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

[Alabama Mud Machine]

Installed the black face plate that Chris from iDrive sent me. Looks WAY better now than the white faceplate on there. Looks more discreet.

Had to move my arb twin compressor from the engine bay to under the passenger seat. So I got an arb seat bracket and got it installed... took way longer than expected. But hey! Air for the queen!

ps... more picture in my build thread.

Why did you have to move your compressor out of the engine bay?

With the help of @DMC1 - installed a Synergy Front Track Bar and Sector Shaft Brace on Saturday. I previously upgrade the steering stabilizer.

Can't say I feel a major change in steering, but it felt a bit stiffer on the way home. That could be mental though..... justifying my purchases/installations. I will say it is a beefy brace and will definitely stop any flex.

Gave mine a good wash yesterday and added a stubby antenna and flag decal.

Reinstalled the Factory tie downs in the corners of the bed. Did t even know I had these until the other day when I was looking through the dash. Stripped out the bolt on the passenger side one because it was full of bedliner. Ended up getting it installed but it took some muscle to get it done. It may never come out again but I'm not planning on removing them. Hit both tie downs with some bedliner so they would match the rear tie downs and cover up the scratches I put on the passenger side ones. Now my OCD can move to other Jeep related things.

Let's trade! I love your jeep. The wheels and color are absolutely perfect!

Got my Fab Four Sliders installed over the weekend. Tomorrow it gets the spray in liner done.

my falcon 3.3 shock resi hit the bracket holding the compressor. I wasn’t changing shocks, so the compressor had to be moved.

My vinyl decals arrived ... mtn biker, rock climber, and "Adventure Begins Where The Road Ends" circle. (Etsy)
I also received the 1.5'x5' roll of satin black vinyl wrap to measure/mask, cut, and apply to the inset area near the front fender flare as well as the 'ribbon' above and below the 'adventure' decal in the rear. (Amazon)

Youtube videos of vinyl wrap application make it look reasonably easy. While I'm happy with the result, the recessed area behind the fender flare pushed my youtube education to the limit.

Replaced the front sash speakers today, with Kenwoods. Also filled the roll bar with poly fill. Sound is so much louder, clearer and more crisp. Really good mod for the stock audio system!

I planned to take photos throughout the process, but got to rolling and forgot haha... so here is the stock speaker and a tools shot as well as a cool shot of my truck!

[Timdog]

I also added a few interior pieces as well...

 

[Tortoise788]

Not the greatest picture, added the hood graphic and had the front tinted to match the back windows

I took off my roof for the 1st time today and rode around for a while. Forgot to take pics It was great! Everything I hoped it would be.

Satin Clear - got it. Thx

I used this stuff on my bar recently. Loved that I didn’t need to sand and re-apply. 3 coats and even that was overkill.

Poly fill reduces the standing wave inside a box.

simple terms... makes your speaker perform better while it’s in a sealed environment.

idiot’s guide:
Are you basically just unscrewing existing speaker housing and jamming it in there? It is all open in between the speakers and the lighting?
