Impressive “fender of fame” you earned the badges and looked gthat doing it!
Thanks very much I’m completely addicted. It’s more fun every day. I love working on it as much as wheeling it.

There's a reason my wife calls my 2022 JT Mojave "Olive"---because it takes all of my time and all of my money :).

Ordered every single option except the smokers group---to include the Manual transmission and half doors. Got a great deal purchasing from Travis Reynolds at Tri-City Jeep in NC.

Day 1 Front

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! D1R

Day 1 Rear. Note the shitty fit of the trifold tonneau sold by Jeep.

First day, in the motel parking lot, I took off the weak ass Jeep lettering on the tailgate.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Ltr Removal

Then added the stickers on the rear window

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Lettering Etc

Also added the straps I had made by one of the guys here on the forum

Once I got home the modifications really took off.

Except for three things I've done all the work myself. The three things are; Rhino Truck Bed Spray in the bed and on the fenders; CenterForce clutch install; and wiring from the battery for the ARB dual air compressor.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Bak4T Comp.JPG

This is the dual air compressor and also the Bak4 tonneau I installed.

A lot of the mods were quite easy.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Spinner

Extra large spinner on the left side of the steering wheel so turning and shifting can be done easily.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! ShdSpt

Shade support clips. Recommended by forum guys.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! RedLine Props

Red line Mojave hood props. The Mojave hood weighs a ton so these props are fantastic. Again recommended by you forum guys.

Some of the mods I did were a pain in the ass to install but not that hard.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Floor

Had to undo the seats, take out the carpet, and all this trim to install the Armorlite Flooring.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Floor Prot.JPG

The stealth LED lights required taking out the dash to do the wiring.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Stealth LED Installation1

But I love the result. Lights are not as good and the interior installation won't work for you tall guys. But I can use them in amber or white light.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! StealthLts


You can see the lights here. What I'm about to install in this picture is a Tread Dual CatBack Exhaust I spent $1200 on. Wife absolutely hated them and I too thought they were too loud so back to the stock exhaust it went.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! on then off pipes

Make an offer if you want to buy them from me. I'm just west of St Louis and you'll be responsible for shipping if you can't drive here.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! spareTprot

Bought this tire protector---absolute pain in the ass for an older guy to install as the tire is so heavy---about to get worse when I go to a 5th wheel and 35" Toyo tires.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! REV4

The BAK Revolver X4s tonneau cover wasn't bad, just hard to do by myself. Same for the BestStop Sunrider Top I put on. Love them both.

The RockSlide Engineering Gen 3 steps were really hard to do even with help.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! RckSld1

Note also the half doors.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! LoDR

LoD side panels behind the rear fenders were easy. The LoD bumper was pretty easy. The whole thing was horrible because it took me hours to take apart the stock plastic bumper to get to the sensors.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! Badland Winch

The LoD full width front bumper was not easy due to my wanting to use the stock skid plate and not reroute the shock reservoirs. Took it off and put it back on no less than three times. Then when I added the 12K winch I had to take it off twice to add spacers to get it to fit properly.

Current look. Wife unit is just a bonus for you guys.

Oh yeah. Please don't accuse me of being a Mall Crawler.

On the Oklahoma Trans America Trail. 600+ miles of off road.

Jeep Gladiator Transformation Tuesday: Show Us the Build Before-During-After! TAT Start

Start of the trail. Have to STRICTLY follow the LatLong readings. Hard to do all by yourself but well worth the occasional [?] backtracking.

Expect to get a couple more in Aug/Sept/Oct of this year during a 5k + trip taking a Brit with Parkinson's [Guy Deacon] around our northwest. As a Lieutenant Colonel he was my Executive Officer in Afghanistan. Simply amazing story on gofundme by looking up his name.
