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

[iammacey]

Performed a much needed wash. I don't think it has been this dirty before. I love the Methods, but washing them is a pain... and the Mopar soft toneau cover holds shampoo like Scrooge holds his pennies.

Edit: I should add, I'll get to the tires later this week. And the interior was vacuumed but I'm due for a full interior detail. So I'll get to that next week!

Finally did my strip wash, clay bar, ceramic coating. Pretty happy with it.

Im way too lazy to do this…ive gotta find a shop around here. That truck looks pristine!

Please post a comparison. I’ve been leaning towards Johnny joints for flex and thinking they’d last longer than rubber joints like Metalcloak or Clayton Giiro joints, but I probably don’t rock crawl enough to justify that!

Well so far with 2 Johnny in back and 2 in front there's absolutely zero change in NVH. I need to get the other 4 installed but the truck is going into the shop for a few up grades. Maybe end of the week I can finish those out.

Put on diamondback bed cover. Sealed and waxed. Also put in headliner. This was over the last week.

Nice. I’m definitely getting on of those Diamondback Covers. I’ve eyed those since day one purchasing my JT. Can’t decide on the SE or HD model nor the smooth black or diamond plated for either. Your appears to be the smooth black correct? SE version? Looks great in any case.

I used electrical potting compound

It takes 12-24 to fully cure. I pulled both sensors out, potted them and then put it back together the next day. There’s a really good write up on the JL page about the process. You will need the compound and 3 qts of diff fluid. Having a T20 torx screwdriver makes it easier so you don’t have to remove the right side cap bolts.

Good share, thanks. Added to the work list

I went with the smooth SE diamondback cover. Since my payload is just over 1000 lbs I Wanted to keep the weight down as much as I could. The SE is lighter, and I couldn’t put much more than 400lbs up there anyway By the time I loaded up .

I went HD - no looking back - look and function great!

Installed the ARB twin air compressor on my diesel Rubicon. Decent kit, easy to install but the main harness to the batter was a pain.

How long was the wait for the compressor? Seems like theyre sold out everywhere.

Re-Bumping this here again, https://revkit.com/snozz-berry Revkit is a great place to keep track of your builds and your friends builds. Also a great link to send people with questions on your mods.

@irrelevantgoals why the anger... I am honestly curious as to your response.

@SelfmodJT From innovative at designs it took a out 3 weeks to get it.

@irrelevantgoals why the anger... I am honestly curious as to your response.

It's basically an ad

@irrelevantgoals why the anger... I am honestly curious as to your response.

Your little advertisement didn't get the recognition you thought it deserved so you made everyone look at it again with your little bump....If it's that important to you start a new thread. Just remember this is all irrelevant irl ?. Better?

It wasn't an advertisement. I have nothing to do with the revkit guys at all. All of this is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but its also a nice distraction from the BS going on in the world. I never thought that anything should or should not get recognition, of any sort, This really isn't worth a full thread. Truth be told when I get negative feedback on anything I do, I ask for clarification so that possibly if relevant I can make a positive change. It is a pretty cool site for my needs, of keeping track of whats out there, and fits in with the what did you do to your gladiator today. What's the difference.

I went with ther HD, if doing it over maybe I would go with SE (?), hard to say. Either way, a very nice sturdy cover you can stand on. After the initial install, if needed, it can be removed and reinstalled in short time.
