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

[yushjr]

Well, technically it was yesterday...
Added the Mopar bug deflector because the last few weeks have been REALLY bad. Drove it almost 300 miles right after installing it, and it seems to help some.

I have that on my rig. Still get bugs on the windshield.

Got Roll n Lock XT installed last night. Finally. Long story. This one went on mostly nice.

Bought the XT to add bars and a basket. First set of crossbars were bent (?) so they went back. This by itself seems pretty good. It was tough to trim my bedliner straight but it’s hidden anyway.

I was really leaning towards a DiamondBack SE, but started getting worried about trying to install the shims. I started looking at this and now seeing it installed outside of YouTube and marketing videos, I am liking more and more. Any challenges with the install, or is it as easy as the videos make it seem?

Actually the install isn't bad at all. It could have been easier with another person. Carrying the canister up a few steps of a ladder into the bed might throw some off a bit. But, I'm older and stubborn and fortunately still able!!

I didn't need any of the leveling shims or spacers at all.

JCR rear interior molle panels.

Since I think the storage space around the center console is limited, I added a few more little bins.

Where'd you get the one in the first pic? Someone was looking for a place to put their phone and that looks ideal.

Charged the battery.
Damn thing, after sitting two months, no power whatsoever.
It didn't have to charge very long, though.
But now the ESS is showing Not Ready, but no reason. I probably killed the small battery.

I just found one on Amazon and ordered it for that very reason.

Finally finished the Coverking install and put the top back on, I’ll see tomorrow if the Kilmat makes a big difference on the Sound….

ArmorLite arrived today.

Did my first oil change in my JT in my garage. I’ve had the dealership do it but since they decided to leave off my radiator overflow cap last time… I decided enough was enough for them being lazy.

 

[Detachment-1]

So, I had this Yakima rack and the big ol’ luggage carrier thingy that attaches sitting under my house that I had planned on mounting to my JT when I got it.

However, I quickly learned that I should have bought a cab height rack.

(Let that be a cautionary tale to all who buy a bunch of accessories the day the buy their rig. Drive it for a while until you figure out what you actually want/need for YOU!)

So I took a trip down to my local fabricator in Columbia, SC whom I have used before when I bent the hell out of a step on my Tundra (a work truck lease BTW). Dude is awesome and fixed it better than new for cheap.

I thought I could have him make some brackets, and he said he could buuuuuuut it’d Be like $300.

Although my name is Italian l, I’m actually Scottish, AKA I’m cheap.

long story short he had a 32” piece of 4” tube lying around he gave me and this is what’s left.

Swapped the Nitto Ridge Grapplers that vibrated like mad at 25MPH to a smooth running Geolander G003!

Did you have to do any trimming / cutting to get that 37" underneath?

Two things I see are the heat shield is gone and the exhaust has been relocated...
