A Big Thank You To All That Came Before Me... My Projects

[Kbracken]

I joined this forum back in August of last year (before I even bought my Gladiator) because I knew I was going to be buying one, I just didn't know which trim I wanted at that time. After doing much research on here and hearing everyone's opinions and ideas, I found which ones I liked and which ones I didn't and made my decision on what trim level(s), color and options I wanted. In the end of January of this year I found a killer deal and picked up my brand new 2025 Rubicon X in the 41 color (the best color in my opinion.. haha). This is my first Jeep outside of a couple of Grand Cherokees I have owned over the years and so far I love it, even more so now that the weather is beginning to break and warm up and I am able to open it up a little.

Since buying my Gladiator I have obviously been bitten by the J.E.E.P (Just Empty Every Pocket) bug and have come across a lot of great ideas from other members posts that I have seen and all the information others have provided has made some of these mods even easier for a DIYer. I'll share some of my projects that I have done over the past couple months all from things I found on this forum ( door rack, roof wall mount, custom wood bed divider).

There is so many great Jeep enthusiasts and over all generally nice people on here and I look forward to continuing to be a part of a great forum. Thank to all who have shared and continue to share their ideas, stories, build and over all comradery. I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead.

I apologize if some of the photos appear out of order, tried to rectify this the best I could.

I like the divider, nice work! I cut some wood for mine and used it to buy some plywood. I was thinking of painting it or stenciling it somehow but haven't decided yet.

Thank you! I know I went a little overkill on the bed divider for what it will be used for, but I'm in the automotive industry and now that I run a shop, I still like to use my body man/painter skills every so often so I keep my skills sharp.

Gonna be cheeky and ask what the measurements are for your bed divider if you will share. Love the look of it and will shamelessly steal the idea. LOL

Also it’s 13 degrees out in the middle of the day and I don’t want to crawl around in my bed with a tape measure.

Sounds like you are one of the smarter ones , figured out what you want first! Also be careful in the beginning, so many people go nuts getting all kind of things that they really didn't need , but had to have it. Drive your Ruby for a while ,it is capable as hell stock and think about what you really need not what is the cool look. Welcome .....Jack

LOL I used a 2"x8" piece of wood and it is cut to 57 3/4" wide and then I cut the two bottom corners at roughly a 45 degree angle to accommodate the way the bed sides curve to the floor.

I agree completely, as of right now I haven't gone too crazy IMO, I added 1.75" hubcentric wheel spacers until I decide to go wider wheels and to 35's in the distant future, I added my front light bar to my bumper and just added Hooke Road steps and tube doors for future use. I don't plan to really add much more at this point until I've had it awhile and have some more insight if there is anything else that I need/want.

Thank you! I wrote all those measurements down and will be by Home Depot or Lowe’s later next week. LOL

Have to add this for full effect.

I have the same door hooks. Love the color match be divider. I agree love the 41 color.

Might I suggest
JOYTUTUS Hard Door Storage Bags... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYQ45XCY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Protects the doors but still allow to hang them. They are not very thick material but work for light protection
