To begin, my sister and I survived without a single scratch. Beyond blessed to make it out alive + to the man above.

3 Teens, crossing the solid line, striking my Jeep nearly killed my sister & me on the freeway.

Gave the Mojave the 21-Gun Salute for the meantime.. Stripped her naked. (I'm trying to be positive. Hopefully this shit is fixable since these dumbasses don't know how to slow down and get off their damn phones.)

Grateful to be alive. Cheers to all of y'all tonight, hug your close ones a little tighter tonight.

Damn, right down the road from me, glad you are OK, the people driving around here are down right scary.

So grateful you and your sister made it out!

Hopefully your Gladi is restorable.

Got the ICECO fridge/freezer loaded on the pullout slider. Reposting the pics of the rivet nut hole drilling and installation. Super easy. Threw the rubber mat back in before screwing down the slider. A little added protection.

Installed the Lensolar 55w hood mounted solar power and charge controller. Still have to RTV the edges, but otherwise it's doing its job keeping my two batteries happy when I am away for extended days without driving it.

Thank you so much, sir!

You and your sister are both up right and breathing with no injuries. That what counts.

I was wondering if there's room in that small panel under the light switch - where the factory installs the switch for the bed 115v outlet/inverter.
Looks like that small panel pops out.
My only fear is my leg/knee hitting it when getting in or out as without the power steps on, I've turned the headlights on more than once with my leg.

On my 2022, I moved the 12v outlet to the glove box area. It's so very seldom used, very rarely, in fact, but there were times, so I moved it.

There is some room to install the switch. I installed my redarc brake controller switch there. Gotta be careful installing it as it’s a very tight fit, and it requires a 90 degree Ethernet cable. I don’t hit it often with my knee, but sometimes. It’s a nice spot for it though.

Wanted to post some updates on my gladiator I did recently. I put in some nice 7in Koito headlights a while back. With the 7in lights, I can fit some retro mesh stone guards. I bought some from a British sports car site, painted them black and installed them. Of course it messes up the headlights beam pattern, but hey, it’s all about the looks right?

I also swapped out the trail rated badge for a black one, and installed some fender decals. I have a set of Yokohama X-ATs coming in soon, which will really complete the look I’m going for.

Been trying to install my 115v cargo switch (last part of the install) but still searching for the cannon plug/wire harness, but I have been unable to find it with the light control panel and cargo power button blank out. I guess I will be pulling the dash apart to find that. JEEP wants you to pay them to do it, but it asses me up thinking about that!!

My Jeep is the base sport, so it did not come with an option for the 115V bed outlet. If you didn’t/couldn’t opt for it in the factory, there is no connector to find; it’s not in the wiring harness. I ended up installing my own inverter and a continuous solenoid, modified the connector circuit card and ran an extension cord out to my bed.

I’ve taken apart the dash twice (for this switch install and kicker speaker install). It’s a pain in the butt, but it is possible.

I like the placement. Prob what I'll do when I do mine
