They are Hooke Road . Cheap on Ebay. They mounted up pretty easy and the led signal lights don't set off any codes. Pretty happy with them. They gave me plenty of clearance and have lasted about 4 years now.

Thank you! Definitely there is a market for that and that's something we should definitely discuss with the rest of the team! You'll definitely be the first to know when we make that release!

No not really. Rebel Offroad down here in So Cal quoted me, I think, $2200 before tax. Then throw in $400 worth of Currie Diff Covers and he did ok.

Thank you! Definitely makes me feel better, I thought it was such a good deal I jumped on it.. With how prices on everything in life have been skyrocketing I was expecting considerably more.

Managed to get a couple things done this Saturday. Hoping for some more progress tomorrow, but I will be helping a coworker with his square body Chevy build so I dunno if that'll happen. Mosquitos were relentless today and if its the same tomorrow ill be happy to use the excuse to not be working on the Jeep anyways! Hopefully the horde isnt at his house as he lives like 40 miles from me..
Did the break in oil change today. I used Royal Purple, I don't necessarily think its worth it for this application, but I've always used it and it was on sale anyways. Emailed in the pictures to Exodus to maintain my warranty with them.

Also got some Harbor Freight lights hooked up. I personally don't mind HF. Don't get me wrong they were trash ten years ago, but their products have really been getting a lot better! I don't care to support Warn, as I've mentioned I have friends that are either work there or did previously and its just not a company I care to give my money to... And honestly I've never seen a Harbor Freight winch fail, if its good enough for Matts Offroad Recovery then its good enough for me. As far as these lights I would also have to say good enough for me. Time will tell if they last, but for sure they help a lot on these Texas highways with no lighting! I of course wont be using them when anyone else is on the road, not sure on the legalities of that here but in Oregon its a pretty hefty ticket.
I wired them into the factory fog light harness. The button already being there is super convenient and the wires are the same gauge so I'm assuming the amperage is sufficient for the lights. Surely we all know what they say about assuming, but if it causes me any issues I'll just re wire them into my auxiliary panel. I have seen a few others do the same wiring wise, I am definitely not the first so it should be fine.

Got my RK 1.5" coils in on Saturday and finally had a chance to swap them out today. These replaced my terraflex levelling kit and I am definitely much happier with them. The only downside for the coils on my end is that they lifted the truck way more then what RK labels them as. I ended up with 3" of lift when I was only wanting 2-2.5" at the most. I'm hoping they will settle... Also got the new Falcon SP2.0 shocks installed. I am running them on the softest setting which still feels kinda stiff, but it does drive very nice on the road. The bracket that mounts to the LCA I bent up a bit so that at full droop the brake lines and wire have a bit of slack in them. I may end up doing a 1" spacer on the rear coils.. Which I really really dont want to do.. I guess Ill decide throughout the next week. If the front end settles down to 2.5" Ill be happy but that could take a long time in my experience.

Hey guys, decided to put the last nail in the coffin of this build. Due to electrical issues the last couple months, the clutch issues and cam issues I decided to sell this since my Comanche with the LS swap is complete. Thanks for the follows and info, I hope everyone here has better luck and enjoys their Gladiator more then I did! Heres a link to the Comanche build thread if anyone wants to see it.
