I remember my first waves with my wrangler it was awesome. I've seen about the same wave reply with the JT so far, although I do get super excited when I see another as its pretty rare around me yet.
And yeah, waving at Jeeps when I would drive my parent's car or something was super awkward...
Yeah, I wanted something locking to at least keep the honest criminals out (I live in Chicago and park occasionally on the street). The option to pop it off when I need the full bed is nice as well, and it fits nicely under the factory rolling bed cover, so most of the time folks can't even see...
Installed a swingcase on my driver's side. Seems like a solid box and mount, and has a pretty good amount of space in it.
Also got on the highway for the first time for a log drive with the falcon adjustable steering stabilizer. Kicked it up to the firm setting, and it held super true...

Then on to the lights (KC...
Moved the ham radio body to behind the rear seat, drivers side. The mesh pocket there is actually pretty perfect to hold it in place for now, although I may mount the bracket at some point later. Cleaned up the head mount using the magnet-based pate that came with the radio and a ram-ball flat...
Installed my GPCA grab handles, hard-wired the radar detector, and installed the HAM radio and antenna. Head is mounted on a CMM bolt and RAM mount. I don't like the current location of the base, thinking of putting it behind the rear driver seat, but need to measure if the control cables will...
Just did about 300 miles on the highway with the cruise set at ~75 the whole way, and got 16.4. Basically stock rubicon, hard top, and the only mod (so far) is a 12k winch added to the front. About 900 miles total on it now as well.
Hey all, so just getting started on the first of what will probably end up being too many mods to my new gladiator. I have a Rubicon, and got the factory steel bumper along with it. I picked up a Warn winch plate and Smitty 12k winch, and was installing those today, but when I went to...
