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

[GotGladiator]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Everyone’s rigs are looking sharp. I built a DIY rack to hold my doors and added some Amazon special Made in China doors. I’m actually pretty impressed with the doors. For $600 they are solid and come with mirrors. My only complaint is the installation instructions could be a little better and more accurate, but otherwise, these doors are good to go. I wish I had gotten them sooner.

Oh my gosh. This is one of the reasons my wife doesn't want me to browse this website. I think I gotta have those...hehehe.

We had fun getting ready for a summer of adventure. GMRS radio install, front MF's, extend gutters. Fun installing this stuff.

Installed Bestop bed sliders. Wanted factory Rubicon but couldnt find any local and brand new were too expensive.

Completed the Mojave hood swap and installed the ARB Classic Deluxe bumper with Smittybilt Gen 3 10k winch. I am digging the light on the winch.

Now I just need to fill the square holes in the bumper, it is weird ARB left those unfinished....

The thought has also crossed my mind to make CAI plumbing from the hood scoop to factory airbox Too many projects.

Those are holes for using a hi lift

Looks sweet! Aren’t those holes in case tractor/hi-lift jack use?

Beat me to it! Lol!!

I kinda figured, I am still surprised they didn't make a removable cap. I am going to, I even thought about lights but I will keep it simple for now. The likely hood for me to need a hi-lift jack location is nil.

Oh I didn't know these existed, do you have to trim the rear bumper with these ones ?

If you have the stock plastic bumper, yes. I have the metal Rubicon bumper and its already cut out for them.

I watched some videos, and then did the Mopar trailer brake install. It all went pretty smoothly. My truck has the trailer tow package ADH, so it was fairly straight forward.

The only problem I encountered is related to the instructions showing to first disconnect the battery ground cables. After completing the install, and then reconnecting the grounds, the truck was beeping and dinging etc. I cycled the vehicle on/off and things seemed normal, except all my display preferences are gone and many of apps are missing such as front and rear backup cams, Sirius etc.

From some reading, I’m thinking the apps will come back by themselves with time….. There is also an under hood constant tone (beep) that is there with the key on, before starting. I don’t remember it being there before.. wondering if I blew a fuse unhooking things or if all this will correct with time??

Following is pic of where the factory hid my trailer plug in the left footwell.

Edit: went for supper and the apps are back….. still has that underhood beep, gotta do some research.

Just trying to keep everyone safe. It’s a shame as there are some cool doodads that could go there. I think a vinyl wrap or sticker would tear easily enough in that location.

Bought mine used and the dash trim was wrapped like in picture. Do not know brand or if it was a custom designed wrap.

Installed a new Factor 55 winch hook. Color is a little off but we will get the D rings re-powder coated.

Looks custom, as well as the red seats!

Another step in the Mojave-fying of my Sport S.

Mojave Orange rear tow hook. I still have the other side to do but I don’t have the M14 bolts.

For the curious...

Mojave Orange Tow Hooks - 68468059ABKIT (comes in pairs)
Mounting Bolts - 6508668AA (you'll need 2 per hook)

I realize I could have spent $13 on a rattle can of DupliColor but I needed a second hook anyways.
