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

[Willpower1]

Installed fox performance shocks (holy crap they’re a night and day improvement over the rubi shocks i had on!)

installed sumo springs front bump stops. I had 2 in front bump stop extensions but ended up not using them. The added length of the sumo springs bumps made up the difference. I will probably do a hockey puck at some point though.

also put on 2in extended front sway bar ends.

and, as usual, i ended up hurting my self while working on the truck...par for the course.

This time i punched my self in the face when I lost grip in a wrench and gave myself a bloody nose. Then shortly after wrecked my left thumb with a wrench. Just a bloody mess, which my wife thought was hilarious since I pretty much always have some errant injury. So she snapped a pic.

enjoy

Hey brother, it’s called ADHD haha! Ask me how I know. I can tell by that one picture. You’re a Tasmanian devil in human form when it comes to getting things done, and a bull in a china shop when it comes to wrecking various body parts doing it! Gotta love it! We could literally be brothers haha. Keep up the good work! What doesn’t kill us just makes us stronger

I have not reinstalled the factory skid plate yet. I attempted it but could'nt get it to fit without doing some grinding on on it. I read someone else was able to make it work by using a 10 ton jack and forcing it into place but I'm leery to try that approach.

As far as the home link goes I bought a regular led harness from tractor supply and they sold an optional remote control unit that plugged into the relay. I then just programmed the extra two buttons on my home link to the on and off on the remote. Just use the same steps as programing a garage door opener. I will probably do some kind of aftermarket switch pod down the road if I add more lights but this works fine for now.

Thank you so much! I was afraid I was going to have to do some modification to the factory skid plate!

Installed my Quadratec Bumper and got my winched hooked up for an upcoming night ride this weekend! I will have to get the grinder out to trim my factory skid plate before that can go on. I also added a couple of decals to the tailgate.

Got my 20 Overland back today - very excited. Added a 1.5 inch Teraflex level, 35x12.5R18LT Falcon Wildpeaks, 2in spacers and a Taser Mini. Big shoutout to the guys at Baldys Jeep in Cedar Park, TX for the fast turn and great job. Now...What's next!

Did you add anything to the back or just 1.5" front. Is it level now? I just got my 1.5" in the mail, waiting on shocks to arrive.

Finally got Old Glory right where it belongs!

Did you have to make any cuts or was it all bolt up? Seriously considering this as my next mod after seeing how cheap it is. How's the sound, any bad drone?

No cuts or modifications just a simple bolt-on.. It's a little loud but now that I can hear the exhaust and the shifts its obvious I need to go ahead and get the 5.38 gears I have installed..

Received my Chief Steamer 125 today. After assembly and some test cleaning, I cleaned the Gladiator interior and then conditioned the leather. Very effective, low effort, way to deep clean the seats for sure.

What I did today is load it up! Leave tomorrow on a 4,000 mile, 10+ state, 10 day camping trip - from Tennessee to North Dakota. Just me and my teenage boy.
Unfortunately, my Oracle Oculus LEDs and my AVS Aeroskin didn’t arrive, so that’s what I’ll do to it after we get back.

Ready to roll! Just toss that Walgreens cap in the bin before you head out ?

JTRD shocks and springs installed on my ‘21 Overland - full test on some trails coming tomorrow.

 

[JTBurns]

Got the Mopar bug deflector added today. Simple install, only pain was having to run back to Lowe's because I bought the wrong torx bit the other day. ?

It would’ve please me too, but I still had to toss one bag in the back seat!
