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

[USMC-SSGT]

Fitted a Chinese knock off bumper. No alignment issues, finish looks OEM and winch plate included. reused my OEM hooks. All in all, happy.

Is that this one?

No, it was provided by a local shop. This one didn't have all the holes associated with the parking sensors. I'll check the packaging for info later.

Finally got my Fly Rod Vault on. Used Yakima 1A towers and 58 inch cross bar. Can still remove freedom panels. Glad to have my rods back!

Hi fuelcell - just picked up a 2021 Gladiator R and want to move my fly rods over - any issues with your fly rod holder set-up? Or are you still happy with result?

I really like the shackle hook ups.

i got rid of the silver trim “overland” decal and replaced it with this new custom decal. Much happier.

Installed some cube lights connected to my aux panel.

while looking at lights on Amazon I saw these amber clip on covers, which just blew my mind.

This forum has sold me on the need for amber lights with snow driving and I really wanted to have some for this season. But didn’t really care for full-time amber lights. So these Are the best of both worlds in my opinion.

I used the Mopar mounting brackets. Which like others have said you have to drill some holes, but really they’re not rocket science to install.

annnnnd of course i got my obligatory cut while doing anything to my jeep. No super glue required this time though!

Swapped out the 4.10 gears for 4.88’s. I had a great time. Outside on the carport. Took 4 days total. 2 days per axle. At 70 years of age I’ve learned to work more slowly so I don‘t forget to do stuff. LOL!!! Thanks to Chevymitchell on the JL forum for great instructions on the procedure.

Ambitious and brave. I have all the equipment and a lift and would love to do this for $899 not $2499. Way too terrified to even consider.

This gives me hope. I have a one piece Helios 2 that was going to be a challenge getting to the river. Plus a kayak! This looks like it will be. A great solution. Thanks!

What's the rood noise like from that set-up?

Changed out my shift and 4x4 boots and console lid for the Mojave orange stitching. A quick job surprisingly. The JL forum had a good write up for changing the lock out. (https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/center-console-lid-lock-cylinder-removal.61794/). For the console it was easier to just replace the top portion and not all that comes when purchased. The second picture shows the portion replaced and where the 4 screws are that make it easier than the whole thing.

I think that’s the coolest name decal I’ve seen

Did you do the vents too? Was going to until I saw they were attached from the back. Looked like you needed to pull most of the dash off to accomplish.

I did the vents and dash pad a while ago. You are right though you have to pull quite a bit of the dash out to get to them.

Proud of myself on this one. Have done a few mods copied from other folks here, but this one was a bit more of my own idea. Next I Need to get rid of those screw heads with a little black paint

Love the look. What lights did you use and where did you tie it in?
