What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

Works well. Yakima sells a tonneau adapter kit for the Overhaul rack that is marketed towards the Retrax XR and a few others but not the roll n lock, which i have. However, Roll N Lock says to trim the rubber 3/8” from the bottom so they sit nice and flush with the bed rails. So that’s what I did. The tonneau adapter kit from Yakima also include wider t slot bolts that mount to the rails of the tonneau to prevent the rails from bending and lifting when torqued. I guess we’ll see when i take the bed rack off in the fall.

Morphic wheels look sick on that rig! 35x12.50’s? Perfect with that lift.

Looks great! I need to know where you got that awning bracket from. I have a larger clamshell rtt and mounting an awning with the regular bracket is an issue.

Yeah, the bracket that comes with it doesn’t clear the stock bracket when open. So I had that made. It’s worked out beautifully. Very simple. Just square tubing with 45 degree cuts and welds, then a sheet metal plate with holes drilled. Super strong and I used 12 bolts in the T track on the awning. Here are some pictures that show it during build, and before/after mounting the awning. It was started and finished in about two hours including paint.

Added the Apex Power Steering Booster and Cooler, overall easy enough installation. I think mounting the cooler was the biggest pain the rear. Bled and filled the fluid, set pressure to middle of the green zone and first impression on a test drive is definitely, a 'Wow'. BIG difference in the handling of my 37's. Haven't done any aired down testing, but I'm expecting equally as good results..
I would definitely recommend from first impressions.

Only picture I took, was too busy being busy.
Power steering pump out of the vehicle and about to replace the valve. -

I used this Youtube video of the install for the most part, it's the only video I found with the newer cooler placement -

New to Jeeps and this site. Always wanted one, but just wasn’t to be. Just got Gladiator couple months ago and love it (even traded my pickup for a Willys to keep it company). Put flags, stars, and tonneau cover on so far, and found better looking wheels for it. What a blast to drive. Guess this means. I’m hooked

Visited my brother and SIL and installed my Sunrider. They’re a 4 Jeep family my nephew wasn’t there with his Gladiator.

Well. I was going to take the TJ for a little drive today to see where the snow level is and let the JT sit. But then this arrived. So…..

I am honestly pretty upset that FedEx chose to work today. But the gal only is working half a day….. I always wish people would take time
this day to enjoy the freedoms and fun we have here in the US thanks to so many brothers and sisters that didnt make it home. having a day off and having some fun is the best way, at least for me, to honor my friends and battles who didnt make it.

So, install day it is!
