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

Before

After:

Now for a leveling kit

looks good! Funny, I just went the other direction and stuck my air dams back on.

Id take the time to cut those plastic covers so you can re install them...having the back side of the fogs exposed to road gook cant be good.

They were one of the first things I did on the JL as well. I like the open look without them, plus the wife always said it looks “off” with them. Happy wife = happy life

I thought about trimming them, but I ran almost year with them gone on the JL and had nothing happen. Plus chances are a bumper will be ordered within the next few months for it.

Received and installed correct sway bar end links from my AEV 2" lift I've been needing for about a week. Ones that got shipped with the kit were the last thing I went to install, and could absolutely not get the OEM nut to thread onto the lower AEV mount (directions have you reuse OEM nut). On both sides, I got it about half an inch on before it started being incredibly difficult to tighten and eventually just stopped moving, and I realized the threat was stripping itself.

Huge shoutout to AEV for following up with their product though. I called the customer service and they explained that Jeep changed the specs on the bolt or nut on the lower end of the sway bar link, so the OEM nut didn't fit on the AEV link. They shipped me a new set of sway bar links with a correct nut, free of charge, no questions asked. Thanks AEV!

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 !

Some of the apps are of course Google Maps, Gaia, My Radar, ODB Jscan, IHeart radio, Plex (to access my home music server), myGMRS, Topo Maps, Zello just to name a few. I also like to have locally stored copies of manuals in the event they are needed on the road. The tablet is nice to have as the screen is much easier to read.

Ive been having a rodent problem the past few weeks. Every morning i have to vacuum up little nuts. I finally ordered and hooked up a rodent repeller and ziptied it to the battery blanket and cable untill i make a bracket to hold it. Seems to work as no signs of the little pest this morning.

I will be picking it up Thursday. Here is the rendering of the finished product

New gear day. A good sign when the parking lot has 6 built JK/JL and 2 built Toyotas.

Finally got around to installing the wire for the halos on my Mopar LED headlights. What a PITA.

Installed my LOD mid bumper and skid (not pictured). Love it.

Excited to join the Jeep family with my first Jeep, a Sting Gray 2022 Mojave.

Made a couple of inexpensive mods to highlight the orange accents of the Mojave which went really well with my first and most important mod, my NY Islanders decal!

On my roadmap:

• Line-X bed spray (Scheduled for mid February)
• RoughCountry low profile hard tonneau cover
• Side steps (still undecided which to choose)
• DV8 Door Sills
• Stubby antenna

Cool ride. Welcome to the family!!

Drove to the dealer this morning to get my first oil change and was told they dont do oil changes after 9 so i went to the parts store got oil and a filter and did it myself...lol im glad i did because oil was pretty dark even with only 2500mi

Oil in a diesel engine gets very dark very quickly. It's not the same as a gas engine. That black colour does not mean it has broken down. No need to worry about the colour, just make sure you change on schedule, or a little ahead. But there's no need to change it early because of the colour.

New drag link and tie rod

Installed the 67 designs phone mount. Tried two other. Bullet proof (shook) ram tough track ( vibrated like crazy) 67 designs it’s great no vibrations shaking anything. Only issue I’m having it putting the phone in one handed the arm wants to move away. I sent them an email to see what I can do to stop that.

Yes 100% true about a diesel. I grew up in and around trucking and heavy equipment my whole life and im pretty much obsessed with old 2stroke detroits if you cant tell by my username ?. Only problem is my gladiator isnt a diesel i have the 3.6 gasjob.

How'd you manage that? Trade it in already!
