Absolutely loving your build, also got a Sport S. How’d you go about getting the aux switch bank? You just go through the dealer for the parts/install or did you just order from MOPAR and install yourself?

This should be the one you want. Likely, the one you ordered says it's for a Dana 30. All gladiators have a Dana 44I mean link sorry
Thanks man, it's been/still is a fun project.Absolutely loving your build, also got a Sport S. How’d you go about getting the aux switch bank? You just go through the dealer for the parts/install or did you just order from MOPAR and install yourself?
Yup the link you sent was the one I got for the Dana 44 and Returned! OMG! There was no way that that U-bolt was going to fit and I did not want to force it. Has there been a design change to the casting for 2021??This should be the one you want. Likely, the one you ordered says it's for a Dana 30. All gladiators have a Dana 44

Ok so you have the right skid but the u bolt is too short. This has come up in a couple of threads. Message the Rancho rep on this forum. He will get you set up with a new u bolt that fits.Yup the link you sent was the one I got for the Dana 44 and Returned! OMG!

How attached is that tab and what did you use to cut it off?After staring at my front light bar for months I decided to take it off. After upgrading to the Oculus LED headlights/fogs it really doesn't add much light up front and it's always looked kind of just stuck on to me. I didn't like the look of the naked mounting tab so I cut that off as well. Looks much cleaner to me now.

The tab is welded on. I used an electric cut off wheel/grinder to cut of the tab and then smooth out the the bull bar. Then I hit it with some rustoleum self etching primer and rustoleum flat/matte black. The paint matches pretty well and it's on the back side of the bull bar so it isn't noticeable.How attached is that tab and what did you use to cut it off?
I have the same bumper on order and won’t be mounting any lights. What paint did you use to touch It up and how well did it match?
