- Hey my lovelies
I hope you are all doing well. I am so very excited to get this project underway and what better way to do that with a few subtle and very much needed upgrades.
If you like the real lights or hood clips then head on over to their website!

More to come from Ryan and the combat team soon.
Thank you always for watching

The stock tail lights are not very attractive. But those are really sweet!!
I pulled the trigger on a brand new gladiator and I can not tell you how happy I am with the entire process! After discounts and rebates I saved 11k plus in my state totally disabled veterans don't pay taxes! I never thought I was a Jeep guy but let me tell you what! I love this vehicle. I'm ordering wheels and tires on the first
Those tail lights are the sharpest looking I've seen. What an upgrade over the stock ones.
Products that are true “plug n play” have such a huge impact on the appearance of a vehicle. The components that they chose are top notch as well. I powder coat metal and it’s almost indestructible.
I’m also a small business owner and support companies like this at every opportunity.
Those tail light look way way better ❤❤❤
those taillights are so much better looking.
Love those tail lights! I can see some of those in my future.
They are really slick.
The tail lights and Hood latches surely make the jeep look good. I can't wait to see the Fenders get put on. I bet they are some good-looking parts as well
Holly! I love that when you get involved in a giveaway project.. that you attempt to feature each contributor in thier own video! It makes for a great playlist for the winner to up and say. Ya wanna know? Watch this!
The hood latches are something very cool, I'm going to tell my buddy to get them for his Gladiator.
Looking great already. Those factory tail lights are just looking for a place to tear them off!
Those taillights are really nice.
I like those taillight. Tip on the hinge nuts that are in tight spot. Use flange nuts and should illuminate the washer, put the nut in a box end wrench and spin the hex to start it
Upgrade suggestion stiff rear sway bar. That's a lot of tail to control when towing.
Nuthouse Industries Bedrack!!
I love Ryan's RV horn
Me too! It’s so cute 😁
Those hood latches are really cool!! Thanks for letting us see them and the "how to" was very informative also!!
Oracle flush mount led tail lights JL/JT are excellent. You can even transfer your jl sensor package to them. I have them on my JlU Rubicon.
Wow, awesome parts, great look and functionality. wish I could use them on my Hilux.
I love the tail lights. I hope the fenders are a high line design. If this thing is going to be a tow rig I'd leave it without a lift or a very small lift, And BFG all terrain 35's myself. I know you are a KMC girl, but a set of Method bead grips in bronze would look great and be functional both on and off road. It's going to need a good set of bumpers that fit tight and a good winch. Maybe a couple extra lights on the bumper and a bed cover. Then you can PM me for my address and just ship it over. Lol.
Hi Hollie! Love the new taillights but them hood latches are something i personally would steer against for the dropping pin and turnbuckle are gonna do some scratching of the paint!! Maybe they could be rubber coated or a side place to put the pin so they dont scratch the paint!! Good luck and waiting to see this build
I always find it helpful to have a moving blanket to lay parts on the bed of the truck without scratching them.
Metalcloak fender would look real good
I'm glad there are more Gladiator replacement taillight options.
Accuair air suspension would be great for a tow vehicle. It will keep the Jeep level with a load. Love the tail lights.
Supercharge it and different bumpers🤘🏼🇺🇸
I like the hardware. I have to check it out. Good job. Thank you. 😊
Cool tail lights and hood latches ❤
A Gladiator is on my bucket list. Great stuff.
I just got a 23 JTR gas. I'm actually very happy with the halogens, the taillights I'm worried about ripping them offroad. Stubby antenna for the car wash. Bed mat. Doing 35s, teraflex 1.5" spacer up front, 0.75" daystar rear spacer. Mopar steel winch bumper so I can add a winch. I'm already very happy with it's performance offroad and I still want it to be usable as a truck. Control arms and track bars I'm still unsure of at the moment. For auxiliary lights, I'm thinking kc daylighters.
Nice stuff but hood latch needs a rubber bumper or mat on the fender to catch the turnbuckle
Going to be a sweet build!
Whew, those tail lights are a pretty penny!
So far, so good!!
Those turnbuckles need rubber on them, that paint don't stand a chance.😂 good product though. Pretty sick.
