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

[jsalbre]

Built electric hard top hoist (harbor freight hoist) and misc hardware

Do you have any more details on this build? I need to figure something out for when my JT shows up.

PC has BlueTooth... why not stash the PC behind the plastic directly under the steering column.
No need to have it out ....

That's a good idea. Thanks

Actually did this Sunday morning. Met up with JohnnyUtah and purchased his Mohave wheels and Falken Wildpeak MTs. I think they make the truck look so much better than the stock Sports S silver wheels.
Next up, leveling kit (once I make up my mind on which to order). Any suggestions on this will be greatly appreciated.
Before and after shots.

Looks good! These wheels and tires look much better.

I didn't really want to spend $300+ on a fridge slide, so I took some wood and made a fridge holder. Threw a sheet of acrylic plastic under the fridge to help it slide, and my wife wanted to put some color on it, so she painted a mountain scene for me. Checked out the Smitybilt XL RTT and am now ready to go for our Utah trip coming up.

This I like! That is honestly ultracool, your wife did an impressive job, a major improvement to a solid color surface.

I got these little wire adhesive stick ons for my pedal commander. I'm not sure where exactly I want to mount it yet but at least the slack is out of the pedal area.

I put mine right in front of the 4x4 shift with some 3m tape, i know it has bluetooth but it is a pain to have to get out phone and use app while driving easier to just hit selection.

Not today but Saturday...I installed my rubi takeoffs and 1.5" front leveling kit. Now it sits like it should from the factory...It's been a little lifted, leveled and tinted. I'm loving it!

So even with the Rubicon takeoffs you still need the 1.5" level kit? I am about to do front Rubicon springs to my max tow and shocks all around. Trying to debate if I'd need the full 1.5" or less. I do have an aftermarket bumper and winch there already as well.

I got the Terraflex 1.5" and am happy with the lack of rake now. Also got the same Revolver x4s tonneau cover @mdyucca got and love it.

I'm torn between the Tera flex, and the alloy usa. I am leaning on the alloy because it comes with the shock extension brackets.... not sure why the Tera flex doesn't.

Teraflex comes with bump stop extensions instead which, IMO, are more important than shock extensions for a small spacer lift. Mine rides great with the Teraflex and bumper/winch.

Cleaned the bed and bedslides (still had Moab dust from the White Rim Road from last year), lubed up the slide bearings. Cleaned the water tank and lines. Then put all our overloading equipment back on and went for a quick overnight trip with some van friends to stretch the legs...

-propane
-water tank/pump
-fridge
-bedrack tent etc

Dude your mods are always so awesome. You really need to keep a build thread to help people.
So, it’s ok to admit it. Did the big Ford van hold its own off-roading and camping?

Tera flex is the main one I've been leaning toward. Should have gotten up with you, met him in Asheville to swap tires. I'll be back up there to pick up stocks in several weeks. May get up with you on next trip.

Thanks much!! Looks like a different truck now. The wider tires also helps with control since having two steering gear replacements.

Thanks! When life slows down a bit I’ll work on a build thread but unfortunately I didn’t document much as I went along.

The spot we went to wasn’t too far off the highway. I didn’t need 4wd and the van did just fine, it was actually a spot they hit up quite often

Drove it home 3 hrs from where it's been parked for 60 days while at work. Only too realize, IT'S RAINING HERE TOOOO!!!!!! Can't get away from bi-polar weather and it's pissing me off lol.

Finally had a chance to install my fridge slide. I should have gotten a smaller fridge instead of my 65L. Didn't realize how small the bed is.

I know! I got a deal on 75DZ dometic. It is huge..... oh well I own it now haha.
