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

[PhantomChameleon]

Looks awesome. How is the view through the back window when driving? Did the cap block it?

I have one also, and it honestly didn't block the rear view as much as I thought it might. Its definitely more limited, don't get me wrong...but it's not that bad!

I did order my JT with the blind spot detectors knowing that I wanted a topper down the road, and those are pretty nice to have - the Jeep is not so large that you can't see with the topper on it but its nice to have that extra set of sensors for the sides.

@Kevin_D is correct. The store closest to me advertises this. Some stores sell the SIP22 keys and have the machine to do this. Their website allows you to enter your rig and it will return store that offer this service. Prices vary.

Turns out my local Ace Hardware can cut these keys, but you must buy the blank from them. Blanks start at $80.

How does it sound. From a level of better than stock to audiophile?

Also, finished up my stereo overhaul with a complete Focal/Audio Control system. Posted a bunch of pics in the Electronics forum:

Clearly, Ace isn’t the place “with the helpful hardware folks” they would like you to think it is. Usually when you point that out to them and that you can take your $20 to someone else who is a bit. More helpful, they realize how stupid it is to turn away business.

All I can say is it sounds great to me - way better than stock. These Focals handle power well and it cranks with the top off running down the road. As far as audiophile, I don't have any reference to judge. Have not done any tuning on it other than with my own ears, so I am sure there are improvements that could be made with the proper meters. There are higher end Focals available at a price so this is certainly not top of the line, but it does what I wanted and then some.

Good to know. I think the speakers in the JT are one of the few areas it is lacking.

Actually did this Sunday morning. Met up with JohnnyUtah and purchased his Mohave wheels and Falken Wildpeak MTs. I think they make the truck look so much better than the stock Sports S silver wheels.
Next up, leveling kit (once I make up my mind on which to order). Any suggestions on this will be greatly appreciated.
Before and after shots.

Good looking Gladiator! I like the look of the Mojave wheels. What steps do you have? I need a set for my wife and want to make sure the steps are positioned well to assist with getting into the jeep for her.

Going in for regear Monday. Got my motobilt diff covers back from powder coat in anticipation. Gator diffs to match body color

Put the rings on.

Thank you, I appreciate that alot. The Mojave wheels add to it well. I have the N-Fab J1980T side steps. They work well for me. Dont extend out as much as some, gives me enough step to appease me.
