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

[khokhonutt]

Upgraded my bed storage with the JCR Offroad Molle system and Power Tank racks for my CO2 tanks. The racks were a little more than I wanted to spend, but they're the best solution out there and I should only have to buy them once.

I'm very happy with the quality of the JCR Offroad setup. I'm also happy that everything tucks neatly under the tonneau cover. Next I'm going to get some bulk nylon straps and clips, so I can secure the tool bags along the sides, rather than using the ratchet strap. But for now this works.

Ordered my 2nd mod about an hour ago...

Ordered the new Skyjacker G250MSB 2.5”/1.0” suspension lift.

Since I no longer have a shop with a rotary lift, and all my tools are in storage, a local shop owner that I know (I buy tires & wheels from him) offered to put it on for me for $100 to help me out.

I ordered my first mod today... Jeep (Mopar) all-weather floor mats. They should be here next week.

Love mine, but did not want to install through floor like the are designed for and since we do not get snow it was not a big deal. So I had to purchase to new plugs from Mopar to fill the holes, tried Quadratec with no luck.

Daystar 1.5” level kit install with shock extenders. Search the YouTube video on this you will need to drill another hole in your driver front shocks mount Bc the bracket daystar gives totally doesn’t line up. At all... it’s worth it to just drill it out and only takes another 5 min. Looks great to me factory wheels and tires for now. 35” tires and wheels and the mopar 2” lift are coming soon.

go rhino DSS sliders steps. They are body mounted and the directions are horrible. Go to quadratec and find their own instructions which are soooo much better.

First test run with the 35s and the supercharger. Ran with a few glitches. Check engine popped on with a “too rich” code. We should have it done with the exhaust being installed next week. Also did the Mopar bumper.

Overall the power is awesome. Just need that exhaust to get the little lag I have to smooth out. Going to replace the tires with BFGs. I thought the tires were a bit noisy over 50. Also I will get a hardtop in the future that should help a bit more. Did a 1 1/2” rear, 2” front puck lift. I might back that down since it might screw up my plowing setup. I already made the adjustment with the 35s.

As we tweak the tune, the interesting part is that I'm getting 18mpg with the added power. We did adjust the speedo, and I do drive on the aggressive side. We'll see how it holds up with the added changes.

Which supercharger did you go with?
Are you having any dyno done for results?

Awesome wheels. I was going to keep my JL stock...but now my credit card is melting....

Couldn’t agree more.

I tried to spool my winch back up today and it didn't go well. From my memory when I took it off of my JK I had no problems. Now the set screw that holds the tail end of the cable to the winch has snapped off . Now I have to figure out what to do. I am thinking that the set screw is no big deal and that I should just spool it up without it and not spool out my synthetic rope part a certain point.

Do you think thats a bad idea?

Got all the Led swaps done on the JT last night. Hikari Headlights, Sylvania as evo 7443 led Bulbs for the DRL and Loyo Foglights for the Fogs. Pretty impressed and only cost me $85 to get it done which really makes me happy. Still figuring out what I want to do about the Turn signals but I'm happy with how this turned out

Finally added my added my wheels and tires. They totally change the look of my gladiator. Now everything is gray or black on my rig. Wheels are Mickey Thompson side biter wheels and the tires are Mastercraft MXT 285 7017. I’ve used these tires on other trucks in the past and had great luck with tread wear.

Love those wheels. You wasn't quite blacked out so I helped you out.

Just got my gladiator suspension done and took it out for the first drive. Got 2 thumbs up driving around town with new mods.Really drove nice with the Rubicon lift, Fox shock/steering stabilizer, Tazer mini, 35”s.

Looks killer. How do you like the bumper?

Interested to know this as well. My Magnuson is installed, pick her up on Monday.

I did that exact same thing on my JKU and didn’t have any problems. With synthetic at least if the line comes off it isn’t going to fly off and smack someone. I only let out 25 feet or so of winch line most times anyways, leaving 75 feet or so wrapped around the drum.
