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.

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.

Rolan_KrapsIt'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:

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

mark_aReformed 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.

Mr.9mmThat's the first Gladiator I've seen with a cap on it. Really sets it apart. Very nice!
