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

[toddarama]

Makes total sense to me............
but
this is our Rubicon with leather interior (leather seats, leather dash) ->

That might be specific to the Mangler vs the JT? My JT Rubi with leather interior doesn't have the screws either.

Here is a picture of mine

My 22 Mojave with leather doesn't have the bolt holes either.

Seat jackers and BulletPoint MagSafe mount. I did not like the height of the dash mount so moved to the grab handle.

Freed her of winter road salt. Checked for paint bubbles, pitting on hood or hinges. Only visible rust is inside of the hitch receiver. Lookin good ?

Love to hear your jeeps holding up well. Probably all thanks to a responsible owner.

Spray-in bed liner, and with that all the dealer add-ons are complete!

Managed to break a bolt, and then the extractor bit off in the factory holes for the rail system in the bed. Dammit.

I'll fix your broken bolt if you fix my broken bolt...........

Sounds like an unfair deal. LOL

I had to check mine, but my ‘21 Rubicon does have them. Leather, if that matters.

I noticed when I stand on the power step getting in and out of my truck, it flexes a lot. I can see the whole thing twist. I can understand the front tending to flex since there's no body bolt securing the front end against my weight, but even in the middle it flexed a lot.
I crawled under, loosened the bracket to step bolts and the two body bolts and tried the lock nuts securing the steps to the rocker pinch weld area and found I could get another half turn out of them, and tightened the other bolts back up. Still a lot of flex compared to the right side.
After seeing how things took a set and the nuts could be tightened further, I plan on loosening the right side body bolts and bracket bolts and seeing if the nuts need further tightening on that side.
Then - I plan on revisiting the steps on the Wrangler..............

I also did more sealing of the wiring harness entry points through the floor and finally used -

- on the bottom.

I had used aluminum tape on the top side - where the wires came through I filled the grommet holes with auto body seam sealer, then aluminum tape over the grommet and that area of the floor. It holds the wires down and in place and should help seal.
Wish I had done that with the Wrangler but didn't think of that on that Jeep.
I'm more likely to go through water and crappy stuff than she is anyway, but still - I think I'll revisit some of the sealing on the Wrangler.

I'm getting to like the stance since the Synergy springs went up front and lifted it a bit, and really like the looks with the RSE steps in place.
It's sitting about 1.5" higher than stock in front and .75" higher in the rear with the spacers.

That's weird. My 22 Mojave with leather does have the bolts out in the open

Yikes... rough day. Hope tomorrow is more successful.

Finally stopped procrastinating and put my Clayton rear track bar in so I could throw the spare down there. It’s been sitting in the bed taking up space for the last 10k miles ?
