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

[KoBear]

Just rotate it 180 degrees. It only works if you don’t have adaptive cruise to my knowledge.

Doesn’t work if you have auto dimming mirror either. Hole is dead center.

I have no clue or point of reference to know what you took off. ?‍

Same bumper. Big hooks.

Had the Rock Slide Engineering step sliders installed today on the Mojave. The Gen 3 steps have a different shape than the Gen 2 on my JTRD. It was a nice surprise as it makes it look a little sportier. With the back injury resulting in nerve damage in my leg, it makes getting in much easier, even at stock height. I am now taking a tactical pause on mods. I did not say for how long.

Got my new ARB Deluxe bumper installed.

Replaced the rusting shitty hardware that came with the bumper and winch lead with some ARP goodness.

How much do you like that bumper? I've wanted to go full aluminum but I love the look of the one you got. But having a Mojave as well, how's the weight impact on the front? I have a rugged ridge stubby and its a heavy bastard for its size.

Looks good. ARB and AEV make the best looking bumpers IMHO.

Sorry to hear about the injury. Glad the steps are helping.

Yep agree totally. This is my baby and barring an accident or other disaster plan to have it for at least 20 years......so after I hit a deer and mangled the oem bumper I decided to just go for the ARB. I've thought their bull bars were awesome for probably at least 20 years. Is it pricey...yep. Is it overkill for me and my daily driver/weekend forest road and light trail warrior Jeep....yes. Does it "spark joy" and make me smile every time I walk out and look at it...ABSOLUTELY! We've all got limited time on this earth...may as well enjoy it.

Thanks. After a career of fighting forest fires and two back surgeries, it is now just a part of my life. Thankfully, my toys help to keep my mind busy thinking about mods I am not going to do…today.

ok ok i give up! what's the dig on 20" rims? i must have missed the memo. i knew the moment i wanted a gladiator, it would be on 40s. every picture i saw of a 40 on a 17" rim, it made me think of Wimpy over inflating Popeye's tires! cartoonish in my mind. but that's just my opinion and blurry black & white animation recollections!

More side on 17’s, simple as that.

Hell yes. My wife keeps saying she doesn’t know how I have anything else to do to it, and then something gets done. Never ending fun.

If 15” would clear the brakes, I’d run those. The more sidewall the better for comfort and offroad traction.

Installed the Gen2 - Stealth Light Bar from Quadratec. ?

Are those Method 707s? Got picts of the wheels on the truck? I've scoured the interwebs for a shot of them on a Gladiator with no luck.

Adding photos of them in blue. Just installed on my Mojave by @Discount Tire in ABQ after ordering them from DT’s website:
