Finally stopped putting tint off. Matched the front to the rears and went with 40% on the windshield.

Depends on what you are driving and what you plan on doing.

Picked it up from the service department after getting the rear window replaced. Took them a while to get the parts, then scheduled for drop-off when the glass installer was there. They finished the work yesterday and let it sit for 24 hours. Work looks great.

Interested to see if it keeps the rain out.

Nice! What perfect did you do on the front to match the rear?
Very good question and I probably should have asked. But I told them to just match the rear. It’s pretty spot on. And from previous research the rears stock are I wanna say are around 35% or close (someone correct me if I’m wrong).

the windshield I know I went with 40% for sure.

Followed another members idea .... Located the winch control box in the engine bay using a passenger side bracket. Got everything lined up like I needed it. Welded a steel plate to the bracket then (using original control box bolts) attached the box to the bracket.

Clears the Rubicon hood

Unfortunately, had a car driver not pay attention and rear end me at a traffic stop! She obviously got the worst of the situation, my rear bumper and tailgate are the obvious damage to my Gladiator.

Finally got my Powertank. Supply chain issues delayed for a few months. Great company though. Mounted it to the BuiltRight molle panel. Too bad all our snow is basically gone now. ?

Your truck looks awesome. I working on building a very similar truck. You responded to my question on the Fox 2.0 RR socks, so I know you have a diesel are running those shock, but
I have a couple of questions about your truck.
Bumper:
Is that the SB Gen2 or Gen3 winch?
Is that the Warn winch hoop?

Lift/Tires: I love the way the tire fits your wheel well from what I see from the front.
What size KO2's are you running?
Is it lifted or on spacers?

Thanks for the help.

It's a warn winch hoop over a SB gen 3 H20. I have the hoop listed for sale.

37" KO2 on AEV Rims and a 2.5" AEV lift.

It drives and handles like a dream. The 2.5 fox's really make a world of difference.

Finally got around to installing my QuakeLED CB/Whip antenna.

Not exactly daylight bright, I'll have to take a video when it's dark.

Thanks! That is pretty much exactly what I'm working towards. In fact I downloaded a picture of your truck for reference just last week.

I have the winch plate and the same winch waiting to be installed. I have that same hoop ordered (backordered actually). It's the Warn 102355 low grill guard. It's taller than the Mopar, but shorter than their taller (mid). What do you think about the color match to the bumper? Is it the same color and texture as the bumper?

I ordered the shocks from Accutune this morning so they should be here in a few weeks. Now I have to bite the bullet and get my Clayton 2.5" lift ordered. Then I just need the temps to get above freezing so I can work on the damn thing.

BTW - I stalked your profile this morning and read about your Gladiator journey. Wow! First the VA f*cks with you, then a lemon from Jeep. That's no way to thank you for your service to our country! For what it's worth I appreciate your service, thank you.

I like being stalked, but if your gonna slip me a roofie, my only rule is buy me dinner first.

Glad I could help out, I'm really loving this build. If there's any other pictures or angles you need let me know.

The only other thing I'm looking to do is add the bed outlet, some wheel spacers and a tent. It's kind of my "PTSD need to escape" vehicle.
