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

[mx5red]

I extended the passenger side so I could see it through the soft door window.

Am I doing this right?

Installed a Truckslide. Wanted to try something different than the bedslide or cargoglide and this company did not disappoint. Super stout with a 1200 lbs capacity. Also made in America with lifetime warranty.

Also installed the JCR rear molle rack. I was on the fence about it for several months due to worry of it hitting the rear passenger heads but it sits slightly forward with plenty of clearance.

Can you dm me a pic of that slide from the back? I'm wanting to install a slide and then a Clearview drop slide on top of it. My 75 fridge is stout and the Clearview model I need is 27" wide. I think I can make it work and still get my roam box in but not 100%

Installed the 37s a few weeks ago. Finally got my Clayton adjustable rear track bar, and then mounted the 37" spare, with an OEM Overland wheel to match, up in the OEM spot.

More tedious boring stuff. Debadged and rebadged the driver side Jeep logo to fix the crookedness from factory, and spacing with BOH badges. Then added the first BOH badges to the passenger side. Two of them from Arkansas are still backordered. Seems simple, but I was dreading it. Took 2-3 hours per side of the Jeep. I did the passenger side a few days ago.

When you getting up my way to grab the wild bill badge?

That’d be a great trip. I could do the monument ridge trail on the way back. Have you done it? I wonder if I can get some people together next summer.

Any plans to come south? Utah, Colorado, etc.

I have not. Just haven't made it a priority. From my understanding it does offer some pretty significant obstacles, and is open winter as well - but I think most obstacles are passable if desired. It was done in conjunction with the Forest Service (its on federal land) with the DNRC, and one of the local 4x4 clubs. I have seen pictures of it but always end up exploring other roads to nice lakes when I'm in that area ha.

None at the moment but Jan/Feb is is when I usually start to make summer plans. Totally down for a trip out that way, theres a lot of amazing places to see! You have something in mind?

Agreed. We’ll start planning the summer trips after the holidays. I’d definitely try to join you if you come this way, and can suggest some good trails in either Colorado or Utah. There are just so many.

Fixed the out of place factory silver skid plate on the mojave. I don't know why oems started putting silver skids on no -silver trucks with black bumpers. I painted the skid on my 2017 rebel as one of its 1st mods too. Simple rattlecan bedliner.

What tires did you put on? I currently have 35x12.5/R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock Overland rims. What are you running for gears. I have the stock 3.73s. I live in Omaha and noticed your plates.

Hey neighbor, I'm running 37x12.5R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. Still on 3.73s. Mine is just a DD commuter, so I'm not too worried about it

Well, I been hunting last 2 days and Sunday was church but Friday and Saturday I installed a 2.5" Terra flex lift with Rubicon express Forged from track bar ,tera flex lower control arms, Falcon Shocks , and a set of 35x12.50x17's on 9" wide steel rims. It drives crazy good. I can't hardly believe the difference in the way it handles sway is gone. Bobbing is gone. Tire vibrations gone( mainly due to the cooper's I was running on factory rims) . Me and my 67yr.old uncle worked 5 hours first day did the front then 3 hrs. Second day and did the rear. Love this Truck !!!!

That’s a ton of work in that amount of time. Nice work!

Got a new bumper on the ol JT after work!

 

[WILDHOBO]

With the gracious help of @Mightytalldude, installed fox hydraulic bump stops in the front, and added 1/2” spacers at the same time to adjust for the heavier winch and bumper after changes this past season. It took a bit to figure out the measurements on the driver side, but the passenger side went much more smoothly. Didn’t get to the rear today, but will be adding 1/2” spacers there as well to get the stance back ti the way it was. It was a busy day, so didn’t take many pictures, but here is one during the driver side mock-up.
