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

[JPGlad21]

I bought the Weathertech and couldn't be happier. The ABS isn't exactly flexible like rubber, but it does have some give. That said, if you hit a rock square on, they'll be goners for sure.

I love my Weathertechs so far, too! Just the right size, nothing on the sides so far.

After several iterations of phone mounts, I've finally settled on something that I'm very happy with. Got some good ideas from the phone solutions thread. This is very solid. It does not shake while driving, and it is not heavy enough to accidentally shift the transfer case. The large surface area allows it to grip the shift knob very securely just by barely tightening the wing nut. It does not leave any imprints (pinch marks) on the shift knob. It can be removed instantly.

My previous set up with the Ram flex ball mount lasted a while, but the adhesive (as well as E6000 glue) kept coming off - no matter how well I cleaned it and let it cure. The Offroam vent mount is well designed, but it is too high up for me, blocks view of the radio screen, and my hand kept bumping into the phone. I will get rid of the Offroam mount.

I really like how it holds up my wireless charger, and it has infinite adjustability.

The clamp is a 2 inch stage light truss clamp (aluminum), and comes in a pack of two.

I modified it slightly by replacing the long M10 bolt with a shorter button head bolt, cut down the M8 T-bolt (for the wing nut), trimmed off the excessive clamp overhang, added a 1 inch socket ball, and put it through a shell casing tumbler to give it a matt finish.

Here is a pic with one out of the package, and the one I slightly modified.

VERY happy with my new set up.

Very innovative!

How did you stain the leather?

sunscreen. Carting kids back and forth from the pool. There’s white handprints all over the seats and nothing I do removes it.

cut out the Euro fender things

Lexol cleaner and conditioner worked for me.

Nothing exciting, apparently broke stop/start system so off to the dealer on Monday.

Ask for details on how it happened and ask if it can be replicated?

Always wanted to learn to paint. This was my excuse. Bought an OK gun, some Eastwood Hot Rod Satin Black and gave it a shot. Took a couple tries (had to sand it back down and start over, as I screwed up the first time), took WAY longer than I'd have thought, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Zero runs, just a couple of tiny bits of dust, no striping or dry spray and pretty consistent finish, especially for a satin.

And more importantly, I leaned a new skill and have a new tool.

Is that the stuff in the bright orange bottle?

if yes then I tried that with no luck.

I don't know what my wife wears (make-up, lotion, etc.), but she's "marked her territory" in the passenger side of every Jeep I've ever owned. I don't make a big deal out of it though. I know when to pick my battles.

When our daughter was little, every piece of clothing she owned had glitter on it. I had cloth seats in my first Wrangler. When I traded it, it looked like a CSI crime scene in the backseat from a fairy murder.

Well they replaced the aux battery because it wouldn't hold a charge, they are checking a sensor now

Replacing the aux battery typically does the trick. Hope that's all it is.

Nope, when I went to pick it up and started it warning came right back on thats why they are looking at the sensor now

Installed our grab handles I ordered from @darksidedesign. They came out great.

That sucks.

Yes, the cleaner comes in an orange bottle, the conditioner in brown. I had to use both a couple times before the stain went away, but it worked. I thought it was more difficult to get out because I was lazy and left it on for a few weeks before trying to clean.

Then again, we could be using different brands of sunscreen ?‍
