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

[tweak89]

I repaired a rock chip in my front windshield today!

Due to being on furlough, I'm doing what I can to save money. So, I used a rain x repair kit ($10 at Wal-mart) with rather astounding results to repair a rock chip I got on Saturday. Our deductible on glass coverage is high to keep our rate low, which is why I went this route.

The pictures below were taken with my window shade in place.

First picture is a professionally repaired ding that cost me $70 a few months ago. While it has still visible defects it hasn't grown any. It was about a quarter sized ding.

Below is the one I did today. It was very similar to the one that was repaired by a shop. It was about quarter sized ding with some "star" defects. After the repair, you can barely see it, it's the fuzzy dot in the middle. MUCH better looking than the pro job.

Look great. Did you name Gus after a Mule that kicked field goals

Ha! Forgot about that. Actually, one of my kids came up with it. They all have names for their Jeeps and insisted I name this one of mine.

Well a hail storm about 3 weeks ago beat the hell out of the Truck. Yesterday...I dropped it off to get hail damage repaired and make a few upgrades. Pics to come in about 2 weeks.

Not today, but over the weekend installed a pair of Amber Baja Design LP9s, and the Vision X Reverse Lights.

For the LP9's I setup the high beam to Aux 1, low beam to Aux 3, and the amber light to the Daytime Running Lights using a Quadratec DRL Adapter Wiring Harness. Pretty nifty setup that went fairly smooth considering what I read online.

The Vision X Reverse Lights are currently tapped into the reverse and ground wiring from the trailer/tow adapter. I have future plans to also tap into cargo light with a diode, but the complexity of that was something for another day.

Oh, also finally got my vanity plates!

Unboxed my magnum rear bumper. This thing is pretty heavy. I wonder what the weight difference is compared to the sport bumper. Unfortunately I have to wait to get it installed because I'm getting body work done and no point putting it on if it's gonna come right off again.

Finally received the 2.5" Fox Performance Elite series for the rear. I'm not sure why they changed the name/look of the shocks since I installed the fronts six months ago but it's nice to be able to firm up the rear with all the added weight.

Added my side steps. Doesn't make it easier to get in or out, but will for my 11 year and wife. So it will be worth it. Don't care for the mounting hardware, but then this won't see any serious off road for years.

i change my jl for a brand new goby gladiator....

After making a quick mounting bracket, I added a lockable storage box to the bed.

What are the details on the box? Where did you get it?
