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

[Tuggernuts]

What did I Do? Nothing, just parked it before mtn biking, but....how dare this EV parking directly in front? ?

I was shocked at how small the Rivian is. Pretty nice though.

I've noticed a very clear distaste for the Rivian on this forum, but they're wrong lol. Those things are sweet.

I have nothing against EVs but that Rivian front end is horrible. Only a mother could love it.

Don't get me wrong, maybe I'm generalizing too much. I fully test drove one on/off-road at their First Mile event. Very capable trucks and the camp kitchen is great! But...what I use my truck for is off-grid four wheeling, just completed the entire Mojave Road then up in the Sierras. The limitations of the Rivian comes in the charging infrastructure and serviceability. I can't say it's there yet with the EV infrastructure. It will come later I'm sure. The Rivian right now is great for the local stuff.

Oracle rear bumper reverse lights. Simple install, plug and play, bright.

I like the rivian, for the wife. Will be looking at their suv for the woman when she's ready to change out.

Did the MB Quart 6x9 retrofit in the soundbar. Installed Pioneer TS6900 Pro speakers with these big ass bullet tweeters. I had to do some engineering to get the covers to fit but overall the finish turned out pretty good. The sound is amazing!! Much clearer at higher volumes than the Kicker upgrades I had done previously. I still believe the best value upgrade is the Kickers for noticeable improvement at a lower price point. If you want to spend ~$200 these are a much bigger improvement to the overall sound than the Terra Acoustic dash speakers. The disadvantage is that they do require cutting of the soundbar and in the case if these Pioneers, cutting of the speaker covers.

Installed the RC CAI and their 2.5 leveling lift.

Installed Rugged Ridge Max Terrain fenders this weekend. I'm happy with the results and gained a ton of clearance. My only negative comment is concerning the gapping around the drl's. It's not terrible but could be improved on. I will find some filler to seal the gap. I'm loving the led light bar next to the head lights.

Wow! (a good wow)

I guess I did it "to".......... wasn't for. I was for me, to the truck -

Their web site says "no ballast needed" for the Gladiator Overland.
I could argue the point........... so it got 210 pounds. It actually rides better with the rear ballast, IMO.
The rear board is to keep the tubes off the ladder.
The front ones are for plywood hauling and to keep the tubes from sliding forward.

Oracle rear bumper reverse lights. Simple install, plug and play, bright.

The only issue with my Oracle back up lights is they are fading the red paint on my car........
This pic was taken on a full sunny day, sun coming into the garage and look at how the Oracle lights are brighter than a ball of burning gas.

Thanks Shadows! The pictures really don't do them justice. As mentioned, the drl gapping needs to be improved but these are well constructed and fairly ridged.

Installed an intake, got rid of some sound deadening. Oil change and a Fumoto valve. Sent a sample off to Blackstone.

How do you like it ?
