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

[SargeDiesel]

sometimes is big adds some times its small details Gladiator decals for my Anthem wheels

I hear you ! What do they say ? " The devil is in the details ".... its the little things that make it yours/unique.

I added some new valve stem caps, Threedom door lock covers and a new Prius killer on my hitch. Although I am considering putting my drop hitch back on because this one doesn't like playing with my backup sensors.

How was installing the Voswitch in the grab handle? I have that as a weekend project this week.

Did you install the Voswitch this weekend. Curious on your thoughts on the install

do you know if these are the same as the ones from THREEDOM that fit over you door locks ?

Yes. These are from Threedom. I will probably get the door lock covers now

No, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do it. Pulled something in my left arm near the biceps and have been alternating cold/heat all weekend and relaxing. Figure I'll tackle it next weekend when I have the long weekend for the holiday if the arm is better.
Getting older sucks...

My question is why is this needed ? Does the apple phone not connect the same as a bluetooth Android ? Other uses for it ? Thanks

These devices are designed to use Carplay, which allows you to interact with apps on your phone using the UConnect screen. Of course the usual Bluetooth audio interactions will work with these but FCA has not yet enabled wireless / BT Carplay.

Added an Apple Carplay wireless dongle. Now my phone connects when I get in the Jeep with no wires. Plugged into the console usb, shut the lid and forget it's there.

Is a dongle the same as a dangle but referring to the same thing? Mines a little to the right.

With multi-mega-thanks to member jebiruph, took another step in prepping my 2020 to go in trade on a 2022.
Today was swapping the rear suspension back to stock/original springs and shocks.
Two of us on the project made it go fast - and it's amazing how much difference 2 years makes on a person after you hit a certain point. Very thankful for the help. Even just passing a light to make sure the top end of the spring coil is clocked correctly in those crazy top isolators is a help, or holding the back wrench on things while torqueing things back to spec again.
So next on the list:
Putting stock original Overland springs, shocks and lower control arms back under it, then likely removing the trailer brake controller. The rest is mostly taking out the bed rails, tonneau latches I installed, the storage trays in the cab, etc.

Help is everything these days!

Ya just like doc said, apple works the same as android with Bluetooth. Also like android auto, apple carplay isn't wireless in our radios. So they are using an add on to allow wireless carplay. For Android I use a similar add on called AA Wireless. Having it wireless is so much nicer.
If you haven't tried even the wired version of Android auto Sarge, you should give it a try.

I added a few small things THREEDOM door lock covers, stubby antenna & prepped and painted my Mojave Skid with Steelit paint. My winch came in but still waiting on my bumper from next venture Motorsports.

Bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth for all of the data traffic associated with Android Auto, etc.

If your on the fence about the Falcon 3.1 Shocks... DO IT. It' a good chunk of change but damn does it ride so much better!! The adjustability is awesome too!

Other systems have CarPlay and Android Auto over BT.

Yes one whole can was just right about five coats.

Really? According to Google it's not possible,.
It DOES use BT, but.................not for everything. There isn't the bandwidth.
Note everything talking about AA says - not really........... Even google themselves.

I bet the "other systems" are using wifi direct. (and you likely wouldn't know it)
