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

[chorky]

Well I made one more harness and got it put in in preparation of other things so that the in cab 12v ignition signal can let stuff know when to work. I wanted to do more but its about all I could do with outside temps in the single digits today despite the sun

Noise abatement

Is this what I keep hearing rattle around below the bed when I hit expansion joints? The Parking break cables?

Removed my winch, again, in preparation for the new one arriving some time this week.

It may well be. They were rattling pretty good here and up around the carrier bearing.
I zip tied them up there.
This was just 1/8" tubing I had on hand. Put a few drops of CLP in it to make it slide on the metal brackets easily.

Good idea. Is that the stock driveshaft? And I’m surprised at the amount of surface rust on the carrier bearing. Mine looks clean, and I’m in a bad winter climate.

I spent the entire day Saturday installing my Barnes bumper and zxr12k, went to test the winch and battery was dead. Seems I get 2-3 weeks without it plugged in and it dies..

what did you have, and what are you replacing it with?

Yes. Stock driveshaft.

I had the Warn VR EVO 12s, but run there was the recall on the wireless remotes. It’s being replaced with a Zeon platinum 12s. I consider a wireless remote to be a safety feature that I wasn’t willing to part with. Warn’s good customer service and some hoarded credit card points made this an easy decision.

Jealous... I am hoping they get the zeon line fixed soon as thats what I was planning on ordering. The platinum is a great winch, but I'm doing front and rear and can't justify that cost at the moment.

What is being fixed on the line?

I’d love to go rear as well. Are you planning a bumper mount, or removable 2” receiver mount? I’m big on self reliance.
