Ordered the DV8 bedside rock sliders.
https://dv8offroad.com/products/jeep-gladiator-bedside-sliders-srgl-01
To me the bedside corners are one of the most vunerable spots on the Gladiator.
I've heard mixed reviews about this company, but these seem to be the most sleak bedside protectors out there.
P.S. every time I login here, I end up spending at least $300.

How much do they estimate is the gain in HP/TQ? Very interested in how this turns out!
PCM is back! Four days total with shipping. They turned it around same day!
It will take a few days to get my tune, apparently my code is super new and wasn't in their database. So they got to build them from scratch.

Do you ever tow with your JT? I would be curious to know what is the verdict on the Livernois tune while towing. I'm especially interested in the impact on mpg on the 93 tune.

Feedback on the Livernois tune:
100% worth every penny. It drives so nice now. The added power isn't crazy noticable on the butt dyno, Livernois didn't install a turbocharger after all. But the driveability is night and day different. The transmission is quicker and has better logic. The added power helps prevent gear hunting and allows 8th gear to be much more usable.
I'm super happy with it.
Livernois's customer support was top notch as well.
People will hate this math, but it is the easiest way to think of the tune in context of the factory published numbers.
I gained 12.7% to the peak horsepower number of 285.
I gained 16.6% to the peak torque number of 260.
Thinking of manufacturer published crank numbers that gives us:
321 HP and 303 LB TQ

DV8 bedside sliders are on. I'll need to take measurements and adjust them later.
Zero instructions in the box or on their website. I had to kind of piece everything together to figure out which way things went.
It wasn't a hard install, but I did have to drop the exhaust to get the frame bracket installed. Speaking of, one of the bolts for the slider to the bracket fouls on the exhaust, so on the driver side I'm only running five out of six bolts, which is plenty.
