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

[Tim]

Tried to find a place to put my sunglasses........... put a snow brush and ice scraper in it.

I got this and this. Sunglasses fit in the first one perfectly which keeps them above and away from all the other stuff that will scratch them up.

Yep! Overall, a solid product.

Wow, thanks - when I clicked I saw those, plus other neat accessories like a thing that goes in the grab handle where my wife could keep her cell phone and a piece that attaches to the right side to the right of the shifter for stuff - neat stuff. LOL - my wife has been asking me to start a Christmas list.........
Thanks for the ideas - I had an organizer tray for my Silverado she got me for Christmas years ago and I loved it - this is good ideas.

I took off my SPORT sticker.

So how did you get it off?

Not really to the Gladiator specifically but FOR it - the hitch pin I've used for years with my other vehicles, more recently, the Chevy truck I had, was looking crappy - a bit of rust, the zinc plating was partly worn off the pin was rusty and hard to get in and out of the hole, the washer was messy looking so I cleaned and nickel plated it. I was all set up doing some plating for customers, and ramping up for plating some wiper motor parts (zinc mostly) and since I had the plating rectifier going and stuff just generally set up, I did these three pieces in nickel. I couldn't stand the thought of that rusty marked up looking thing in the Jeep's nice clean shiny receiver.
I decided to do nickel instead of zinc as it should keep the shine a bit longer.
I've had this thing for at least three trucks worth of time.

My fingernails. Took awhile, and some frustration.

3M makes a decal remover that works well on original factory car paints (not on cars that have been touched up or repainted with old-school paint) It's made for removing automotive decals.
A slight bit of heat also makes them easier.

Used the FlashCal to reprogram tire pressure sensors and speedometer for the new 35s. Took for a test run using Torque Pro running on my Nexus 7 to readout the GPS speed and it matched perfectly with the Jeep speedo. Tire ground to shoulder height was 33", so that's what I used for perfect results.

Bumper installed .

Did you reuse the factory skid plate?

Hard Rock Rails (angled up) installed and a couple weeks ago got the LoD signature series mid width on.

Been trying to think of a decent plate for mine - Iowa allows 7 characters, I think they stopped allowing a 0 though as I had 70JAVLN for the car I sold and I when I looked to see about doing another plate with a 0 they didn't allow it. I guess 0 and O look too much alike?
Anyway, gonna have to brainstorm on this a while.

Don't tell me that's salt brine stuff under that plate? Hope not.

Oh you know it. Just a little Illinois love!

I suspect Illinois and Iowa share brine recipes - looks like it. That stuff will eat our vehicle alive. You likely had the same early snow and fun stuff we did.
