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

[Bback58]

Gave the JT a face lift to kind of match my Willys JL and make it different than most everybody else. Bought a gloss black grill and painted the inserts to match the firecracker red. I'm happy with how it turned out.

And now I have a Jeep wall hanging for my garage.

I tested out all of my skid plates on John Bull yesterday.
And I finally proved that geometry correction brackets can get hit on big rocks.

Worth fabricating/welding some skid plates?

At least those brackets are replaceable and relatively cheap, whereas the factory mount is not.

I changed the Willys decal to look like the Mojave / Rubicon font. Not sure yet.

Installed the mounting blocks for Lange Coyote doors-off mirrors.

Installed a rear vision camera and electronic “mirror”. Have installed a pod on the back of my Gladiator which replaces the tub so had zero visibility. Turns on with the ignition and as well as displaying the rear camera, it can also show the front facing one on the back of the unit, has wireless CarPlay, GPS, collision and lane departure warnings and acts as a DVR for both cameras.

Also added a bonnet protector. Cheap item picked up online, but fits perfect and looks good.

Did you get the mirror local or online? Got a link?

Very happy with it. Forgot to mention that you can download any videos recorded onto it on your phone wirelessly.

Does it have inputs for third party front “trail” cameras?

Honestly, the ride quality is phenomenal with this upgrade. Pretty solid and definitely recommend!

Update:

• Installed the Adjustable Hellwig Rear Sway Bar for 3.5" lift
• Synergy Rear Sway Bar Links (Greaseable)

Hadn't seen / heard about theses mirrors until now. I've been eyeballing doors-off side mirrors, and I'm digging the clean design of these. Thanks for posting!

Any time. I know many have had luck with the ones where the stem threads into that same hole, but I didn’t want to do that each time. These give you either the flush Allen set scre you see in my picture, or a plastic head thumb screw so you don’t need tools. I’d prefer the flush look. It’s not quite as clean as not having those blocks, but they’re not bad. Their billet aluminum and they provide paint protection film.

The grab handle mount version is cheaper, but I didn’t want to use that spot on mine, just in case some switches end up there someday.

You'd probably like the mirror kit from CMM Offroad - grab handle mounted mirrors and you can add a ball mount for accessories. Pricey, but I love their products. I'll likely get them.

I can see myself at some point adding accessory switches to the grab handle in my case. I’m already maxed out on six switches, plus one device on a remote currently. So I want my grab handle free as I don’t want a huge switch bank on the dash. Thanks though.

Recovery boards mounted up on the rack

Made my own mounts for 10% of the cost of aftermarket

Added some MetalCloak gold bling. (Ignore my OEM spare I have yet to remove!)
