From experience, it may not be worth your money. I made the swap on my granite crystal after seeing the black satin grille on a few other lighter colored JTs. Don’t get me wrong I like it more than the color match, but it really isn’t noticeable unless in good sunlight, I’d assume your black paint will cause the same. I’m good with it bc I notice and like it, but probably wouldn’t do it again if given the option.

Is that the MOPAR grille? I thought it blacked out the headlight surrounds and grille inserts.

Got the fire extinguisher mounted. Not locked. We’ll see how long it stays there before someone decides they need it more than me…

It is and it does come with satin black headlight/grille accents. I went full black for a while and then decided to swap my original grille accents in for some contrast. Only combo I haven’t run is body match with black inserts… maybe next summer lol. Photo dump of all the combinations if you’re interested.

What Did you do with the JLU sliders? I assume they did not work for the gladiator?

Swapped the halogen fogs for a pair of LEDs. Picked them up for free for taking a stock plastic bumper off of someone’s hands. First photo is halfway through.

I used this 12v harness:

https://www.amazon.com/Volt-Power-Adapter-Wrangler-Gladiator/dp/B087T2W99F

and this Powerwerx USB charging port:

https://powerwerx.com/backlit-blue-...L9glUV8iOvfnoBZZ14NpczJmWLIrmQm4aAsGlEALw_wcB

Pulling the dash panels off gave me access to the 12v accessory plug. Attaching the harness was simple, then I ran two 16g wires from the harness through the center console tunnel, and out to the back of the rear console. That back panel comes off with 2 screws in the armrest storage. Drilling out the hole for the usb is simple enough and the plug fits easily in the cavity between the rear A/C ducts.

It's not powered by an accessory switch, rather it's piggybacked on the ignition controlled 12v outlet to the left of the window controls
Could be a great way to relocate the 12v outlet you loose when you install the Mopar Towing Break Controller.

Added some Overland flair, i was skeptical about the silver trim, as I’m going for the black and stingray look, but thought it looked pretty badass.

Love the slight overlap of letters. Where did you get this?
