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

[Jeepmonster]

Added aluminum knob covers I bought on Amazon. The original finish was too shiny, so I sprayed a light coat of matte clear Rust-oleum. Now they're a closer match to the red factory dash. Hard to tell by the picture, but the matte finish reduced the gloss and shine.

Before:

After clear matt spray:

I did the light switch as well (not shown). For those interested, these are the ones I got, but there are plenty of them on Amazon and eBay.

For those who want different colors, they are out there - just have to look. You can also buy the silver ones and paint it with Dupli-color Metalcast, and finish it with the matte clear spray.

Installed the export mirrors and proximity door handles today. The wide angle mirrors are perfect for towing. Now just waiting on the mirror jumper wiring for the signals.

Did you ever get the jumper to work? Looking to add some myself!

That looks like an ingenious tool for helping to install wheels. Did you come up with that yourself? I Just installed a 1" spacer up front and decided to rotate the wheels while I was at it. My back can't handle these heavy ass wheels and tires anymore.

The rears are the stock 33" and the front are 37"? Massive difference!

You could also use a harbor freight vehicle dolly to jockey your wheels around.

Those are door hinge steps. They have a good amount of them around. Amazon, SmittyBilt, MetalCloak, etc. They help if you store anything on the roof for easy access.

You'd get a ticket here for parking there if some busy body saw it and ratted you out

OEM black grill. I love the look and reminds me of my 2014 willys jk. Install took me an hour since I had to pull the front bumper slightly to gain access to remove the lower attachments. Pita.
