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

[IamAlan]

Installed an AVS Aeroskin II bug deflector.

In addition to the alcohol pads to clean the hood, there is a "surface prep" pad that is not in the installation instructions or shown in any of the on-line videos. I called AVS and it is a new prep to be used after the alcohol "in order to promote adhesion." 3M 111 VHB tape primer would be my guess.

I've wanted a vehicle like this for nearly 20 years. ? Thank you!

Check out the new Harley paint called Snake Bite! You will dig it I’m sure.

Got her wrapped. ?

Looks great! What size tire for the general grabbers? How do you like them?

275/70r18, about 33in., barely larger than the stock. I wanted the beefier look of AT tires because it came with the bridgestone All Season. I love them. They may look a little goofy if I do too much of a lift in the future, but I like the look of them and they drive nicely. No experience with them in snow though, just rain so far, in case you're looking for a reference there. Road noise also isn't an issue for me because I play my music loud.

Installed (two screws) a bullitpoint cell phone mount. This may be overboard with three mounts. Figured 1 for my cell, one for GoPro (have to buy a camera) and one for my wife cell. Now I got to get a GoPro. My wife says she will hold her phone as she has for the past 20 plus years. What do you think?

Wheels finally came in after quite a wait. So went forth with Mopar lift , Fuel wheels and Toyo tires.

I lowered the rear of my glad with the mopar lift. Now I’m thinking the higher rear will help to help prevent bumper drag when off reading. Looks good what size tires do you have?

Thanks man. They’re 35’s.

Installed my Wouxun KG-1000g 50watt gmrs radio. Mounted the base under the driver's seat then ran power through a bank of switches I installed under the steering wheel. Face plate was mounted right above rear view mirror.
Next I put friction tape on my rock rails. Having slipped off it when it was wet was enough for me.

That's what my wife said

Yeah, my wife gets pissed when I fix a problem she didn't know she had. They're funny that way. ?‍

Laid under it at 6:00am this morning fixing a body mount nut. Well worth it in the end though.

May I ask how you mounted the radio head above the mirror? I have an Icom head I may want to relocate. Thanks.

The radio face plate came with a mount that I used self tapping screws into the Jeeps removable cover behind the mirror. I did this on purpose so if I ever wanted to put it back to stock that cover looks to be no more then $30.
