I was going to call it Gladitude, but after a few mishaps and unwanted mods on a wheeling trip, Im renaming it Gladiwampus. I got it straightened out for the most part.

I installed a Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper with the help of JT Mods‘s great video. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/rugged-ridge-arcus-bumper-warn-winch-upgrade.28902/ The hardest part was getting the factory bumper off and apart to get the fog lamps out. I also installed a...

I Installed some Rough Country lights. I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. They seem pretty bright. I mounted the switch to the steering wheel tilt lever for now. I wanted to put it in this blank spot (arrow), but I don’t think it will fit. I was going to wire it to one of the Aux...

Thanks! I haven't had much chance to use them yet. I wired them to aux switch 4. They don't come on automatically when I back up. And I keep forgetting to turn them on. I might rewire them.

I mounted my jack using some hood mounts from an old jeep. I'm a little concerned with he amount of weight that is piling up on the passenger side with the jack, gas cans, fuel tank...

Here a link to the D-rings I used. https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/0.75-inch-d-ring-shackle-black-isolators/red

Looks great! Yes it is the X20 - 12K. I had the same problem of the control box contacting the grill, so I installed some washers under the control box. I had to add longer machine screws. M5 x12 I think? It still contacts slightly and may mark the grill, but not enough to flex it.

Thanks again for the video. I watched it a few times. It helped a lot. I was able to fish the wires up through the square hole beside the battery under where the Aux wire bundle is using a coat hanger and pealing back the inner fender from underneath. I did not have to remove the air box. I...

Thanks for the video. I plan on installing mine soon. I will definitely be watching it a few times.

I made some rear bumper light mounts. I copied the idea from @Dorbritz and his project Gold Rush. I like how he made an additional black piece to fill the hole rather than just bolting up a flat plate. I used Lexan and Black Delrin. The cut isn’t very clean, but the face plate covers it up...

I installed some sliders from RockHard 4x4 (angled up). These things are rugged! Very well made. I love them. I needed to drill out a couple of the holes in the pinch seam, but they installed surprisingly easy considering the amount of mounting points that need to line up. The stock Rubi...

This is a great idea. I've been trying to think of a way to mount a canoe over my RTT. It sits on a JCR short rack. Putting/making another rack to go on the rear corners may be the solution.

That does sound like a good solution for moving around. I was going to extend my controller cable, but when I took apart the controller box there were more wires than I anticipated. There were like 6 or 8 wires all with crimped on connectors. i just closed it back up and said I'm not dealing...

I like ShadowsPapa's hoist, but for me garage floor space is at a premium. I like having something on the ceiling. One of the biggest problems I had was controlling it. If my set up were much bulkier, I would build an "H" frame and lift from 4 points instead of one. I would imagine lifting...

I did a write up on something I built for lifting my rack and tent off. Nothing fancy. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/hoist-to-lift-off-bed-rack-and-rtt.28418/

I made threaded plates for my rack. The current design uses carriage bolts that stick out of plates that slide into the rail. I wanted to be able to lift the rack straight up and off with the tent on it. The slots would not allow for this with the bolts sticking out. I had to cut the bolts...

My JT is my daily driver, so I wanted to be able to lift my tent and rack off together when I didn’t need it. I built a hoist in my garage to lift it off and still be able to lower it back on by myself. I had about 4 designs I was throwing around, but this was quick and cheap. I used the 880lb...

I Installed a Daystar 2” spacer lift/level kit. I figured it would be a good entry level lift for a rig that was more for overlanding than crawling. The price was right. I didn’t need an alignment when I was done. I would like to get a complete lift eventually. I am waiting for other...

Im in the lakes region. It would be great to run into you some time!