Very nice mods 👍🇺🇸👍🇬🇧
Holly- engine upgrade 426 Hemi - yes ma’am
Holly! Can't wait to see how this all turns out. I'm sure it will be dope AF. One item is really like to see installed is an Awaken Series overhead control module from "Fury Engraver". Their products look really nice, so I'd like to see a real- world install.
I’m impressed
I like that truck
I would like to see the JT with a bed rack/tonneau install!
I’ve definitely added that to the list!
If you’re gonna tow with it change the gears, I put 5:13’s in mine made big difference
That gladiator needs a decked drawer system and a modular rack system
It's odd that he made a comment about Holly's ratchet hitting the paint on the bottom of the hood, but the Steel Turnbuckle hit the paint on the fender and will rub there every time the hood is open.
Love the combat tail lights a lot
I was yelling at the screen when you guys were fighting with the nut on the bottom of the hood lateches, the grille comes off with four clips, it takes about 30 seconds to pop off
Pedal Commander, RockSlide sliders, Rear Bumper, Rock Crawler lift, Cameras, Recovery Gear, Winch
Those are all great suggestions!
Tail lights are a lot better than the original
Nice tail lights. The price tag is a little scary though.
Hey Holly, I just saw you with Marco in Mexico, and now you're in London Ontario? That is my stomping grounds. I hope to run into you while you are in the area.
Ah, now I see that Ryan came to you, and you did not come to him, I thought you were local right now :) Ryan is from where I live, and I deal with him all of the time.
Looks great, a quality-looking product. Suggestions for the JEEP, @DECKED slide-in for bed and a bed rack system, bumpers/winch. small lift with wheels/tires, rock sliders with a step. That'd be perfect for me hahaha. You can throw in a quality roof tent if wanted haha. Enjoy
Nice tail lights. Great idea. Not much on the hood latches though
It needs a Badland winch with the synthetic cable with bad ass fog lights
Another great video! I'm not sure what mods I want on my duties Gladiator. Other than bullet point mounting solutions and a grms radio
A rack mount tent, ecoflow power kit, ecoflow glacier fridge/ ice maker and the ecoflow air conditioner/ heater. I know if I won that setup I would want to stay out all weekend every weekend. These would be necessary upgrades to do so. Can I get a "yes please!" If you agree?
Those tail lights would eliminate the 1st step to wheeling a Gladiator in the East…..”remove taillights and place them in the back seat”.
Not sure I’d know what to do with all the extra time but might just have to get some and find out.
😂😂
Hey Holli and Walt! I know the headlights “LED” on my Glad Rubicon try to kill me in winter as they can’t melt the snow off that I’m driving into. My vision grows dimmer and dimmer, until I installed Rigid pod lights that I throw on when my factory lights go dark. Just a suggestion.
Top of my list would be to chop the bed.
Then why not buy a wrangler….
I’m not a huge fan of JTs. But this will be a great tow rig for the Can-am 😊🤘🏻
no
@@MischiefMakerTV leave the bed alone
@@NMS350 I have wheeled the JT and the JLU. They both have their pluses and minuses. There are a lot of situations out on the trails where the extra wheelbase from the JT actually helps a lot, but the overhang in the back becomes a problem. A custom bed chop gives the best of both worlds. You get the wheelbase of the JT, and if it is done properly you can still tow, but you gain a ton of departure angle.
First mods would be air lift bags for the rear springs (for towing), led lighting, a Tazer Mini (not the lite) to open up more system settings and adjust for tires and gears, and 2.5” spring lift for the front and a 0.75-1.0 lift in the rear, on 35’s. Towing with a bigger tire is a waste.
3 1/2" Clayton lift with 38" tires
I would rock those lights if they supported the sensors
sweet!
I need to see what kind of seating room on one of those
I run something similar to those hood latches on my xj hahahahaha!!
Im not a fan of these rigs at all but those tail lights look way better than the huge bulky ones and they need to figure out a new cam spot built into the handle or something so it dont stand out likea sore thumb lol o and the latchs seem cool strange u didnt try to find a set of locking ones so ppl cant steal the motor if its left outside lol
The Scamp 19' Deluxe is bursting with benefits.
Weighing approximately 2400-2900 pounds with a hitch weight of only 400 pounds, this RV can be towed by just about any vehicle.
I hope you could see if the Jeep Gladiator JT can have a fifth-wheel type hitch installed on it.
Thanks for the info on my request to pull my dream camper.
