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

[steffen707]

Added some lighting today. All from Amazon for around $60 total. Installation was pretty straightforward since I ordered the aux switches. But if you didn't, the included harness includes a switch, relay, fuse all integrated into the harness. Need to aim them, but I'm pretty happy with how the install turned out.

I'll answer for him. I installed replacement LED bulbs in my JL which would be no different than the JT and it's ridiculously easy. Lots of how to videos on YouTube also. Bought all of my replacement bulbs off of Amazon for maybe just a hair over $100. Made a huge difference.

Has anyone used Bolt on their Gladiator? I don't see it listed for the JT, only the JL, and the grill insert definitely doesn't match the Gladiator. If not, what other locking hood mechanisms would you suggest. Just looking at keeping things locked up under the hood after I get my Gladiator. https://www.boltlock.com/locks

I have a 2015 JKU of my own. My wife loves it (almost as much as I do) but she likes driving pick ups. So when told her we could sell her 2015 Silverado, and get her a Jeep truck that can tow our trailer, she was pumped. Bought it on 7/20/2019. Had it Rhino-lined Friday. Then, Saturday, my son and I drove to Redwood City, Ca. Purchased the take-off Rubi-Rails, Wheels/Falcon M/T Tires, Suspension/Fox Shocks, from John, who was a great example of what a good guy / Jeeper is. John sold the items at a very good price, possibly just to free up some garage space, and likely to keep his wife happy. I know my wife and I are happy, and are greatful. My son and I promptly put them on, right when we got home. Soon, we will swap the Rubi springs and wheels/tires over.

I emailed Bolt directly last week and asked the same question. Below is their response and hopefully they are actually working on it.

Response from Bolt Customer Service:
We are currently looking into if it will work or not, or what changes might need to be made, but we currently do not have an ETA on a Gladiator Hood Lock at this time.

Thanks much

Fitted a Roam front bumper, Spyderlock wheels and Interco Irok Radials. Having to cut some things so I can make it out of the garage .

I have a lower fender "chop" going on early next week to give me some more fender clearance.

Ummmm, ok. That is awesome looking. Soooo, that's the 4.5 Skyjacker lift with 37's? What is the height of cab at the exterior, aka garage doors clearance?
