Well this ended up happening

[Camaroboi13]

Fully understand some of the reasons… The biggest problem was that things swings back-and-forth on a regular basis, way too much action on the right corner of my eye and distraction when driving

If you’re old enough to remember what these are, same concept.

Nicely done, your JT looks great! Can you share a link to your rack from Amazon?

It appears the seller no longer has the rack I. Bought. This link is similar . You may need to look around a bit on Amazon . This one is very similar, but not the same seller.

Also interested in the Amazon rack...

Sorry see other post for link… I am very happy with rack … my seller no longer has listed when I checked purchase history on Amazon …. Similar unit… but I think I paid $558

If you are a Harley owner you are no stranger to deep rabbit holes. When I spend money on my Harley the Jeep gets mad. I bought a new set of pipes at thunder beach and now I need a new set for the jeep.

Finally got around to put my list together and links of spending too much money on dumb stuff and some functional. I mainly needed my Gladiator as a tow vehicle (toad) and beach rig. Hopefully all the links work if not let me know.

Some pic's and mockup of water tube

 

[Bakerboy]

Water tube project done
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/washing-shower-water-tank-tube.75057/#post-1224708

Installed a set of Kenwood KFC's
https://a.co/d/3L4XTv0
Wow what a difference they made and I have the Alpine system.

Also ran jumper wire for Tazer, but haven't installed the Tazer yet.
I made a tool to make installation easier. Willing to sell, but no lowball offers. I know what I have . Thanks to other who shared what a pain it was to get up in behind the dash to pull the clips.

Nice build!
I see your planning for a cover king headliner, I have less than a $100 into my headliner project, the black paint really changes the inside of the Jeep, in a good way. Acoustics improved a significant amount to boot. Probably 4 hours of time, with the templates already made for the panels.

 

[SD Rider]

Looks good! Very similar to the rack I installed...maybe just a different brand. I had to add a 4th bolt....couldn't handle an empty hole...

What type/brand of paint did you use? Looks nice!

Thanks. Krylon fusion satin black, the black strips of sound deadening I had from a past project.

This is cross posted.. but I tested foot well lights. I wanted blue ambient lights. This worked nice in the foot well area and tapping into existing light wire.
