Your first Mod of 2025 was (or will be)?

[Zachanadandy]

Are you going to get the MC adjustable Trackbar? Super easy to get the axle centered under the truck.

The raised mount alone has it within 3/8" of center which I can live with. When the stock bushings wear out I'll upgrade. Our 2019 still had the stock track bar with the synergy flipped drag link and raised mount on 3" of lift and 38s at 63k miles when it was stolen. I like to prove the internet wisdom wrong. Obviously I have 0 problem buying parts and doing upgrades, when they are needed. Between the JT and the 2 JLs we are over 130k miles on 37s-39s... and I've never changed a tie rod. Some of the factory parts are far stronger than they get credit for. You get the guys who replace the entire suspension the second they decide to go to 37s telling everyone that's what you have to do to run 37s... but you don't.

Fair enough.

My MC Tierod arrives on Wednesday. I'm just doing everything, finishing the alignment and moving on to other shit.

I have ideas I want to do. I love seeing the mods people have done. just trying to make my Gladdy my own.

I'm in the same boat! I gather quite a bit of inspiration from everyone's involvement in these forums! I sometimes get overwhelmed with which mod I wanna do first, so I decided to start simple.

Tires and wheels are up first for me from a mod perspective along with the necessary adjustments for toe in and steering centering. Likely going for Rubicon or Willys take offs or possibly a bigger tire on my 18" overland wheels.

I'm about to roll 40k and I've got a 2020, so diff fluid inspection/change and fresh oil change thrown into the mix.

New shocks and possibly a leveling kit are in the works this year!

These arrive on Tuesday, tied of opening doors to sagging door nets. I got them for both front and rear

Im a year into my Gladiator(it had a birthday over the weekend) and no door net sagging yet, but I and my son use the net on the back of the passenger seat a good bit. Is it as common for these nets to wear out and get saggy as well?

The nets on the back of my seat are covered with seat covers......so its been a non-issue for me

Install an oil catch can. I have read so many recommendations on here about how important it is to have one.

That is one im thinking about as well. Seems like a smart idea.

As planned, I figured I'd update the thread that she got new shoes today

I found some 2024 17" Mojave Takeoffs with Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70R17 all terrains and had those installed! Results are a lot better than I expected. Adjusted the toe in to 1/8" and centered the steering wheel -- I've got an OBD Reader and security cable on the way tomorrow to correct the tire size and went ahead and had the shop put in new TPMS sensors since I've got a 2020.

Off to do differential fluid front & rear & a good wash this weekend and then figure out what my next mod is.

Replace my soft tri-fold tonneau cover with a aluminum flip up tri-fold cover. Plan on doing lots of road trips in retirement and this hard cover will give us a bit more security. And adding 3/4" spacer up front to level it out.

Mine don't sag either, but I only put Dude Wipes and dog poop bags in mine.

Gonna change tranny fluid soon. Thinking about changing the oil pan to a PPE heavy duty tranny oil pan.

Just finished it. Initial test drive my tranny fluid temp is in the low 160s. It was usually hovering in the mid 180s to low 190s. We'll see what happens going up a 6 mile 7% grade going to work on Tuesday.
