Baby step... inserted riv-nutsv for the maximus-3 sport bar... first time for that.

Bedliner - Ameraguard brand. It's a little softer than line-x but not rubbery. Not slippery but not TOO grippy. I used to sell Dodge (now Ram) trucks and I liked this brand the best. They sprayed the tub of my JKU in 2008 and it still looks great. Got the UV added to keep it looking good. $525 and supported a great local business. That's a win in my book.

Yeeeehaaawwww!

@Maximus-3 sport bar installed!

Now to get some mineral spirits to clean up the anti-sieze. That stuff gets messy!

Doing the lights later this afternoon or tomorrow

Wired the sport bar lights. Now to hook them into the truck.

I'm tapping the bed lights for the white lights and the tailgate brake light harness for the red lights to act as a 4th brake light.

I really wish the sport bar had holes to conceal the wires. I'm going to zip tie a wrote loom for now until I get brave enough to drill a hole in the sport bar.

Maximus-3 sport bar looks good
Might make one myself but half the bed.

I know that cold air intakes are meh without supporting mods but this is enough to keep me from messing with the stock exhaust... got it new in box for $275 from a local guy who ordered the wrong one and didn't want to return it to quadratec.

I personally would have bought the 63 series because I'm not a chrome fan but the price was good...

(Sorry for the vertical video... my son recorded it... )

Installed sunrider soft top. Totally didn't think I would like it but i LOVE IT!

Bought a cooler that matches the Gladiator

Proximity sensors and limitless tailgate letters will be delivered Monday.

 

[garzilla]

Installed proximity locks today with help from my son. Good times!

How hard was the keyless entry install ?

 

[flipmode]

Can you tell me about this key hole cover:

​

Mine is all black, I've blacked out all the things EXCEPT my keyholes, and have been looking for something like this for an unreasonable amount of time. Would you share the product info and maybe where you picked them up?

Thanks!

BTW: Your rig is excellent, thanks for sharing all the pics along the way.

Finally got around to getting my decals made. Getting a matching green overlay for the Jeep on the side and then maybe wrap the rings in green. Those holes are gonna be a nightmare... might paint them instead.

The black is reflective at night

Thanks to Texas allergies I didn't get my Oracle backup lights installed this morning. But maybe tonight when it cools off.

Coming soon limitless tailgate that I wrapped in green

Sorry for the delay. It was not hard at all.

Here's what I used to learn:

 

[garzilla]

Finally was able to finish the wiring for my maximus-3 sport bar. Tapped the bed light for the cargo light. Pressing unlock 3 times on the remote turns the cargo lights on for 30 min (tazer feature)

For the red (brake) lights, I tapped them into the third brake light

I drilled access holes into the sport bar and put grommets on the holes to protect the wires. Super happy with how it came out
