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

[RCKLNDR]

How do you like those Yokohama’s? I love the way they look but I’m afraid they might suck for commuting.

There’s good and bad. They didn’t need balanced after I mounted them. They drive great at all speeds. No concerns in the rain but I take them off before the snow falls so that’s an unknown.

The bad is they are loud. By far the the loudest I’ve ran. Previously I’ve ran Super Swamper SSRs, Maxxis Bighorns, Goodyear MTR-Ks, and BFG KM2s and at 10k miles, these are much louder than any of those ever were.

Hard work today. Installed a new phone mount. Now just want to get a small extension rod to move it below and away from the dash a bit.

Nice, thanks for the links..

I forgot to add the one downside to this setup is that the Gladiator puts out some really good heat and I noticed one day that the phone was starting to sag, so I tightend it up, but then it started sagging again and I took a closer look and realized that the heat from the vent was enough to soften up the plastic Ram ball (the CMM mount is aluminum).

I moved it around a bit (I think the picture I posted was before I moved it) and I haven't had any issues since then, but I figured I'd mention it.

That rack looks pretty cool. Any make/model info? Or is it custom?

Thanks. It’s a custom one if a kind. Made by user “longleaf” on this forum.

Received my Quadratec flashlight + holder after a two month wait.

I installed the Rugged Ridge RRC Rock guards. They were on sale AND came with a $100 prepaid visa gift card ??

I'm looking specifically at that brand model, enough addtl protection than my narrow Rubi rails. Where did you get the discount? Don't I see it at 4WP. Thanks, good deal!

I ordered them from Quadratec.com.
Not sure if the sale and rebate is still going on though.

I pick it up from the dealer a week ago. Today I added the Mopar running boards. Door sill protectors, weathertech floor Mats, bed mat , roll up tonneau cover and weathertech mudflaps. Rubicon take off wheels and tires

Friday night I went to grab the travel trailer to bring home so I could install a few things. Upon plugging my Curt Echo Controller and Camper into the truck the Curt controller went up in smoke…and a lot of it. It warmed the wires on the trucks trailer harness enough to unravel the black stuff around it a few places however I’m unable to find any damage to the wires.

I plugged the travel trailer back into the truck and everything functioned as it should minus not being able to control the brakes since no controller existed.

This afternoon I installed a Curt Spectrum into the Gladiator and ran to the lot to test everything out. Luckily this time no smoke and everything is working properly.

Removed factory painted flares to get ready to install black ones.

Installed a rear view mirror with camera - this will come in handy when my RTT is on the bed since it blocks the view entirely. Also has a front cam and doubles as a recorder. Unfortunately the adaptive cruise control housing around the mirror blocks the upper right corner of the front cam, but still pretty good. Also, the video display gets a bit hard to see if there is a lot of light in the mirror/reflection, but I imagine the tent will actually “solve” that since it will basically block out the window. I did modify (bend) and resprayed the camera bracket to work for my setup, but otherwise I’m actually quite happy with the quality of this.

It was actually done yesterday but I installed the UnderCover Ultra Flex bed cover.

I want one…the one with line-x on the panels. I can’t find one anywhere. Everywhere I check they say there on backorder.

Another step to Mojave-fying my Sport S

Bolted on a second Mojave Orange tow hook to my rear bumper. I did not have the bezel surround with the appropriate opening so I simply hogged out a hole with my Dremel.

Are the Oracle rear lights worth it? Sure would come in handy with folks running their brights behind you just to give them a little blip. Soooo many idiot drivers around the Gainesville FL area either running brights or no lights at all.