HEY! Hello Hollie!
I got a great mod,,, “My Name “ painted on it , “ can we get on that straight away please 😂😂😂
Something that I added to my JK that I haven’t seen anybody else. Do I put hydraulic rams on my hood makes it nice and easy to open.
I have the hood latches and can’t count the number of times people have commented on them. They change the whole look of the Jeep.
Yeah, I’m not usually a fan of aftermarket hood latches, but I will be putting a set of these on Nessie. They are way more secure than the stock JK latches!
Hood latches, GREAT product, but how about the cost???
Have those turnbuckles on the hood latches scratched up your paint?
Hi Holly, how do you enter to win the gladiator?
I’ll post the website page as soon as it it public, but it will be posted to the Tread lightly home page.
www.treadlightly.org
🤘🏻😎👍🏻
Great video and the taillights and hood catches look great and God bless from GA and stay safe
Those tail lights should be standard equipment. They look amazing. The stock ones look like “oh sh#t we forgot the back lights”. They are butt ugly.
I totally agree! And it’s a shame because the JL Grille is so much better than the JK. It’s like the rear end was an afterthought
👍❤️
On board air compressor
these new hood latches have so many loose parts that you can easily lose what is so bad about the original ones ?, but i like the new tail light !
hood latches seem to be ridicules, maybe I'd get use to them but that's not expected. take off bulky tail lights for trim ones, then put on bulky hood latches???
Just a nitpick that may not be an actual issue but I live in brushy area and the pin retainer cords look like they’ll catch a lot of limbs/crud… is there a way to tuck them in?
Remember folks "Real Jeeps have round headlights".
I want a Gladiator but I want one that’s been flooded and an insurance write off: I want just the body, frame and title: gut the red and build a non-electronic Jeep like Jeeps used to be!!
Top of my list is armed it to American most wNted 4x4 for a complete offroad transformation and a hellaphant engine swap 😂😂😂😂
so when is the ramcharger build going to start ? i cant wait to see what team Rud a Maker comes up with!
I am not 100% sold on the Combat Off Road taillights, but even so they are lightyears better than the factory ones, which are horrific.
Horrific is probably the most appropriate word for those massive stock tail lights 😂😂👍🏻
@MischiefMakerTV for a bolt on mod the combat off road lights are nice. But even the hole left to fill with a bolt on mod is far from ideal. I'm all in on the hood latches though.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What makes them tail lights worth 600 bucks?
Hi Ryan
fuzzy dice for the rearview mirror??
Those are essential!
So. How do i enter. Buy anything from tread lightly? Or is there a specific thing or time to buy or donate.
There will be 2 main ways to enter. The first is by becoming a Tread Lightly Member and $5. Entries will also be available with PayPal payments made directly to Tread Lightly. You can keep an eye out on their home page www.treadlightly.org but I’ll also make a video the minute their website is up.
sorry if this was already asked but are those tail lights metal or plastic?
I would love to see 74Weld portals
I have started that conversation. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 that would be a huge addition to the build!
Atlas and some Currie axles🤔
Wow what a big difference those tail lights made plus they’re more stealthier than the bulky factory ones
Add the Motobilt bed
Does it need armor?
As a tow rig, probably not, but if I can find an appropriate partner willing to donate some skid plates, I’d love to include those for the future owner! 😊
Hm cool mods to a gladiator? I know what I would want if I had a gladiator.. I would want some classy pinstriping applied just above the windshield on the truck's forehead. Applied by hand with a cxamel hair brush by an eccentric old lettering artisan and striping guru. The striping would be there as a sort of self insisting gilded nest for the lettering to live in. The lette4ring would carry the message and the pinstriping would carry the aesthetic weight
Now as far as I know you can only get that job done right in Utah. Manti Utah of all places. And only on the first w3eekend of June At the Rat Fink reunion. Maybe for free if one of the artists digs your car and you dont bug him while he is working his (your) canvas, erm car.
The lettering on my perfect Gladiator's forehead could say one of two things (Im thinking gold plaint with shadows and accents would be good or is that too gauche?)It has to read either "I AM SPARTACUS" or "Are you not entertained?
The lights I like so much better..
Hi Holly , whats the info for signing up ?
I believe the website will be up by May 1 and should be available right from the home page of www.TreadLightly.org
