Is that one of the fabled "tankers"?
Nope just a post WW2 regular M1 Garand and a WW2 m1 carbine.
I do kinda regret not getting a M1 Garand in 308 AKA Navy model too.

Ok so technically it does meet your definition of "mod" but my 2 favorite that now that I have them I cant live without are
1) the tires and rims. The willy's package tires were way to skinny and aggressive for highway driving. It felt like I was driving over rumble strips at low speeds. The new Cooper's even though they are wider, are 10x smoother and look great with the offset rims which make them stick out just a tad.
The 2nd as stupid as it may be, I use daily and don't think I could live without now. The Pro phone holder. I don't have nav installed so I constantly need to plug in my phone to use maps and this puts it right next to the radio and at eye level for incoming calls. Totally worth the $20 and it only took 15 mins to install.

I made my cell phone holder with Kydex and used other companies stuff to mount it, about the same as yours but I don't have to worry about phone falling out.?

You know, Springfield actually sells M1A Tankers now (new). Got one a few months ago. Always regretted selling my scout squad and then heard about this, even better.

I know but for the limited use I'd get from one not quite a need plus my limited supply of ammo and not a big fan of the M1A /M14. I have a AR-10T (AWB Years "a pig" ?) and M&P10 ? already. Now a "Tanker M1" is interesting kinda.

Thats the way I see it.

What springs did you go with? Lift height?
Went with the @Clayton Off Road 3.5-Inch Overland lift. Went wheeling with another forum member a couple weeks ago in UWharrie. He had that lift and I was impressed with the stance and performance.

Boom mat head liners! Picked em up from CJ pony parts. Just slightly cheaper than factory but came in grey.
Music sounds better and insulates from the heat. Which we all may have been dealing with the past few days.

Color matched dash panels, wasn’t a fan of the red. And Diamondback HD bed cover, holds RTT, fridge, bikes, and hunting rifle.

I know others do this as well - are you guys wrapping these panels, painting, or buying as-is from a third party? If wrap or paint, are you doing it or having a shop do it?

Looks great...especially on Gobi...

Kinda reminds me of the Toyota FJC interior.

I went the paint route. Others have DIY paint, but I wanted to make sure it looked quality, so I had a body shop take care of it. I bought a set of gray Sport panels and had those painted, sold the red Rubi panels to offset the cost. There is some concern with wrapping, since the passenger side dash panel has to split for the airbag deployment.

only one place I know makes one for the gladiator

it’s nice but they take a while to get they are all custom-made and Covid has slowed them down took about eight weeks.
Could you share some pictures of your attic in action? How are you liking it? Is it pretty easy to stick stuff up there, and bring it down? It looks like it might be difficult to stick your arms through the sides, unless they're using a stretching material.

Did you buy the color matched dash? Or custom painted?
