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

[TheScott]

Picked up my 4 day old Gladiator from the dealership. They installed the Mopar lift, Fox steering stabilizer and my wheels/tires.

Had to Polk-a hole in your tire huh?

Tested my new air compressor.

 

[NateKY]

Installed a bumper bar and the Flowmaster Outlaw Extreme.

Uninstalled the JKS Quicker disconnects so I could install Apex
AutoLYNX disconnects. After 2 desert seasons having to struggle reconnecting (at least half of all reconnects involved using the hammer), I bought these sweet beauties. They arrived within a week of ordering. Installed this morning.
I disconnected by turning the switch on each side and drove a few miles around my neighborhood then reconnected by turning the switches back and pushing one side down until it locked. Normal driving will lock the other side into place. Looking forward to our next offroad trip to the desert.

I did the exact same exchange! I couldn't believe how difficult the JKS ones were to disconnect/reconnect. I went with the Apex disco's after seeing them on a buddy's JK. They are beyond amazing, and very nice looking, too.

Shout out to Discount Tire in Cary NC for swapping tpms for a reasonable price.

Installed my new Falcon SP2's on my JTR. Took it for a 50-mile drive afterwards on both backroads and highway. Washboard roads are much smoother, bumps absorbed w/o jumpiness, and felt more planted on the highway. Expensive upgrade but overall, I feel it was worth it at this point.

What does the new exhaust do for your Gladiator? Sound profile, performance?

Complete newbie here, wondering what the upgrade does.

Good luck, I’ve replaced my MC links three times on my JK because the nut comes lose on the sway bar end and strips the threads. Not sure what brand I’ll use on my JT once I get it

I have a short fuse for that so if it does I'll go JKS. I've had them on my JK for years and they're going strong.

I like the sound and it is tucked up into the truck more than the factory for offroad use. It dumps out in front of the axel so there is less chance of dragging it on rocks and stuff. There are all kinds of opinions on the performance benefits of an exhaust and CAI. It's too soon to tell if there will be any bump in MPGs, but I know it will go down if I keep driving it just to hear the rumble. Lol

Added Cheap Accent Lights.
When I got my ADD bumper, I lost my factory fogs. Even though the light bar I installed has fogs (wired on a separate switch) there were these two triangular shaped holes on the bumper and an unused wiring harness right there so I bought a $15 pair of 2x6LEDs, fashioned a bracket, mounted and wired them into the headlight/fog circuit. Now I can see the front corners, really, really low. lol.

 

[WonderBeardo]

Took off the end caps of the steel bumper and threw on a Warn stinger. Pics with the front camera for those curious, didn’t like the low or the mid so this was the lesser of two evils for blocking camera view.

 

[Escapade]

I installed a 12 volt DC station including 3 lighted Rocker Switches, lighted cigarette plug and 2 USB sources along with small digital Volt meter in my truck bed. This is a huge improvement over my temp cigarette plug mod that i installed in the original plastic insert. These new switches will power future pod lights, light bar and led strips on my Fish Bone Half Rack for camping, supporting off-roading repairs or to temporary blind Sasquatches.

I gave him intestinal fortitude…

 

[Angry]

Just a small addition: I added a Bestop twill tonneau. I like it so far.

Where did you purchase the the 12 volt DC station? Can you add the link?
