I am crafty but not creative. I am curious of others that have fabricated their own enclosures for subwoofers and other speaker units and where they have placed them. Under seats and behind the back seat isn’t in my interest due to multiple reasons(2 actually, storage and air flow for the sub)...

Hi all, I recently had my starter die at 67k miles. After searching YouTube and the forums no one seems to have an easy way to replace it without removing wheel, liner, cat, and/or engine mount. Turns out it is possible but patience is necessary. My 2022 Mojave (with 6-speed) is stock except...

I had two harbor freight furniture dollies and some scrap wood laying around. Pretty basic bit works well and super easy to do build

This is my first time posting on a forum, so if this is posted in the wrong spot, let me know. I have been using an old 1"x7" wooden board as a bed separator and finally decided to spruce it up a bit. Here are some of the steps I took to make it. -Cut the board to 57 1/2", This made the...

So for a long time I’ve wondered if a camper shell from a first gen Tacoma with the 5 foot bed would fit a gladiator. The bed dimensions are basically identical but I’ve never see anyone do this. Well this past week I finally bit the bullet and picked one up off marketplace. As luck would have...

I’ve had @ORACLElights led light strips under the factory trail rail for years and I’m happy with those. However, they’re mostly covered by my molle panels, house battery, power tank, etc. I wanted more light in the middle of the bed. With my Diamondback Cover in place I can just run led light...

Historically, the term “dual battery” meant a second battery under the hood of the same type as the starting battery that can provide additional power for the winch, welders or anything else. The overlanding community has broadened the term. With DC to DC chargers you can now run N number of...

A "Purpose Built Build" Another day, another build. That's how it feels at the moment. We've just started another project, after our initial attempts were basically all thrown out the window after a while. Live and learn, this time it's all about purpose and goals. In a galaxy far far away...

Ok, so I've owned Jeeps (Wranglers and now a JT) for years and the one thing they have never had is a glovebox light. Not really a deal-breaker, but I travel a lot and often find my passengers fishing for items in the glovebox at night with their cell phone lights on so I decided to make my own...

Adding functionality to an already awesome product. I've wanted a bed rack or basket tied into the chase bar since it first arrived. The challenge was finding one that was the proper size and a solid mounting solution. I finally went with the Rhino Rack 37X56 and it's the perfect size. To...

Hello to all, My in-law needed a spacer lift/leveling kit installed and I figured I would snap a couple photos and do a mini write up. tools needed (minimum) 1 jack stand high enough to reach frame 1 floor jack 15mm socket/wrench 18mm socket AND wrench -lug key/tire iron for tire removal Jack...

I spent the last 3 days not buring my fingers with a heat gun... black 2020 Overland vinyl wrapped in 3m 2080 M217 matte metallic blue. And a haulk offroad tailgate emblem. This was the first thing I've ever wrapped other than my phone screen. I think it went pretty well. The hardest part was...

Hey guys, So I am wanting to install my amplifier under the passenger seat. I ran the wires there and have a plan in place. I wanted to make a mount with risers for the amplifier for 3 purposes. 1. To have something sturdy to affix the amp 2. Clear the floor mat 3. Clear the floor ac/heater...

We recently got the chance to do a full assembly and install of the RSi SmartCap Sport series on a Gladiator. Join @Tech Tim in the Northridge4x4 DIY Garage and see how easy it is to do yourself!

My install of a Wouxun KG-1000g radio in the gladiator. Hope this give some ideas to folks.

Figured I'd start this to keep a record of my build. Some of you may remember my first build, which worked great and we used the heck out of it. I wanted to get a small enclosed trailer for something more secure, weatherproof, and to make it easier to load/unload (or eliminate that part of it...

I am working my way through a few different canopy camper wedge opening, options. I'm having hard time, as what I want is not quite what is available. My top 4 are GoFast (light, fairly close to me), Vagabond Drifter (has all the options, but you pay for them...), Harper EDC (just found this...

If this alredy exists my apologies. I thought I found pieces of this whole thing but not exactly like this build. I wanted to build my own trail rail system so here's what I have. Hopefully this helps people who were in the same boat as me. I could have made this easier and just used M6 shoulder...

First, I am aware there are cheaper ways of doing this. Not to mention, through trial and error, I absolutely spent more then I needed. But below is the list of the parts I actually used and I am very happy with the results. I added a Milton valve so it can be used at any gas station air...
