That very first NECESSARY mod

[RudeJeepin]

For everyone that said they installed seat jackers: I am 6'5" and am worried that increasing the height of the seat will put my head too close to the ceiling. I currently lower my seat down and put it all the way back.(Slide not recline) Anyone have any trouble like that?

Not saying it’s trouble, but, at 6’2” I wish the was more room period. Head room and leg room. That said, I’m not ready to drop $90k on a full sized truck, that will get pinstriped to hell, first time off road

I'm not near as tall as you guys, but I didn't like the Seat Jackers.
I liked the angle that it put the base cushion at. But I felt like my head was too close to the roof and soundbar. So I took it out.
I ended up doing a DIY seat slammer. Lowering the rear of the seat. Got the angle and it lowered my seat overall.
If I was you guys, I'd look into the Seat Slammers. They should work out good for you.

Also, I'm not sure who makes it, but there is a slider extension that allows the seat to slider further rearward.

The stock wheels are +44 offset right?

I don't know.

I believe all the stock Aluminum wheels are +44 offset. With exception being the XR Beadlock style wheels.

Tazer, tazer, tazer. From sway bar disconnect at any speed, even in 2wd to the Jeep remembering that I want my traction control and start/stop off (ever hit a little mud, try to throttle through it, and have the dumb ass Jeep cut all power, exactly what you'd want if your goal was getting stuck), to front only locker or locker in 2wd if I feel like doing donuts. Necessary to make the Jeep do Jeep stuff.

Turn traction control off and manual shift. It'll stay off.

Except for when your hands are too big to get the cables out. My JScan stuff has been sitting in my garage for almost 2 years now untouched.

they sell wire extenders too so you only have to do it once.

I ordered one before i even took delivery of my Gadiator I put it on day one .... by day three it was back in a box, The reception was so bad, I even tried another brand ... I've just come to deal with it

i have had zero issues with mine but i don't use FM radio. I have had a lifetime XM account for like 20 years. Shit i don't even use that anymore. I just use my apple music and listen to what i want when i want. The antenna slapping around in teh car wash is awful. I think the XM antenna is on the speaker bar.

Until you restart the Jeep... and that only solves 1 of the nanny issues.

If OP is getting a 2024+, it's not an issue as there is no external antenna.

Desert Does It has seat slammers as well. Either way you get a lift on the front of the seat which puts me in a much more comfortable driving position!

I guess if I'm crawling or trying to get out of mud, that would technically be the only times where I would need it off. And in that case, I wouldn't have a reason to shut off and restart the Jeep.

2020 Gladiator, purchased new in late 2019. My first 2 mods, done at the same time, were the Sunrider top and a hard tri-fold bed cover. Followed real quick by Bartack seat covers. Later came a bumper for my old Warn M8, and an RLD cap. No lift, nothing “fancy”.

i waited almost a year before adding a Tazer and wish I hadn’t. It does a lot of things but for me, getting rid of the 3 honks every time I get out to open or shut a gate, that alone was worth the cost. I also waited a too long, only a couple weeks, to install mud flaps. In two weeks the door hinges and rear fenders were already peppered with rock chips

could you please share which mud flaps you bought?

thank you

I went with Toyo AT3’s 35/11.5/17

no regear necessary right?

After owning mine since 2021 I'd say mud flaps are an essential mod. I didn't get any and after driving on gravel fire roads my door hinges and fender flares are hammered.

Not at all. It drives great!
