Figured I'd finally kickoff my build thread. Got lots of things to get pics of to catch up, but this was a fun easy one to start.
Finished up my bed divider. It started life as a 2x6 vinyl fence board from Home Depot. I cut it to fit, clipped the bottom corners and cut out the interior...
Finally got around to getting my tonneau cover on...it's the Onine retractable aluminum slat one, from Amazon. So far so good. Instructions were a nightmare but seems pretty solid installed now.
So, mainly just a sanity check here. I have Toyo Open Country R/TS in 37x13.5R17 size. According to the manufacturer's site and a few other sources, actual size is 36.5" I emailed Toyo about what proper inflation was for my Sport S/w Max Tow pkg was and they came back with 26 PSI for those...
So I'm rewiring my lightbar to use my A-Pillar grab handle VOSwitch JL 800. First pic is of the wires after I removed the built in SPDT switch for going between off, white or amber. I looked at the wires connected to the switch and I swear on all that is holy, the white wire went to the side...
Finally got to use my extendible snow shovel I keep in the back under the seat. Was it to shovel myself out of a jam in the snow off-road? Oh no. I had to shovel a path and grass for a 9 pound wiener dog who refuses to poop in the snow.
Well, I"ve only had 2 ducks the whole time I've owned my Gladiator, a little green one that matches the paint and a Beetlejuice duck. This Christmas my 4 year old nephew got me a duck which will become my 3rd duck. I give you Spar-duck-us:
So I did a forum search and didn't see anything like I'm wondering here. For those that have used some kind of bedliner for their bumpers, what product did you use? Roll-on or or spray-on? Any comments on how it's holding up / appearance?
I've got 2 new bumpers to install and I think the one...
I've tried to hide every external piece of unfinished metal on my Jeep. The only thing I couldn't find was a cap for the keyhole on the tailgate. Behold what some off-purpose use for a product can accomplish.

Here's 2 pics of my driver side tie rod connection. It seems off kilter to me. I installed the Yeti Steer Smarts steering combo of track bar, drag link and tie rod about 600 miles ago. I rechecked the torque on everything at 300.miles as per instructions. There seems to be an equal amount of...
So when I bought my Gladiator new, the dealer had already installed the Mopar 2" lift and 37x13.5" tires on TIS Offroad wheels. It had a pretty severe front rake to the tune of about 1.5" lower in the front. I have a pretty heavy 13.5k lb winch I'm going to install and after looking at lots of...
I just received my Cruise series of a complete set of 8 Core 4x4 control arms. I had the install instructions before they arrived and the torque specifications for the jam nuts had 2 different sizes 1 1/2" and 1 5/8". So, I ordered a couple of crowfoot wrench heads for those sizes to be able...
I'd watched several of Eddie's videos on the [Banned Site] channel on YouTube. So I decided to become a member on the [Banned Site] forum. Got the typical you'll get an email when an admin approves your account message. A few days later I got an email that says:
"spanishmack, unfortunately, the...
I recently posted here about "Steering Wobble Paranoia" (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/steering-wobble-paranoia.97564/#post-1561842). Since that post I went to develop a full on death wobble. So, to start tackling it I got 4 Wheel Parts to put in some Dynatrac ball joints...
Long post warning. TL;DR: Is any amount of steering wheel feedback wobble normal?.
So about a month ago, one morning when I hit the same little bump on the bridge on the road I live off of, I got some shaking in the steering wheel that was somewhat sustained. I slowed down and it went away...
