What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[RudeJeepin]

Got my tonneau cover installed. I found one that will let me use a bike tailgate mount.

Could you tell me which one this is, please?
What do you think of it?
How had would it be to remove it, when needed?
I have one of those in bed tents and think it would get in the way. But I like the idea of a roll up cover, and that one looks like it's got hard slats in it for some security.

Hey I appreciate the quick response. My only other question is. Are the switch colors changeable?

Yes they are. The backlight can be changed to red, blue, green, or white. It’s also dimmable.

It's a x4s. There is a thread with info on a group buy. Honestly that price was so good it was an easy decision. It takes longer to align because of the roll up nature, but I really like it so far. The slats are aluminum so It appears to be secure. I couldn't open it without the tailgate being down. With a ratcheting torx it wouldn't be terrible to take off, but it rolls so close to the cab I don't expect to need to often.

Installed the sill entry guard set on the gladiator and cleaned it up

I like the door sill protectors. I have the same ones.

Tweaked my home-made aux switch terminal strip.
I wanted it to look more finished and to prevent accidental contact.
I also added a jumper so both rear positions are usable for ground.
The cover is polycarbonate - you could drop something heavy on it and it is very unlikely to break.
I wanted easy access to the terminal screws but still keep things covered and out of the way as far as accidental contact.

Mockup -

Installed -

Parallax makes the holes appear to be out of alignment but when standing straight over it, they are a pretty good match. No need to remove cover to loosen or tighten screws.

And a brass jumper for ground. Now I have an open ground spot available ->

Had an AEV 2” lift installed and put the new wheels and tires on!

I have had the front doors off one other time but put them right back on bc I didn’t have a storage solution. I think I laid them on a blanket on the garage. I added the Quadtratec door alignment pins to all 4 doors and they really help. The cart is great. We have a condo in NC that is on the third floor. I’m supposed to be able to roll the doors up the elevator on this cart (video on their website) to safely secure them. It‘s really the main reason I never wanted any hangers in the garage. This is a good solution for me. It took me 6 months to find mirrors. You can go el cheapo but the mirrors shake and move. You can get the mopars that are really nice but I’m not about $300 for temporary mirrors. These kickbax are easy to attach and to no need to be screwed down (saving paint). For $175 a pair I’m happy. I was going to go with the JPeggz but they put too much torque on the lower door hinge and can move it out of place. The wind noise is supposed to be poor too. If any of you have experience with them, maybe I read wrong. Really happy with the two decisions.

You're exactly right about the JPeggz. Those things screwed up the alignment of my lower door hinges and it was a pain to get them right again. I will not use the JPeggz again, which is too bad, because they were fun.

Continuing the quest of removing the red trim from the Glad and cleaning the look up. Cause I don't like it. The red tow hooks stay, however.

Installed some interior organization items. First, a MOLLE Platform Solutions overhead tray. Gives me a spot to place some small light things up top, and then attach MOLLE pouches below, and high location for my external ham radio speaker. I’ll also add some recovery gear for quick access. Second was an @Invictus Off Road center MOLLE roll bar wrap to which I attached some MOLLE pouches from 511 Tactical to hold a flashlight, handheld HAM radio, glass breaker/seat belt cutter, and an IFAK. I must add, the folks at @Invictus Off Road are top notch with the customer service. I received the item and emailed asking for tips on how to install it without removing the top (I have a Rhino Pioneer Platform making removing it challenging), and I received a call within minutes to walk me through it. For me, this is why I buy local and US made whenever possible.

I live between two small lakes, Geese visit my yard every morning/evening..... just before they step into my yard, I swear they switch their asses from semi-auto... to full-auto... creating a buffet for my dog... lol... I keep thinking, "This Shit has to Stop" !... any humane suggestions ?

Those are Canada Geese…..you’re welcome ?

Went wheeling today and I was an idiot… my JT slid off my gas tank and on top a huge rock… right onto the driveshaft and exhaust. I’m gonna have to replace both. I sure did it TO my gladiator lmao

Put on the Maximus 3 bed rails. Unfortunately it doesn’t cover the back of the bed. Hoping to purchase another rail cut it to fit with some brackets so under bed rail items are 100% secured

Got a lightly used rubicon steel bumper + skid plate + some accessories a couple weeks back. Been slowly cleaning it up and taking it apart (man, those tow hooks are a PIA to get out). Once I find a winch, I'll be installing it on my Mojave.

Backyard spray painting the whole thing to cover up the minor scratches already on it (Rustoleum Truck Bed Coating). Will be nice to have a guaranteed paint match as well if (actually, more like when) I scratch it up off road. So far I've gotten the skid plate pretty much done, the brush/grill guard, and have just started the first coat on the bumper itself.

I just did this on a rear bumper. After letting it dry for a few days, I went over it with some flimsy card board (paper bag would also work) to knock down the course scratchy surface and give it a smooth feel. Still looks the same, just feels smooth instead of rough.
