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

[JTzntz]

Just threw on a drt fabrication hitch skid.

Mind posting a pic from the side? Was looking at this one previously and wondered how far below the chain rings the skid sits and how far forward it reaches. Thanks in advance!

I have them up in my build thread too.

That’s the farthest in it can go. Sits about almost an inch below.

Nice install.

No sarcasm: in what situation would you want the dead pedal in the upright position? Looks like it'd nail you right in the shins.

Removing your floor mats to clean

Thanks @sass JT ! Was hoping it would be up tighter. Maybe that 1" may give me enough room to put a brake in the leading edge to lessen the chance of the leading edge getting hung up on a rock or ledge. hmmm

Amazing. Thanks. Needed that.

is this an easy install? Someone a while back posted about xyz brand being a royal pita to install

The MORE brand and Amazon knockoffs mount to the side by your left foot, and it’s very awkward to try to mount the bolts/nuts in the footwell. There are pics on here of people tying it together with a shoestring or something to help hold and align everything.
That style dead pedal doesn’t reach the floor, and I like it because I can either put my foot on it or slide my shoe under it.
Looks like the quadratec style can flip up too, not sure if can do that with your foot while driving?‍

I have one of the pita ones that bolt to the side. Annoying to install but not impossible. And im with you in that I like to stick my foot on it or under it

I tried to install the U-box dead pedal from Amazon previously and it didn't fit properly. I never did get the Amazon one installed. I also didn't like the fit and finish.

The Quadratec pedal was a very quick install. It's way nicer also. However, it was on backorder for 4-5 months.

Ordered my extra mojave wheel for a spare and extra lugs for when I lose them on the road haha.

 

[Casique]

Installed the Oracle rear bumper lights. No error, but the right side light is dim - bad!

Contacting Oracle now for replacement...

EDIT: Pulled the harnesses and re-connected, and it worked fine. Oracle got back to me right away with some suggestions. Very happy!

Finally got around to:
Metalcloak 3.5 lift
Falcon 3.1 shocks
Falcon adjustable steering stabilizer
RB. XL mudflaps
37 12.5 r70 terra grapplers
Rough Country pod lights
Rough Country light bar

still more to do
Got some rubicon take offs if anybody in the Albuquerque area needs them

We just installed the Quadratec pedal and it was simple. Inventory must be caught up, we got ours in a week this month.
