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

[FLUndertaker]

I installed my RPM tie-rod that I’ve had for months just no time to install. Set at 1/8” tow in. Then i washed the heck out of my Lucille! And entered a Jeep show in Kemah & won best Utility it was a fun day.

What was the reason for the aftermarket tie rod (and drag link)? I assume the sloppy steering. Have you had the steering gear replaced?

New reverse lights. Great fit and finish on the bracket and I like that they're standard S1 pods other than they don't come with a standard bracket. Lots more options for re-use down the road when I replace the bumper.

Brilliant.

Would you find sharing a few pictures of your truck bed rack system? I've just mounted the JCR Offraod Half Rack with Universal Basket and putting my spare tire in the rear like I think you have.

Attempted to use anti friction tape from Amazon to silence the rear two outer edge freedom panel back slide levers. They rub with rough roads and emit a horribly loud squeaking sound. Long story short tape didn't live up to it's name. Not really slippery. I Went back to putting the 3M adhesive backing paper I had left over from velcro i had used. Placed them in the slide levers while closing. They are dead quiet again. Guess back to the drawing board lol

Looks great! Do you have the part number for that rear bumper which accommodates sensors or did you simply get a rubi takeoff?

Picked up a take-off rear bumper semi-complete in “new” condition off eBay.

Got the front bumper complete, close-out panel, and skid plate new from jeep dealer.

Try using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GD49GTS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Shin-Etsu Silicone grease.
a little bit goes a long way. I had an annoying rattle/squeak where the center console lid clasp was rubbing the catch on the console and this stuff silenced it. I've used it to quell squeaks in numerous vehicles over the years. This stuff is amazing.
