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

[Rubi_Rhod]

How much additional lift did you get on your Rubicon using the Mopar 2” lift?

Just about 3” on mine.
I also added a 3/4” spacer to the rear as there’s about 500lbs or so of gear and camper and wanted to preserve the rake.

Hey all, I added a S&B Cold Air Intake, Very easy Mod I must say, I do need to clean my engine compartment.

Though, trying to figure out how to fix my check engine light (CEL) that came up now that I put it in. I follow directions to the tee. I made sure that the senor was in the same exact position and drove it out with no issues, next morning I get in and see the CEL is now on. I had the battery disconnected also during the install.

Anyone run into this issue? I searched other feeds to find it, but didn't see any comments.

Jeep looks nice. You have spacers on those wheels? What kind?

Thanks. Yes, running wheel spacers on the stock Willys wheels/tires. Have always run Spidertrax 1.75" spacers on other trucks, but they were back ordered. So, went with G2 brand 1.75" ones.... they appear identical to Spidertrax, except black instead of blue.

The key is make sure to use a quality hub centric spacer, and don't forget the red Loctite. Very pleased with the look, really liked the stock wheels, just like a little more tire sticking out.

I purposely chose a Willys because of the name nostalgia, options, and the black accents. However, the black grille it comes with is a single piece of plastic instead of multi-piece trim that is body color. It’s been bothering me so I did something about it.

First step was to remove the grille. Super easy to do with only 6 panel push rivets and some hidden attachment clips.

Next step was prep. Plastic can be hard to paint so I washed off the dirt and bugs and scuffed the areas to be painted. I then masked everything and applied plastic adhesion promoter. The adhesion promoter required color to be sprayed on it within 10 minutes. After the color, I applied 3 coats of clear.

I let everything cure for 24 hours and reinstalled the grille. Much better looking IMO.

I'm sure it should be obvious and I needed more coffee this morning, but what exactly did you change? The bottom trim piece?

Yes.

Nice. Though that's probably going to bug me on mine now.

Hitch skid - supervisor approved of the install ?

Pretty basic but I put on a Mopar Gladiator license plate cover. Actually looks good, no pics though. Ordered through Quadratec.

A Corgi supervisor no less We have three two tri and a sable, great dogs.

Spent 4 hours screwing with the terraflex quick disconnect install before giving up due to thick welds. This is not a bolt on part as advertised. Tried filing down the weld but no luck. Will need to grind down the bracket next with a bench grinder if I can find one.

She’s a hard task-master, but I couldn’t imagine working for anyone else!

Installed a fox steering stabilizer on my 2021 gladiator… had to modify bolt a bit, probably will
Pick a new one up from hardware store later…. Note to anyone with 2021 may need a different bolt as the factory bolt has extra long shoulders forgot to take pic before modification. There’s more discussion on the thread if you look it up
