Critique My Options List

Skip the engine block heater according to this post:

You can buy the cord from NAPA.

Jeep deletes the carpet mats when you get the all weather mats. If you want both, buy the carpet mats from someone in marketplace, or order the Mopor all-weather mats from Amazon.

Bedliner could not be ordered on my JTDR mid-November 2020. LineX will probably be my choice. They have a lifetime warranty but it cost more. They have a video where they pull out a factory liner from a Ford, I think it took them 20 minutes. They try to do the same to their liner and it took something like 20 minutes on just the tailgate and they had to use air chisel. If you can get the Mopar liner, that option will delay delivery as they spray the bed in Toledo.

Trail rail... read this thread:
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/diy-bedrail-system.27640/
I’m personally going with Post #15 in that thread because of the flexibility it offers.

The Bluetooth speaker isn’t integrated into the stereo, you cou find an excellent one from many other suppliers at way less.

This is exactly the type of info I was looking for! I’ll uncheck the floor mats and block heater boxes for sure.

The trail rail solution is legit. I had seen that thread but hadn’t read enough to see that post.

Thanks!

Yup - get yerself the remote start... that is one thing I wish I would've gotten. Previous trucks had it, and I now miss it.

3. The cargo management system is interesting, but only for the locking underseat storage. I can easily add some uni-strut or other system later, but haven't seen an aftermarket offering for the storage that is compelling.

The locakable, underseat storage box is useful. It does take up ALL the room under your backseats tho.

Also, the cargo package includes the 115V/400W plug in the bed and that MF'er is a pain to install aftermarket. If you have any interest in it at all, get it as a factory option.

The factory bedliner is nice. Prox doors are great. I didn't want them TBH, but they were a required "option" when I ordered mine and now I love having them. Jeep branded slush mats are cheaper on the aftermarket (from BAM or similar). The LEDs are also worth it IMO. One of my coworkers has a '21 with halogens and they just suuuuuck. I did aftermarket LEDs in my JK and I never found anything that are as as good as the factory lights in my Gladiator.
