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

[Summitsearcher]

Attached a 2500# boat to it for a mileage test for 2200 miles beginning today. I’ll run 5 miles below speed limit and 87 octane and see how she does.

Installed the Metalcloak rear control arms amd rear track bar to match the front.

Installed MetalCloak quick disconnect sway bar links for the EVO ones that we’re starting to fail

Dropped my truck off at the local shop to have Artec truss, OX lockers, Revolution 4.88 gears, RCV ultimate 44 axle cv set, Adam’s front / rear drive shafts, Mishumoto trans cooler, PRP trans pan, Reid Racing steering knuckles, Dynatrac HD ball joints installed today.

Got a rear bumper fabricated for more clearance. Ill be trimming the body line more and adding some skid protection to the sides as well. Got tired of seeing the same stuff on the market and not enough slim or low profile bumpers out there.

very cool idea. I wonder if youd be able to fab out bed sliders that look more organic with that low profile bumper.

Is that a step in the last pic?

FAD delete on the front shafts or are you keeping it?

Wanted to do the FAD delete, unfortunately I was told it was not an option for the standard axles.

Are these pins pretty easy to pull?

They aren’t too bad to take out. I did grease the slides before putting them on.

Got the shovel/axe mounted up in the bed...

Since I have been lurking on this board, it has given me a ton of ideas and cost me a ton of money. A huge thanks to all for the awesome ideas!

I finished the cross bars for my DIY over the tonneau cover system (still working on the name). I also got the bike carrier attached. They say if you have extra parts it is because you made it better. That is what I'm going with.

Looking good, I like the vertical board clamp.
What do you have going on in the front? Looks like an air line or something, and above the axe a wand of some type?

Installed my CMM mirrors (and took the doors back off.)

Up front is the antenna wire for the ham. I couldn't find a good mount location so it went through the bed cover via a bulkhead connector. So far, it seems to work really well and has been watertight thanks to a copious amount of form-a-gasket. That wand you mentioned is just the strut to hold up the bed cover.

Sliced a knuckle open but I installed a Tazer JL Mini. I like the features but I wish you could just select your preferences while plugged into your computer and then plug it in to the Jeep. Doing it via steering wheel controls just isn't very intuitive.
