Didn’t learn about Kikbax mirror/foot pegs soon enough, but they came today, and work great.

Highly recommend:

I like it! I may have considered this if I knew about it before I got my CMM’s.

That being said, please elaborate on this: in the second pic, when I zoom in to see how it is mounted, does the lower portion mount to where the door strap and connector goes??? Or is it just an optical illusion? I can’t tell. If it does, then that is good as I would think that helps with stability.

For 2021 Jeep added the auto-dim high beam function to Wranglers with the advanced safety group package, Jeep introduced this function to Gladiators with the advanced safety group package around mid 2020 MY (late 2019). When I ordered the Gladiator (and 80th edition) the function was listed under the advanced safety group options on the Jeep website but was not on the Jeeps when delivered.

My Gladiator was built in November 2019, when I contacted Jeep we went back and forth with the end result of them saying the function was not available for vehicles built prior to mid January 2020. The same thing happened with the Wrangler. We ordered the Wrangler in October 2020, built November 2021, and when it came in the function was not available. I called Jeep and we again went back and forth with them stating the function was not able to be added as it was not built with that function.

There was a long thread on the Gladiator forums where a member used AlfaOBD to find the module and settings needed to configure the auto-dim high beam function and verified it works.

The only requirement that I am aware of is the Jeep to have the advanced safety group when built. The auto-dim high beam uses the adaptive cruise control camera to sense vehicle lights and the programming turns the high beams on and off.

What you need:

OBD Bluetooth Scanner: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFRFJG6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Security gateway bypass cable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B082PTBZ6K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Software/App: JScan App or AlfaOBD, I am not sure if Tazer offers this ability.
Thanks very much

Excellent question and apologies that I did not include a picture. It does not “mount” per say, but does fit behind the metal that the door strap connects to to keep it from moving

I too was planning to go the CMM route But the price caused me to pause, but then I found the

Modified my awning to be lighter, faster, and I don't have the legs in the way anymore:

The awning was always a cumbersome hassle to deploy and pack away. It was designed for cost-effectiveness, not use-friendliness or efficiency. I never opened it impromptu.

Recently hurt my shoulder, and it became next to impossible to use, so I chopped it up, and made it simpler. (Not my shoulder)

Shaved off over 6lbs. and takes about a minute to open now, maybe a little longer to close. I wouldn’t be annoyed setting it up multiple times a day now.

Installed the Genesis dual battery system. Who ever said they did it in a couple hrs, I don’t think so. Took me 6 plus hrs and two trips to napa for a few sockets etc. I installed it by myself which I don’t recommend, After following the instructions from Genesis video, cranked right up. Took a test drive, great. Next I will install the g -screen. Still can’t make my mind up where to mount it. I like the location on the video but. Looks like a pita to do. First I need a 3 day recoup. The Genesis Seems like a good product. Better than factory crap. Now I have a good factory battery and baby battery if any one is interested, also rubicon take of front suspension parts which I replaced with steersmarts. You pick up (all free). FYI don’t do this in 85-90 degree weather. It was brutal and stupid on my part but it’s done.

I wonder which one will flow better?
Are you putting that on a 2.0T? I’m curious how that would sound.

installed 2.5inch lift kit and 35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Also deleted the third brake light since I have the spare tire brake light on! Much better look! Can’t wait to hit the Bantam Trailfest this weekend!

Looks great, but don't 35's require a wider wheel?

It is on our 2.0t now, definitely louder than with the muffler. With a short run up the highway, it doesn’t seem to drone at all. I didn't put them on a scale, but I'd bet it shaved 20+ lbs off the back, improved clearance, and removed the heating effect the muffler had on the rear under floor storage. It felt peppier, but that could be placebo. Well worth the $150
