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

[carmigo]

Mounted my winch and freshly powdercoated tow hooks. Also swapped out the decals/badges to the bronze 392 decals/badges.

Bronze decals and badges was a great touch. Looks great with that green.

Thank you! I couldn’t stand the Christmas theme Lol. Next up is painting the dash bronze.

Weather was nice so I washed off the winter grime. I also parked next a friend of mine's VERY small car. Couldn't even see him out the passenger window, I'm pretty sure his roof would fit under my fenders.

Kinda sketchy with all the lifted trucks around here to be honest, I'm worried the poor guy is going to get run over one of these days.

Really like that front bumper, what brand is that?

Got tired of the spray in bed liner scratching up our new stroller, so I picked up a smart liner. Nice and padded, and no more scratches!

Poison Spyder Bruiser in their Satin Black Powder Coat, came with the truck

My son recently got a new computer and they were nice enough to include soundproof foam packing in the box.

I cut a quick template and scissored the foam, grabbed my hot glue gun. Done and done. I need to find a large piece of this same foam to complete the rear headliner as well.

Well how did you score?

760! Not bad at all for a Mopar 2"lift and falcon adapt shocks. The guy was surprised it did as well as it did.

Pulled the wheels off and checked the ball joints. 12,000 miles, and the wrench clicked after about one clock position. Then went about one more to get a castle slot.

I had previously torqued them last year at about 2000 miles.

Cotter pins suck.

Does this mean that bolt turning was taking up the slack in the ball joint due to wear in 10,000mi?? I wouldn’t think that it would compress appreciably.
Errr I guess that’s the concept of the Teraflex joints that you “adjust”?

I love this. Did it work ?

I'm sure there's better insulating material out there but for noise reduction, it seems to have helped a bit. Further highway testing is required...

$20 harbor fraught light cube + $10 generic 7 pin trailer plug = el cheapo reverse light.

It is pitch dark backing up my drive at night and the plate lights wash out my backup camera. Instead of trying to block that light I figured I'd make the FOV brighter with a flood and make maneuvering much easier.

Light is just clamped onto the hitch chain hole with two washers. The hitch pin still clears and if it gets stolen I'm only out the cost of a lunch.

Still washed out by the plate lights (cmon @JeepCares ) but now usable.

Big improvement overall to safety.

Tazer can help you as well, I'm sure you're aware

For sure, this was my quick fast and dirty solution. Long term I'm going to put in flush mount bumper lights like diode dynamics. I used the trailer plug since the 7-pin has a dedicated backup lamp lead.
