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

[Bacon]

Painted Lug Nuts to match other blue grille accents.

How does this paint stand up to the socket?

I know what *a* beadlock does. Just wondering exactly what *those* beadlocks do?

Is it intended of keeping the tire from coming off the rim?
Because most of the time, when you air down, the tire comes off the bead and sits in the middle of the rim, not off the rim.

Allows for airing the tires down a lot more for offroading.

Are you talking about the rock ring where it extends toward the ring in the center? That keeps deep wheels from hanging up on big rocks. Kind of a wheel bumper if you will.

Installed two new NMO brackets and ran some cable... one because my wheeling crew is on GMRS and the 25% off midland was enough to get a mounted radio, and the other because that it'll probably be fine antenna for my dual bander wasn't actually fine and actually gouged my paint when it caught a tree and bent the shit out of the mount. Shit happens but it'll be a compactenna this time around so it doesn't happen again.

Need more info please - pics or it didn't happen...

In my case also helps protect the portruding hubs(mostly up front) One of these days when I recover from back surgery I'll get to go out and play in the Rocks. The owner of our JLU with the same axles/wheels swears by them.

If you get hooked on the Oxy's I'll gladly give you some cash for some parts off that beast of a rig you have

About the damage or the compactenna haha.

Dropped mine off at dealer today to install the Mopar Big Brake Kit - new front and rear rotors, calipers and brake lines!!!

The MOPAR BBK fits and is an improvement?

No, not at all. It was identical front rotors and calipers. Worse rear rotors (non vented). It would be an upgrade to some lower level (non rubi) Wranglers.

I ended up spending a little more than intended and going with Wilwood.

Just dropped our JT off at Beyond Wraps to get fully wrapped with a color change and a cool design with our logo. Huge plans for our Gladiator coming in the next 2 months.

After the Jeep is finished with the wrap we take the truck over to Edelbrock headquarters to let them test their E-force supercharger and much more.

Now... that Edelbrock comment is one I am very interested in!

I went with Edelbrock on my JKURX and am looking at the Magnusson while waiting to see what Edelbrock is going to do with the Glladiator.

 

[Backwoodsraider]

Awesome! That's good to know. I spent hours looking for one but I wasn't crazy about the ones that leave the tires totally exposed. Do you have any pics I'm getting anxious. I have a ton of stuff ordered but nothing's moving.

There's a pic on here that I posted. Nothing in phone anymore

It got scratched up pretty good so i touched up with a small brush!

A little farkle for the tires:

How did you do that?

 

[Membrain]

Both!
Curious about the new compact antenna too...

Yeah,... I was reading the posts in order and eventually caught up with your conversation. I do enjoy the MOPAR BBK on my JKURX and was initially curious about the "JT" version... no worries, all is good.

Oh, and I finally made it to the most recent post(s) of this thread...
