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

[Benbean66]

What mattress is this? I like the low profile

It's just a full sized foldable 4" memory foam "couch/mattress" from Walmart (I think). It's a little long but I fold the extra up against the front of the bed, to help protect the dogs in case of a panic stop.

Put EGR matte black window visors, hopefully it will help with the drip. i have these on my JK also. They are not smoked where you can see through them. And i overlayed my Jeep with a Gator skin, I had made.

I installed my new hitch skid plate and use a Bolt lock which is keyed to my Jeep key. The clearance underneath was too tight to fit the tightener in a normal position so I flipped it and “voila”! I had to slide it all on together and then tighten it down. I personally like how little clearance it had underneath. Means it’s about as high as possible in the back to avoid obstacles (if possible).

For the curious, I found it all on Amazon.

Is that lock specially ordered so that you could have someone key it to your jeep fob. Or can anything be done with that same idea. I hated having multiple keys for locked items.

There a lock brand called Bolt which sells locks specific to different key shapes. The first time you stick your key in, it sets the lock to that key. They’ve got hitch pin locks, padlocks, bike locks, etc. They’re pricier (about 2x), but worth it to me. Just search Amazon for something like “bolt lock center cut jeep”.

Awesome. Thanks so much. It will definitely be worth the lil price bump for me.

Make sure you get the right one that fits your new Jeep key, not an older version!

So this is an I. Going to do but I need your help! I have a set of the Gatekeeper Knuckle Light Pot Mounts but can figure out what the torque specs are for them. I have the mounts and some pods. Can anyone help me out on how to figure it out?

Are those the hub/bearing bolts? 75ft-lbs?

Looks good! Did you consider the all black or black/gray versions of the badge?

Black is too glossy for me...and the other one (gray/black) is the one I put on...same one!

What type of difference? Any tuning along with it ? Or other mods?

Its made a difference for sure, based on a 200mile route i drive frequently, its held a gear higher on 5 hills that were marginal down shifts. Dyno’s ive found from chargers using it showed 7-10 across the board. So nothing you can “feel” but something that can be evaluated for sure.

I already had mopar intake w/ larger afe filter, awe 3” exhaust, and a pulsar tuner. I would not recommend it without doing at least an intake, but pairing it with one would work well. And it’s going to work great with my supercharger this summer.

Wheels and tires arrived from the east coast today. Swapped them out, adjusted TP and set up the tazer for just a hair over 36, they measured 36 1/4” mounted with 36psi on 9” rims, 35” with weight on them. Then went on a bike ride to the lake with friends, got home, loaded up the Gladiator and test drove her. Ride is plush but tight, no wandering on freeway even at 75. Held 8th as well as the 35’s did, weird because the RPMs were lower. MPH was 72 on odometer and 73 on handheld GPS. I think I can lay off the red accessories for a while! Best of all, the Wify is happy!
