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

[DougM55]

Worked on a rear end rattle. Ok, this is too dumb and simple to NOT tell. So, I was noticing a rattle every time I went over big bumps and railroad tracks. Thinking the factory didn't tighten something in the rear suspension (because I haven't installed my 1" pucks yet) or the frame/bed itself. So, I jack er up high, set the frame down on jack stands, and get to hunting. 30 minutes checking every damn bolt and nut. Nothing remotely loose. Confused, I jack er up, pull the stands, and go to release the jack. As I'm pulling the jack out, I bang my hand on my D-ring receiver plug. RATTLE!!! Yuuup, the damn hitch recovery plug had worn just enough paint off of it, to make it a little loose. No more rattle, it's behind the seat with the rest of the recovery gear

How have the red anodized wheel caps held up as far as fading? Thought I saw one local that looked a bit faded, but maybe it was just dirty lol, either way those have been the front runners for me

They look real good cleaned up. They do get dusty, which I think may make them look faded. But they've held up nicely so far.......about 8 months in.

Just finished this wrap and new gladiator badge install.

What wheels are those? They style looks stock but not the all black color.

I actually did it the other day, but I installed take off Rubicon Fox shocks on my overland. Huge improvement. The ride is so much more controlled and stable but it still has a great ride.

They are launch edition wheels

Don't care who it triggers.

Is that 3D or just a decal, it looks kind of 3D. I dig it, not sure about the placement but.....looks cool!

Thanks!

It's actually a magnet from a company called Tactilian - I got two flags and 2 blue line inserts. I had actually planned to put them on the side of the front just above the "Jeep" and "Gladiator" logos (where people often have flag stickers), but apparently that panel is aluminum so I ended up putting them behind the rear doors since that was one of the few places I found steel that the magnets would stick to, haha.

Thankfully, I think they look pretty cool there and they seem to be decently balanced when you see the whole truck:

And if it does offend someone......F*** 'em!
