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

[RatZer0]

Installed the @Redline Tuning hood supports, quality and directions are top notch. After installation the gap between the hood and fender is increased and the hood is now higher than the cowl pieces. My OCD is struggling with the gap and height difference now, will see which wins and if they stay installed.

Would the aftermarket adjustable hood latches solve your OCD? I think there are latches that can be tightened down to lower the hood, eliminating the hood shake some Jeeps have at higher speeds.

New to the forum and new to Jeep. Added a Tyger tri-fold Tonneau. Just getting started!

Thank you for the suggestion. The increased gap is at the rear of the hood and the hood sits higher than the cowl now, adjustable hood latches would not solve this issue. I have never had hood flutter on my JL nor my JT.

It's been raining a lot down here, so Just Entering Every Puddle! (More like blasting through flooded streets at the speed limit...)

Interesting, what's it do for you versus the bedliner on the tailgate already? I have a sheet of that material sitting around, could cut one up easily. I sorta dislike how "grabby" the bedliner is, but those plastic sheets are SUPER slippery, not sure which is worse.

Installed the MetalCloak leveling kit today. The tech said the track bar was a bitch but not bad other than that. It’s a 2.5 inch kit and they added 1/2 teraflex spacers in the back to keep it leveling. I didn’t do a full lift because I have 33s. I’m happy with the tires, power and mpg.
I like it so far.

‘Which cutlery set is that on your truck?
I’m looking to get the one from Front Runner but would appreciate any first hand opinions..

remove the small panel that gives access to the inside of the tailgate and cover it and the rest of the surface with this.

Tuff Stuff Awning

what made you decide on Tuff Stuff over some of the other brands. I'm currently looking into getting some for the rear and side.

Can't wait to see more!

They're online. Here is the playlist ...



And here is another trip a few weeks later to El Camino del Diablo in Arizona ...



Both playlists start with the teaser, but just hit the skip ahead button to go to the day 1 video of the trip.

Warn low grille guard, Rigid 360 6” driving pattern lights on the bumper and Rigid 360 4” spot pattern lights on the a posts. All I lack is wiring the a post lights now.

On a side note, I got the rigid lights with red back lighting to match my Jeep and they are a lot brighter than I thought they would be. I still like them but if it’s something that you want to keep on all the time while driving I would go for amber backlighting to stay legal

I'm struggling with which grill guard bar to buy. I think it's down to the Warn low or a JRC that looks mid-height. What was your thought process about it? How did you decide? Would you choose this one again now that you have it?

Also I see you put your XRC controller on top, and mine is on the side. Top mount seemed like it would crush the wires between the winch and the grille panel. How did you route your wires?

Finally decided on a bumper and grabbed a Rubicon steel skid plate off Marketplace for $50. Can't wait to get the bumper in, should be delivered Saturday or Monday.
