  1. How much does your Gladiator weigh?

    And here I thought I made mine a bit fat at 5900 lbs! 7k plus is crazy.
  2. Spending the Income Tax Refund lol

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

    Yup, sound quality is awesome! A great improvement that looks factory. Also, thanks for posting the part numbers for the Metra adapters and how you did your cuts, your posts made my install MUCH easier.
  4. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I wouldn't recommend the cutting wheel. When I took out my Dremel with the plastic cutting bit, it was able to take care of the small section that I was having trouble with the knife, but it sprayed hot molten plastic everywhere, including my face ? Thankfully it was only a small section that...
  5. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I started at about 4:30 pm, finished around 6 pm, so 1.5-2.0 hours is how long it took me. Getting that knife hot with the torch made the cutting super easy. The Kicker dash speakers were 5 minutes, what took the longest was easily the cutting. I was being VERY careful with my butane torch and a...
  6. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Today I decided that I wanted to install my Alpine roll-bar speakers that have been sitting on my workbench. To do that meant that I had to cut up the stock speaker enclosure, since the original sound bar is molded to the speakers. Taking the speakers out was easy. Scored my cut...
  7. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I'll take "Things I never want to do again" for 500 dollars Alex. So 2 weeks ago, I installed a Rough Country Twin Air system underneath my passenger seat. Unfortunately, with that twin air snugged underneath the passenger seat, I was not able to run the rear floor mats, at least not without...
  8. I cut a giant hole in my tailgate! Reaper Off-Road Tailgate Box install and write-up.

    Not sure if you meant 3 weeks, but there's no signs of rusting. The box is aluminum, along with the tailgate, so no rust there to worry about. The hinges are the only things here that are steel, but they are painted/powdercoated. Combined with the seal around the Reaper box, and the seal from...
  9. 37s and Sport Fenders/Brakes?

    The snorkel uses the factory stock air filter, it actually attaches to the original intake, so no worries there. You can even use aftermarket drop in filters if you want. As for the bumpstops, I didn't change anything about my suspension. You gain about 4 inches of clearance to the top of the...
  10. 37s and Sport Fenders/Brakes?

    No worries! I don't mind questions. For your questions on the flares, I'm linking the write up I did about 2 years ago. Short version is they're a great price and worth it! $750 bucks and you get 4 fenders, rear liners (you need to source front liners, or trim your stock ones), and LED...
  11. 37s and Sport Fenders/Brakes?

    When I went from 35's to 37's, I had a set of chopped Sport flares. For me the fitment was too tight, my tires were very obviously going to hit the outer edge of the fender. Now a big part of that is the fact that I have aftermarket wheels with more offset. You MIGHT have better luck on the...
  12. I Think Installing the Catch Can Broke Something!

    What brand of catch can did you get? Thinking of adding one to my JT.
  13. V6 vs V6 - Pics

    The one on the right is an e-torque equipped V6. That's a belt driven "motor generator unit". Replaces the alternator functionally, and charges the 48 volt mild hybrid battery.
  14. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Home depot! Found them near the lumber. Just used a step bit to make the lower hole larger on the 1.5 inch section, and used a punch pinned to mark and drill a new hole for the longer 2 inch section to get the antenna aligned better further towards the center so that it wasn't hanging over the...
  15. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Ditto, did the same thing, saw it on here one day and I found it the easiest and so far best solution. Bracket was 3 dollars :CWL:. If only all jobs could be this quick and easy!
  16. Silly Question - 37s in Bed?

    I just sold a set of 5 37x12.5r18's, packed them in the bed. You'll need to load the 5th at the front, I was not able to cram 4 side by side at the front of the bed because of the wheel wells. Setting the 4 across at the rear of the bed was the trick. Didn't even need to remove my traction...
  17. Motobilt vs Rugged Ridge Build Quality

    I second @THE SANDALORIAN. It's basically do you want somthing out of a catalog or somthing that is a bit more hand built. Motobilt is small company (you can even see the people who make it happen on their webpage!) vs Rugged Ridge which is much more mass market, at least as mass market as you...
  18. Show me your bed/tail stripes!

    I can see that you already have fender vent decals, so why not add a complementary decal that fills in the negative space around the taillight and tailgate? I did that to mine and I feel like it was that finishing touch that I was missing. Matches the rest of the decals.
  19. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    LED tail lights, take 2! Swapped the WinJets for some Oracle Flush mounts, keeping hitting the old LED housings with my knee every time I used the steps. It would be nice if they were diffused LED's instead of the "bead" style like my old ones, and I'll miss the sequential signals, but...
  20. Oracle Flush Mount Tail Lights Issues

    @ORACLElights Just got the replacements in, looks like that did the trick. These are lighting up the way that they should. Thanks! If you ever come out with a V2 set with the more modern "diffused" LED strip and sequential signals, I'll be interested!
