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

[JonMN]

What is the cost on that, and time and difficulty for install? I'm in the land of Texas heat, and it gets hot, especially when it's hot, and that hot transfers a lot of heat, to the existing heat, making it really hot. I run the Sunrider 24/7 365 since early 2020 install.
K thx bye

List is $199--you just missed the July 4 sale. LINK TO PRODUCT. Installation was about 15 minutes--just two pieces of Velcro to put on the metal crosspieces visible on the Sunrider. They have a short video that I followed. It's supposed to be well insulated--not as big a factor here in Minnesota.

About the only think I'm not thrilled with is that the headliner fabric (the nice side) is reported by them to fade if exposed to the sun. They recommend flipping it over and having the less attractive side, which also has velcro exposed, for the summer and use the headliner side for the winter. Personally, I'm going with headliner and see if it fades or not.

I'm sure you won't need it, I'll send you my address.......

I have to find the darn thing first!!
I haven’t seen any evidence of an actual air compressor as of yet. Just the fuse holder with no fuses. SWMBO will be at work tomorrow so I’ll take over the driveway area that isn’t rock and dig around under there to figure out where those wires terminate.
it has the Aux panel but none of the switches activate anything. A cursory look didn’t reveal any air lines coming out of the differentials but I’ll take a more detailed look for plugs or if they used anything other than the standard steel woven air lines.
crossing my fingers that my Sport S turns into a Rubicon.

It was expensive, but I love the screen & uconnect 5 w/wifi carplay. It’s Infotainment’s 10.1 Uconnect retro for Pre-24.

Brand?

Edit:
NVM. I thought when you said "infotainment" you were just referencing it being a new infotainment system, didn't know it was a brand.

I believe it’s actually Mopar based, but a RAM screen size they’ve reprogrammed for Gladiators & Wranglers. It works like stock, with WiFi carplay, NAV, Integrated Mic’s, OffRoad pages, programming Mirror dimming, chimes for ParkSense & BSM, etc.

I’ve had issues with my back up camera that they are working on, but all other features have worked like my 24‘ wrangler Uconnect 5 system. If they fix the stock camera it’s a fantastic system.

What thats called is total for what I paid I should have got an arm rest in cloth . I am sure someone at Stellantis is sitting on it

The only reason we got it is because my wife hated the hydro blue one we went to pick up. And the silver one ended up having leather.

Pffffft, you wouldn't want the armrest anyway. The armrest doesn't even have cup holders...


(nobody tell him that there are cupholders in the armrest or he's gonna go to Toledo and take a crap on somebodies desk)

Recently put on the IAG EZsteps. I’m 6’2” and don’t really need them with 35’s, but my 5’2” wife loves them. Clean look. They feel durable. Time will tell on the hardware. I have a suspicion that I will be looking for new hardware before all is said and done.

I wish. That thing would be so fun. What are you asking?

It's a clean title but previous owner smacked a couple things with it. So it's definitely a driver-quality specimen and not exactly a show truck. Figured I'd list it for $30k or $32k and see if I get any bites.

How does it connect up under the front side of it? My skid connects at the back in a similar place. The front of mine actually connects to the bottom of the motor mount bolts and I get no vibes in the cab. Mine is also steel.

I went to leave for work yesterday and it was obvious right away that it was in fact rubbing somewhere, so I parked it until this morning.

Turned out to be the head of the bolt that holds what I believe are the trans cooler lines just barely making contact with the passenger side support bracket. I spaced the bracket down a smidge, loosened everything to scoot it as far forward as possible and that seemed to take care of the contact.

Got the Victory 4x4 slider put together and ready to put in. Got delivered in 3 days, free shipping and seems really well built. I wish the tray was aluminum just to shave a little weight, but I’m super happy with the product so far.

I’ve been looking at. sliders. I checked victory 4x4 but didn’t see gladiator specific. Did you go with a Tacoma one?

This is the one I purchased. I called the ahead of time to verify it worked in the Gladiator. It's about 20 pounds heavier than they have listed on the site. It was also 14 nuts short, but had a bunch of extras of other nuts and bolts I didn't need, so I had to make a run to the hardware store. That might not be how it typically goes, but that's my luck. The interior dimensions were what really sold me. More room than the other ones I was looking at.

Here is the install video.

That looks awesome!

Awesome!! I just watched that video. I’m looking for a half bed that I can bolt a Vevor truck box to lengthwise. Less stuff I have to tie down in the bed but still have access to it. Maybe install a Jerry can holder to the back end for a couple extra gallons. Just something about putting rotopax outside the vehicle in SoCal gives me a bad feeling.
