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

[NewGladdyOWNR]

Eventually I am going to make a build thread with better pictures, but I added some cheap Auxbeam flood lights to the Yakima rack for some extra camping lights. They are ran to my Garmin powerswitch.

If you got the tow package, yes, it's already wired into the round plug. I couldn't get the factory brake controller when I ordered my '22, got it a lot cheaper later, only concession is that it replaces the 12V plug, BUT......it's a T harness so technically you can relocate the 12V socket. I haven't done it just yet, I know there's enough room, just get itchy thinking about drilling a hole that big into my trusty steed.

I ran the outlet over to inside the glove box and just zip tied it to the inside top

We're a Jeep family, so it was my wife's JLU that got a new aux battery, and a ton of new clips upon reassembly. Later today, a track bar relocation bracket going in on my JT.

Put on the Fox ATS stabilizer today, my hardware was 1/2” unlike a lot of videos online said 13mm. Also I had to use the supplied bolt, I had one of the bolts with the long square shank on it. Wasn’t too bad on the ground, had no real issues with the stock one but like the adjustability of this one.

Ran all my rock light wires through the frame. Finally cleaning up the "temporary" install from 3 years ago.

I need to do that as well. At least 2 years ago.

The wires were starting to sag in the quick zip-tie spots we used just so we could see what they looked like. Figured it was about time.

Mine as well. There always seems to be something more important to work on. Oh well. I really just need to pull fenders and go over everything. When I recently replaced my rear bumper I spent more time adding wire loom than actually replacing the bumper.

Oof! I've got a new bumper sitting here. I don't even want to think about all the wiring I'm going to need to do with that.

I pulled it day one, then sat there and did cabling. Then put the new one on the next day. It would have faster had I bought the “Christmas tree” zip ties in advance. If rear, you need several more than a dozen to really make it clean.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. It's the front, but I definitely need to order some Christmas tree zip ties first.

That fog light harness alone has a bunch of them. So much easier to clip the Oem ones and be careful with wires than try to pull them out. I cut them and let them drip out the back of the holes.

Finally got around to chasing a noise I've been hearing from the front end for a few weeks whenever I hit a bump or pothole. Ended up being a slightly loose sway bar disconnect.

Added the front track bar relocation bracket. A spring lift in about a month, if all goes as planned.
