Bought my first jeep last year (2020 mojave) after having to give up the 2 vehicle life so i compromised between my 17 ram rebel and 09 sky redline

Don't think there will be any going back

First night in the garage

few pics of little things on the interior and added wheel specs above

knob additions, started with blue but didnt like the color transition so these are an orangey-red depending on the light.. makes things easier on the eyes

lastly hand wrapped the grab handles, went through a few different iterations of paracord before i found some the looked just right... all four corners done just need to finish up the big passenger grab handle

If you're like me, I don't think you'll miss the other two vehicles much.
The only problem with my Mojave is I can't get the smile off my face!😁

Where did you get the knob additions, looking for something to spruce up the interior of my overland, and nice rig, it's the little things that make a big difference

here is the link to amazon where i got them, it is all 4 covers (aluminum i believe, pretty nice and light. fit perfect) you will need to make sure you get the right version for your trim level, not sure but i think sport/s and overland have a different texture on the knob


Amazon.com: Voodonala Air Conditioner Headlight Switch Knob Trim for 2018-2021 Jeep Wrangler JL JLU Gladiator JT, Red Aluminum Alloy 4pcs: Industrial & Scientific


looks like they added orange now, i may have to check those out

added this little phone holder for now... works great, fits great

i have leather trimmed dash and it clamps down perfect, im not even using any of the tape to hold it in place

Amazon.com: CheroCar for Jeep Phone Holder Cellphone Mount for 2018-2020 Jeep Wrangler JL,Interior Accessories.



also installed a pedal commander, shout out to them and Aaron in support. I had one from a previous vehicle i was going to get rid of but a simple inquiry to their support and they sent me a software update that made it compatible with the gladiator :rock::rock:

So the question is Rival or Redline Tuning hood lift kit?

Edit: I just installed the Rival hood lift kit, it took 10 to 15 minutes and works great. $79 from Rivalusa site with free shipping.

got my ARC door hangers last week, finally stopped being lazy and got some 2x6s and get the doors hung up tonight... work great with my in-channel rain guards since these slide up into the window slot

Jeep Gladiator Mud Bunny - no idea what im doing 2021-05-18


sneak peak there in the corner are the tube doors, dont have them assembled yet, hopefully by the weekend (still have quite a few rainy days in a row left here in iowa)

also first time taking the doors off, had to take a quick drive around the cul-de-sac even if it is raining
Jeep Gladiator Mud Bunny - no idea what im doing 2021-05-18 (1)


hiding behind the jeep is a lange hoist a top, i have the frame assembled but havent gotten the crank and the pulleys mounted yet.. again hopefully i get to it this week and can get some additional photos up... lastly did buy the two piece sun shades for when the top is off, havent gotten to try them out yet either



looking at some door hinge pins/guides to replace the factory bolts to make swapping doors easier, probably just grab some amazon ones unless anyone has suggestions
