What have you MADE for your Gladiator?

[Papa Jawa]

This is great! Would you be willing to post a "how to" thread for the rest of us?

Any links to full pics of your Mojave? What I saw looked great!

I have made a few things. Some easy some a little complicated
But all you see on my gladiator is all home made
I even did all the inside myself as well
Just wanted to make it my own style really.
If you look at the cost of the parts you can buy off the internet it just seemed like highway robbery.
So I made them myself.
The front a rear bumpers, the grill which is interchangeable
The screen cowl, the wing mirror guards.
I had a lot of fun doing it too.
If anyone saw the pics of the slide in I built that was all home made too. I have taken it off for now as it was a little too heavy for my comfort, so I have lowered it and changed the design a little.( Probably be finished in a couple of months as I had to stop due to knee surgery)

If anyone lives near me
South Florida I would be willing share how to do and even help construct the ideas they might have for their gladiator,
Look forward to seeing all the ideas people have done

Holy batrap there! Well done on the fab skills there.

I have the plastic wonder bumper, so I made a driving light mount out of a piece of non-punched Unistrut.

 

[Sleighman]

Made these light mounts that also incorporate antenna provisions. The main forward lamps are below the hood line so no scatter on the hood, and the lights are far enough outboard so as not to interfere with the windshield folding.

Awsome job. Well thought out.

A trailer hitch skid and a cb mount, pics of the skid only as I think the antenna will be redone

Some of you guys make me sick. Sick to look at my lowly self in the mirror.

All I have done is waxed & didn't even finish that.
But I wash it after every day having fun in the woods. . . . . doubt if that counts.

GOOD GRIEF

I'm going on a year of ownership and I've washed it twice. I'm considering doing it again.

@trust how are the results of the hitch ramp? I've been thinking about making one also. I haven't hit it a LOT, but have here and there.

After rear seat delete I designed and built this rear seat platform. Both sides flip up/open to allow access to the under factory under seat boxes...

Built my own rack which allows the factory tonneau cover to be rolled up/open...

Relax chilli, ill let you wash mine for me, you can wax the shiney half. And ill let you use a tool or two if you want....

I'm ashamed to say that I havent tested it out yet. I got home from moab Utah last fall and had drug the hitch and lower rear frame control arm mounts quite badly so I ordered up some skids for the mounts and built the skid but haven't gone out since. I'm going back up 1 April and will report back after I try it out in The red dirt. Of course I also am up 2" too and likely won't do anything to challenging but ill find a ledge or 10 to try it on...

I hit all those parts as well, and put guards on some of the shock/control arm perches, have a couple more to install. I'm stock height except for a 3/4" leveling kit up front. Our closest playground is tight and not friendly to a long vehicle. It was great for my JK though.

I'm going to detail the interior of mine today. I'm inspired. Also it cooled off for one day, oddly, so I can do it before it hits 80-some tomorrow again.

It's downright pedestrian compared to most of these projects, but I did the L-Track bed rails mod.

Did you have to drill holes in the L-Track for this?

Looking at the spacing, I'm guessing he had to drill & countersink the holes.

Looks sharp, though!

Yes, I was only able to use one of the original holes, and had to turn another into countersunk slot because of overlap. Thankfully, I have a small benchtop mill which made short work of it. If I had to do it again, I would have started with undrilled L-Track. But that stuff is hard to source.
