  1. Alu-Cab Gladiator Bed Cap

    You can use a module like this https://www.amazon.com/CURT-56196-2-to-3-Wire-Taillight-Converter/dp/B0046EKPHY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=trailer+light+3rd+brake+light+adapter&qid=1638541337&sr=8-3 to convert trailer style combined lighting to automotive style separate lighting and then use just the...
  2. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I'd look at using some truck tailgate light strips. Get ones that include reverse lighting and you will have red, white, amber available.
  3. Keeping rocks from wedging in gap between fender and body…

    Please don't use silicone on vehicle bodies. It makes for a giant pain in the rear if ever any paint work needs to be done. Also it will deteriorate over time in the UV and weather, then it will need to be redone but silicone doesn't even stick well to old silicone and complete removal is...
  4. WTF this just happened!

    Emissions warranty is govt regulated and I believe is 8 year 80,000 miles https://www.epa.gov/transportation-air-pollution-and-climate-change/frequent-questions-related-transportation-air
  5. Repairs can get EXPENSIVE

    It's likely depending on where it blends out. Talk to the body shop on the specifics. Also it's a great moment to address other issues it may have at a much lower cost since it's already in the shop and they are already working on it. Heck you might even be able to get the shop to give you a...
  6. Repairs can get EXPENSIVE

    Because it doesn't actually MATCH. If you paint just 1 panel and stop at the panel line it won't be an exact match to the adjacent panel. What happens is you blend the color across adjacent panels to basically fade them together and hide the difference. This is why so much needs to get...
  7. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Can you get us a photo showing the view on the head unit with the camera in that spot? Any idea how far off the lines are from reality in the new spot? Would this bracket also be suitable if say someone wanted to screw it to the door?
  8. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    The camera should be weatherproof on it's own as on the wrangler it's not even inside a tailgate. Don't use a pelican box, get a nema rated outdoor project box. You can get them in black even. It will have gasketed lid that attaches with a few screws. Then mount it at proper height to get...

    Yes as long as when a few cells are shaded you still have a high enough output voltage for the controller to charge. That is the other variable in the equation.
  10. Ares - Build Thread

    The shade performance is dependent upon the panels and the controller. Some panels don't have bypass diodes so partial shading renders them useless. Also if depending on the voltage of your panel if it falls too low for the controller due to shading then you get no charge. MPPT controllers...
  11. Is Selec-Trac worth trading in your 2020 Gladiator for a 2021?

    Too bad it can't be had on the diesel... A diesel Rubicon with the auto case would be epic.
  12. Camping with your Gladiator

    I remember seeing a similar setup of rig and jeep back in september at mill bridge tucked off in a wooded corner. Looked very similar in layout. I'm over in NY but we often camp PA in the Lancaster area.
  13. Camping with your Gladiator

    Is that by chance mill bridge village camp resort in Ronks, Pa?
  14. Anyone remove the hitch when wheeling?

    I found the recovery point on this one. Remove from hitch, place strap through hole in skid and the loop of the strap around the shank, then reinstall in hitch.
  15. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Good thing is that maximus-3 makes a sat radio antenna relocation kit for use with their roof racks on the JL and JT.
  16. Bed/Cab flex with camper?

    Use an accordion gasket like they use to connect typical pickup bed canopies to the cab.
  17. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    There are already wiring extension kits for the camera on the wrangler and from my research the connector is the same. it's actually a common fakra connector similar to what is used for satellite radio leads.
  18. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    My plan when I get mine is to build a mount to reuse the factory camera (or maybe plan around using a wrangler camera) mounted to the rear door and wired in. I plan to buy a replacement harness for the tailgate and use it to work from so it plugs into factory connections on the gladiator. I...
  19. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Thanks, looks like my plan is doable. Once I get my gladiator (waiting for sarge green) and the alu-cab i'll post up some build info.
  20. Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Could someone please measure how big the gap is from the rear of the truck back window to the front of the bed topper portion of the canopy camper? I'm hoping when I get my gladiator and canopy camper to make a small pass through between them by adding a hatch on the front of the canopy camper...
