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

Finally got my new Tires. 35 x 12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts on Icon Alloy Vectors 17 x 8.5, -6 offset. I love the stance with the AEV 2” spacer lift.

How do you like the M/T Baja Boss AT's? I am looking at ordering a set in 37x12.5R17. Any feedback appreciated.

Installed 5' ROAM Adventure Co. awning on the back of my rack. Needed coverage when working out of the tailgate. Pretty cool awning and good internal frame design so you don't have to use stakes for a temporary setup on a hard surface (if no significant wind) tailgating, working in the boatyard, etc...

Ooh, what tonneau/rack system is that??

So far they have a few hundred pavement miles. They are apparently not the easiest tire to balance, or maybe my new wheels aren’t. I have some vibration at about 60mph. I ordered the wheels/tires as a package mounted and balanced from Quadratec. Not looking for a hassle I took them to a local shop to have them re-balanced while I was at work the other day. I can see where they scraped off the old weights and added new ones (so they did actually attempt to re-balance them) but it didn‘t help. In fact, the guy at the tire shop took a look when I dropped the truck off and said he wouldn’t guarantee he could perfectly balance tires that aggressive I am gonna try some balancing beads to see if that helps.

Aside from that they look great. They perform great on the road in both the dry and wet. They are very quiet especially for how aggressive the tread is. They are quieter than the stock Falken A/Ts that came off. Admittedly, I didn’t rotate the stock tires nearly as often as I should have hence the road noise. I haven’t had the M/T Baja Boss A/Ts off road at all to comment on performance there.

I wanted easy access to them if I have a bunch of camping crap in my bed. I like the racks, but I take my top off too much. I may eventually get a half rack and roof top tent.

I run a rack and take the hard top off regularly. Instead of removing the top to the rear you need to just get it around the roll bar and take it to one side. Of course you need enough room between the front of the rack and the rear window to make this work.

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

Amazon has all kind of different switch panel configurations. Just choose the one that fits you best. Me I bought this panel switch configuration and then I swapped out two of the switches to better suit my future mods. I didn't need the zombies but I am sure some of you will love it.

I installed the Metal Cloak rear differential skid plate and the Rusty's lower control arm skid plates. I will post some tips that helped me with the LCA's in the TECH: Underbody/skid plate section.

Added a MONSTER 6 inch lift.

Finally got around to installing the TeraFlex 1-1/2” front spacer lift and anti-sway bar quick disconnects. Also installed the Mopar 1/4” longer lower control arms.

Lower control arms.

TeraFlex anti-sway bar quick disconnects.

Results: Nearly level with a slight rake when measured.

I installed JCR Bed Side Molle Panels on my Mojave this afternoon. They seem very well made and sturdy. What I DID NOT like is that the mounting hardware (nuts and bolts) were silver. It looked really cheesy once I got it installed. So, I removed them and painted them black. It looks OK for now - but I am going to order some black nuts and bolts on the internet and replace them. I am also going to order the Bed Front Molle Panel from JCR now.

Did absolutely nothing.....but enjoy

Installed Rubi takeoff’s (shocks and coils) with Synergy shock extension brackets, teraflex 1.5” leveling kit, daystar 3/4” rear spacer, Mopar 2” lift LCA’s (because why not). Before and after pics to come. Here she is on a quick jack, which came in handy for this job.

Service day!
And some new parts while there amiright?!

Grimm Offroad Stainless Steel Braided brake lines along with Bosch fluid. I’ll get a better pad later. The pedal response is nice, but the stock pad material feels like a wood block. I prefer more bite

Hellwig rear sway bar. - Highly recommend. I have the Mopar lift and with the camper and the soft springs, while great on trails, was really making for a sloppy highway and corner manners. It’s flat and tight now.

And a change of the trans and transfer case fluids wrapped it up.

Also took out the Transfer case skid to make life easier to drain the case, and make room for the Metalcloak Undercloak coming soon. And pulled out that flattened nutsert from the summer whoops. I’m really looking forward to those skids. Between trees, my poorly choosen lines, or inattentiveness theres too much good stuff to crush.

anyway, pics!

added a bed rack 2 days ago and this morning I installed a tent. I like it so far. Only driven down the street today. Curios to see what the gas mileage will be.

underNeath the bed rack and the tent I also have a 37 tire mounted with the rough county bed mount.

I’m liking it so far.

1.5" spacer installed today for the front, .75" on the way, maybe get to install that next weekend. Should have taken some pictures of the process, but didn't. Was able to install without removing the track bar. No noticable offset with the front axle and the steering wheel didn't have to be adjusted.

Could you tell me what bed rack brand did you attach above the bed cover? That would be perfect to attach my rods while keeping gear locked up in the bed. I understand to keep my rods from sprouting legs and walking away to use locking snow board racks. It’s been 110 days since placing a white Mojave order. Maybe coming soon.
