Started today installing the AEV 2.5" lift I bought last weekend. Just finished up before dark with the front half, will tackle the back half tomorrow. First time dealing with geo relocation brackets and bit of a pisser. My tolerance of rolling around on the ground doing this type of stuff is waning.

I continue to do trips to Home Depot or Lowe’s and draw people watching me load unthinkable things in the back of the Gladiator. ? Also those little half height tailgate things at garbage. One broke today and it tried to take me out lol. For real though people sit and watch me load this thing all the time!

Those steps a good product? I weigh about 255# and was thinking of buying a stepstool so I can get stuff off the roof rack easier but those look like a good solution as well. And not having to carry a stepstool around.
The steps seem extremely solid. I’m 225# and don’t see any flex or movement at all.

How do you like those tinted Oracles? Looking into purchasing those.
Fitment is good and were extremely easy to install. Time will tell if they last. I’m definitely not getting rid of my factory lights just in case.

Make sure the cable is way back against the side, deep into those things. Too easy for the cable to pop back out and not be noticed. It should almost snap back into place, then it's actually resting against the fastener and the core of that guide.
There is someone making better replacements - might try those rather than going back to stock.

Thanks for the info - I was going to ask for the specifics!
No worries, glad I could contribute to the emptyness of your bank account ?
