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

[WILDHOBO]

Got the 5th wheel remounted and balanced with a new TPMS. Just that one was really off balance, and the sensor had failed.

Changed the oil a bit early before a little trip.

Added T track to my slide out and tested the whole setup in OBX

Replaced the roll bar speakers. Both work great. The head unit must have just thrown a tantrum when one was disconnected yesterday. They sound amazing. What an upgrade for only two open box price speakers. Completely plug and play with the 7”. No crossover bypass necessary. I talked to Alpine to confirm first.

But I also mounted my CO2 tank -

Glad to see I’m not the only very happy preece customer. It’s been amazing for me. And a great place to put all the stickers.

It's thanks to you, that I found Preece. I was looking at CO2 systems, didn't want to pay the Power Tank prices, was about to settle for Smittybilt until I saw you mention Preece on the forums. Went and did some research that afternoon.
So, Thank You!

I didn't do the work, but I had a Revelco system installed. I will be heading out to vehicle theft hotshots in a few months so want to make it a bit more difficult for them.

Any time. It’s so nice to air up that fast, but in addition, to be able to reseat a bead, or use tools. I was the same. It seemed cool, but not $800 cool. Did you see my post about filling my own tanks at home? I’ve now proved it to be FAR cheaper than having it filled, and I’m getting every single ounce of 10 lbs without difficulty. It’s super cool.

Swapped to the soft top and added a new to me topper.

Seen that, but that's going to have to wait for a bigger garage (and not being a renter) LOL, I bet my land lord would hate me if he knew half the things I've done in that garage so far...
My local shop is about $30 for a full tank, they keep it over night to purge and freeze it before filling. I can live with that because you're right, the ability to air up that quick, plus use tools or reseat a bead if necessary is fantastic.

Can you link info about filling your CO2 bottle at home, please.

Definitely. It was $26 at the ship I used a few times. They were not reliable though. I put mine in the deep freeze overnight first.

Can you booby trap your Gladiator with a glitter bomb like on YouTube??

I could, but I think that would be self defeating. The idea is to make the thief's live miserable, not yours!

You obviously wheel a bit, how would you rate those tires? I’m not convinced there’s that much of a difference between most in the same category and price point. For M/Ts I’m most concerned with durability.
I don’t go in mud so I’m debating actually getting tough A/Ts like Mickey thompsons for my next tire, since I daily mine. I’ve been pretty happy with my Cooper STT Pros but besides looks, I can’t honestly say I’ve done anything that my buddies on A/Ts haven’t also done.
