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

[Alabama Mud Machine]

Well today I got on the web and started dreaming of what I wanted to put on it. Apparently while I was dreaming I ordered me a 3" Rock Krawler Max travel suspension and Tazer JL mini.
Then continued on to order me some Vision Nemesis 17x9 gray centered wheels wrapped in 37 x 12.50 x 17 Milestar Patagonia M/T's. Now if they would all just mount themselves when I am sleeping that would be great! No really I can't wait for it to show up and get them all installed.

I love when that happens, but my bank account HATES it...

No kidding. I have a list and I am still at least a year away from thinking about buying. That may even get extended or killed all together depending on how this divorce pans out. But dreaming is so good.

Couple more pics of the rust speckles. I can't tell if they can clearly be seen, but I'll throw a clay bar on em or buy a buffing wheel.

@ciarraikerry is correct. I had the dangerous in my white JKU. Clay bar takes care of it. There is a spray on product that supposed is designed for it but it's pretty caustic. Safe on paint, but lot of other warnings.

Clay bar worked for me, but had it do it again in a couple of years

It happens... I have wishlists I've had for YEARS. Slowly chipping away at them. But the only problem is that over time, you discover more shit to add to them... So it never goes away.

Being a Taurus, it's natural for me to be a monetary type of person, but I've worked really hard to break that spell. I still like nice things, but my mindset has changed. Now my main goal is life is to win the heart of my beautiful Slav girl, and put a ring on her finger, and settle down. I still like having a nice truck, and some nice stuff, but it's no longer my main priority in life...She is.

Id see about a warranty fix first...as long as they dont try to just repaint those specific spots you may be able to get a better clear coat applied after the warranty paint work is done

my wife’s engagement ring was $70 And our total wedding band cost ( hers and mine) was $250. We spent the majority of what would have been an overpriced eye sore of a ring on a killer honeymoon and a down payment on our first house. Spend money where you get the most out of that expense.

best of luck!

My future woman is also not a very superficial person...Despite us both being Taureans. She's so down to earth it's unreal. The Symbolic nature of it to her would mean more than something shiny that cost a lot. She's amazing and a rare bird for sure.

Thanks for the heads up and for looking out bud! I’ll pull the stock and try the dual set up.

Tried running just the dual and it was pretty sloppy at highway speeds so today went back to just the stock stabilizer for now. It handled better at highway speeds with all three but the axel bracket keeps rolling forward so dampeners are rubbing on the tie rod and was getting some popping while wheeling a bit this weekend. Sending it back and ordering the bracket.

Try the Fox 2.0 TS... It stiffened up the steering feeling on mine, and I was quite impressed with the night & day difference over stock... Highway speeds it's a HUGE difference. And offroad it's noticeable how little it snatches the wheel. Everyone experiences things differently, but for me, it was worth the $218 on Amazon over the stock unit.

That's not the TS model...That's a direct-swap monotube design, and not a through-body design with neutral valving. I've heard there can be some issues with that one, but keep us updated.

Mine updated itself yesterday. I haven't had any problems. Only thing it changed was my display setting back to "Jeep 1". I just changed it back to the Jeep 8. I'm a Duke fan so I like the Blue!!!

Do you need to subscribe to Uconnect to update? Can’t really find how it’s done other then that.

What makes that not the "TS"? I was under the impression by all the threads related to it that it was. It's what I bought and I've been using it for about a month and it makes a lot of difference. The steering feel is much more improved though I have to say my wheel still doesn't return to zero after a turn, never has. I know there are different models and there is a model that goes through the whole thing, but thought that was something different.
