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

[mx5red]

KC Flex Era 4 (changed out the KC to my initials - NC … because why not)

Vision X Rear Bumper lights

Engel MT35F … fits perfect under the tonneau which was huge for me. I will either have it mounted on the camper or put it back there - like having options. I need to figure out a mount that allows for the low profile (slide won’t work) and attaches to the rails.

Hi-lift mount (didn’t take pictures). I don’t use it often but better to have it with me than sitting at home in the LJ

I thought that was a Bak tonneau at first, like mine.
I’m having a hard time finding a fridge to fit, and that’s 1/2-1” shorter than some bigger ones like ARB elements and Engel60. Yours is 16.3”.
You think there’s an inch to spare under there, or no way a bigger one would fit? Somebody had their ARB under there which is supposed to be 17.1” but said it didn’t really fit?‍

BTW I can’t find it right now, but I’m pretty sure I saw somebody with a trail rail bracket holding their fridge, kind of like the Thor’s lightning compressor mount a couple posts up, not a basket but fore/aft arms holding it in place.
You could also do something like the ARB permanent mount, some 90’ brackets and rivnuts.

been shopping for a compressor , reading threads etc. how pleased are you with the viviar. You called it a workhorse, guessing you love it.
TIA

I use a smittybilt. I don’t see a reason to spend multiple times more than the viair or smitty, they do the job and seem to last.

There’s maybe a 1/4” clear under there … I measured multiple times before pulling the trigger on the Engel. I looked at a lot of different options.

I like the idea of the brackets - I’ll look at those ARB ones to see if I can do something similar. Thanks.

Thank you! I don’t think I noticed the MT35 was shorter than the bigger ones. I researched to death and decided to buy an Engel before I realized it was too tall!

I'm also a little shocked at the footprint of the 45 combi. But the back 5 or 6 inches is all compressor, venting, and control panel. Its great! I think the quieter run and lower amperage draw is well worth it - hopefully you can find a way to make it work? Or is it just too much?

I drove through the biggest mud puddle which was crossing the road in a low spot on my way to get breakfast and was excited to do so after driving a Hellcat Challenger for the past year and having to avoid them. I am just an adult child

The 60 is shorter than the 45 by a few inches! But it’s a hair taller than the ARB elements so if that doesn’t quite fit, then I definitely can’t get the Engel 60 in?
I really should’ve just gotten a bed cap

Gotcha I misread - not enough coffee....I thought you already had the 60. lol. Yeah a canopy is really the best way to go IMO. I just can't imagine dealing with all the dust and crap from a open cage, and certainly not enough storage for just a tonneau cover.

The markers I bought to black out the white letters on the tires found themselves useful again.

Why not use a tazer ?

Because I don't have one and this was $250 cheaper ?

I like how they're not painted ridiculous colors.
