  1. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Oh, and added another new addition a couple weeks ago.
  2. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Installed a Bolt Hood Lock and modified a Mopar grille camera insert to make it work. See write up under RSK: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/bolt-hood-lock.28501/
  3. Bolt hood lock

    I did pretty much the same. But bought the Mopar grille camera center insert and modified it much like you did. I might go back and modify my OEM insert and get more mesh at the top, but for now looks good enough. Special thanks to Rob at Quadratec working with me on the components to make it...
  4. JP's Super-Duper-Gladiator Build Thread

    Actual Actually his sister (Phyllis, name by my daughter aka Phil) showed up and now chief of security when the Gladiator is left unattended.
  5. JP's Super-Duper-Gladiator Build Thread

    Just ordered his brother, impulse buy as usual. Just read your entire build and great posts. Several other ideas gained. Much appreciated!
  6. Premium audio real world experience

    Has anyone accessed or changed the Alpine Premium subwoofer behind the rear seat yet? If so, what size is the sub and any pictures would be appreciated. Hard to get to it? Any access info would be helpful.

    Also papasmurf, how is the road noise roar and handling on the 35’s compared to 33’s? Same, better or worse?
  8. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Added some vent decals. Pricey, but good quality material. https://www.pixeldecals.com/shop/JL-Fender-Vent-Blackout-Decal-2C-Pair Before: Stage 1: Stage 2: Completed:
  9. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    WakesurfVT - I basically read a bunch of reviews, blogs, researched posted feedback on the forums and ultimately narrowed the list to JL Audio 350x and Infinity 3022 based on the good reviews and positive feedback. The kappa’s may be better and cost wasn’t really my deciding factor, but didn’t...
  10. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    No modification to the JT at all. On the Infinity speaker bracket ears I had to put a slight (30 degree-ish) bend with needle nose pliers on each side to fit the top dash compartment screw holes. Nothing to it and that was all. Everything went in nicely and sounds so much better than stock. I...
  11. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Easy, took maybe 20 minutes to do both sides. Just 4 torx screws to remove the cover panel and 2 screws to remove the speaker. No modifications needed although it’s tight and you have to finagle the wires behind the spongy sound deadening insert (you can see it beside the speaker). Use the...
  12. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Swapped out the 3.5” top dash (with Infinity REF3022CFX) and soundbar (with JL Audio C2 350x) speakers. Nice sound improvement over the Alpine Premium speakers. Picture is of the JL Audio in the Soundbar. I’m convinced any Alpine Premium (8.4 with 9 speakers) replacement is a big...
  13. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Added a new Cobra Road Scout Radar Detector/Dash Camera combo. Replaced my old Escort 9500ix after many years of service. I read the old detectors pick up so many false alarms because they pick up rear proximity signals from so many cars with new technology of rear view side mirror sensors. I...
  14. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Need to take the center panel out of my JT to mount the Trail Cam. Where did you buy the center panel insert from for the grill? Can you post the link and is it painted/color black? Does the pattern match the side patterns? Can you post a close up picture of the panel insert with the hole...
  15. Interior lock box?

    I have one in my JT and JK. To me it’s a must have for doors on or off. Also had one in my Ram truck for 10 years before trade it in for the JT. You won’t be disappointed.
  16. Interior lock box?

    You are correct in your assumptions on all questions. Yes, there is double wall. Screw into the the inner wall inside the console only. I don’t think the screws would protrude to outer wall but to be sure I stopped tightening about a 1/8” before fully threaded. Still really happy with the safe...
  17. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I have the same one and didn’t lose any distance compared to the OEM antenna. Mine will pick up 70 miles away, then start to drop off. I did have to put some blue Loctite on the screw threads as the wind kept wobbling it loose.
  18. Flimsy Front Inner Fenders

    Thanks Alex and Jeep Cares Team for taking care of this for me. Installed under warranty today and these replacements are much thicker and more durable inner fenders. I appreciate it!
  19. Sound deadening

    I’m guessing about 25 lbs.
