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

[Hydro Blue in NM]

Do you have a picture of how much the top of the rail comes off the body? Trying to see if it would be enough for a small step

My girlfriend has used them as a step. They are nice snug to the body.

does the plasti dip over spray just peel off the paint?

It won't peel off the paint on the vehicle, but it might be a little harder to get off with lighter coats. If so, a rag with WD-40 or paint thinner works. Once dried, the multiple coats normally peel off nicely though.

I had my local Jeep Slop Shop install my rear Tom Woods driveshaft & synergy track bar brace while they were at it.

How much lift do you have? I imagine that is why you got the shaft, or is the stock one inheritanly week?

Added the last of my items for a while. Mopar Tonneau Cover, Mopar slush mats and Side Sills.

Installed the @Bestop two piece doors and the Lange original mirrors. Passenger side mirror is useless with upper half of door on. Pretty good fit and some minor tweaking to be done. Overall, I am very pleased. Will run like this all summer.

I didn’t really need it with a 3” lift but i was in the rear driveshaft recall & i got tired of my dealer not having a replacement yet . So i just upgraded, the factory one is pretty strong until you go 4 1/2” lift . I’m pulling my camper this weekend & i wanted 100% reliable.

Got 35s added!

I went with Yokohama Geolandar X-ATs in 35x12.5x17 on the stock Rubicon wheels. Discount Tire had zero issues mounting the tires on the stock wheels.

Very happy with them so far - as load E tires, they are definitely more stiff than the stock 33" Falkens, but its honestly not very noticeable in my opinion. Same with the added weight, you can sort of tell but sort of not...there is plenty of power and get up, barely a noticeable difference from stock.

The tires themselves are amazing looking and quiet (I've noticed zero additional noise over the stock ATs). They also ride smooth with no vibration or anything like that that I've noticed so far. Time will tell how the tires hold up, but I think they will prove to be an excellent choice. They have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee as well as a 45k mile tread warranty, so I felt good about making the choice to try them out...my first Yokohamas!

On a side note, if anyone has any experience as far as the best air pressure to run in a tire this size, input would be appreciated! I will also be searching the forum and google for tips.

Put a SofTopper on DawgBox. I like how it completes the look!

Once in Colorado next month I'll have to get a rack to go on the outside of the topper, put a RTT on and get the heck off the road!

Are there racks that will attach over that canopy?? I haven't seen those yet! I'm waiting for the RSI Smart Canopy myself.

The fender vents are already black...not sure what you’re referring to.

Sorry - thought you mentioned decals to black out the fender vents area.

Yes, it looks like this one from Datin may fit the bill:
