I had thought that by buying a Rubicon I would not have to do anything to it....

You're changing my mind...now would you please talk to my wife?

Bartact seat covers installed. Not difficult but I’ve had them in my JK previously.

I had same covers in my JK. Bartact told me they wouldn’t work in my JT because of the seat airbags? You have different info?

You have to get the ones for the side airbags. I had those in my JK and now in the JT.

More pix of the lifted Gladiator coming but here are a few measurements from the lift yesterday.
Front flare (measured at bottom of flare below turning signal) - before 34 1/4 after 36 1/4
Front bumper (measured at top back of bumper) before 29 1\8 after 31 1/16
Rear tow hook (measured at top of tow hook) before 28 1/8 after 29 3/8
Bottom back rear flare before 25 1/2 after 27”
@Pat2Alaska, thanks for the measurements. I would really like to get an overall height measurement on your Gladiator from the ground to the top of your hardtop. I have a height challenged garage opening! Thanks in advance...

Hows the visibility out the rear window with that graphic on? For privacy (and heat down here in FL) I would be tempted to put just the plain black mesh vinyl on with no graphic.

Visibility is great and it definitely shades the back considerably.

Looks great! I went with Silver on my JT because otherwise I'm a lunatic about paint condition. Trying not to care so much on the jeep, but this is making me want to dig in!
