What I wish someone told me was that I need to adjust the visors so the trim panel can be lowered even further.

Having 2nd thoughts on drilling lol. 3m tape is very strong and it seems really sturdy with the 4 bolts on the other end.

This is true. The front bolts aren't really necessary. Just maybe some adhesive in case it wants to rattle.

I installed it this weekend with no drama.

3M makes some dang good stuff my solar panel on the hood is held on with just that. Prep work is the key. After I read this thread I thought the same thing if I was going to get the panel.

Man up and drill it, Rodger did all the home work, he posted in the hope that you Selfmodjt would read this and his life would have meaning! Just don’t be Rodger and drill into wires. Or you can just tape it and go through life realizing you took the whole meaning of life out of jeephambikepcpets life!.....Jack

Nope, im not one that follows directions. I make my own path, lol. Against the grain.

I did do one mod the very 1st day i got home with my gladiator. I took that ugly 4 wheel drive sticker off my rear.

Hell I don't need to screw stuff up on mine... The dealership service dept did that when replacing the steering gearbox, then gives me a damn appointment to fix that to then just look at it to tell me they are ordering the parts to repair it. ? Until this I had good service from them. I guess when your oil changes run out the service dept / parts dept. don't give a F### as much.

I was just thinking about adding a panel there for the future radio. glad I read thru all these pages.

Probably will still attempt it myself some day.

I just finished drilling mine a few days ago and took out the wire bundle as well. Don’t be me and put something in to backstop and protect the wire bundle. Thank goodness for this thread and Jimmy07 for the save on the fuse!
