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

[Brad.Clarkston]

Put in DV8 Offroad's Front Door Pocket Molle Panels. Wasn't sure I was going to like them but there great I'll have to order the rears now. I cut out the full webbing, it looks way cleaner.

Added a pair of Roadshock Edge 6-LED floods but there not wired up yet. My local HF didn't have the wiring harness in stock during the tent sale so there on order.

Not convinced on having 4's or 6's on the top yet the 6's are pretty huge something to get used to.
Once the wiring harness comes in I have a Voswitch JL400 grab handle switch panel to put in to power the lights and a few future things.

Do the pocket molle panels interfere with the seat where the lumbar adjustment is located especially when the seat is up closer? And yes those 6's look huge where there are located. Do they obstruct your view at all when driving?

If you have the voswitch, you don’t need the wiring harness. Positive wires can be combined and run to one output on the voswitch power distribution panel under the hood. The negatives can go to a ground post or right to the battery. The voswitch is already fused, and you can swap the fuse out for your chosen size, if you want something smaller.

I finally took the time (2 years later) to install the Jeep Mopar performance wipers. Slightly modified the tubing where it comes through the cowl. Looked doomed from the start running it the way Mopar suggested in the instructions.

The widest part (the cup holder) is 2.5" that will hit the seat controls if you push the seat all the way forward or the second click back from that. I'm 5'7" and I can't drive with the seat any closer than 4 clicks on the bar control.

Appreciate the info. I am contemplating getting some type of molle panel in that area but not sure which one yet. Been looking though. I am the only one that drives my Gladiator and it's almost all the way back but I still don't want anything that interferes with the seat just in case.

Take a look at the slim version it's the exact same thing without the cup holder bend.

Yea I've been looking at those too. Thanks for the tip.

No just out of stock locally in KC the sale was $100 off the Badland Apex wenches so I picked up the 12k lb synthetic with remote and the two 6led floods.

EDIT: The 6LED Roadshock doesn't block anything while driving there just kinda large. I was planning on putting another pair on the front bumper so I'll probably get a set of 4LED and mount them on top to see what they look like. It's only 2k lumen less doubt that makes much difference.

I purchased a 54”-60” Great Day universal gun rack. I cut the ends off so the bar was 48” total in length. Then I measured and tapped two M6x1.00mm holes to be 40.5” apart on the bar. so that they will mount in factory made slotted holes on the plastic rear shroud for the soft top. It mounted solid.

The bolts don’t get in the way of installing or removing the rear corner pieces and the brackets and any mounted rifle are hidden away from view. It also doesn’t impede the soft top from resting back when open. I’m 5’11” and sitting in the back, I didn’t hit my head on the brackets or rifle. This mount is much better placed than clamped to the roll bar.

I'm looking to wire HF 4" road shocks to my Voswitch jl400 switch. could you share your version? I'm hoping to figure out a way to prevent both high and low from coming on at same time to prevent frying the lights. I would prefer to wire each light independent as I plan to have amber lens on one and run the other as white. thanks
Dave.
FYI Really like your rig! I'm happy w mine, just got it in April, 2020 with only 5000 miles. now has over 9000, adventure only. Great vehicle for SoCal mountains and desert touring.

here is the instructions and wiring diagram. Looks like you’ll just need a 3 position switch to make it happen like you want. Get a switch, lay it all out on your work table follow the diagram hook it to a 12V battery and test them out to insure it’s going the way you want them to. Don’t forget the more lights you put on the circuit the bigger the wire gauge will be needed. Hope this helps.

My friends at For Fox Sake Offroad and Metalworks were able to remove the broken bolt in my diff housing. A nut was welded onto it and it backed right out. So my JT is 100% again. It got a nice wash tonight and a spot check with Rustoleum Rust Reformer, in preparation for winter.

Glad it’s fixed.
