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

[Comicnut25]

Totally agree. Where’s the snow I’m close by you buddy. live in black diamond work in Issaquah. Feels like Alaska in WA !

I’m seeing wayyy too many doors off and beautiful green lawns.

No real updates other than it’s been a champ though these last winter storms!

My biggest complaint has been the lights so far. The DRLs are getting swapped for amber bulbs, and the halos need to be unplugged. There’s so much bright white glare from all that when the snow falls against dark roads.

I can’t fault the Oracle bi-leds cutoff as the glare is the same with the lights off. I do wish I got the switchback halo’s like I planned, as the amber color is nicer for such instances.

Otherwise, small fries.

installed my over rider bar on the HD and made a decision on my lift kit, now I’m just saving funds

Installed the Christmas present that I got for my wife. I still need to mount the relay and switch. The winch and mount fit pretty good. The bolts that came with kit were too short to mount the fairlead. Removing the lockwasher helped a little.

What kit did you use?

Finally got around to De-badging the JT today. Still deciding on whether to remove the Mojave sticker but got the rest.

Only to realize after removing the tailgate badge they centered it with two pins. I’m sure this makes MFG easier but Damm there is two holes in the sheet metal.

So until I figure out a plan, really want a clean tailgate. I used the fender badges on the tailgate for now.

JeeeeP

or

Jeeeep

Thoughts?

I like it! Then again, I also like Circus Peanuts and candy corn.

I really like that bumper! No over rider bar for me tho. Don’t wanna block the trail cam.

I ran it without the over rider for a long time, but it always looked so empty since I don’t have a winch yet, I don’t have a trail cam either. However 35x12.5 will chew at it under flex, hence the need for a lift and if I can get all the flex I’ll hack at it with the plasma cutter and clearance it

Didn’t have a chance to get out and go into the National Forest today. So spent a few hours installing our diesels Hauk Snorkel and put in the Ram mount for our tablet.

OK, You have held us in suspense long enough...tell us about the Hauk diesel snorkel...improvements to torque, hp, mileage or driving experience? Would you do it again...i.e. would you spend your money on it again...or another mod, first?

Is that the mopar bumper or one of the knock offs? I have been eyeing the MP concepts because it is aluminum but have not seen amuch feedback on it.

Installed the teraflex rear track bar relocation bracket. Just like others have said it was a very easy install.

definitely feels tighter over bumps abd cornering. Wild what such a small change can do to the feel of the Jt.

and for those who track and enjoy me injuring myself as I work…while crawling back under the rear end i wanged my forehead on my trailer receiver. No blood for once, but ill have

Kinda hard to see but its there below my receding hairline ?‍

Yep, what is it with us older folk...as if we haven't already had enough hard knocks in life! The whole world becomes a "Hard Hat Area"!

New Hi Lift and mount. Fits great.

Nice mount! Who makes it?

To those that have installed the hood struts to get rid of the hood prop rod, which would be the better option of these 2? Is there a reason for a $54 bump?..... well besides shipping time.

Bump

Okay, I have a question: Why do any of us NEED pneumatic hood struts? It's not like we open our hoods every day. And even if we did, the prop rod works fine.

Seems like it's just another totally unnecessary thing to spend money on. I don't "get" many of the things you guys buy like shorter radio antenna when there's nothing obtrusive or even ugly about the stock one. Not to mention it doesn't work as well as the factory antenna.

I'm beginning to get why Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket - but we really don't need to at all.

You literally just posted in the toys thread about all the restoration of that truck….hello pot…

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

I've bot had mine off road yet - only have had it since July - but when I do it won't be in trees in SoCal. More like desert sand not many trees in desert so no need to change the antenna.

Don't get me wrong, I LIKE all the mods I just can't see a need for 90% of them. Strokes/Folks I suppose!

The more you work under the hood, the more you really appreciate the struts. If you don't work under the hood much, then that money might be spent better elsewhere.
