  1. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    Use a pick to carefully open the yellow plastic clip retaining the left side hinge linkage, then slide the linkage out from the green clip, and remove the green clip from the left side hinge. Transfer the green clip to the supplied replacement linkage from black shee, transfer the anti rattle...
  2. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    I strongly suggest you start by measuring your center line and marking it off. Then, measure 415mm from the outboard edge and mark that location. Finally, mark your horizontal 1186mm line by marking out 593mm in each direction. I used a tape measure graduated in mm that I purchased off the Zon...
  3. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    The document provided by Black Sheep can be a tad bit daunting if you arent (or are!) familiar with GD&T / Technical drawings. There are a few key points here. 1. The line that indicates "All measurements are taken from the tailgate edge (Including the plastic cover)". This is referring to...
  4. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    Alright here we go. I removed the tailgate for the install. This is not necessary but I felt it would be easier. For the purposes of orientation / avoiding confusion - Imagine you are standing behind your gladiator with the tailgate in the down / open position: "Inboard" - I am referring to...
  5. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    Looking at this image from the install guide provided makes the GD&T drawing with the cutting specs a lot less intimidating. Im thinking that once I unbolt the panels from the tailgate interior, the specs for the cuts will come into focus and be easier to understand.
  6. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    I took mine out of the box yesterday, reviewed the install guide, etc. The parts themselves are SOLID. Just the right amount of weight - its not obnoxious but it certainly inspires confidence. The latches give a solid SNAP when you release them. The whole thing screams quality. Im planning...
  7. Length of shock Vs Lift amount

    Did get them, they were on backorder for a LOOOONG Time through quadratec, but I have received them. Havent had a chance to install yet, hoping to address that soon. Works been kickin my ass.
  8. Gladiator Tailgate Modification

    I apologize, its actually been bugging the heck out of me, I have been completely carried away the last few months with work and life, been radio silence for the most part, lot of late nights and 6 day weeks. Tailgate kit and other parts have been collecting dust. Im finally finding some time...
  9. Anyone hacked off the 2 mufflers ?

    Nice, thank you for taking the time to do that. I have one of the 12v powered exhaust cutouts with a remote from Summit Racing that has been sitting in the garage for 6 months while I deal with other projects and stuff thats higher on the list of priorities... this is pretty much exactly where I...
  10. Most common tools needed to work on the gladiator

    Was about to post a bottle opener, you beat me to it ahha
  11. What's the best setup for running topless/doorless to minimize interior dust?

    Oh my god, does anyone make screen doors for the jeep? I dont think Ive ever seen that but now I kinda want one
  12. Rough County vs Fox steering stabilizer

    Reformed RC sympathizer - Ran some of their parts in the past before it bit me. Sway links they sent me were missing bushings, and the quality was garbage (Powder coating was trash, covered in chips and dents) went through warranty to get a replacements.. Customer service was rude and then...
  13. Alpine I509-WRA-JL vs. Stinger Heigh10

    This - Newer version of android and better specs / features.
  14. California Warn 100635 "Sidewinder" Winch Attachment

    Yep, slightly different shape and whatnot but the same idea / part essentially.
  15. JeepSteel flush tail lights

    While I totally agree with @DocMike that these look like a trailer light, I gotta say, I love them. I actually really thought the Oracle ones were ugly. These, to me, are awesome. I dont like the scotch lock connectors, if I bought these I would purchase OEM connectors and splice them in. I...
  16. California Warn 100635 "Sidewinder" Winch Attachment

    Warn Winch Hook Doohickey. Has rubber pads on the back for bracing against the fairlead. Had it for a few months, havent actually used it for a recovery, its been mostly decorative or sitting in my winch bag. Looking to sell it as Ive decided id rather put my cash into a soft shackle type setup...
  17. Rear Sway Bar Reinforcement

    Got mine on this weekend. Wanted to paint them with some bedliner, but said hell with it and just slapped em on. I ended up ditching the heat shield on the drivers side, didnt want to fiddle with it. The bolts I was sent were actually the wrong thread pitch for the OEM bracket, so I tossed em...
  18. Each Gladiator Trim's Use Case

    Oh man, that sounds awesome - I dont think I have room for it in the budget right now though, Im working through a pile of parts that have been sitting in the garage over the winter, gotta clear the backlog and pile some extra cash up again before I go splurging on more upgrades.
  19. Each Gladiator Trim's Use Case

    Willy`s was the right choice for me - solid middle of the road option. Covered a lot of the basic stuff you want out of the box, but wasnt wasting a bunch of money on stuff that Id be upgrading past the quality / options offered by OEM. The wheels / lift / suspension of the Mojave or Rubicon...
  20. Cigarette Lighter Removal

    Paging @Kindafearless One of our forum members has produced these in the past. Edit: Heres a link to the 3D Print files they shared before. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4948537 There are sites you can send the file to and pick the material, color, etc if you dont have / know someone...
