What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

Changed my oil @ 5k, and emptied the catch can which was

1/4 fill. That was 6 months worth.

Hauled in 16 8x16 cinder blocks to build a base for my gravity fed drip irrigation for some trees out front. This is kind of a proof of concept thing at this point. Trash can as a reservoir tapped for a 3/8 spigot on the bottom, inverted lid to catch rainwater but now it just going to be used for a weekly hose fill. That runs to a sunrise waterer on 2 AA batteries and hopefully there’s enough gravity to feed the entire line of droppers into tree spikes. I figure if I water it every day at 20-30 minutes the ground will loosen up and these trees will have a chance to thrive. It’s a chore to water enough here dragging 100’ of hose out every evening. Can’t leave it out or the squirrels will gnaw it to get to the water inside.

On Topic: even with 16 blocks in there the bed didn’t sag at all. I’m fairly impressed even though this suspension is going the way of the dodo when I get enough funds in to change it up. I did feel the load a bit but nothing too crazy. Load was up near the bulkhead right over the axle because I are smart.

Edit to add picture. Sun crazed and forgot to add it earlier

Pleasantly surprised that Drummond Island added a new badge.

Guess they scrapped the old South Marble Head Loop

That’s how you do it. SMRT smart.

Rain in the morning, mud in the evening. Apex Autolynx for the WIN!! No need to get on the ground anymore.

Little bit of all terrain on Drummond Island. Rock, boulder, shelves, ledges, water, mud....... Our favorite of the day was Walkers Trail. Morning rain made the mud a lil slick, had to plan on my long ass sliding around a couple trees. Finished a slick day without any damage, success.
