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

[Lunentucker]

No good deed goes unpunished.

I've got a contractor building new decks at the house this week.
The next couple of days are supposed to be standard issue Virginia in July. Mid 90s and high humidity.
So I decided to go to Lowes today and get the young fellow a fan to at least offer some relief while he's working on the front porch where we don't get much air movement.

Driving by a DOT mowing crew and WHACK!
Got me dead center on the driver's door ?

It may buff. I haven't messed with it yet.

I always expected the first one to be the windshield.

Nice rig, welcome to the family.

Finally after almost 2 months of waiting, Warn Epic Diamondcutters in black are on! 27lbs per wheel exactly and the stock Mojaves are 25.8lbs, no real hit there. They look great and I love the 0 offset with my flare extensions.

Looks great! Are you using your factory lugs with these?

Yes factory lugs work. I will switch to black soon I think.
Couldnt be happier how they fit. Weight 1lb more, 0 offset fits most tires and appear to be high quality.

How are the 37s with the 4.10s in your opinion?

Any front end sag after install?

I went back and read my original reply And saw that I missed some thing important so I’m re-quoting or re-replying to your post.

Anytime you add 80-120lbs ahead of the front axle you will have some sag. You should anticipate this. It’s normal…it’s physics.

I’ve tried my best to be patient with getting the diesel front and fix done. Shortly thereafter I’ll look at swapping the whole system but I wanted it right/correct before I did any of that.

Thank you for the reply. I assumed there would be sag, I just curious on the amount.

If I had to guess, I’d say about an inch. The buddy I went to the Ocala NF with on that trip last weekend has a JL sport and has had a 9 or 10k winch on his for a couple of years now and he has a good 1 1/2 sag, but he doesn’t have the Diesel engine either.

I read a lot of peoples opinions on here. I went with the BFG because it's a lighter 37. (Not the best looking) As of now, I feel no need to regear. Finds 8th fine, I honestly can't tell a huge difference in power. Turned out just like I liked. No rubbing, more of a stuffed look. If anything, I may have to trim the fenders when off roading, but other than that very impressed.

Waiting for my replacement engine, but in the meantime…installed my steering wheel. Decided to just reuse the stock silver trim because the CF looked a bit cheap and out of place (the silver matches the rest of the dash), and because one of the screw holes was stripped.

Just ordered another set of pod lights from @ORACLElights in amber, to use as forward facing running lights. Man, their website has comes a long ways in just a year. Alot more products and easier to navigate.

 

[Klicht87]

I did the same bumper this weekend. I put rigid lights that are backlight red that I tied to the running lights, then the white floods go to my switch panel. Actually found the bumper on walmat.com for 435.00

How do you like those taillights?

 

[Jerhemi]

Got my rims and tires mounted. Still need to paint the protection rings and install them. Also have an AEV spacer lift to install.
