Those pliers with the big lower lip look like they could Crack something open 😬
Okay so channeling my inner Sherlock Holmes , I see you intend on redoing your injectors and charging the batteries through the tail end.
Hey............you have brain cells. 🤔
The pliers. I'll find out when I get the kit.
The injector wrench set. That's for when I do the delete.
Yep, battery charging through the trailer plug. Also if I want to power something from there.

You’re running Anderson plug to the back of the bed right? Can you do a thread with some intermittent pics of this please? I want to run one to the back to make my portable compressor not so portable. I’m fairly confident on it, but more input is always helpful.

$45.76 for the proper bolts to install the bed corner sliders on my Sport S. I tried M8 and M10 from Lowes but I think the threads are different. They started but would bind up after a couple turns. Didn’t want to press my luck too much.

No Anderson plug. Just the 7 pin trailer plug. Nothing that uses lots of power.

I bought the Thor's Lightning Strike compressor with their wiring kit. I plan on running power back to the bed with an Anderson plug. I'm not sure when I'll tackle the project but I'll create a thread when I do. I hope to have it done in the next month or so.

To the topic of this thread, in the last week or so I spent about $800 on the Thor's Lightning Strike Jeep branded air compressor, a bunch of wiring stuff from Amazon for wiring up the air compressor, $45 for a Factor 55 Fast FID, $110 for KC Lites hood light mount, $85 for a 4-LED spot/flood light at Harbor Freight since they only had one in stock, and I think that's it.

Awesome!! The Thors Lightning is pretty awesome. I’ve played with it a little and it does the job well. I want to hard mount it because it does tend to “walk” a bit. Not surprising but a little annoying. If that’s the worst complaint I ever have with it I’m doing pretty darn good.

If I ever get MOLLE panels for my bed then I plan on mounting it to those. Until then I will just sit it on the tailgate.

Their mount mounts onto the bedrail system. Looks pretty good but unsure if it will match up to my bed cap. Might have to do some bendy work to it to get it to fit right.

75% duty cycle aint shabby .. the single motor ARB has a 50% duty cycle and the twin motor version has a 100% duty cycle.

Well, I tried to buy some Halos but the web site wouldn't give me the discount! What a bummer, advertise 30% off and then won't honor the code! So save me $200...

Got 2 AAL slides put in the bed, waiting on Xtrusion-Overland to release the X.O Skeleton for the Gladiator so I can get everything covered again. Drawers were about $1k each.

How are you liking the drawers?

I paid a retired wrench $80 who is also a neighbor to install my longer Mopar front lower control arms, to improve caster.
