Wasn’t bad at all. It uses the body bolts so you just need to be patient and use a breaker bar. Took about 1.5 hours.

they look exactly like the rock hard 4x4 rails, I got the same, but the angled down version... looks good. no trouble with the body bolts ? so many horror stories of them breaking off or the bolt housing coming unwelded.....

Diode Dynamics clear led side markers

I have a problem. When I see posts like this (and the Gladiator tailgate emblem), I have to temper my kneejerk desire to buy by asking myself, "If they were clear from the factory, would you be considering buying orange ones/or a tailgate that just said "Jeep?" and more than just this time, the answer has been yes. I don't doubt you have your reasons, and I mean no offense, just sharing my own experience when I visit this particular thread. I swear my gut reaction to every modification that can be done is that I might need to do that to mine! And it's unhealthy. All that said, would love to see those new markers on your Jeep.

I installed my Hauk "Gladiator" tailgate Badge kit today.

Great tag!

Funally got around to installing my @pixeldecals fender vent decals.

what backspacing and offset did you go with ?

-12mm offset and 4.530 BSM. With the 12.5 tire size, they go quite wide and I have mud flaps inbound

Do you know if these work with sport/maxtow models?

I have them on my maxtow and my wrangler sport.

Got my Barricade Rock Sliders installed. They could have made all the pinch seam brackets like the front so they could all be used with the factory rock rails installed. Just enough step the wife can still get in after I get the lift installed in a couple weeks.

If they were clear from the factory I wouldn’t buy orange. Just like my stock wheels I still have which I like therefore have no reason to buy another aftermarket set. The clear side markers make for a cleaner look. I think the amber ones ruin it for most vehicles not just gladiators. So what I got from your input is that you assume most people get stuff just to do it and question whether they would if it were that way stock. Well maybe for some but not for me. Actually I’m probably the last person that would be the case for, since I hate overly done vehicles and my build although is not stock, has a very semi stock look and is tastefully done(by choice). Check out my vehicle showcase and you’ll see what I mean. Bottom line is if I like it I get it. So that may be the case for some but not me.

side note: I think the gladiator tailgate badging looks way too gawdy myself therefore I’ll keep my JEEP logo. I’ve even said this before on here in previous post ironically. No offense to those with it. Just making a point. So in a way I can somewhat agree to your comment, I just don’t assume that’s the case for everyone especially by a simple clear side marker upgrade. So that’s quite the opposite of your assumption (at least for me).

And how much did it end up costing you ????

By no means do I assume most people do this -just that I have a tendency to! Will check out your vehicle showcase. My own Jeep is mostly stock as well. Personalization can go a long way, but can also be never ending.

Lol. Got tons of ideas. Only thing i cant decide is what wheels to go with. Originally i was going to pick the Warn wheels then i saw some replica quadratec mophic wheels i like as well. Just waiting on my Rubi to show up.

Installed a K&N Not Really Cold Air Intake. Definitely louder than stock which is what I was looking for. Slight better throttle response.

Added Teraflex quick disconnects. *Warning this kit is not compatible with the Mojave trim. I found out after the fact (my fault) but made it work. The spring towers are slightly different so two of the brackets had to be ground a bit.
