I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to share that I'm using the 'truck' part of the Gladiator WAY more than I thought I would in the first three weeks of ownership! I need 16 more sheets of plywood so I might put the tailgate to the test if I feel brave enough!

Awesome! I love the painted black 2x4 helpers. Wanna see 16 sheets of ply! That'll qualify for prize 2.

Winner Winner Plywood Splinter (thanks @furrymurray, funny saying)

What felt like an eternity, 63 days (for me and Plywood nation) has finally been resolved. Recently new (May 17th Join Date) and quite active Plywoodian @Red has successfully finished the 4x8 Plywood Weekend Warrior challenge.

  1. 2x4's cut to fit? CHECK

  2. 4x8 sheet of plywood in bed with tailgate in midlle position? CHECK

    (Nice shelf you've built!)
  3. Proof of ownership? CHECK He did actually send me his bill of sale, i won't post it even with its redaction, lol.
Congratulations on winning Prize #1 @Red ...........Prize delivery will be delayed a few weeks, but you won't be disappointed.

Plywood nation, please congratulate Ro.......Now i need to think of a good name for you.
hmmmmm, now that Red is no longer on the forum, do we re-open prize 1 and give it to @JT614 for his 12 sheets of plywood?

This could be the Gladiator Forum's version of that Florida hanging Chad recount thing.

I did a double take just now when I checked how long ago @JT614 joined the forum. a whopping 9 days ago? That can't be true........since the departure of Red and I never gave him his prize, @JT614 came along and embraced this thread and the forum wholeheartedly. Its fun when people get involved and I especially like when they join my shenanigans.

Red may have been the first to put a full sheet of plywood in his JT, but @JT614 put 12 sheets in his JT to get real work done, and helped people understand how the tailgate distributes the weight on this post, Possible bed problem with 4X8 plywood

Then he goes and makes a man sized gator multi-tool out of plywood, which is now entered in for prize 2 of the contest on this thread. That thing looks SICK! Man-sized Gladiator Multi-tool!

He did a great write up on his mods so far giving his JT some unique flare Ok, I'll be the first to post here :) and even offering ideas to help make our Great Lakes Rally a fun and memorable one. GREAT LAKES GLADIATOR RALLY

Thanks @JT614 for joining the fun and helping people out. 155 likes in 9 days, i've met my match......:LOL: Correction 160.............:punch:

:surprised:

I was wondering about that... was it official? Or are we just assuming since we haven’t heard from him?
Assuming some sort of official thing, his threads and posts are all gone and his username shows up but when you click on it says unavailable.

Exactly can do it all in 20 minutes myself. Initial install with rods and 2 x 4's and making the stand for the front part of top was about 2 hours.I also put rod couplings at the ceiling to remove rods when not in use.

This is exactly how I mounted my 75,000 btu garage heater.
