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

[takeitsleazy]

Finally got the last major bits of my overlanding build finished yesterday so I'll throw in:
2020 JTR with just about every stock option available. 2.5” Icon lift with custom rear springs for all the added weight. 37” Toyo R/T’s on Black Rhino Madness Wheels:

Slightly modified factory steel bumper. Removed side wings, installed Warn Winch, added FrogFab shackle mounts

Added Alu-Cab Canopy and cargo slide

Mounted the Trail Kitchen (overlandkitchen.com) that came out of my JKUR

Driver's side cupboard filled with air equipment (haven't decided whether I want to mount the ARB dual compressor yet)

Passenger side cupboard has recovery gear

Storage cubes in the forward section of the cargo slide with chairs, water, etc. accessible forward of the cupboards. Not pictured is the Waterport that I just mounted on the Trail Rail

Added some perimeter lighting on both sides contolled by a Trigger 4 Plus that allows us to control lighting in the shell and perimeter from inside the RTT.

James Baroud RTT and Awning

There's a bunch of other minor details but those are the big nuggets.

Not a lot left that I want to do. Probably rock lights to complete the perimeter lighting theme.

That rear awning is nice; do you happen to know if their 270 awning would fit on a bed cap?

Sorry, I have no specific knowledge that it will but I have to assume that it would. Like my rear awning, it’s all a function of what you have to anchor it to. My AluCab cap has rails running along the top on both sides, which is what my awning brackets and riser bars are anchored to. I have to assume that any 270 awning brand would be able to attach to those rails with some bracket setup.

Something small.
Added little plastic covers to the inside door bolt head. Found em on ebay.

When I first saw this, I thought it was ridiculous! Now that I have my gladiator, the first thing I noticed when I opened the door was “I need to cover those hideous bolts!”

Cant find them on Amazon or eBay...

Do you have a link to these?

We took my JT to the funeral of my wife's mother Tuesday. My wife's cousin Ralph, a 65 year old farmer and lover of trucks and tractors saw my JT there and walked over to it and commented on how much he liked the blue, but then he said "you know what I really love about these?" and he pointed to the door hinges and exposed bolts and such" - I love these heavy-duty looking hinges and the bolts you can see. Makes them look tough and industrial".
In other words - he really likes the Jeep exposed bolts and screws and the heavy-looking hinges you can see.
And like he said "you can actually work on these things".

My wife's Aunt Norma was also there, she's in her 70s, and she was driving her 98 Wrangler Sport with the 4.0. I commented on it and she said "it's so fun and reliable" - it was her husband's before he died and she just can't get rid of it she likes it so much.

Anywho - while some are covering up bolts and screws - some, even older than me, love the look of the exposed parts.

Installed the Rugged ridge door sills.

Geaux Tigers, although I have to say I enjoyed last season a little more.

Sorry for the loss in your family. May your family find healing and peace as you celebrate their life.

Took the top off to go look at Christmas lights tonight

First mod! Rydonair stubby radio antenna (Christmas present from son) to replace the factory metal rod.

As posted on the Amazon reviews, the screw on the antenna and adapter had black paint on the threads, so I buffed those with steel wool for better electrical contact. That said, enjoying SiriuxXM so much I have yet to listen to AM-FM!
