Thanks for the vid Casey. I just finished installing my Zeon 12S on my Gladiator. My son and I spent all afternoon working on this and we got it installed no problem. The main PITA moments were of course threading the rope through the damn hole, tightening the 8 bolts behind the bumper and remounting the skid plate underneath. A little tip is to use a floor lift to "push" the plate around so the screw holes are close. I didn't have to drill any other holes through my skid plate. One other issue was Warn decided to send me dinky- ass zip ties. LOL.
I can't get over how nice the Gladiators look. That bumper and LED package is on my option list along with the Aux switch panel as well. Most of the dealers in my area leave those items off the list from their dealer stock. I like the dark silver gray on your friends truck as well. I'll go with the black paint on the body, fenders and top when it's time to order mine. I also like the fine detail you go into when covering your installs and camping trips/travels Nice Work
Excellent description and commentary about this install. I particularly appreciated your comments regarding the difference between the Mopar and Warn Bull Bars . . . I have been comparing these two for installation on my JLU Rubicon. My winch goes on Monday.
Love the Channel and the look of the winch on the Gladiator. Perfect timing, I will be mounting my winch to my Rubi soon. I liked the look on that Bull-BAR so I'm going to order that Mopar Bull-Bar now.
My Diesel gladiator is coming next week. Perfect timing on this video. Do you have the link for the license relocation bracket, or did that come in the kit?
Love your videos. I do have one silly question. Is there a chance you can let me know where you got your T-shirt that you’re wearing in the video? The one with all the vehicles from Saturday morning cartoons. Please and thank you
Does your buddy wish he got the diesel engine in his gladiator? Are you 💯 happy with your diesel? Trying to decide to order a Glad with or pick up gator color without. Thanks Casey for the insight......

Thanks Richard. The LED package is essential in my opinion. The new headlights are amazing.
more of dustins rig please

I like the higher bull bar on my JL but if it was in the way of my camera that would be annoying.
Exactly what I want to do to my gladiator down to the mopar bull bar. Great looking gladiator
That’s a neat install. I think the factory steel bumper looks good.
I agree. I like the stock look
It's called a universal joint socket... basically works the way a u-joint works...
Looks awesome the Mopar steel bumpers look great.
Indeed
Nice video, i am picking up a warn 12000 w/synthetic rope and will be installing it on my gladiator using the factory steel bumper.
Can you install a front two inch hitch receiver still with the winch ?
What about the trim? Is there still room after the winch install?
What size tire is on that thing!? Looks so sick.
Love the Channel and the look of the winch on the Gladiator. Perfect timing, I will be mounting my winch to my Rubi soon. I liked the look on that Bull-BAR so I'm going to order that Mopar Bull-Bar now.
Ya the bull bar is a nice touch.
What size wobblers? Extenders?
Looks good! Nice video 🤙🏼
My off the lot gladiator came with the plastic bumper. The upgrade to the steel bumper is very dear ...
Does that winch plate mount/secure to any other spot besides the four studs on the bumper mount? Thanks
Its been a while but if I recall there are also side bolts holding the brackets into the frame rails.
Does the cradle come with the Warn Winch or that a separate buy?
Separate
Casey, can you still put a Warn cover over the winch with this set up?
Im not sure. I dont have a warn cover. Sorry.
Is it possible to get a parts list for the winch add? I have these bumpers on my JLU and want to do this build.
All the links are in the description.
Thanks, would not come up originally.
I wish I got mine with that bumper. They charge a lot for it. I really dig it in stubby, just not sure about the lack of shackle mounts.
Soft shackles. Safer. Lighter. Stronger.
@@Casey250 Soft shackles are great but I still don't feel real good about connecting them to the hooks on the top of the bumper.
I was noticing the lack of shackle-points today. 😒 After I just installed the steel bumper.
Great video, great jeep bro. My dream car. Greeting from Indonesia
Greetings! Thanks for sharing where you are from!
Thanks for the video. How hard is it to remove the airbox?
Not hard.
My Diesel gladiator is coming next week. Perfect timing on this video. Do you have the link for the license relocation bracket, or did that come in the kit?
Part of the Warn cradle kit.
@@Casey250 Thank you so much!
Love your videos. I do have one silly question. Is there a chance you can let me know where you got your T-shirt that you’re wearing in the video? The one with all the vehicles from Saturday morning cartoons. Please and thank you
I don't remember.
can i put this on a 24 stock mojave bumper?? or does it have to be a rubicon bumper??
You need a steel bumper which the Mojave doesn't have.
@@Casey250figured that…. Thanks man!!
Do you see any issues if you mounted the winch to the winch plate first?
It would be really heavy to install and I would not see the advantage.
Yip!
Winch is always my first investment...
Does your buddy wish he got the diesel engine in his gladiator? Are you 💯 happy with your diesel? Trying to decide to order a Glad with or pick up gator color without. Thanks Casey for the insight......
We’re happy with the gas, the emissions systems wasn’t something we wanted to deal with.
@@noemiklaudia Deep down inside I know he wants more 'clacky clack' in his life HAHAHAH :)
Looks great !
How do you get order the bull bar?
Dealer or many resellers. Its a mopar bar.
What the hell is a wobbler?
Could you do the same to a 2016 JK ?
I am not sure, I haven't taken apart a steel bumper off a JK. Id wager yes but would need to research to confirm.
I believe you need a fuse before you install the positive wire to protect you installation and for safety issues
Province what the hell what country are you in
One with provinces.
12:40 would have been better if you had done air quotes when you said "skid plates"
Haha no doubt.
Sweet! OIIIIIIIO
TRIPOD!!!
