Any time.Thanks Dan.
My friend does yellow as her accent with her sarge green wrangler. It looks great. I do safety orange on my gladiator. Pics attached. If you're looking for a daily driver tire I'd say Nitto recon grappler. You start messing with tons of lights get ready for strange problems that will ghost you. Also do your research, there are so many junk light companies selling to jeepers. I love, morimoto, Baja designs, and for taillights combat off-road. Stay away from Oracle, and quake. Stinger and ds18 are not great for audio either but they target jeepers. Switch pros sells a nice switch panel for aux needs.I got a Sarge Green, love this thing so far put about 4k miles out it. It was a Pre Certed Owned, so I have 100k or till Feb 2031 bumper to bumper warranty, right now 19k total miles on it! (Also came with the factory Mudder Tires, Halogen Lights)
First thing, I cant decide which accent color, should I do bronze or the cluster instrument panel "safety orange". Otherwise this is my list of what I want to do:
1.) LED HeadLights all around - So I was leaning on AlphaRex over Dynamic because I dont have AUX switches to utilize Dynamics or I would.
2.) How could I install factory AUX switches, I dont want a TAZER so would I have to do it at a dealer, or what are alterntive AUX Switches?
3.) Second set of wheels and Tires that are better for PAVEMENT/Daily driving, vrs offroad Mudders that I have currently (thinking Bronze wheels, but what wheels/tires)
4.)Would like to upgrade anything Engine/PowerTrain/Steering/Shock - throw me your recommendations.
5.)Upgrade bumpers from the plastic factory to something that is stronger. (kind of like ArTec - think I could get them to color it or cheaper if I do it myself?)
6.) Would like to keep stock radio but upgrade speakers and probably throw in an Amp - do have the sub box. - Recommendations
7.) Do want a roll bar - basically like in the retro poster picture I threw, could I get that colord as well?
8.) I do want some lights, are KC good or....etc. But again I dont have aux switches =(
Lastly I do want some decals/graphics I was leaning on either retro stripping like in the poster, or I want to do some Mountains/Forests. My plan is to keep this Jeep till it dies/rest of my life. As its now my "Truck/Jeep". =)
**Added* - I plan to use the Rig more as a Truck (Its not daily commuter I have a Charger for that). So basically camping - and Road trips is my goal with the rig. But I probably will go to a Jeep show or outing - I like to be Flamboyant. I also have that "DINK" $.

You can get a tonneau cover even with a bed bar, but it's likely you would need to get one custom made. Obviously it depends how the bar mounts. I would say most any good boat upholstery shop would be able to make one up.Thanks, ya I saw the Trigger switches, I would be more inclined if they were hardwired. I think Im going to go OEM switches, but we see. Another random question is there like a bimini soft top for the bed, or cargo net I guess and you hook it to the loops or a cargo rack? I ask this as if I get a roll/light bar that means I can get a tonneau cover anymore right?
If you have ice on your roads, nittos are pretty rough. I’d at least consider Mickey Thomson Baja boss A/T’s. Quiet on road and 3 peak winter rated. Also killer off road.Thanks for the reco on Nitto, I almost have all the things I want done finished - So hoping to get it posted soon, Ive been slacking. I did DECIDE ORANGE for main accent color. So now I want more photos of your orange BRUCE! Esp the inside what do you have going on. =P
I bet they’ll let you use two methods if you call them.I have decided to get the Diode - Elite LED Headlights for 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator
I have a Xmas GiftCard for $1000, I dont think the total will be $1000 or less and I dont think I can split payments, or can I, or anyone have a code for me to save like 8%? haha
Also these should be a great upgrade and I dont need any extra buttons right? I have stock Halogen, I just will have to wire things if I want the features but I can control all the extra features of these lights by turning the light control wheel in dash right?
PS are these the way to go to upgrade lights to LED in fenders? https://www.morimotohid.com/morimot...vwcpdL1qEH9spavesl778iIr3HRUJtJjtURy57aFlmw1d
