The winch and stinger loop went on without any issues. Next up is AAL high line LEDs and inner fender liners.

I have the forward trail cam on my gladiator and was looking at the same stinger. Was wondering if you could get a picture sometime of how the trail cam looks with that stinger. Would be greatly appreciated.

So the bar is almost directly in front of the camera when you’re on flat ground (see first pic). Although it looks bad, this is a good thing. When you’re on steep terrain where you can’t see over the hood (like the camera was designed), there’s no blockage of the terrain (second pic and third to show how steep it was).

Awesome I appreciate it, definitely love the look of the stinger but also really like the rubi bumper so probably going to go with this one. Thanks

I had the same thought process. The install wasn’t bad at all. I pulled the end caps, installed the winch, and installed the stinger all in one setting.

Painted the interior of the hard top today. Rain is coming Tuesday, so we’ll see how it looks put together on Monday night.

Your rig looks good! Yeah, they’re the Bartact OD Green and Black covers. They’re a slightly different shade than gator, but they match pretty well.

Just finished installing American Adventure Labs High Line LEDs and inner fenders. It’s a pretty easy install and looks great. Plus plenty of room for when I step up to bigger tires.
Any tips for gutting the fenders?

Honestly it wasn’t too bad at all. Once you have the inner fender removed, I do recommend using needle nose pliers on the clips instead of just trying to rip the fender off. There’s a small gap behind the body panel where if you look up, you can see the backs of the plastic clips. If you squeeze on them with a set of needle nose, the clip pops right out. It saves you from breaking any clips and having to go to the dealer for more. Other than that, once you have the fender off and all the screws out, don’t be afraid to tug a little to separate the top and bottom of the fender. They’re plastic welded together.

Thanks. This is on my near-term to-do list. I need to stop rubbing the tires every time I flex.

American Adventure Labs has a really good video on how to take them apart without breaking anything.
