JP's Super-Duper-Gladiator Build Thread

[JP1]

I love their product line when looking. Stupid question maybe, but the price listed, is that for one side only? or did you get both sides for the 400 and change?

both

I finally wired my 4 bumper lights in today, using 2 harnesses.

I wired them in using the OEM fogs as the switchs
why 2?
well, for my lightshow.
(number the 4 bumper lights 1-4 in a row)
Driver side controls 2/4 passenger side controls 1/3:

Don't know why the one looks yellow, it's the pic, not the light.

I also wired a LED flasher into my third brake light in the tailgate. They're obnoxious but I've done it to my last 4 vehicles and they do help keep folks off your ass.

Today is like a GOOD NEWS / BAD NEWS situation.

GOOD NEWS:
Thanks to @JeepCares I am getting my stupid-ass fender liners replaced with JL liners and getting a new Bluetooth speaker.

BAD NEWS:
The dealer fell behind and I am stuck in this Family-Truckster-2019 for another day...

I feel like @steffen707

LOL I can't believe they gave you the minivan... I would have insisted they give me a JLU... I certainly wouldn't have taken a NO for an answer haha You going soft on us @JP1

I hate you.
It was THE LAST thing they had, my choice was the station wagon or Uber. believe me when I say I still thought about it.

Thanks to @JeepCares
I FINALLY got my Super-Duper Gladiator back from the stupid South Florida dealer with NEW fender liners!
How is it even possible to take three damn days to replace two fender liners?

 

[JP1]

and since the Super-Duper Gladiator has an appointment today at Tom's Rhinoplasty for a little snip, I figured I should be nice last night.
So I hard wired the Dashcam and phone charger.

This pic is kinda cool, My Dashcam is 2 channel. Those 4 red lights are actually IR lights for the cabin camera. You don't see them. The screen powers down after 10 seconds.
