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

[Sarge502]

Installed the Bestop Sunrider in Twill. So far so good. Although the weather is starting to get cooler, since my JT is garage kept and not even my daily driver, I might just keep this thing on through the winter too. I initially planned to take it off during winter months. We’ll see. Love it so far though.

Says they do not fit Galdiators

I've purchased several parts which were similarly identified by Amazon, but fit/functioned correctly anyway.

Nice composition on those photos!
I think you'll be surprised how nice the Twill material handles the cold. We don't switch any out for the winter here in CO.

Thanks, yeah I only considered removal during cold months due to hearing others typically doing it prior to actually getting mine. Now that I have it I don't think I will be. Appreciate the insight.

Bumper looks sharp! Which cowl lights and mounts are those?

Certainly better lights out there but I got those when I first bought my Gladiator and they are plenty bright for the price! I did have to get a different size bolt than what came with the lights.

What are you going to do with those holes for the proximity sensors.

Here is what this bumper looks like now with the sensor holes plugged.

Fox IFP steering stabilizer installed - my 10/2020 built JT has the old round bolt style for those that are curious.

Installed a Facebook fined Decked bed.

Like that a lot. May have to look into that. I was initially considering the Falcon one. Feel an improvement?

Installed front and rear Armorlite flooring. Love it. Easy to install, took about 2 hours including stopping to chat with neighbor. Also tried to explain to my wife why I was doing in but she just shook her head and went back inside. If you want my mats and carpet, check the classifieds!

Took it for a little spin and it definitely tracked straighter without constant input to the steering wheel. Nice cheap upgrade - though I’m sure the falcon would be more noticeable if you go that route.

I added some marker vent lights to my Mojave hood. More superficial than anything, bit I like the look.

Very interested in this. Looks like you are very happy with the results. No problems with the Rubicon hood decals? I may be following you on this one.

I worked around all decals and only hit the painted surface until the actual final stage ceramic coating. I did apply the ceramic pro clear on the Rubicon decals lightly, but not my black side vent decals. No issues with the Rubicon decals if just doing the ceramic pro coating. I watched Rob’s video on Quadratec and followed that process pretty closely.

Now the wife wants her Wrangler with the same shine, so there goes another weekend to keep the peace. I think you will be happy.

Supposed to have been an easy job today installing mud flaps/splash guards at all four wheel locations. Ha ha ha
Left rear wheel wouldn't break free from the hub. I had to beat on it with a six pound hammer and kick it. It took a lot of hammer blows to get it to come loose. What a PITA.
Got it done though.

LOVE mine. I got my BesTop Sunrider (the BestTop version ) from QuadraTech. Goes on in the spring and comes off in the fall. It's nice to be riding around with it open then simply close it when destination achieved. When it commences to raining, simply pull over, pull it over, and voila, dry. No having to wrestle the panels from the bed (if you even brought them with you ) and fit them in.

@Steveg137 , Install is real easy. BesTop's directions are fairly well written although, I did have some trouble figuring out the first part of clipping those two clips to the frame as I couldn't find them at first because they had retracted a little into the canvas but other than that, easy peasy.

Thanks !
