I wasn't sure if this was WITH or TO, probably neither, but it's amusing. This is a t-shirt my son got me for my birthday. My JT is the reverse mullet of trucks. :)

Installed foam weather seal in the gap between the painted fenders and body to keep the small stones and debris out after seeing a thread detailing this on here.
Added a Stubby Antenna and cup holder inserts for a little added bling and function as well.

Plasti-dipped the grill. Very happy with it.

How do you actually do it? With a spray gun?
Sorry for the stupid question..

‘How long do you think it will last?

2 cans of spray paint plastidip. Removed honeycomb insert first. I’ve had other vehicles with plastidipped grills and lasted a very long time.

Started working on integrating my on-board air mounting into the piece that will allow me to haul 4x8 sheet goods. I've got everything fitting right. Need to paint the wood and get the CO2 tank mounts. I'm going to mount the plywood to the 2x4 with screws, something easy to remove when needed, but secure enough to keep everything in place when wheeling.

Swapped out the bs plastic Sport S “brush guard” (more like just a air dam) for a legit Rubicon metal front skid plate and a Rubicon bumper. Moving the fog lights over required some trimming as the mounting was different. Also used new bolts, lock washers, flat washers and nuts since I didn’t want to wait for the factory hex insert nuts. Much more trail worthy now!

Looking to get one for my wife also and would like to know if the main tube is contoured to the Gladiator's body or just straight?
it is straight, buy it’s tucked in closer to the body than most of the step bars I’ve seen. If I remember, I’ll take a picture and post it tomorrow.

Took Samson to two more S.C. State Parks. Found a few mud puddles, got a little dirty - so the JT got a bath! Tried out the $12 Foam Cannon that I got on eBay to fit my Karcher K5 electric pressure washer

I pulled off the worst mod in the history of JT mods. 200 Lumens a pice for less than $2. Installation time 5 seconds.:like:

I think that the lighting in the back set is poor. I have been thinking of a way to fix this and I have some ideas floating around. This is not my permeant fix but a great way to figure out where to put the lighting and how much is needed. Plus at $4 it did not dig into my beer money:whew:
