The antennas are present as they are used for the push to start feature. He just needs door harnessâs, handles and caps. Then a way to enable the system, ie, Tazer or JScan.
Most all the higher trim levels have the wires in the body harness.

Re-read your post and realized I didnât address the Gladiator rear axle, it wonât work without a lot of fabrication as the mounts are completely different.
Gregj
If you already have a 220 rear you should be good, the LSD works ok, unless you are doing really heavy rock crawling. Spacers are fine for the width, itâs no different than using different offset wheels. Do torque the lug nut properly and you will be fine. Spacers get a bad rap for some of...
Yes the Rubicon axle is the wide axle but you can add spacers on the rear to fix the trac width. This is also why you need the drag link and tie rod. Being a Sahara with an automatic trans a 44 for the rear would be a good addition too.
Gregj
Select Trac will still work, but the lack of cvâs will make turns less smooth. All this is due to the universal joints in the front axle. That is something to consider, you could swap in cvâs or RCVâs or just not use the auto position in the transfer case.
Gregj
Direct swap in, you will need to wire up the locker. Be sure to get the drag link and tie rod as they are different between the narrow and wide axles.

Look for wires in cavityâs 15 and 16 of the door harness.
This is the body side of the connector so look for wires in those cavities in the door.

Reading in the listing it was seized by USPS Postal Inspectors so who knows why it was seized. Maybe a Canadian didnât pay for his stamps?đ¤ˇââď¸. All kidding aside, mail fraud?
Gregj
The Notice says it runs and one of the pictures shows as much, needs a boost to start. Apple Towing has a contract with .gov to tow and store seized vehicles so it could have sat in a storage facility for some time hence the dead battery. It could be a good deal for someone.

Edit to add...
I believe you are overthinking this. Inspection is only once a year and battery replacement *should* be even less frequent. The chance of them intersecting again are very low. Even if the they do you just need to drive for a bit to complete the readiness tests.
Gregj
Click on quick diagnostic in the first screen of JScan and then click on tests and you will get the readiness tests.
You donât even have to hook up the bypass.
This is the current test on my diesel Gladiator

There are âhiddenâ VINâs on a vehicle that help with theft recovery. One not so hidden is on the right side of the frame under the passenger door. There are others.
Gregj
The VIN on the frame has a piece of tape over it when new, here is a pic of the frame VIN on my â23 Gladiator.
The âscratchesâ look like the tape is bubbling.
