Today, I'm having a local high end PPF company pull off the rear fender flares PPF and put on 3M PPF for the rear flares. Covering ALL the paint on the rear flares, not "most" of it like the stock coverage. Costing about $200, but I think worth it as I've already got a bunch of small chips all "around" the stock coverage.

Installed the Teraflex 1.5” leveling lift on my Sport S (with stock Rubicon take-off wheels/33” Wildpeak A/Ts). looks much better!
DEFINITELY looks better. How does it ride? Considering doing the Teraflex level on my Rubicon after adding a heavier Warn front bumper and Winch. I'll probably wait to see how it affects the front end droop, but am concerned about the ride / steering.

Thanks! The ride/handling hasn’t changed at all that I’ve noticed. It’s still on the same original springs & shocks - just with a 1.5” spacer on top of the springs, so I didn’t expect any change. It DID feel slightly different when climbing in/out of it though. I didn’t expect that little bit of lift to be noticeable, but it is. Just slightly though.

First off: Thanks to @pixeldecals again. Always great service and quality goods!!!

So the wife finally decided to name the Gladiator taking a twist on the Tolkien quote "All who wander (WANDA) are not lost"

I got tired of having a sticky note to remind me what accessories are hooked up to my Aux Switches:

And now for the real work:
After I installed the new Rhino Rack Back Bone and Pioneer Platform to mount my solar panels, I was not happy with how far back the platform sat, even at it's farthest forward adjustment. With the overhang of my RTT, the last row of solar cells on both panels were covered:

So off it came. There is an "accessory" rail that is on the rear crosspiece of the platform frame but the Back Bone mounts for the feet are too wide to use the T-slot track.

So I fabbed some flat stock "extensions" to make the feet reach the accessory track:

Now my panels clear the RTT overhang and at noon I was making almost 10a:

I swapped out my Freedom Panels for my Bestop SunRunner today. C'mon (semi) topless spring, summer, early-mid fall driving :rock::rock::rock:

Took the “gladiator” and “Mojave” stickers off the sides and off the hood. Will remove the smaller “Jeep” badges later.
Put on my bestop ez roll tonneau cover, installed my Lange coyote mirrors for doors off time and completed 90% of my GMRS install, just need the antenna cable to arrive tomorrow.
