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

[Mikeaviator13]

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 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?

Todays Upgrades.
Pictures taken fresh off the alignment rack and then after a drive to a friend’s house today.

Added:

1.5 TeraFlex Leveling,

Quadratech Morphic Wheel 17x8.5 with 5.2 Back space (+10 mm Offset)

Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75/17 also marked 34x11.50

Perfect Fit. Couldn’t be happier. Tires are 90% quieter than the stock 255/75/17 BFG K02’s

Adjusted for tire size with Superchips programmer and head lights with my pre mark walls.

Other mods last week.
Vader Grill
Westin HD Steel Side steps
Mopar Passive Entry Kit (Best mod so far)
Boom Mat for hard top
Undercover Flex Tri Fold Hard Tonneau Cover
15% Tint on front sides then 70% ceramic on all except front.

2021 Gladiator Willys 8.4 Nav, Alpine and the Select Trac transfer case. Love all wheel drive in the rain. No more fish tailing the back end.

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!

I installed my winch late last night that came in yesterday. It is a super tight fit. Also finally putting a 35 on my spare today.

 

[Rubi_Rhod]

Got my Trigger Wireless switch installed along with Rugged Ridge Headlight guards, and some colorful shackles.

While I got the switch in and wires ran, the lights still arent here, so gotta exercise this thing called “patience” or something.

I’ve been spying a lot of rigs on the thread and decided to jump in. Thanks for the inspiration

picked up an 80th Ann model and upgraded from there.

Got some bumpers/winches/lights planned out but in ‘hold’ mode waiting for the UPS truck :/

Work I Progress!

What kind of window rain guards are those? I've wanting to get some but I figured I'd wait until the warm weather hits so it bonds better.

Mid-width Fishbone front bumper and a 10K WARN EVO winch on my 20 Overland. Next up, front leveling and some window tint!
