Would love to see your pics! First, make a copy of each photo. This way you protect your original image. Then open the photo copies in a photo editor and reduce the resolution. I usually go for 1920 as the largest dimension, with the other set automatically depending on aspect ratio. Then...

Thank you for that kind comment. I had not responded to this thread because my channel has a wide variety of rigs. I do have a several video series with a Gladiator, though. If anyone is interested, here is the teaser for each series (first one is a friend's Gladiator, I'm in my JK, other two...

I've replaced the windshield on my Wrangler about a dozen times over the past 13 years. From OKC to Anchorage, the most I ever paid was $205, totally out of pocket (no glass coverage offered in OK). That was in Anchorage. That one lasted five days before it had a silver dollar size bullseye...

Okay, I'm not going to deny that I clicked on this thread only because of that misspelling. ;-) Here, I hope, is some related info that may prove useful to you. I was concerned about the trail camera blockage installing lights on the steel OEM bumper. So, I mocked up a couple options for...

Some folks use heat; we did not. We were very careful and didn't have any problems. A couple are tricky because of the way they only partly unscrew then feel sort of odd, like you may have stripped the threads. You just have to pull them out.

Yeah, it looks a bit goofy just put down. However, though my 2007 JK has long since been modded to make it difficult to use the soft top, I did switch out tops for quite a few years before it became more difficult. And never once did I put the soft top down. However, many, many times I did...

FYI, the aux battery is a small motorcycle battery mounted underneath the main battery. It provides power in certain situations when its desirable to avoid draining the main battery--for example, while stopped at a light and the engine automatic stop-start engages. This is the aux battery...

What you want is the new soft-top from a fellow who bought a new Gladiator off the lot with dual tops. He didn't want the soft-top, and is likely a bit lower on price because he looks at it as a discount on his new vehicle. I paid $500 for mine back in 2008, which was the going rate for the...

Hauled a set of Gladiator wheels and a JK D44 front axle housing from OKC to Ogallala where I met a friend from Helena, MT to pass these goods to. He needs the wheels for snow tires, and the axle to replace on his JKR, which has a broken axle tube. Busted axle tube ... Replacement axle...

General Gladiator Topics. Sometimes also take a quick look at the Overlanding area.

Yes, there are other options. Heck, I could buy a full-blown, over-cab camper. But if you're going to consider those options, you may as well consider similar options for the JK. Like pulling out the rear seat and building in a galley and drawer setup. Or a full-blown over-cab camper. To be...

I have the hardtop version in my JK, and that Molle panel is designed to be compatible with the sPOD controller (it's a switch panel mounted above the mirror). The red arrow points at an opening that is necessary to allow access to the Freedom Top Panel release. Compared to the one in my JT...

I really, really like my Gladiator. It's a great driving truck with a much more powerful engine than my 2007 JKU. It rides nicer on the highway, the electronics are awesome. It's a Rubi vs the JK X (these days called a Sport). But, I can see no clear path to making it the overlanding rig...

Anywhere along the Georgia Traverse?

I have both the roll-up tonneau and premium softtop. The fabrics are identical ...

Oh yeah. Except not while actually driving. We had stopped after running the K-Trail in Oklahoma (no longer open, so don't bother asking where) and I was hurriedly setting up to shoot this photo ... I wear a full-brim hat (also a pony tail--don't dis me, man!) and holding the full frame...

Growing up in Chula Vista (south of San Diego, but still in the U.S.--barely) I really miss the beach. This is a great shot you've shared. Here are a few of mine, all shot along Rt 66 near OKC. Maybe I'll have to get out and shoot a few better ones ... And this one was shot at...

The issue for RealMcCoy is a bit more subtle, but similar to what I went through: Replacing the factory plastic bumper with a factory steel bumper. At first blush one might assume the skid plate is identical. But it isn't. You also need a new skid plate; the old one will not bolt up. And...

As JTzntz wrote above, you need a new skid plate. It reinforces the bumper, likely for the pulling forces caused by the winch. You really should replace and not just hack something into place with the old (plastic bumper) skid plate if you intend to use that winch.
