What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Bacstar]

Installed some rubicon take-off shocks and rear coils to my overland. I had the RC 2.5" lift on the fronts so I left those coils in. Installer said the fox shocks maybe a tad short but it should be good, but offroading could be a problem. He measured and rear was raised a full inch.

Almost a Rubicon

Alright... the good, the bad, and the ugly (?).

The good: Letters came today. Honestly think they’re pretty good quality. Maybe not “perfect” like the mass-produced Jeep letters currently on the tailgate, but I’m happy with the quality and look of the individual letters. I’m also happy with the overall look if the spacing would have been better to allow for the “p” to be more even with the “EE,” and still cover the holes, but I’m open to feedback and I’m not fully removing the old adhesive outlines from the other letters until I know for sure I want to keep them and not go back to the way it was. (Edit— I’ve removed them).

The bad: those holes in the tailgate are awful. They aren’t on any sort of level plane with each other, one is round, one is oblong, etc. And the shape of the new letters made it very difficult to cover the holes. I don’t think the one under the J is covered enough, to be honest. That’s my main hesitancy to keeping these on. The thin line at the bottom of the J had to cover the left hole in order to make the whole thing even close to centered over the camera, and it still may not be centered completely due to where that made me have to stick the p (haha, funny funny).

The ugly: maybe the whole thing? It looks slightly slanted, but using the level and based off of the old letters, it’s actually fairly square. May just be the different heights of the J/P. Also, the P is as far to the right as it can possibly be while still covering the oblong tailgate hole. I want comments, good or bad. Let me know what you all think. They’ve now been removed as I search for a different plan.

Ugly, start fresh. Just my opinion. Good luck on your decision.

Put in the Daystar 3/4 in rear spacer lift kit. Had some trouble getting the Springs out so i used the factory jack and a modified 2x4 on the bump stop to increase the space. The spring basically just fell out and then was super easy to reinstall after adding spacer in!

I did the exact same thing. Great minds think alike. Good luck with it.

I took it off the same day. Ordered a matte black piece to wrap the tailgate it that area side to side. Will keep it blank.

I really like the rack with spare on top in that model gladiator. Anything like that on the market that fits stock rails?

Yeah. They come out so it was tedious. Luckily I paid someone to do it.
