I noticed no one has posted this yet...Just curious what you guys think when you see this mod on the road.:movember:
There are many similar designs, and you can choose from various guns and cannons...

I see this and immediately know that this person regularly says "I wanted to join up, but I knew I'd punch a Drill Sergeant if they got in my face".

Ever wonder how you could make a shit ton of racket, scratch and dent the piss out of your hood and drop your rig on your foot while getting knocked the F out. Get one of those bad boys and a hood mount for it. ?
Yep, 1 slip and it gets real expensive. It looks cool but there are other issues, too. It disrupts windflow and can cause erratic windshield washer spray and it also, on some versions, completely block the windshield washer spray.

Its not a MOD but that frigging Key Fob from the factory is ridiculous!!
I have had FCA/Stellantis vehicles since 2013 and you are NOT kidding. That shape may fit in the little slot between the seats, but that is all its good for. Big square unlike all the others rounded smaller even Rams and with that big button, the key keeps coming out on its own in my pocket, gonna stab me.

I hate it.

Oh, apparently now $695... Sounds like PURE profit. I saw a nice portable Bose at Costco on sale for like 129 that sounded fantastic. I'm surprised Jeep doesn't do like Ram and have cosmetic packages for 3,000 bucks like the "Black out" package. It is pure cosmetic.

I got my Gladiator Freedom Edition and it has a not even mentioned the equivalent of the Ram "Blackout" package on a Granite Crystal Gladiator. On a ram they would have stuck me for it to the tune of almost 3K. I'm surprised.
Oh the cosmetic "blackout" package on Rams is actually called the "Night Edition" and costs 2545 in 2024. They dropped the price like 400 bucks. https://www.ramtrucks.com/bmo.ram_1...APA,PXJ,X8,ERG,DFT,DMC,Z6B,TUM,WBB,E1,UAA,23Z

Like I said, for free on my Granite Crystal Gladiator I got essentially a "night edition" package no charge...including the black trail rated badge. The ONLY useful thing in the package is the limited slip diff. The rest is all cosmetic and you get it in other packages or level two...

I thought only the recoiless rifle did that.
