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

I thought about this too but wasn’t sure how you crimp 8+ga wiring.

This is the correct way to crimp those lugs, but if your limited on funds to buy such fancy tools you can use a square head bit with channel lock pliers like I use. Makes a solid crimp even with 2gauge and 1/2” lugs for free. Just sayin

Here is another option. It's not the best. But its cheaper, and with good sealing it works plenty well.

Well (yesterday) Started the day off with getting the tint done, then I went through the prick ass job of installing my Armorlite flooring and then finished the afternoon off with the loop delete on the exhaust, nice change in exhaust tone and feels like it has some more pep in it's step

That armorlite looks awesome! Man makes me want to get one. How much more/less does it weigh compared to the factory carpet? And does the noise level increase??

Also curious if you noticed any performance differences with the exhaust work. Pretty sure that loop is in place for equal exhaust length for better flow and less turbulence.

Since the temps were in the mid 70's today. I took advantage of it and washed and waxed the JT. It won't get waxed again until spring.

Well for the Armorlite........ Weight difference....maybe +/- 5-7 lbs. Noise it does numb out some of the tire noise.

The exhaust loop. More sound (not) stock, better sound. The butt Dyno says there was some improvement......not racecar gains, but not as sluggish of the line. Well with the money

Interesting, I was actually expecting there would have been power loss.. good to know!

I love my Willys stock wheels, but if I upgraded it would be those Method wheels, dang that's sick. And lighter I'm guessing (I don't know the stock wheel weight at least).

Pulled out lift kit to check and inspect. Painted rear lower control arms skids. Read install instructions over again, the paper copy. Trying to decide if I'll install front axle truss and C reinforcement brackets at same time as the lift. If so I need to pull front axle out. I'm thinking maybe when I install locker. Big enough project for one or two days by myself.. ?

 

[redriderjf87]

Put Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit up front, Daystar .75" in the rear. 285/75r17 Yokohama Geolander MT's.

Hmmm, I like that setup. When I get my TF 1.5" installed, may have to go with those tires, I'd like to keep MT's and go just a bit bigger. You like them?

Installed an ARB twin compressor on a Grimm offroads bracket. Really enjoying the hidden install and the ease to get to the on-board air without deafening everyone in the cab.

Nice I’m doing mine and my falcon adapt tomorrow. How was it getting the fenders off? I bought a big bag of clips just in case!

Last 2 days (1) PRP seat covers (2) Console vault. (3) Dirtydog 4x4 Roll Bar cover.

Thank you! I swapped the original lip bolts with Method’s black ones. Method black splined lug nuts and Method brushed aluminum center caps.

Is that roll bar cover for a soft top or the hardtop ?

Its for soft top but can be used on both Soft & Hard.

The clips are needed, I had to replace all 10 of them on mine. but once the bolts are out it comes off with a fair amount of force. The worst is hearing the plastic carnage from the clips, just trust its the clips and not the fender.

That flooring is truly a bitch and a half to install but absolute quality. And kudos for matching the drain plug color. I need to order the red to go with my Rubicon accents

Been fighting a balance issue since I bought these tires and wheels used. Well last weekend I heard what I thought was beads in conjunction with the wheel weights. Pulled the weights, slightly better. Ordered new beads and went to put the in today. But first vacuum out the old I figured…. It’s a mix of sand and what looks like melted rubber (not tire rubber). No idea what it is. Hopefully better with some actual beads.
