What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[Tim]

Just finished my Diamondback HD install. Going to readjust the rear cover latches again tomorrow. Install time was about 2 hours by myself. Ordered 2Dec19, delivered 13Dec19 (today). I was initially going to get the SE that would have been more than adequate for my needs and usage, but for just $400.00 difference went with the HD cover that is way overkill for the JT bed rails support capacity.

Damn Styrofoam packing, little Styrofoam BBs all over the place.

Looks great! I went with the SE myself for the reasons you mentioned. I purchased a couple sets of extra cleats and installed them onto the cover myself just to replicate the tie down points of the HD should I ever need to secure something on top.

Completed mechanical install of OEM steel bumper and Warn Zeon 10S winch. Electrical and install rope left to go.

Got winch off craigslist.com. $500 and came with optional Mopar winch hoop. Added Rock Hard winch plate and fairlead adapter for $200. So, $700 spent for $1898 (QTec prices) in equivalent Mopar parts.

Install is a pain compared to the Shrockworks bumper on my JK. But, no drilling/grinding required (though Rock Hard warns with my winch it is very close and some installs may actually require grinding). Very happy with the results.

Installed the Tazer JL Lite and played around with the light show settings which are controlled via key fob! Still have my front train cam to install but holding off until Z Automotive offers some type of easy grill mount.

Do you have enough air getting to your radiator?

I don't see why not. I'll probably never know unless I hook up to a heavy load and try to pull it up a long grade in 100° temps.

That is the exact purchase I nearly made when I was overly concerned with weight, until I found out the weight in the Gladiator configuration was HD at 105 lb. VS the SE at 70 lb.

So I spent an extra $400 for a 35 lb. heaver cover for the extra strength that the Gladiator bed can't handle, really should have just purchased the SE with a couple set of cleats like you did.

Can you post a pic of the front of your JT with the lights and a pic of what it looks like through the Trail Cam? Thanks!

Your Jurassic Park collection is very awesome. If i didn't like gator so much, i might have to do this. Loved that movie as a kid.
