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

[Lrowe]

On board air. Picked up this kit from Innovative AT Products. Owner was very responsive on Instagram to a few questions I had. Now I need to figure out if ArmorLite is still an option or not.

Also replaced the original battery with a DieHard and bypassed the Aux battery.

Armorlite is an option. I mounted the same Innovative AT dual compressor mount at the same time as my armorlite, and it fit fine. However, if you ran the power cables through your front or rear drain passenger side drain, you will have trouble fastening down the armorlite drain plug. When the weather is better this spring, I will rerun the cables.

Hey all...regarding my new Jeep Gladiator Sport Willy...i am considering this option...any feedback or know of another cool option similar?:
Clearlidz
I love the option of having a sunroof instead of the hard top all the time and think whoever started this or created the idea is genius!
(oops just did a forum search and reading all the info i found now...)...anyway, thought it was a cool idea!
after reading everything... jeetops and sunriders are also an option...looks like i have alot to think about!

I have the Clearlidz on my 2021 MOJAVE. It is great for winter here in the Grand Canyon, fairly good seal for snow and water, but louder on the road than the stock freedom tops. My wife loves it for the sunlight when the days are short and nights are long, but it is not something you would want to use in the summer, as it heats the interior up quickly in the sunlight.

Yeah, I went with the drain plug underneath the passenger seat. I wanted to try going under the cowl and through the space behind the windshield frame and run it under the passenger side floor panel but the ARB harness wasn’t long enough for that.

I replaced the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The time it took was 3 hours. Your asking how could it take this tard 3 hours to do that? I dropped one of those screws that are supposed to be captive. I used my driver to extract the screw, but I left it in high and the screw came all the way out and fell with a tink tink noise. I looked for an hour without any luck. Then I removed the entire airbox and tube , radiator fan assembly, skid plate and wheel well liner. I looked for another hour, still without luck.

When I started this 5 minute task, I decided that the carport was a fine place to work. With that said, I put everything back together and drove it into the shop. Put it on the lift and with in 5 minutes, I found the screw. It was in the upper mount bracket for the axle. I had my fingers in there before but apparently not at the correct angle.

I have been losing shit like this repeatedly lately and it’s pissing me off lol. I lost the lock washer to my kc light locks for my flex era 4 somewhere down the fender looked for an hour and nothing. Then yesterday I got my factor 55 flat link and I dropped the snap ring. No idea where it is. Ordered some replacements and luckily they have already shipped. So damn frustrating!

I did the same. I think the solution is step bit on a drill, some paint and a new grommet. I can't reach up high enough while laying on my driveway so I will get it done on someone's lift.

Completed modding out my Rubi's partner in crime. The overland trailer is now ready for off road use.

Flipped the axles
Cut off the fenders and angle iron brackets sold the original tires
Welded on new angle iron, flat steel (foot steps), and 16 ga fenders (https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Fenders-pt-16~1|2_Inch_Wheels.aspx). Will be able to upgrade to 35" tires if I decide to go that route.
Mounted up some Gladiator offtake wheels and 33" Falcon MT's.
Cut off the Ball Hitch
Welded on a new Lock N Roll Hitch https://locknroll.com/
Painted over all my UGLY welds

Waiting on delivery of a custom fitted tarp https://www.coversandall.com/?utm_source=transactional_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=header.
Will add Maxtrax and Rotopax mounts this weekend

Once I add the 2" lift to my GEEP the system should be fairly level.

Time to go!

What are the trailer dimensions?

What are the trailer dimensions?

5x8 feet 29” sides. I believe it’s the Big Tex 305v if memory serves me

 

[G8R]

What are the trailer dimensions?

The bed is 5' x 8'. Trailer is still working well for me. Use it all the time hauling crap around but not for camping much this last couple years.

I hate when that happens

They’re unfortunately not captive on this air box. I use a manual Phillips to remove them, and they come right out. No matter how careful I am, I usually drop one each time I do it. Magnets.

I will remember that for sure whenever I plan to do mine, for sure. I always have one of those telescopic magnets, they've become lifesavers (fingersavers) as I'm getting older.

You’re not kidding. Of course, that ends up being the tool I can’t find, since I put it in “a safe place” in my old age.
