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

[Jdyowa]

Added matte black Gladiator hood decals. Modified and installed Speed Dawgs shifter knob kit so it would fit my old green skull knob. This was a shifter I picked up at Walmart 7 or so years ago for my 2012 JK. Always loved that guy, so when I traded it in for my Gladiator, I made sure I swapped it back with the OEM knob. Speed Dawgs knob kit is for a threaded style knob, but some very minor machining and it fits these slip on style knobs perfectly. The bonus is you don’t have to worry about getting the adapter oriented, you just line up the slip on knob and tighten it up.

That's cool but a gladiator helmet/head would be bitchin

Installed the Core 4x4 adjustable track bar yesterday. Feels pretty damn solid. Fairly easy install.

Nice, just wish they had a cut out for rearward facing cube lights. I don’t know why so many manufacturers fail to include this feature. They would surly get used far more often then rear bow shackles that everyone includes. SMH,

Installed my Midland MXT275 GMRS radio and antenna. Tested it out with an extra handheld I had, and it works great.

Which hood mount did you use here and where do you mount the main unit?

Part 2 of the $60 upgrade

For the antenna mount, I used this one:

I mounted the main unit under the carpet along the transmission tunnel.

Installed Tazer Mini. Fixed the TPMS range, stopped the fast flash on my AAL fender turn signals, and disabled ESS. Also changed the Sport to a Rubicon on the splash screen because, why the hell not?

Did this increase the height of the seat?

Yes it raises the rear of the seat.

Installed Rusty’s LCA frame side skids. Did not have to mod the holes. On one side the control arm hole moved 50% and would not correct with a metal pry bar. I was able to line it up by putting the truck in drive and then rolled into a chock block placed at the front wheels. Lined up perfectly.

I loosened the body bolts in anticipation of getting ACE rails during black friday......and remembered to tighten them up again. It was really warm for IL so I figured I would take advantage of the weather and do the potentially difficult part In shorts.

I did the same a few days before I drove up to Ace and picked mine up. I'M not sure if it was necessary but I ordered the front two body bolts from my dealer. I wanted to replace them after putting all that toque on them getting them out. I cleaned all the red locktite off and added some blue before I reinstalled them.

Added some Rokblokz mud flaps in anticipation for the coming winter slush.

Haven’t seen those, aren’t too many rears with integrated steps!

A day late, but I replaced the halogen bulbs across the front. I left the fog lights alone fr now since I intend to switch the whole bumper soon.

I also picked up a set of Rub rails. Planning on lifting it myself on Wednesday along with adding the rails and getting my new wheels/tires out on - Movjave take-offs.
