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

[drewcnit]

Installed the Tazer ahead of this week's regearing. Updated the tire size, turned off the TPMS light, and turned on OffRoad Pages... Didn't play with it for long.

Rugged Ridge locking hood latches. Good fit, love that my hood now locks and it made me realize my rock guard/bug shield was ever so slightly off centered, had to trim at it to get one latch to fit right and close/open well. Buyer's remorse on these, think if I had to do it again, I'd just get a bolt lock for the grill and keep the original latches. Security wise, probably about the same either way, just these are more trouble to open/close the latches quickly if needed.

Removed the front inner fenders prepping for a fender swap next week, to the RR Max Terrain fenders.
I really should take some pictures as I do this stuff...

Messing around with the RGB light light system, trying to figure out where I want to put the lights. I got it with their single zone aluminum Bluetooth controller. I live the lights and aluminum box. The Bluetooth part is useless since the app can't be downloaded on my phone (it is for an older android version).

I have them hard wired for these colors, right now as I mess with it. Sorry for slanted picture...tried to keep my messy garage out of the

camera frame lol

Nothing super exciting. I borrowed a friend’s f350 work truck to use as an anchor to pretension my new winch line. It needed to get done. 28 days until Utah.

I'll DM you details on a show and shine coming up if interested.

Hit me with them too, please.

I'd love some info as well.

What cap is that. Looks pretty cool!



I love videos like this - it's the details!

The cap I had made locally, all aluminium with power and light. All in it was about $1600 but labour here (Qatar) is cheaper. Quality wise it's very good and the guys who built it do a lot of overland and dune bashing rigs.

Very interesting shock design.
I may move them to the top of my list for the Mojave when the OE Fox's get close to their end of life.

Mine are comfort valved and I think about right, the performance or professional may be a little too hard.

How heavy is your rig? Springs? People seem to like firm shocks when their rigs get heavier, I’m curious what you’re running.

I haven't weighed it but the canopy design came in at about 60/70kg and I believe the RTT is quite light at 40-50kg so 'worst case' 150kg over stock. There is the slightest reduction in rear ride height with the set up, but the general wobbliness of the JTR as standard was too much.

Ride is now good on tarmac and off road. Just delivered are some airbags I'll use at low psi just to regain the 1/2" or so I lost on the rear and that I can increase the psi on when I'm fully loaded for the journey back to the UK.

The Jeep is running a 1.5 spacer front and .75 rear.

Are you even local, appears you're in NC

4 hours out and visit KY all the time. ? No worries though if that's not local enough.

Replaced the side view mirror after killing it on a trail snow wheeling…

This is very cool! Could you post some more pictures? Im not a fan of the full height bed covers.

Nah no worries I got you. Was just curious. Check your DM

Yikes, those mirrors went through it, but thanks for the video. It looks like a simple replacement, and it looks good as new now.
