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

[Lynn_F]

Looks great! I've got the same Arcus installed, just can't decide on a winch.... I'm ready to fill the hole ha

Yea it took me a while to decide but in the end I went with the cheaper option. I couldn't justify Warn money for the limited use I'll get out of it and the mid tier options with steel cables were too heavy. The older model X-Bull's had pretty decent reviews amd this newer model had a larger capacity with the synthetic rope...I'll be a guinea pig and try it out.

Had to remove panel on tailgate to access plug for power lock. At some point over past 2 weeks the plug popped out and I lost ability to lock and unlock tailgate with key FOB or toggles. When I opened the panel I found a detached plug. After plugging back in the power the tailgate now has power lock again.

Did you still have backup camera? I’ve been thinking about unplugging the power lock

Has anyone with a Rubicon used only the 1.0" front leveling kit? I am wondering if just the 1" would be enough. Leaving the rear stock. If so, please post pics.

I am going to install the Tera Flex 1.5" kit to help get my rake up since adding the bumper and winch. I was told the 1" is best if still running the factory bumper with no added weight.

I am thinking about adding the MOPAR steel bumper but no winch.

Ordered this bumper today and there was 10% off when I put it in the cart. Thought others might want to know too.

I won't believe it until I see the interior.

Thank you sir!

I finally had a little time to work on the RED dome lights/courtesy lights I've been longing for. The LED lights are extremely bright which is good as you know. I personally wanted red accent lights which are not an option when the LED's are not replaceable. I went with plan B.... I personally think turned out perfect.
3 good coats on dome
2 lighter coats on courtesy lights because they're not as bright LED's

Was the overhead assembly difficult to remove? I'm thinking about just nailpolishing mine in place.

Now that I know how how and where the clips are... easy peasy. Pull down the surrounding trim at the rear a little. Stick a long flathead screwdriver into the 2 metal sections of clips holding the dome light up. Pull down simultaneously and you'll figure it out. It's all pretty forgiving so I don't think you'll damage anything.

I really like this look. I have some gun metal gray vinyl left from wrapping my tacoma. I thought about doing this. Abs the the fender vent gills. A retro AMC badge would look cool too.

This is cool. Any info on if there are less bugs attracted to it?

Couldn't comment yes or no. I would think less, I recently seen an article there were less bugs around due to LEDS in the city. Could be BS as well

Did you use Mopar Part Number: 06511076AA nut/rivets for the lower skid plate bracket ? I did use this part with the Warn mounting plate on my installation and am not sure that I installed the nut/rivets properly.

Yes I did. Check out this Genright video

I mounted up a JCR Molle Panel with the 10 pound powertank and did a quick test of my 25 dollar truck tent.
