I do like the horn!

What an awesome ride and project!!! I want to prank the Wife with that horn!!!!!

Nice! Love all the mods you've done! Seriously considering trading in my '17 Rubi JKU on a Gladiator.

Congrats Rolan!
Glad you made it past the go fund me days.

Just for fun, I got my "Gobi" colored guns out with my Gobi Gladiator.

The EVO fits great under the seat.

Damn! I need to start me a "go fund me campaign.

Looking good Rolan!

How’s it do for short highway stretches?

I don't know yet Riley. I bought it just as everything was locking down. I do plan on taking a trip as soon as I am able.

Thanks!

Well this is a fun thread ... c'mon more pics.

Whats for the inside?

And, you have an AUG in desert. Noice.

I haven't done that much inside. I installed some covers on the sun visors, got a Molle on the back of the passenger seat, Installed a Bulletproof phone holder. I'm going to be adding molle covers to the head rests.
I added a couple bins on either side of the console, and a "pouch" the goes in the grab bar.

It's been a while since I checked in on the Gladiator.

I've added Molle Seat backs for extra storage.
I added a JCR Molle panel by the left passenger side and attached a Fire extinguisher.
I attached "Bulletproof" phone mounts and had a double USB outputs in the dash so wires don't have to hang down.
The Camper top finally came in and was installed.
I added some "star" graphics on the side.

Now for the "Big Lie". "I think that I'm done for a while".


I took this before I put the graphics on:

I think the top makes the proportions look better

I want first dibs for a ride in the bucket seat that gets mounted on the front fender,
You know

Actually, it is a Wrangler body with pickup bed on a Ram frame.

Reformed jeeper here. I might have to put you on my ignore list to protect my sanity.

I'm curious to see how the Temps on your engine run. It looks like you seriously blocked a lot of the air flow into the radiator.

We were out getting feed today and I saw that front end treatment on a couple of jeeps. I hadn't made up my mind on if I liked it or not (not that it matters cause they aren't my jeep). I saw this thread and showed it to "she who desperately wants a Gladiator" and she said: Oohhh, I like that.

Which means, of course, that any misgivings I might have are incorrect...

Seriously like the bed rack system. Have you tried taking it out by yourself yet? YouTube videos make it look pretty easy.

Enjoy, I hope it is exactly what you want...

Diggin the grill Rolan. Looks pretty awesome.
I like the idea of a train horn, especially 300 dB. I went with the 160 dB powered air horn with PA. It’s pretty fun too.

I love the lady’s reaction to the horn in the video. Priceless. Similar to my wife’s reaction when I had her filming my horn.

I have a Rubicon Gladiator also and recently took a 400 mile (each way) trip to the beach and it was pretty comfortable. We averaged about 20 mpg in mostly highway driving.

Love it with the cap...a modern day Land Rover 110

That's the first Gladiator I've seen with a cap on it. Really sets it apart. Very nice!
