  1. Paint the inside of a hard top?

    I went with flat black for mine. No primer, but the white soaked up a ton of paint. I can’t remember how many cans it took, but it was more than I expected. A little over a year later, it’s still holding up great.
  2. Steering wheel disassembly

    Yep, did them both at the same time.
  3. Paint the inside of a hard top?

    I used Krylon Fusion Flat Black. The plastic sucks up a lot of paint. It took several more cans than I expected. I don't remember exactly how many, but it was around seven or eight I think. Six months later, still no sign of wear.
  4. Gator Swamp Fox

    After three months of being on back order, my Fifteen52 Analog HD wheels finally came in!
  5. Gator Swamp Fox

    Finally time for some new shoes! I went with the Kenda Klever 601 35x10.5. Currently on stock Rubi rims. No lift, no leveling kit. They fit great and are super quiet. I can’t tell much of a difference in power, but I haven’t gotten it on the highway yet.
  6. Paint the inside of a hard top?

    I haven’t noticed a difference at all, and I’m in South Georgia where it’s plenty hot.
  7. Gator Swamp Fox

    American Adventure Labs has a really good video on how to take them apart without breaking anything.
  8. Gator Swamp Fox

    Honestly it wasn’t too bad at all. Once you have the inner fender removed, I do recommend using needle nose pliers on the clips instead of just trying to rip the fender off. There’s a small gap behind the body panel where if you look up, you can see the backs of the plastic clips. If you squeeze...
  9. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    I was the same way. The red and green just screamed Christmas. Minus the red stitching on the steering wheel and shifter, I completely “de-rubiconed” mine.
  10. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    I have. The gobi looks good, but it’s very tan compared to the gator. I’m not a huge fan of the shiny finish of the gobi. I struggled choosing between the two because I didn’t get to see any gladiators in person (I was living in Italy) before I ordered, but I’m glad I went with gator.
  11. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    https://www.rhinoadventuregear.com/products/rld-design-stainless-steel-truck-cap-jeep-gladiator-2020 I think it might be this one.

    Black paint job on the hardtop interior to keep with the gator and black theme.
  13. Gator Swamp Fox

    Final results from painting the top.
  14. Paint inside of freedom top

    Final results. I honestly don’t know why it doesn’t come black from the factory.
  15. Paint inside of freedom top

    I used Krylon Fusion. It took a surprising amount to get the paint to absorb. Each freedom panel took a full can. I think it was at least three cans for the back. From the feel of the texture, I think the headliners would still stick. My goal is to eventually get the headliners, so I may find...
  16. Paint inside of freedom top

    It took a lot of taping off, but I finished painting mine black today. I think it turned out pretty good.
  17. Gator Swamp Fox

    Your rig looks good! Yeah, they’re the Bartact OD Green and Black covers. They’re a slightly different shade than gator, but they match pretty well.
  18. Gator Swamp Fox

    Painted the interior of the hard top today. Rain is coming Tuesday, so we’ll see how it looks put together on Monday night.
  19. Paint the inside of a hard top?

    I just finished this up today. I used alcohol wipes to clean and prep. I also removed the latches and did a lot of taping off. It sucks up a lot of paint. Each freedom panel took a full can each and the back took three cans. It looks really good, but we’ll see how it holds up.
