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

[4MOTION]

How does it drive/handle now? Thinking about getting the same stabilizer since going to 35s!

I didn't have any issues with my steering before this upgrade.
An I'm running on 35' as well.

But
I was seeking to make a cosmetic, and any performance changes that would happen.

That being said, I notice a smoother steering transition on lanes while driving, and turning corners. Also during high speed turns on freeway overpasses. The steering stays true, no wondering, I don't have to make any slight over corrections.

Other than that, I haven't learned anything else.
But plan to drive around more today to gain more information.

Mounted a second hand 50" Rigid 21,384 Lumen Light bar. (17 amp, 243 watt). New, they are about $900. I got it for $200.
A backlit surround for bed lighting and 240 watts for catching Sasquatch.
Mounted with RivNuts because I couldn't get to the underside. I'll get it wired and aimed tomorrow.

Would a tonneau cover fit over that bed extender?

Depends on the design. If the rails elevate the cover more than a quarter inch, or if it's ribbed, you would probably be okay.
Interference is ~ 1/4" as measured SWAG. (Scientific Wildass Guess)

Ahhh, pretty sure mine would work. It’s the Gator, and has a 3 piece support frame that elevates it in spots.

That will come in handy for tailgaters.

Zauto front cam:

Voswitch. Haven’t even had time for stickers yet. Have a SINGLE thing for these to run. Guess I better get off the gearing forums and into the 12V one. Love that it still has a dry cleaning receipt storage cubby.

HATE the ridiculous chrome antenna. Replaced it with the 20k 5 star review stubby from Amazon… and it wasn’t good at all. Chopped OEM up, soldered the ball back on, sprayed it matte. Reception is worse than the stubby. Stubby will be going back on!

I saw an antenna like that at Autozone (i know you modified your OEM one), mad I didn’t pull the trigger on it. The Rydonair one isn’t doing it for me anymore.

Side note: the OEM aux switches, seem so much cleaner to me than anything aftermarket. With that said, yours still look good.

Got her all cleaned up today and had her coated with a 6 year ceramic coating. Picture doesn’t really do it justice but it turned out awesome!

Agreed. Have the same Amazon antenna and while the stations aren’t “staticy” the volume seems to fade in and out a bit. The shortened stock has static. Not sure which direction I’ll go next.
And yes, nothing will really touch OEM in terms of fit and finish without being big bucks.

As well as tailgate parties. Free tan, anyone?
