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

[chorky]

Added rain guards. I'm one of those drivers that likes to have my windows open just a bit. Past vehicles always had the type of rain guards that got stuck to the door frame over the windows. My current Gladiator has a wrap, and I didn't want to stick anything to that. These in-channel rain guards are perfect:, they are very subtle and the level of transparency is great.

Before:

After:

How much did that wrap cost? I thought about one to protect the paint but couldn't find anyone nearby to even entertain a quote. Best I got was a full PPE which was about 2K.

Unfortunately, I don't know. The wrap was already on it when I purchased it.

Nice! How about a link?

This particular type is "ALAVENTE Side Window Deflector Rain Guards in-Channel", got it off of Amazon, just copy those keywords in the Amazon search bar; the concern I had with the other manufacturers I saw was that their product was so thin that people were complaining the rain guards were brittle. These Alavente are thick enough where cracking is not a concern I have for regular use.

Installed new wheels, tires, and upgraded the rear brakes to Powerstop z36. Had already done the fronts recently, but the rears took longer to ship. I’m loving the new wheels. Here’s some before and after pics. I couldn’t be happier.

Can't go wrong w bronze wheels.

Not as glamorous but I gave my undercarriage a good scrubbing.

Do the JL ones fit the JT? I don't see anything other than wrangler guards

This is my exact order.

Nothing special, just added a Mopar brake controller. I like the simplicity of its appearance

I was getting glare from my ditch lights on the white hood. Even when pointed outward. I created glare guards out of plastic, painted them black to test out theory. I have seen them on off road racing buggies and trucks, couldn't find something mass produced. Got creative. I will now make a set out of either sheet metal or a slightly heavier plastic. Drove last night on some totally dark back roads and they worked great. No to very little glare.

Really nice idea. Good work.

Yes... Much better.

I did the same, except I got lucky and got a very nice set with the hardware for free

I installed a set of Fifteen52 Patrol HD in Bronze. I think the yellow matches with Bronze pretty well. Running factory Wildpeak 33’s for now towing my 5000# camper works well on 33’s .

Great ide, would love to hear if there is noticeable wind noise or not.
How did you make those?
