That's normal, my 2025 Mojave X is exactly the same.

Thanks. I assumed as much. It should be the wire for the bumper lights.

I purchased it on Saturday and did not noticed it at the dealership.

Did you a find a way to cover it up?

Will Water/Rain damage the wire/connector?

It'll be fine as is. The connectors are water tight.

Did you a find a way to cover it up? No, it doesn't bother me and I'm pretty OCD.

Will Water/Rain damage the wire/connector? I doubt it, I haven't seen it discussed as an issue on any of the forums.

At what number did it stop bothering you? Ha

Also, what was the year and trim of the first one that looked like this?

And you bought a Gladiator!?!?!

You have a whole world of discoveries waiting for you, all kinds of things to make you twitch and trigger you.

(I’m a new Gladiator owner too, so that’s all in jest. But also not. )

I can’t wait

I don’t care about the electronics (that much). I just want the engine to run for several years and and ice-cold A/C.

I've had my Glady for two years now and I'm still not thinking this is all that funny ..... -
