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

Did you have to correct alignment of the wheels right or left after installation of a lift?

The lift was installed by the dealer, so under warranty. I've been adding bits since then. With the front trackbar installed I'm sure it'll need to be aligned; I had booked a service appointment for a front and rear alignment and 5-wheel rotation for tomorrow, with the goal of installing the track bar beforehand. I had removed the rear track bar brackets and put in spacers a few weeks back (for the rear diff armor install).

Nice work.

LHM down here doesn't have a great reputation, but my sales guy is an off-roader (Tundra TRD off-road) and got me a good deal before he moved up to Customer Service. He also had their master mechanic put on my lift for 850 plus alignment. I was going to do it, but at 73 it ain't as easy anymore. He'll re-torque for free at 500 miles, so I'm putting as much wheeling on it as possible.

That’s a great deal. I also got ours at LHM, and got lucky with an honest sales person.

Yeah, me too, although not required in NM. Here are my images with the same size tires and wheel specs. Note the 4 wheel drive on the tailgate, an idea I got from you. You gotta come out west and we'll do some rock work. Wheels: Ion 715 17/9", Kanati Trail Hogs 315/70R17. I'm using 35 psi, and 18-20 psi off-road, stairs and waterfall rocks mostly.

I'd love to get out that way. Whenever I see pictures posted here from any journey outside of the east coast, I get so jealous. I'm in awe of the southwest and west coast.
The Jeep looks great!

MX4 folding cover and added some factor 55 goodies. I had to do a little grinding surgery on the Warn plate that goes in between the fairlead and the jeep steel bumper itself to prevent the winch line from dragging across steel before it hit the fairlead. Ultimately it’s all good.

I had a pair of Rigid Q series pro sitting in a box in my garage for like 6 years. Even forgot about it. And now i finally got to use my AUX switches. I’m rebuilding a YJ. It will go there but I’ll swap in some nice quality round ones later. I used the old winch plate space cover that was on that bumper at extensions to mount those lights using existing bolts on the bumper. It’s kind of ugly but whatever. They work

Too much...but just got my name FINALLY!

American Adventure Lab High-Line Fender Brace, yes you can keep your stock inner fender liner. Patience and a dremel goes along way. I only removed 4 push pins from the inner liner.

And thanks for all your suggestions and comments.

Seems that’s the trick. He got some grief from his manager, but promoted anyway. Another reason I had their service do the lift. I did everything else.

Started part 2 of swapping out the OEM rock rails with Smittybilt SRC Side Armor. Spent yesterday pulling them off and installing the plates that install on the body pinch point. Just finished installing the passenger side rail probably going to wait until tomorrow to finish out the driver side.

I have been looking at these.Thoughts with build quality/fit finish?

Gave it a bath.

Then finally had some time to install the hood decal I got a few months ago from @Underground Graphics. That is a big bitch that was not easy to install. I rushed it a bit, so there are a few areas in front of the washer nozzle things with some wrinkles/bubbles that would just not come out, even with heat. Otherwise, it looks great. In hindsight, I probably should have paid someone to do it, but not going to worry about it right now. We’ll see how much it bugs me over time.
