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

[WILDHOBO]

My goal is to have everything on wheels that touches the ground (home gym the exception). The one shelf I built violates that, but it's not the end of the world, only 1 leg actually touches the ground. The other leg sits on the concrete footer that goes around the entire garage.

I just need to isolate the home gym so I don't gaze out into the mess of the garage and get distracted and discouraged.

Agreed. Everything off the floor possible. Everything else movable.

Forgot to post this but went to Moab over Halloween. @Shibbyjeep your old shocks made it after all.

Took my father on law about halfway into Hells Revenge then did some of the alternative routes back out due to the lateness. Sunday did Wipeout Hill sans the hill itself. Absolute blast of a trail, would recommend. (Doing it from the parking lot to the start is the way to go.) Then took the back roads out to D2700 (Lost World). Pretty decent trail but the drive to get there is brutal regardless how you get there.

Overall loved driving in the sand and had another great weekend. My brother wants to do more biking so will probably be back in the Spring.

Over the past few evenings (as parts arrived) I installed a Wolfbox G930 on our Gladiator. With the Motobilt bed and tire mounted the factory mirror was useless.
I opted for the smaller 10” 930 so I could utilize my sun visors without moving the mirror.
Very happy with the end result, my only minor complaint is I wish the wires came out from behind the unit rather than on top for those of us that use an OEM style mount.

Watch out there is a toolbox back there.

The divers in South Texas are probably the worst in the nation, and that's not an exaggeration. My wife's Jeep has been backed into 3x at her work just in the last 6 months, the rear bumper shroud is a mess, and she parks about as far away as she can. At least we can get images, plates hopefully, next time it occurs. The 360 view also gets front side and cabin all at the same time, plus rear camera adds behind, and can be rotated and viewed even after being recorded. The proximity sensor picks up everything 10' out from the center of the Jeep.

This thread has gotten super slow, did everyone finish their trucks? lol

During my week of being furloughed I got a couple things done;

1) I taped everything I could think of in the truck to try and pinpoint where my damn whistle noise is coming from, and I STILL HAVEN"T FOUND IT!!!!! I taped the doors, door windows, freedom panels, hard top, various holes in the cab from bolts that aren't being used.... everything I could find. The only thing I didn't tape off was the rear window because the cap and tent are blocking access. My rear window leaks so I did the silicone hose trick to stop it, but I'm now wondering if I'm getting enough air leak through the window seal that it's causing the whistle?

2) I build my proof of concept drawer system in the bed to test out. The drawers themselves are pretty much done, I need to add a couple dividers once I dial in how I want them packed. The drawer box/frame is temporarily built out of 1/2 BCX plywood so I can test fit and determine how I really want it, and then I'll build the final product out of 3/4 Birch. The top slideout is also a test product, it's from my previous failed attempt at a bedslide, but it works great for testing fitment and clearance space. I'll rebuild that using steel tube framing and diamond plate decking.

I've got a short trip to Missouri next weekend to test it out. Not that theres really much to "test", really i just want to see if theres anything that annoys me about it before building the final version.
