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

[Sportsbiz]

What do you think of them so far?

I really like them. No hood flutter (not that I ever had any), and these were far easier to install then the Amazon reviews let on. Only tip for installation is to either have a ball end or stubby allen wrench handy.

Thanks. They are on my to do list as well. I just don’t like the fact that any a-hole can pop my hood and have at it. What brand did you get? I was looking at these:

they are DV8 and are $118 on Amazon

Installed my take on onboard air. Modified a Smittybilt pump since I had it with an ARB digital inflator and quick connect hose. Took off a lot of the pieces of the Smittybilt that made it portable including the handle, guard, and repurposed parts of the base. Fashioned a mount and hose hanger out of aluminum stock. Also drilled thru the bed and mounted a quick connect 12V plug for future accessories.

Doing this again from the start I’d go with an ARB pump but this one works out well and I already had it. It was extra work to replace the hose due to Smittybilt using non-standard fittings. Had to tap out the manifold on the pump to fit a 1/4 NPT fitting. After some tense moments I was able to make it work. Happy with how it turned out.

I went with a more budget friendly option

Thanks. I’d be interested in hearing how they are working out after a month or so

Did my 5 tire rotation yesterday Trail Grapplers wearing very even.

What rack are using on the bed ? Is that a spare on it ? I've been waiting to see something like this. Excited for a reply

Installed a 2g rotopax water canister to match the 2g fuel canister...

Oh, and also moved to Evergreen, CO.

Where did you find that roof rack that is soft top compatible?

First jeep, first time doing any sort of wiring in a vehicle and first post.

slowly doing some things to the JT. First was installing the oracle bed lights.

I didn’t want to drill any holes in the bed and was able to find a small hole in the top rear above the bed rails that the wire fit in. Wired them up to Aux 3.
Next will be replacing the plastic bumper with a steel rubicon bumper. Will be doing that this weekend.

So you installed the Oracle Lighting cargo strip under the bed rails and hooked it up to the aux wiring under the hood? What was the path that you took for the wiring? How muc extra wiring di you have to buy?
