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

[DawnViola]

Installed Armorlite, a dead pedal and seat jackers. Wasn’t hard, just a bit time consuming.

Did you have to take the seats out and do you notice better sound dampening ?

Installed a gmrs radio to the aux 4 switch. Still need to troubleshoot why I have a bunch of static and low voice when transmitting though. I know I'm grounded so don't know why currently

I was just going to say that. Dollies, driveshaft, or deck!

Figured that out after the fact! Only went 5.2 miles though through town, thank goodness.

I did take the front seats. At first I left them in but they were really in the way. The back seats easily folded up and out of the way. I think there was some sound dampening. I only went for a short drive after but it seemed a bit quieter.

Installed the WeatherTech TechLiner since my bed is getting all scratched up.

Figured I’d roll with this a while and push out the line-X purchase until next year.

I added the Rock Jock carrier bearing drop spacer. I've got 3.5" coil lift & 3/4" spacer out back. Sorry no b4 pics, it did have quite an upward tilt. For only $30 bucks & 1/2 hr, I feel better & so does the driveshaft.

I just made me one of these with some 1x2 scrap aluminum bar stock I found in the local metal supplier remnants bin. My 3 inch rk kit put a little angle in the drive line.

I just got under and shimmied it up while my wife reeled it up. Tight fit, I thought I would have to air some down but nope it worked. The worth the effort for me, rarely will it be accessed I won't be doing a five tire rotation. Just a nice assurance to have it available.

what tire did you throw under there?

 

[exfil offroad]

itll probably be easier to get a wave in a 4Runner from a LC or a Defender than it will be to get one from a JL in a JT

??

i get waves literally all the time. from new, and old wranglers. guess they must just like mine...

Nitto ridge grappler 37x12.5 on stock 17. Same tire as the rest of the wheels.

Filled the bed up with these for it. 315/70r17 Dick Cepeks on some Quadratec Xtreme Rubicon wheels I found as a local take off.

totally. Getting a wave is a great place to find identity.

Installed these NFab side steps. Easy peasy once you take the factory rock rails off. Well , eventuate is easy except for my 67 year old bones and getting UP off the creeper. I think I need restorative yoga, sheesh!

DAMN! Sorry for the out-of-whack pics. I can't fix them. Anyone know how?

I've read if you resize them, they upload correctly

It's been a while since I have had a chance to post the progress so please forgive me if I overlap from previous posts...

Ham was removed and GMRS installed. Also got the tablet (with all the needed apps) mounted with a Ram Mount.

Seven Sparta Light mounts...

Finished out the bed stuff...

For those who are curious how the toolbox stays put. I mounted some aluminum barstock and L channel to the board.

Got it named...

Still waiting on the bumpers.

Lookn good my friend ! Could you provide a newbie a little information on the "needed apps" ..... are they different than what can be downloaded on the uconnect ? Curious why an additional tablet is needed ? Thanks !
