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

[Willys2Gladiator]

Did this install last weekend and the only real tips I can give you are:

1. The hardest part of the install by far is getting the trim removed, go slow and use a trim panel tool and they all come off eventually.
2. Install the back floor first, it will lay under the front flooring under the seats and it makes life easier if it is in-place when you do the front.
3. Get the plug holes lined up and the plugs installed before you put the trim back on, I had to work mine a bit to get them to line-up properly especially on the driver's side front.
4. When you install the plugs make sure the plug goes deep enough to grab the sheet metal and not just the Armorlite floor. Three of mine went in no problem, the fourth I had to work to get it in-place and secured correctly.
5. Unless you have much tougher hands than me, I would wear gloves when you are manipulating the floor. I did not and my hands got pretty beat up.

Not sure if any of this is helpful, but I would allocate a couple of hours and I think you'll be really happy with the results, I am.

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. Really looking forward to this project.

Love the look and versatility of it. Wanted a carpet delete from factory but now I'm glad I couldn't for this looks much better that what Jeep would have offered if it was actually an option.

Can't wait for no damn carpet to keep clean!!!!

This was last Thursday before my Death Valley trip, but installed a WaterPort Day Tank to my Leitner rack. It required the drop down plate to clear my Rotopax, but well worth it as its placement is perfect near my "kitchen" set up at camp.

Those look like they were made for it! Do you think they will fit under a tonneau cover?

Easily . The yeti is about an inch taller than the pelicans . Its handy to have stuff stay dry. Because the tonneau doesnt seal no matter which one you have.

Looks good. You must be getting ready for a rack. I did the same thing last week, using unistrut. I need to finish mine by adding anchor points. I think I have figured what I am going to use, Erickson 59170 flip anchor ring. I know the 5000lb is overkill but I believe it will look good and the rings will be able to be positioned along the unistrut. Happy Jeepin!

Swapped out the silver/black trail rated badge for my newly arrived grey/black badge. Originally was going with all black but, wanted to have a visible but subdued badge. This fits the ticket perfectly.
Swap was effortless. If anyone is planning on deleting the badge permanently, be advised there is an alignment hole behind the badge.
