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

[j.o.y.ride]

New shocks. I need to plot an exit from the fender liners for the front remote reservoir. But wanted to get the install done for now.

I got it on Amazon. It screws right over the original dash tray.
You can get it with the mount on driver, passenger or center mount

Go Rhino cross bars installed today. These things are beefy and will work well with Yakima front loader bike racks I scored off FB for dirt cheap.

How are those locking hood latches doing? Do you have the link of where you bought them?

I bought them here : https://www.ebay.com/itm/165068163980?hash=item266ed44b8c:g:EDcAAOSw37lgq1lK
No complaints . These are the exact copy of the factory ones except for the lock . I did not like the set-up of the hinge bolts these use So I removed them and swapped them with the factory hinge parts. You can see on these they use bolts at the hinge and the factory ones use a inside snap-ring retaining system,much better !

Thx. Just bought it. So just use the bolts on the oem hinge and transfer them over to this hinge?

That is really cool actually... I have been watching gladiator offroading videos before I take mine (im a noob) and I always wondered if there was something better then just smashing the crap out of the hitch all the time.

I have this too. It’s a little in the expensive side for what it is, but it’s well made, looks great, and has a very nice finish.

Also of note, poor communication from the company - I ordered it around Black Friday And needed it before I moved out of my then-apartment on 19 Dec. I tried getting in touch for shipping updates, to see if it had shipped so I could get a tracking number or redirect as necessary….they don’t have a phone number listed and they did not answer about 3x of me filling out the “email us” form on their website. (No email address given either, just fill out a contact form.) thankfully it arrived the day before I left on 18 Dec, so got it just in time about 3 weeks later.

Wrecked it into a Camry. Didn’t even pop the tire. Upgrade time…

Ugh, this is why I keep coming back to getting a full width ARB bumper even though stubbys looks cooler and are way cheaper. How bad was the damage?

I am curious - is that the stock stance, or modified suspension - and what tires.
Trying to figure out why it looks so different than expected. Maybe it's my allergy-fogged eyes, maybe lack of a second coffee - or maybe, it's not exactly as dealer delivered. But something has me looking at it with some admiration.

Good, solid product, but still, at $189 for what it is, too steep. Other low profile options?

yes...you will see the difference in both

 

[NoDoorsNoProblem]

Missed it. Gone from all my Jeeps for 21 days while TDY. ? Just have to look at these pics every now and than.

NTC 22-07? ?

Lo

For low profile, not that I’ve seen. Most of them are the big 8x8 or 10x10-looking step and plate combos.

Your eyes and lack of caffeine have not deceived you. It is modified with the Clayton 2.5” lift, with BFG KO2’s.

Thanks. It's got a good look to it.
