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

[Dougstdig]

Nice! I'm going to try to get up there next weekend.

When you start at the billboard, you’ll head south down a long pipeline clearing and depending on the latest rain you can make that as difficult as you want to. I just took my time and looked at the area while I still had light.

You’ll want to download Avenza Maps if you haven’t already. You can download the map below a head of time and you can track yourself. For the most part, you’ll have no or almost useless cell coverage. Non of the trail should pose an issue for these vehicles with the exception of scratches from limbs. Follow the map!!!

The color make is a pic of the map at the starting point so I could stay on course. At the beginning I shot straight SE to 14 and came back and did the little buy pass when I came back.

The only other place I bypassed was north of the starting point shown the map shed map. When I got to the 9-17.9 where it jumps off the pipeline road “09”. I passed it as it was only visible by a flash of a hidden reflector on the trail stake. This little off shoot didn’t look wide enough for a SxS!

There were a couple of waterholes one you get in the thick forest, but they are small, shallow and with firm bottoms. Foot deep at the most with rain the night before.

I really don't like the media bay door. So I figured this helps my OCD a little.

Tire rotation. Man I hate doing this with the 40’s
Waxed
Take a couple of doors off for a ride.

Dropped the tent on. Trial run to AZ next weekend.
Driveway slopes a bit. Rear is now only 1/2 and inch higher than front.
May need something extra when loaded down with camping gear.
Plan is to see Grand Canyon and hit a few BOH trails.
Drove to Denver today with the tent on. Thing is like a sail. Not sure how people just leave them on all the time.

Had some time on the Jeep this Memorial Day.
Unlike the generations before us who used these buggers in combat. I just dressed it up a little bit.
Added a matte black tailgate graphic with orange pinstripe.

Well shit.....where do I put the kid then?
They complain when I have them ride in the tent all closed up.

I was looking at that kit. Are they rusting, or is it the photo?

The kit comes very nicely powder coated plus I'm in Southern California with no rust concerns. Probably just dirt with the sun reflecting weird in the picture.

ARE shell came in finally.

Saw one very similar to you on 29th this morning in the Harrah/Choctaw area looked fantastic

Sun finally stayed out long enough to warm it up in Northern MI! Top off for first time. Did it my self with a little arm engineering. Not bad. I’ll update on the re-install.

Added a bed extender and a fuel cap holder from Etsy.

What extender is that?

I like it. It said it came with self treading screws, but they were only regular sheet metal. I went and bought my own self threading screws.
