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

[BigM]

Any issues with the Mojave skid plate? I really like the looks of this bumper.

No problems at all with the bumper clearing the skid plate. Here a night time shot that shows plenty of clearance.

Installed AWE exhaust yesterday and did some initial driving today.

it sounds awesome. Easily the best sounding exhaust Ive heard for a Jeep, and one of the better of any v6 out there period.

Install was super easy. Pic below has the tools required. I did chop the stock exhaust for my convenience, and the AWE was easy to clock into place. Did it by myself in 45min. It has sound, but isnt obnoxious. It purs at idle, and wont piss off your neighbors warming up in the driveway. Im looking forward to hearing how it settles and mellows over the first 1,000 or so miles. Did a video of me talking through while installed, and a couple of pulls. Its tucked up nice and high over the axle.

it does have some sound for sure. But Im impressed with how docile it is until you stand on it. Im pretty anti exhaust noise, so its my limit of what Im ok with, but it isnt tinny or raspy. Once some mileage gets on it, i expect it to settle down some more too.

Happy to grab something else on request.

Excellent! I’ve been reading up on this exhaust and honestly that’s as ideal as it gets. I’m sold not the next mod but it’s now on the list.

Dropped it off before I go on a mini vacation. AEV dualsport 2.5” lift and a teraflex front track bar will be installed over the next two days. Everything will be complete and I pick it up after my flight home. Pretty stoked!

In a rush to get my new Rokblokz on before I had appointments to get to...only got one of the fronts on...wow these work amazingly...can anyone guess which side has the flap? LOL

I hope you where fortunate enough to install these before you chipped up your hinges. @28K miles mine are looking ruff.

its an aftermarket kit made to look oem. No ecu flash required. was actually not supposed to be prelabeled so a little annoyed. They work well otherwise and easy to install.

the brackets were some random brackets I bought that could have been any of 100 identical ones on amazon.

Looks like a good kit. Did it include a shortened tray? It doesn't show it in the product photos.

Have you tried running with both intakes open?

No...never really thought about it.

Have you tried running with both intakes open?

Not sure you can...I think the second intake (lower) does not have bolts for the snorkel - I would have to look.

Don’t you wanna put a rock rails on your Gladiator? I have a pair of Mopar rock rails I took off from my Mojave for a good ?.

 

[MadMojave]

I’m thinking about to put those small Oracle lights in the Mojave scoop vent. Do you think it would work?

 

[Rummie]

Took off the wheels and painted the centers to match the Gator.

No. I bought the shortened tray on ebay for $25 new

I added a very reasonably priced mounting system for my phones so I could transfer my RAM X mounts from my outgoing LR Disco II. I am really happy. I explained more about what I was trying to do here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...f-mounting-solutions.29207/page-5#post-647976

But here are the pictures - and yes I realize the left RAM mount is upside down. its not but it is. Damn latent OCD.

PS - pictures taken inside the garage because it is about 4 degrees outside this morning... finally!

While waiting for my Gladiator to arrive at the dealership, I picked up wheels and decided to send them out for some color. Picked them up beginning of the year and after having the tires show.... took me all of 2 days before I couldn't take it and started building my wheels. Welp, needless to say I never took them off after the test fit yesterday. I will have a lift added soon enough but until then... here is a few shots, I will take better photos over the weekend when I have more time.

Just curious - why do beadlock rings only go on the outer lip - when you air down don't you need to worry about the inner lip breaking a seal too? I'm asking because it popped into my mind and it is easy and your wheels look pretty so you must be an expert ( ? ). Sorry if there are multitudes of threads out there that explain this already. BTW - I liked your wheels polished but anodized (?) gold like that they are AWESOME!!!

Lateral loading means that the most at-risk bead is the one on the bottom of an incline. The outer only. It's extremely rare to pop an inside bead. Really super hard core wheels have dual rings, but then you have to account for clearance issues with suspension, brakes, etc.

First technical mod today.
Lift kit? Pfft, naw.
Winch and bumper?! Lol no
Snorkel? Air intake? Exhaust?!
Ha!
Back seat cover! Someone here posted about this one so I grabbed it. It's technically for doggo's but my kids are close enough to wild animals. Overall it is pretty nice actually. Amazon Link
