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

[PuRGE]

Let there be light!

Installed the Oracle LED strips to the bed. Tapped them into the factory bed light on each side & stuck them under and to the far side of my Rebel Off-Road trail rails. Had to cut them a bit as they were a wee bit long. During the day, you can see the strips while, at night, you can’t see the diodes under the trail rails. Not a huge deal at all, especially since I’ll be getting the JCR Bed Side MOLLE panels soon which will hide the diodes but still provide a great deal of light.

Looks awesome man!

Is that the Mopar bed cover?

It is not. Its' the Access Lite Rider cover. I need to add a small 1/8-1/4" weather stripping the length of the rail between the 2 rack towers to make it seal tight again.

It's a bit of a pain to use, but IMO it is what it is. I knew that going in an I rarely use the tonneau anyway. At best, I fold back the first 12" to allow for an easier angled carry of dimensional lumber.

Made up some headliners. Couldn't justify the $300-500 for hot heads or mopar's kit.

Total cost $45 in material. Still need to cut out a section for the rear, but have plenty of material left to do it.

Got to installing my ACE rock sliders.

Came out nice and solid...only issue was there was not enough spacing on the drivers side between the Ace rock rails and my rubicon ones....

I used some rubber spacers to solve that.

As per Ace the rubicon rails have some adjustment in them also if you have that issue.

Nice work, can you tell how and what you used?

This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F333H26/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and 1/4" pink foam board insulation from the orange box.


Foam is tricky in terms of gluing, but wood glue and hot glue work without melting the foam. The headliner is simply glued and wrapped around the edges. I used velcro to attach it to the freedom panel so I could remove it if needed for vacuuming, adding patches, etc.

Much appreciated, I, like you just can't seem to justify the cost of hot heads or other products. Thanks!

Well I’d say I did a lot to my gladiator today......

I downsized from a 2011 F150 with a 6.5' box with a topper, so between the massive back seat I had and all of the room in the bed, I lost a lot of storage space for the junk I usually keep in my truck. I didn't want to shell out the money for a decked system and wanted something I could put in and take out in about 10 minutes, so I made a storage system out of plywood. I don't have a locking system on it now, but it butts up to the tailgate so the drawers won't open with it closed and locked. The only thing holding it in the truck are two turnbuckles up front, but it is pretty heavy loaded, so it isn't going anywhere. The one side folds open and flat in the event I have something bigger that I want to fit under the tonneau cover. On the inside of the box I have a few strips of plastic that the drawers slide on. So far it works pretty well.

Haha, I have always kept all of my hats in my truck.

Got in a storage piece another forum member recommended from wish.

WOW

Thing fits perfectly doesn’t even need double sided tape. All i did was add felt to the tray edge on both sides (not pictured) incase a leg touches it. $22 shipped from wish. Worth every penny imo.

 

[SloW8]

Can you tell me where that bit is from? Fits that attachment perfectly, low profile...

Yep, its the one from the factory top and door removal tool kit. The long torx bit for the door stay things also works really well in it.
