Thanks for taking the time for the nicely done video!

Not as expensive for all the parts to convert to proximity entry as I assumed it would be. I already have proximity entry on my JT, but was interested in the process, even good to visually see how to access the door internals.

I didn't watch the video, but am curious what the cost is on it

See the link in first post for part #s and prices. Going to cost +/- $500, I was assuming earlier around $1000.00 or more.

Mine was around $350. Well worth it.

So I swear I've read everything, but I might me missing something. If I've determined that I do have all the wiring locations populated, I only need the exterior handle and the VIN add/reflashing?

I did this to my wife's JL a couple days ago. It is well worth the work and parts are about $400 and a couple min. with JSCAN and it works!

now just need to figure out how to add a sensor to the tailgate for unlock without going to the front door.

That would be a neat option for a Gladiator! I'm sure it could be done. Funny, I was just talking to a coworker who also has a Gladiator about that today.

Where did you purchase your parts. I assume this list is for both doors. I think I will go cheep and just do the drivers door( she never lets me drive it anyways)
