What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Sarge502]

Black Out look on my Overland almost complete. Did the letters a few days ago….Gladiator Fender stickers came yesterday put on today. Now just waiting on my grille and bumper inserts than no more silver on the body.

Added 1 3/4 spacers all around from CJPony Parts. Love the new stance and feel when driving. First three are before and last two after. Sorry, I'm not much of a photog, camera glass is busted on my phone.

Installed 1” spacer on the front and 3/4” spacer on the rear.

I wonder how this would look with those spacers reversed. I really love the raked look and I want my truck to look more like a fast hot rod than an off road machine.

There is still just a slight rake to it, probably like 1/4 to 1/2 inch

Installed US Cargo Contol L-track aircraft rails. They are 4’ long and not a direct bolt-in. I took careful measurements and drilled and chamfered the proper holes. I used stainless steel hardware since this is for outdoor use. I have another one on the way for the front of the bed. Since this type of rail is used by the aircraft industry, there are lots of tie-down accessories.

So not just today, but last Saturday and today I put I in my armorlite flooring and bartact seat covers, alien sunshade, and weathertech mudflaps.

Here’s the driver side armorlite after 1 week of driving about 3 hours a day M-F. I can tell you, when the carpet was in, one week of driving and it looked pretty rough. We have a gravel driveway, so all that gravel dust that gets kicked in really sets into carpet, and the armorlite is miles ahead, and I can just wipe it down.

Here is the backseat armorlite, not long after my son hurled all over it lmao! Can’t even tell it happened. He hasn’t thrown up in a vehicle since he was a toddler, so of course it would happen in my new truck. But, the seat cover and floor wiped right down! The back seat cover is just a cheaper one off Amazon, but it did okay too.

Alien sunshade. Awesome, no flapping! I think I might have it in upside down though, and the logo is supposed to be facing up? Not sure it matters, and I ain’t messing with the bungees to flip it.

Here’s the weathertech mudflaps. I should have installed them as soon as I got them, since now I have a couple rock chips from our driveway gravel.

Everything was pretty straight forward to install. It did not take me 1-2 hours to install the armorlite though! It took me a lot longer, but I also had to go back and fix a couple spots I messed up. I could have done it much quicker with some help from my husband, but I’m way too stubborn. I did have old dog as a supervisor though.

oh yeah, I also debadged it. Now that the rubicon stickers are off, I’d like to stick something else where they were…maybe a stripe?

I'm on the fence about it in general. I love the look of the gladiator with it lifted around the height of a rubicon, but I also love the look of my sport model as is (no lift but with 35's and 1.5" offset). I'm worried about messing with that. As a kid I used to love the hot rod trucks of all the different hot rods out there.

Rear door ThinSkinz.

Finally got bit and had to replace my windshield. I’m hoping this is a lot more durable than the plain OEM.

Decided to try one of these out. Always wanted one on my Tj but never got around to it.

I had one on my TJ, big fan. If I didn’t have a Rubi, I’d have AR for the JT.

Swapped out the gloss black grille for the Mopar satin black grille. Just have to get the trim pieces painted Nacho now. IMO this is how the Willys should have come since all of the other trim and wheels are satin black.
