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

[mx5red]

Amazing. Thanks for the reply. Im headed in the same direction (37s + AEV Mojave lift). I fear our underbelly and break over angle moreso than our rock crawling flex.

Breakover angle, you say?

Started disassembly of the OEM bed - parts I was selling, parts I needed for the bobbed bed.

Took out tail lights to sell, back up camera to use. Bumper will come off in the morning and get cleaned up and placed for sale.
Started disconnecting all the wiring harness tie ins to the bed. -

There are absolutely way too many of those clips holding the harness in place.
Left one is driver side tail light, right one is tailgate - camera/third brake light. I still have to do the other side and the rest of the box in the morning.

Goal is to have it completely disconnected by 2pm tomorrow, so when my buddies show up. We can lift it off my frame and onto a waiting trailer. (Sold my Oracle flush mounts and bed to a guy on FB, less than 10 min after it was posted).

What bumper is that?

Oh this is awesome!!! Does it work well? I'm curious if that long of a distance causes any pressure issues. Also - got a link?

I didn’t notice any kind of pressure issues so far in my garage test. It has a check valve so that should I keep the fluid from draining out between uses and make building pressure not a challenge at all.

Here’s a link to the kit.

I have been paused on my annual detailing project since Tuesday due to some family matters.
Back at it today and making some headway.
The Chemical Guys Barebones is good stuff!

Wow. I need to get me some of that stuff. Wow. Mine DOES NOT look like that.

It's pretty amazing. Gotta clean it well first.
I've been squirming around under the JT for two hours with it. More pics later.

So standard diy car wash first? Is this used for the suspension components, or just the plastic parts?

I added the Bestop EZ Fold bed cover in Twill. Really happy with it so far and an easy install too.

Molle, Molle, and more Molle! Nice quality job from the folks @ Nuthouse Industries who supplied the Topper for a RTT & awning. The interior overhead, and bed molle panels are from JCR.

Everything underneath from the edge of the fender to tailpipe. You can use it on the engine as well.
I foamed mine underneath last week, and then pressure washed rinsed. A brush would be better though.

Finished the underside detailing for now. It tends to leave a few drips and runs, so I'll let it settle a while and then go buff it.

I thought it needed a wash today. But it got dirtier in town just now. Roads are wet and muddy.
