I added a BedRug today. I love the clean look and especially love the padded bottom, its really keeps the knees happy.

How difficult was it to reinstall the bed rails? Did you have to get longer bolts? I have the bedbug already and will be adding the rails. Any tip? Or just punch a hole in the rug and bolt it down?

Not too hard to install, just take your time placing the Velcro. Longer bolts for the front tie downs are not necessary.

This is one of my favorite mods I've done on any Jeep. It's awesome for watching a drive-in movie. My kids throw blankets and pillows in there.

It also does fine drying out when it gets wet, but I have a good tonneau cover that keeps 99% of the water out of it.

I got my Gladiator last week and here is my first mod. It's not much, but I found door lock covers on the interwebs. The site said I should get the set of 6 for a 2024 Gladiator, but I only needed 4. I think there is a design change on the 2024 tailgate latch from a door-like hoop to a single post. Again, I learned something new about my new toy. They are simple, inexpensive little covers, but I think they clean up the door frame a bit.

Bought them for my Wrangler and I couldn't think of a more useless mod, but who cares they are cheap.

First oil change at 2,831 miles.

I know I have two free oil changes through the dealership, but I have never been one to trust the dealership with basic stuff I could do myself.

Especially on a vehicle that is probably the easiest oil change of all, this side of a Tesla. LOL.

Ive got some of these too. I did it for more of the doors off appearance. I dont like shiny or bright gray stuffs.

What Dan said, no additional hardware needed. I used an ice pick then reamed that hole with a scratch awl then a larger punch. Its a bit time consuming to figure out the holes and such but it wasnt hard. The only place I had an issue was the trail rail mount at the very end of the rail, it didnt quite line up with that rear hole due to the thickness of the carpet pushing it out a bit more. I just drilled away some of the plastic and elongated the hole and zipped in the bolts. It was a fun mod for sure!
