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

[KDR83]

Installed Mopar bed rails and Rockymount Loball bike fork holders. Fiancé's 27.5 wheel medium bike fits, my 29 inch large bike sits on the tailgate. I'm fine with it as it allows me to throw stuff in under the bike.

Well this arrived today , will be installing it tomorrow. Ordered it from wrecklessmotorsports coupon code “upgrade” saves you 34.99. Has anyone install the falcon 2.2 steering stabilizer? Did you notice any difference?

Have it and love it. When on the 'firm' setting you can certainly tell it on local roads, but its great for the highway. I keep it on the medium most of the time unless I'm going to take a longer highway trip. The ability to flip it in about 10 seconds is super nice.

Your power steering system now has to fight against 3 dampeners. I would strongly advise against doing this. The stock stabilizer is sufficient for a properly aligned and tightened setup, larger tires included. That “firmer” feel is also felt by the stock steering system, which just isn’t designed to anticipate that resistance. That steering brace from synergy is probably something you should have if you plan to keep it this way.
There’s a reason no one else runs that setup. Good luck friend!

Thanks for the heads up and for looking out bud! I’ll pull the stock and try the dual set up.

Mopar 2” lift, 37 KO2s, Hauk badge, and KC and RC lights.

Did you have any issues taking off the jeep tailgate badge? I want to add the gladiator badge to mine too.

Finished up the RTT, now that the diamondback HD and FrontRunner bars are installed.

Note: annex has a floor that can be zipped in

I got rid of the amber corner markers, added some KC Gravity driving lights, covered the yellow logo with gray, and replaced the fog lights with a set of matching KC’s.

Bought the Badlands Apex 12000lb winch for my Rugged Ridge Spartan bumper, now the waiting game on everything to arrive. Badlands Apex was sold out at every Harbor Freight for 200 miles, but they let me have the discount and the manager let me use his employee discount put me out the door at $400 with the 2yr warranty. I'm happy, but I hate waiting on parts, hopefully they show up sooner than later

Totally agree, a good setup needs no stabilizer at all. I've driven my JT without the Stabilizer without any issues. I put it back on but feel like it drives just as good without it.

yes just installed it Thursday i ran it around town on hard and its a little tight for me I've got in on med now and it feels just like stock. im going on a trip to Arkansas later this week and will run it on hard on the hwy to see if it helps there.

I filled her up with plants, mulch and soil. It’s a truck, right??

i installed it in the morning, the ride seems to have a slight stiffer feel on medium vs stock. Also notice the steering wheel doesn’t move as it used to. Will see how it goes long term.

Installed a pair of KC Slimlite lights and the Mopar brackets for non-steel bumpers. It was a pain in the butt but I’m happy.

Got my delayed work bonus payout yesterday (3 months delayed) and my Bestop rebate showed up yesterday too. Finishing up my minor upgrades. Ordered a pair of S-V.4 LED bulbs to replace the stock halogens, an extra Launch Edition rim plus TPMS sensor to change out the stock steel spare so I can rotate the spare into normal tire rotations, and replacing the stock taillights with factory LED units. Now just have to wait a week or so for everything to ship. Thinking my wife wants to get running boards on her JL soon, so that'll be another purchase soon.

Are the Oracle strips bright enough to use if the OEM bed lights were removed? If it’s not too much trouble could you block the bed lights and get a night shot to see how the oracle strips light up the bed alone? Thx!
I’m thinking the bed light locations would be a good spot to put a 12v outlet panel.

I'll try to get a picture soon. But I can say that the light strips are very bright just by themselves and kinda "overpower" the factory bed lights.

Anyone download the recent update? It reset a bunch of stuff. My Control button is gone and cameras don’t work!
