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

[TheDerb]

I applied Herculiner to the bed. I couldn’t justify the cost of LineX… nearly $800 in my area for the UV-proof stuff.

I also got my “Explore TN” personalized plate on.

How far down did you have to drill to find water?

How far down did you have to drill to find water?

A few weekends ago I found out taking those 5 gal cans in and out is a MAJOR pain and hard on my back. So I wanted to find a solution

Installed my new quadratec tube doors, go rhino racks and OVS RTT! I’m excited.

That looks great! What bed cover are you using and do the Yakima racks play well with the bed cover? How are the racks mounted?

Works well. Yakima sells a tonneau adapter kit for the Overhaul rack that is marketed towards the Retrax XR and a few others but not the roll n lock, which i have. However, Roll N Lock says to trim the rubber 3/8” from the bottom so they sit nice and flush with the bed rails. So that’s what I did. The tonneau adapter kit from Yakima also include wider t slot bolts that mount to the rails of the tonneau to prevent the rails from bending and lifting when torqued. I guess we’ll see when i take the bed rack off in the fall.

Thanks for the information on your setup. I will be looking into it as I would like to get the Yakima racks while using a bed cover. Appreciate it!

Hi guys, I went ahead and added the Mopar performance rock rails I bought here from jeepmonster.

After about 2 years, 4 badges and 24,000 miles I found some chunks missing in my tread of my Toyo AT3s:

Reached out to @Discount Tire since they were so easy to work with the last time and picked up a set of Toyo RT Trails. Since they were able to give me a warranty credit for the AT3s I couldn’t pass it up.

The urge was seriously there to jump from 35’s to 37’s but it’s still a rabbit hole I’m not willing to go down……..yet.

They look amazing, and I’ve personally seen you drive up virtually everything, so good choice……………………..For now.

Then at 2pm on the same day, picked this up. Problem solved.

I have one just like it. Enjoy. Pm me if you have questions. I’ve done a decent amount with it.

Installed new wheels and tires. Method 318 and Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 35s.

I said the exact same thing! Those were the spacers that came with the kit but I'm looking to swap them out in the future.

It seems the bump stops included with lifts are very conservative. I admit I didn’t have the time to properly cycle the suspension without springs when I just changed my springs, but I’m pretty sure I could’ve lost an inch or so without the tires hitting fenders or suspension parts hitting..
