Would like some expert advice here.
I am not planning on doing any type of extreme off reading.
I am thinking of getting a more substantial front bumper- I doubt I will ever add a winch but may eventually.

I want a good brand that is solid and would work with a wench if I decided to add one.

In your experiences, what is a good brand and model that would work with my Gladiator Overland?
If you have no way your leaning particularly but want the possible expansion in the future why not look at the rubicon steel bumper? It's about a 1k the last I looked if I recall correctly. I am sure some others may give reasons why to go with a different bumper but the rubi steel bumper will give you the same look as the overland (slightly more aggressive looking) and if I am not mistaken you can actually remove the wings in the future if you need more room for flex on an aggressive trail. Also there is a good chance you may find someone here on the forums selling the rubi steel bumper to save a few bucks. I have seen a few listed but all were too far for me to realistically go pick them up.

And finally, this weekend I installed a M.O.R.E dead pedal (actually, my wife did, since I can’t get both of my arms into the seat well at the same time...)...

It is held w double sided tape. I am sorry it covers the two bolts. It should have a cutout imo.
it looks really cool though.

First off road trip, Tincup Pass: no issues, was a bit of snow and ice on the west side of the pass but she did great!

Then got her topless to do some errands and hit Garden of the Gods! Love her when she's topless, so fun!

Also the dogs approve. And don't worry the tiny dog was only in the bed while stopped, so he didn't blow away.

Took a can of black plasti-dip to those silver mustache tips on the Overland. To those that like them silver , that’s cool. My sense of aesthetics says NO! I don’t mind the grille but around the driving lites ....nope, ain’t gonna. Before & After.

I am not familiar with plasti-dip. Will research it- I like your look much better

Agreed! I have seen so few of them anyway it would be great to see another one out wheel'n. I was actually there on Saturday afternoon. Headed to Medano today then maybe a few other fun Colorado passes and possibly Utah.
