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

Hold up! Please tell me that the wheel wells in the bed make 4x8 sheets sit flat with the tailgate at mid height?

Ok. The wheel wells in the bed make 4x8 sheet goods sit flat with the tailgate at mid height.

I cut a piece of 2x4 and placed it in the notches of the bed close to the cabin, then stacked 2 more pieces in the notches closer to the rear.

Today I Installed the twin ARB compressor under the rear passenger seat. I fabricated a mounting plate from 1/8 aluminum that attaches where the two bolts holding the plastic storage bin in place go. I created an extension harness that attaches to the ARB harness and routed it along the frame rails and up through the rear seat drain grommet. The purple ARB trigger wire is connected to one of the Aux switches I installed last weekend. Lastly I assembled a 4 tire air up/down system similar to those available commercially.

I cut a 45 at the corners of the bottom 2x4 for a better fit.

Installed a new hitch and rear bumper after being rear-ended by a rubbernecker last week. Magnum Raptor on sale at carid for $366. Stout!

I'll try to put something together this week. I didn't document anything during the process but I can go back and grab some photos and maybe a few Amazon links. The goals were 1) No holes in my new Gladiator! 2) Make it as simple as possible.

My wife just bought a used pop up trailer today, we Zoomed the buy to make sure I am good with it, picking it up later tonight, but now need to find a brake controller for the Gladiator. Any recommendations since the factory controller still isn't out in the wild yet? https://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/2010-coleman-americana-expandable-trailer-floorplan-utah-tr7978

Curt Echo wireless bluetooth controller... I had problems with a Tekonsha and Curt wired controllers that caused issues with the Gladiator electronics (stop/start and traction control would error out, brakes in trailer wouldn't work unless i triggered with the manual override first)

Added the 1/4" aluminum engine and transmission skid plate by @asfir_offroad

This skid plate is an incredible value for one solid piece to cover a vulnerable area.

Super easy install, and perfect fitment.

Just started a thread for those doing some research as there's little to no info out there.

Your dealer didn't show you the 2x4 trick? My sales guy told me exactly what was needed, how to arrange them, etc. He knew these trucks.
