2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
2023 Sport S (because I wanted to add accessories and features myself and operate the windows/door locks from my seat), Manual shift:

1. full size bed mat, (already had factory Bedliner), installed rubber plugs in the bed holes including that giant tailgate hole.
2. ESS memory, so it remains in last chosen position...OFF!
3. Weathertech floor mats
4. neoprene seat covers front and back, consol cover, dash cover
5. center hood lock and locking fuel cap, both keyed to the fob key
6. Aux battery delete, just as soon as I learned what a pain the Aux Batt can be.
7. wind deflectors on all four windows
8. 10 hold down rings around the bed using already threaded holes. Thanks to a Forum member for the tip!
9. Remove large "JEEP" on tailgate and replace with small letter "Jeep" in lower left tailgate corner, covered the two holes with small Gladiator helmet trim bits
10. Anti-theft wheel nuts and spare tire crank anti theft device.

#5 and #10 because the truck sits in untended in a carport for long periods.
#4 I had diver down and honestly that big of a fan just IMO
#8 I was told individual pieces in your bed aren’t even close as strong as having any sort of bars in there. There’s a thread where people used normal steel like rods to tie things down! Only like $130ish on amazon
#5 and #10 sounds interesting got pics?

1. Line-X spray-in bedliner
2. Diamondback SE bed cover (ordered on Black Friday with rush shipping; should be here in a week or so)
3. Window tint

5. Rugged Ridge door sill guards
6. 67 Designs phone mount

Jeep is in storage in another state ‘til January so I cannot get a picture now. It is a hood Lock that rivet installs in existing holes in the center of the radiator support. Comes with the rivets. I had to buy a heavier rivet tool but can use one anyhow. Once installed you insert your key and it adjusts the tumblers, springs, whatever one time to your key. It won’t adjust a second time. The lock is sold by Bolt, the p/n is 7032303and sold by Amazon or Quadratech $105.29 when I bought it. Well worth it.

Anti theft nuts are another Mopar product,
p/n 83315711. Has 5 nuts and the special tool. The anti theft device that protects the spare is a short rod that has a special tool end that installs into the tube of the crank that lowers the spare. It mates with the original and makes it require the special tool to crank down the spare. I don’t recall where exactly bought it.

The fuel tank lock is a Mopar product that you build to fit your key. Comes with many springs and parts, most of which you will not even use. Take a look at a YouTube video by Quadratech of how to assemble and it is pretty easy. It is Mopar number 82215184AB. Says the dealer has to build it for you. That’s not true. I did it myself and you can too. Test it before you put it on!

There are some 12 to 14 threaded holes around the bed at about 4” below the top rail. They take something like a 5mm bolt. I bolted triangular shaped Stainless loops to each hole. Yes, I wouldn’t yank real hard on them but they work wonders for trips to the dump and hauling brush stacked as high as the cab. There’s a good thread here in the forum about it. Sure did a good job of covering the glaring lack of tied-downs in the bed without buying rails. In fact, I would guess these are the mounting holes for those rails.

The seat covers are woven, as is the console cover. I just carry a lot of dirt into the truck on my work pants so I wanted a durable, removable cover I could easily remove and wash and not grind dirt into the fabric seats. I ruined my 2002 Sonoma that way.
