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

[Fenny]

Today I added some mud from a rain soaked seasonal use road near me. Some are as rugged as an off road trail.

Pixel decal came in today. I think I’ve accomplished the goal of breaking up all the red:

Before:

After (plasti dipped locks & hinge covers, side vent vinyl) :

My son helped me plastidip the “Jeep” badges today, as soon as they were done, I realized we needed to do the locks...now that I’ve seen yours- OMG I LOVE the look of the black hinge covers!!

Got around installing the go rhino Stubby front bumper.
Next is deciding on what light set up and winch.

Added a lot of cheap but functional things today (totally under $400):
Tyger cover, Curt hitch receiver, cheap bike rack (that actually seems really solid though, I’m impressed. An anti wobbling plate and screw are provided, we’ll see how it does on the road), and some protection on the entry sills.

Looks great. What rack did u go with? Does it hold two bikes. I really like your set up

Awesome! Thanks for Sharing!

I'll have to spend some time studying it to get mine set up. I like overkill.... I am currently parking my Z4 under the suspended platform.

That seems like buying the lift system and adding a ton of money to it...

It's very straightforward. They're held in place by pressure created by plastic clips. I just gently popped them out with a plastic trim tool. Just go easy on them, as I could imagine they can snap.

Truthfully, I'm not sure how to upload videos here...but this picture may prove the point. They're much brighter than the factory LED turn signals. Again, I'm very impressed...and honestly I had very low expectations.

Love the look! Have you noticed any hood flutter after removing the "functional" vents?

It’s all DIY... plus I’ve never heard of anyone on this forum buying something just to add a ton of money to it - we drive Jeeps!

488's installed. Power with the 35" tires is great . Nothing but 8th gear on Interstate with small elevation changes. Great low end grunt now.

Thanks! i got this cheap rack from amazon: XCAR 2-Bike Bicycle Hitch Mount... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MCXJ21K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I used it for the first time this morning, drove about 60 miles total, I did not hear any noise at all. Installation is super easy. The rack is on the heavier side but it’s mainly due to the thicker metal they use, which after owning a few thin metal ones, I really like. It’s super sturdy. It holds 2 bikes and come with an anti vibration mechanism. I really like it (if you couldnt already tell).

After a good amount of finger yoga, got my Warn Crawler Full Width bumper installed. Mildly disappointed that my Warn Medium Grill guard wasn't compatible but still like the looks. Weighs a ton and feels oh so solid.

Today the insert and Wednesday was the decals.

Towed, launched, and recovered a 5k lb boat today! No trailer brakes (yet), and she pulled like a dream. I really need a name for this thing.

Installed a set of KC Cyclone rock lights.

Blacked out the key holes with plastidip. First time using it. I was impatient with the coats. I will redo it at somepoint.

Order sanicaps off of the bay. Plastic lock cover
