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

[Volksparts]

I talked the softtopper that finally got here after 2.5 months along with the rokblokz.

Truck looks great! Nice to see someone else using the jcr rack.

Added hi lift Jack mount to my bed rails. Really nice item - finally have the jack out of the bed.

Home and unpacking ASFIR skids to install... but sprained/ broken ankle, hobbling around with crutches. The really S###y part is I'm heading out on some contract work in few days. to be starting with bum ankle.
well at least installing skids won't be standing up.

Changed oil and filter ...

Installed my @DesertDoesIt jackers and panel, and ding dang ya'll, what a difference! I think my gladiator might finally be as comfortable as my wife's WK2 for road trips. Let me know your ideas for what to mount, I'm still not sure.

In June, we did a 4,500 mile trip. Came home and ordered the jackers. Just got back from another 2,000 mile trip with the jackers installed. I drove 8,50 miles yesterday to get back home. The jackers did their job.

Got the boltlock hood lock installed today. I thought I was gonna break my handheld rivet gun with those giant steel rivets!!!

Had to trim a little more than @USMC_1Wire6337 to fit my grille mesh around it.

I think it was worth the $90 to not have to worry as much. It’ll keep honest people honest.

Man, now I wish I warned you about the tightness. If the fob body is facing up with the key towards the bottom, there is just enough space to open the lock. Sorry I missed that detail. Still looks good though and I agree on the benefits of having the lock.

Nah. Mine lined up much higher than yours. Rubber cover wouldn’t even close. I did your cut to start. Couldn’t make it work. Must just be a tolerance thing or manufacturing difference.

Yeah, might be the difference between Rubicon and Sport.

That is the titts but wow what a price tag ! I just did my oil/filter change yesterday and was thinking just this morning how much creaking was going on removing the installing the housing that this is not going to last long ! I did install a Fumoto valve to ease the pain # F106SX M14 x 1.5

I got her Line-X'ed today. I got the "Platinum" bedliner... not sure what the difference is vs. the other liners.

The “Platinum” is the top coat sealer/sealant. It is absolutely the right choice IF the Line-X will be exposed to the sun and will continue to look as the day it was done for many years to come. Yes… smoother too.

I had a Toyota Tundra with Line-Xd front/rear bumpers and rock sliders (my son’s Tacoma also) and it all still “shined” (son’s - and still do) like new for many years.

My currently installed rock sliders are also “Platinum” Line-Xd.

Is that like a clear coat applied after the line-x?

Yes(?) or maybe more within the process of, but apparently not something that can be added to the factory bedliner (I asked my Line-X guy).

Another big money mod. Hitch plug $8.59 for 2 of them on Amazon lol. I am gonna give one to someone I see at a Jeep meet or in a parking lot. Could not see paying 40 bucks for the one that said Jeep on it.

Better off too, the ones with JEEP on them grow legs. Had one back when Jeep only charged $8.°° for one but someone else liked it to much more. It was a textured rubber one.
