So the bracket/adapter plate is backwards in this picture. There are recesses in the adapter that will hide the bolts connecting it to the crossmember, then the bolts connecting it to the skid are exposed.
There also should have been a bunch of rounded head hex bolts in the hardware kit...
All of that is true.
The simplest answer to OP's question is: They already had a rear suspension design for a light truck sitting around, and it was far, far easier to just copy-paste the 1500 rear onto the Wrangler Front and call it a day than to custom design a new rear end, or custom...
I went from a built 2013 taco to a 2020 gladiator overland.
The comparison just isn't fair: the taco is fundamentally a 2006 design for a mid size, low price work truck; the gladiator was designed for the off-road enthusiast and jeep lifestyler to have a cool pickup.

It's almost certainly a pulse width modulated dimmer, so it's not actually 6 volts; it's slamming back and forth between 12V and 0 V for varying % of time to produce whatever voltage is called for.
The voltage converter should fix it though.
Driving around last night, when I push the button for bed lights they stayed on as long as I drove. And behaved like the fog-lights when I turned the truck off: went out and came back on when I restarted an hour later.
This was a 2020 Overland edition, your software load my vary.
Is there a reason to use the footwell lights and not the bed lights? The bed lights behave as desired with door open/close and can be controlled while the truck is on with a button on the dashboard.
ETA: mostly this thread has convinced me to put my rock and dust lights on the bed light...
"You should verify the sources can actually produce 12V open circuit (nothing hooked up to them). " Since the lights work correctly when the door is open apparently whatever circuit you've tapped is capable of producing enough voltage and current (sometimes) to drive the rock lights, but for...
If you're brave, and don't mind pulling rope, completely agree.
Some of the black trails are doable without lockers, but you''ll want full armor and bumpers.
TL;DR for this thread: a combination of shitty HVAC control logic, shitty sensor placement and system design, combined with #LegendaryMoparReliability means you have to use the LO and HI settings to make get the vent temperature you want.
Or just take the roof and doors off; then drive fast to...
If you're not planning to bash the bumper on rocks, use it as a step ladder in muddy boots, etc. powder is definitely the way to go. I fuck up finished surfaces on bumpers and sliders like it's my job, so all the powder coat on my truck ends up covered in paint anyway.
