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

[WILDHOBO]

Ugh! I didn't put clear on mine. I cleaned it up with soap and water, put 2 coats of Rust-Oleum flat black primer (white aluminum primer on the end caps) and 3 coats of the gator. Hope it holds up. Worst case, I found a "mushroom brown" powder coat that's almost a perfect match, I'll strip it and start over.

I used a self etching primer on my steel bumper, then mopar, then a parts store 2k clear. I suspect I chose incompatible products. I’m planning to strip it down to metal this summer and try again.

How do you like them on Mojave? I found out that Jeep doesn't make a full set that fits Mojave so I've ordered the WT ones.
I put WT on my wife's JLU 4xe after finding out the Jeep ones didn't fit it!
They look nice on there.....
In fact, I have to say the whole truck looks good!

Installation was a breeze and I think they look great. Just need to give her a wash and wait for a central PA rainy day to see if they keep the sides a little less of a mess.

Just an update for you and the others that commented @WILDHOBO @ShadowsPapa @Hootbro :

I got codes read yesterday and the only one I was rockin' was P00FD; so today I will be doing some sort of variant of the Aux Battery delete. Now I have a 2020 which means that my negative cable at the main battery terminal is not the same as the for 2021 and up, so I will be mindful of that. BUT I have been watching a lot of YT videos just to get in the right headspace and the majority of them talk about bringing the positive cable from the Aux Battery back up and landing it on the Main Battery positive terminal because there is still a powerwire that goes to the PCR(?). I also see a lot of guys not removing fuse F42 and it not being an issue.

Anyone want to weigh in on those two things?

EDIT: I’m guessing that the guys on YT that are bringing the Aux Batt Positive cable back up to the Main Positive are NOT removing fuse F42 since it sounds like F42 allows Aux Batt voltage sensing to the PCR.

EDIT pt2: F42 pulled, correct negative cable pulled at Main Batt. IBS disconnected from everything for 15 minutes. Reassembled, fired right up, no ESS warning light. Gonna drive the cr@p out of it this week and if no issues I will pull the Aux Batt and all of its wiring out next weekend! But it does appear my forward and reversing cameras don’t work now….

EDIT pt3: Cameras came back after a couple of ignition cycles.

These are the posts I always learn from, thanks for taking the time to document to this level of detail.

The BED SLIDERS, behind the tires, are part of the Mojave X package for 24 and 25 model year. Come with the factory steel bumper in that x package.

I should have taken a pic of the bug massacre on my windshield from our 200 mi round trip to the beach, through dairy and horse country.

Same thing happened to me last weekend on my 300+ mile drive home from Florida. What's interesting is the grill area was fairly clean. Guess they all took aim at the windshield.

Got my 4th windshield crack.

Swapped out the OBD power harness for my Wolfbox dashcam to a proper 12v switched accessory power harness. Now the system powers down when the Glad shuts down. Not sure why the OBD harness did not do the same thing, maybe I overlooked a menu setting.

Ha! They just sent me a message through Amazon. Now that's customer service!

It won’t be the last. I think I’m on the fifth, but have been lucky for the last year or so.

Yeah, been in Florida when love bugs was sooo bad you would have to pull over and get the ice scrapper just for starters , turn the windshield black.
