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

[SubiRubi]

Today was light install.. Floods for the rack, and spots for the cowl..
Don't like the wire setup.. I want to drill and grommet the holes for the wires to pass thru but couldn't bring myself to make holes in the rack just yet.. So this will work till we get back from our trip. Also used some tie wrap holders that may or may not stick. Guess we'll find out. I used a quick disconnect so if I need to take the rack off to haul taller stuff it's not a problem..
Will be wired to a switch in the bed and to the switch in the cab so either one can be used to turn them on..
BTW.. Jeep did good with the 4 switches in the cab.. Easy wire setup!
As usual any feedback is appreciated..

You may want to get some wire loom to protect and hide the wires , don't be afraid to drill as long as you coat the bare metal you’ll be fine.

Picked up the grille trim pieces from paint this morning. Satin grille install is done.

The other day while I was looking through this forum, I found a review of the JCR Offroad interior molle panels. I thought they looked really cool and functional but there were some fitment problems. They are also $49 per side.

I thought I could make something similar that fit better. I spent $25 on an 1/8” strap of aluminum, some angle brackets, and some pop-rivets. I plan on painting or powder coating them black at a later time.

Got Rebel Off Road Bed rails and High Bed Rack installed. Ran out of daylight so I’ll get the side plates and Rotopax mounted tomorrow. Was missing one of the little steel blocks that the rack mounts into inside the rails but I’m sure they’ll send me one right away.

Decided to plastidip the grill black instead of buying one, removed the mesh inserts and added thin red line insert. Upgraded LED headlights from the stock halogens. Waiting on bumber to ship next!

Got a Rugged Ridge XOR Bumper installed and the ol' winch bolted on. Need to finish up the wiring and get the shackle back on yet.

The new wheels arrived. So now I have the tires, lift, wheels but still waiting on the Jeep!

since you are buying everything before the jeep comes in, ya wanna start selling the stuff you planning to take off now?

I've been researching vehicle gun safes since I got my Gladiator and finally settled on one. Got my new Vaultek today. I've laid my hands on several cheaper pistol storage solutions, but some had hinge pins that could be pushed right out or were otherwise easily compromised if you had 10 minutes and a paperclip. It was between this one and Fort Knox, but inconsistent reviews on the fingerprint reader for Ft Knox safes pushed me to this one. The Vaultek seems worth the extra scratch ($300) from a security standpoint and opens fast if I need it to. There are four ways to open it; it has 4 to 8 digit combination entry, an app on your smartphone (using the same combination as the safe), an instant fingerprint reader as well a backup key. Will secure underneath the seat with a provided cable and the app will alert my phone if it's tampered with or opened. Can fit a full size 1911 and 3-4 mags, which is exactly what I plan on keeping in it. A vehicle is not a gun safe, but this should take more time than the average thief has. And I don't plan on keeping a firearm in it 24/7, but will on trips and such. I'll update further after I've had some time with it, but set up and programming my combination and fingerprints was a breeze and it pops right open with the touch of a finger -and the interior being illuminated when open is a plus.

I will be selling my wheels, tires and suspension once the lift goes on. I don't like selling things I don't currently have in my possession.
