I installed these on my 2020 JT when I got the Mopar winch plate for the Mopar steel bumper. These extensions come were part of the Mopar winch plate kit. They contain larger-than-standard crush cans come and account for the extra distance of the fairlead and (in my case) the Factor55...

@JWM PLAYS First off, looks AMAZING! A (kinda) technical question: How did you go about choosing those products? Is there anything in particular about the Gladiator that makes them a good fit for the task? It would be interesting to get your thoughts on what you like about the stuff...

Like @jeep1 , I went with the Artec full aluminum skid. I installed that before a Moab trip in the spring. After we got back, I crawled underneath and was glad that I had done so. One thing about the Artec, depending on your year/build, you may need some exhaust tweaks to get clearance on the...

Sold to a great forum member!

Cool. Makes total sense. Approximately similar design to the Artec. Although I think that the NVM outboard bracket (the bigger one, assuming that's the outboard) has an extra triangular part. Probably a notch stiffer as a result. (Mutters, "wonder why didn't they put that in the diagram??"...

Excellent... that one looks great. Just outta curiosity, how does that attach in the rear of the gas tank? I couldn't tell by looking at the diagrams. The Artec has a pair of brackets - each about 8" - that attach the rear gas tank skid to the JT.

Cool... similar design, but I think it appears to be a little different than the Artec that I got?? Which one did you pick? (Looks great btw)

Heh, I had almost tagged @ShadowsPapa in the my post to this thread because he's exactly the sort of poster who I would have expected to know the terminology for this. :) And yeah, these kind of bolts are all over our Jeeps (and garages). And you really appreciate how nice and easy they are...

I had to do this recently when installing the Artec aluminum skid system. It was one of the toughest parts of the job. I don’t recall doing anything special for getting the bolt out. Just a ton of penetrating oil and letting it sit overnight. And then grunting and banged knuckles. I didn’t...

From the videos, I've watched, installation looks like a Real Joy. Any trimming or knife work required on yours? Or just a bunch of wrangling? (And of course, just the challenge of having the right socket to get the seats out)

Quick q: Do you anticipate swapping the Sunrider seasonally? That is, taking it off in the winter and running the Freedom Panels.

Well, I probably could. That is, I kept the boxes from my new lift. So it's mostly a matter of re-packing and the actual shipping. And then there's the cost, which you'd need to pick up. (Sorry) It's either 3 or 5 boxes, depending on the shocks going going solo or two-per box. The box...

Located in NoVA; can meet up. $300 for the Take-off Mopar/OEM suspension from a 2020 (gas) Gladiator Rubicon. (As this crowd knows, diesel has different weight.) Package includes: 4x Fox Shocks 68341415AF / 68341383AF 4x Springs Driver front: 339AC Passenger front: 340AC Driver rear: 450AB...

For what it's worth: after I wrapped up the Artec install on my 2020 JTR, I had the same issue with clearance as described above. While I contemplated the "head and compress" option (pictured above) I preferred the "cut out ¾" option (as described by @zuki_dan above). But I'm sufficiently...

Whoops! I stand corrected. Looks good without the rails

I didn’t come across any that didn’t use some form of rail. I will note that BuiltRight offers their own rail, which is kinda like the Mopar Trail Rail, but a tad different.

Hilarious... updated literally an hour after I posted. Interesting that this happens after The Drive picks this up (which has a pretty broad readership and was likely getting a lot of traffic today after Tesla did that thing putting video games in the front seat, lol). An observant reader...

I stumbled across a couple of articles that are likely of interest to this crowd https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2021/12/02/new-forest-plan-could-lead-to-closure-of-colorados-black-bear-pass-the-most-dangerous-road-in-the-country...

Wow, that looks great... The matched bolts you picked make it look super-clean.

Cool idea to mount the e-track! Sounds like you did a super-beefy version of the molle nuts that Builtright sells https://www.builtrightind.com/collections/2020-jeep-gladiator/products/molle-nuts-threaded-molle-pals-fastener If you have a close-up picture of the e-track mount, that would be...
