I’ll put the link in here. No need to remove alternator… it’s an easy job to install the block heater.

I installed powerstep XL’s on my Gladiator JT just under a year ago. I really like them in every aspect, and have had zero problems.
The only negative experienced was the initial install wiring. It was quite tricky/tedious having to tap into the passenger footwell harness.
The new version of...
When I had paint protective film done on my fenders, the installers removed the factory film using a bit of heat.
They then did the whole fender and added a second layer on the area of the original piece.
I don’t believe the hood has an alarm/horn from factory???
I turned on the “hood open horn when locked” option with my Tazer, and agree it’s a great option.
My opinion, is you have a truck capable of towing, so it’s just “proper” to have the brake controller. It looks good and there’s a good chance you or the next owner will be glad it’s there at some point.
The sleeve I used for the loop portion was sourced from Northern Strands, a local industrial hose and cable supplier. I measured it, and it is actually 1.25” flattened diameter. Pretty sure they called it 3/4”…
The larger sleeve in the first pics is the included 3’ Warn sleeve which measures...
I finally did some work on my winch shackle… or shackle alternative I guess.
I removed the Warn factory hook and thimble from my ZeonS. I replaced it with a 10” length of 3/4” abrasion sleeve and spliced a closed loop. The abrasion sleeve prevented me from doing a proper fixed end locking...
Did the first engine oil change. That has to be the easiest oil and filter change I’ve ever done. I really like that oil filter housing. I don’t think I spilled a single drop of oil!
I would like the seats to be mounted
lower.
For those that need it higher, we have the height adjustment. I don’t think anybody runs out of height adjustment, but many run the seats as low as they can go.
Filled it with gas….. surprised the tripA info screen for fuel economy was bang on!

I saw one of these at my local Mercedes dealer back in ‘17 I think.
The first thing I noticed were the dropboxes. Amazing ground clearance. Reminded me of our self propelled swathers!
I got lucky, my dealer had one sitting with the full time 4wd, advanced safety, gorilla, LED, steel bumper, basically exactly what I wanted…. I took it as a sign and cancelled my TRX order which was likely never gonna arrive! On top of that he gave me 10% off the window sticker, which I...
