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

[O-Face]

This weekend's project...

I also added some A-pillar lights (Auxbeam) but didn't take a pic of them. The smaller fusebox was installed for items that need a constant 12v source. I have to say that it really cleaned up the battery connections. The Voswitch was a really easy install but I did put the cabling through the firewall rather than pinching it between the windshield per the instructions. These projects were done as more of a future-proofing to make upcoming installs much easier to install.

Washed, clay barred, and applied Adam's Graphene Ceramic Spray. Not quite the real pro ceramic application, but it turned out nice. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures before I started. I've only had the truck for a year, and I'm surprised how much grit the clay had removed. There was quite a bit of grime imbedded into the clearcoat. The Adam's spray did okay on some plastic parts, like the hood vents and side mirrors, but it didn't do anything to the plastic cowl piece below the wipers. I used Car Guys plastic restorer for most other parts.

The hard tonneau cover was badly faded. I tried Adam's, Turtle Wax ceramic spray, Armor All, Shine Armor, Meguiar's carnuba wax, Nu Finish, Car Guys, polishing compound, etc. The only thing that made a difference was the Rust-oleum Recolor (the most expensive per volume).

Before (part of it applied towards the cab):

Thanks for the tip. I just added it to my Amazon wish list, so I'll try that next!

PSA: posts on this thread without pictures are kinda useless (like this post, ironically.)

Hell yeah! Now we’re talking. You will love the SP2s.

Curious to know what you think of the Falcon stabilizer After you get a few miles on it.

You aren’t kidding, these SP2’s are outstanding! Can’t wait to get them off road. So far I am liking the stabilizer.

Finally nice enough this weekend for me to get the tube doors on.
