Replacing our 2023 Jeep Gladiator Grille With A 2024 Jeep Gladiator Grille
In this video, I'm swapping out our 2023 Rubicon Grille with a 2024 Rubicon Grille. Some people like the new grille, some people don't. Personally, I think it looks awesome and will be a nice upgrade. I ordered this grille from distinctionapplied.com ! Shipping was fast (19 days total), paint matched perfectly and it was very well packaged! Definitely give distinctionapplied.com a look if you decide to go this route. Hope you enjoy the video and find it useful, if so, please be sure to give it a thumbs up and share with your friends. Any questions you may have, just leave them in the comments and I'll be sure to answer them!

Jeep Gladiator Archetype Stirrup Steps

I ordered these stirrup steps on October the 26th, 2023 from Archetype Racing. At the time of purchase, they had stated on their website that there was up to a 8 week wait before shipping. Almost 2 months, but I figured they'd be worth the wait. They're expensive, but the reviews on these steps were really good and they are exactly what I wanted because they mount directly to the rock rails. So...
