We're not sure that would 50 state compliant or that the demand would be there. That would be a niche product of a niche product line. But I'll keep it active.
Understood that it may not be 50 state legal but a large portion of aftermarket products are listed as "off-road use only" and still produced and sold in large volumes on the open market. I have no doubt if Oracle conducted a survey that Gladiator owners would prefer NO red reflector out back at all.

As someone who has these, I actually like the reflector. And I’ve found that the current design is more than bright enough. If they were brighter, I think grocery store parking lot peeps would yell at me. :)

The wink and a nod of the "off-road use only" to skirt Federal and State vehicle specific laws is slowly fading away and is become more of a liability for aftermarket companies to engage in as the respective Federal agencies crack down on such things.

You’ve got three in your state. It’s a really fun free way to checklist your way around trails all over the country.

Reorganized the tools and recovery gear so I could access everything easily. It’s the same amount of stuff, but I’m using less bed footprint by going rigid and higher.

Jeeps are supposed to be fun, not useful. At least not since 1941. :)

I think there is a monster that lives under the center console. Seems to feed on keys, credit cards and loose change.
Sounds like a girlfriend or wife to me.

5 way tire rotation, and balance, in the driveway. I recently discovered a fantastic mobile tire guy in my area with really nice equipment. I rotated, he balanced. Truly amazing.

If you have this bumper here is the part number......... they're not cheap......but better then a rusty pile of shit

They come in a pack of 5. So 2 packs will do the bumper and the winch lead if you have one

My experience with ARP and their Black Oxide bolts is they always rust too.
