Thank you so much!!! I plan on buying the Hauk gladiator emblem and just throwing it over the 2 holes
Buy some braided fishing line and you should not have any breakage. Tie a piece between the dowels as shown and you are ready to go. Use a hair dryer on the emblem and surrounding area until warm to the touch.

Gladiator Rubicon AKA 'Sky Walker'
Moving the cb wire to get less noise. New wheels and tires, 38”, lifted, custom bumper and winch to be added in a week or two. Almost ready for a trip mid January to West Branch trails (fun run before sno blind event). The photo is a bit dramatic but what the heck :)

I agree. Love the look and functionality of it. Just not ready to drill into my Gladiator yet...wish they had a way to use pre-existing holes/bolts.

Installed my Tazer Mini and calibrated my speedometer. Turns out if you have your phone plugged in and are using Waze via CarPlay, Waze picks up your speed from the JT speedometer (not via GPS). Could not figure out why everyone was driving so slow... as soon as I unplugged the phone and saw my GPS speed on Waze, I realized the error of my “Waze”.

All good now. Plus implemented a few other options from the Tazer and installed my fire extinguisher.

I installed the Blue Ox 1142 Flat Tow Baseplate on my Rubicon. Not as easy as I was led to believe, but went ok. Only real issue was the trimming of the steel skid plate, which I chose not to attempt myself. I think I’m going to take it to a machine shop to trim off about 2 1/2” from each end on a band saw.

Here's mine so far...

The day I picked it up, Sport S with Max Tow, bed liner, Sting Gray.

Added a phone mount. I moved over my ProClipUSA phone mount from my Ram and picked up the Gladiator vehicle mount.

Then I ordered the Extang Trifecta 2.0 tonneau cover. I've had these covers on my previous 4 trucks and I love them. Great quality, looks and functionality.

I picked up a set of Rubicon AT take-offs and mounted them on Pro Comp Series 51 Steel Wheels.

Then I picked up a set of Rubicon Rock Rail take offs.

Installing the CB Radio is more involved and costly than I had anticipated. I like your approach and will follow your lead! Can you give me a part number for the antenna and the firestik ring mount? I'll probably bring it to my dealer to install. THANKS! George Bethlehem Pa
I spent more than I want to admit installing my CB, although I did get some deals along the way. The expensive part was the Rugged Ridge CB/AM/FM Antenna Mount Kit. It's pricey, but it's a clean install that allows you to combine the CB and Radio antenna. The problem with the kit that others complain about is the part that the antenna screws into and then makes a 90 degree turn into the vehicle. I saw several reports of that part breaking, so I decided to do a Firestik Fire Ring mount instead. I also bought black cap screws and hardware to clean up the install.

Inside, I got a great deal on a NOS Cobra WX ST on Ebay. I've used this radio in my past Jeeps and like how it can be removed and hidden when not in use. I picked up the "Areyourshop 75WXST CB Radio Mic Mount Holder Passenger Grab Bar For Wrangler JL 2018+" mount off Amazon and modified it to accommodate 2 microphones. I plan to add a Ham radio soon and wanted the ability to hang both mics when I want to. I basically took a piece of aluminum bar and added an extension with a second mic hook, so it's easily removable if I find I only use one radio at a time.

And finally, I picked up a full size spare. I did get a matched rim, but didn't bother with the TPMS. I've run Jeeps long enough to know a full size spare is a necessity, but I can live with a flashing light long enough to get the damaged tire fixed or replaced.

Things I'm planning out next are my Ham radio setup, stereo upgrade, small spacer lift and a DIY bed drawer system that will allow me to carry my on board air setup all the time.

Warm, not too hot or you'll burn the paint!
