You are new Hero. Thanks for the details. I will be copying you!!!!
I posted a DIY on steering wheel disassembly if you haven’t done it before. Good luck and take your time on the paint! It’s worth it.

Like most people have said on here, the red dash looks better in person, but I still wasn’t a fan. Now it’s a Gator dash with a matching steering wheel bezel. The photo does a pretty good job of showing the chameleon effect of Gator based on the lighting too.

Gator Gladiator Rubicon
Ordered my Gator Gladiator Rubicon just this evening! I was going back and forth between a JLUR and the JTR and finally settled on the Gladiator!

I live in Colorado and do a lot of hiking, climbing, biking, etc and the amount of versatility and capability with this truck is amazing...I can't wait for it to get here! Keep the photos comin' :involve:

Now it’s a Gator dash
Decisions, decisions. I have the paint and I am taking the dash apart this weekend to run cables for the front camera. To paint or not to paint, that is the question. Other options include leaving it alone or trading someone for the stock sport dash.

That really looks awesome. So much better than the red.

I posted some pictures of my gator on my build thread but thought it deserved to be posted here too. This is my version of the Jeep Wayout concept. I'm happy with the end results.
Rubicon hood badges have recently been removed and all emblems have been changed to black.
Sorry for the finger shot but needed to hide my street sign lol.
