JP's Super-Duper-Gladiator Build Thread

[spazzyfry123]

So not only did they not even peep about the early change, the girl came out and asked if I wanted the rotation. I said, "Yes, even with 37s?"
she replied, "Yup, we don't care."

I wonder if she says that if she’s not the one doing the work!

ODO rolled to the 5k mark today.

Even though the DIC said I had like 40% left, I went and got the oil changed and the 37" piggys rotated.

Damn Service was expensive, MSRP $62310.00
net cost today: $0.00

THANKS JEEPwave!

Glad you found a good service dept down there! You need to drive more! I was at 17% yesterday when I went in for first service. They did a five-tire rotation for me with the after market rims/tires. Cost me $15 for Spudnutz donuts for the service dept! They also saved my dumbass when they figured out I should not be using the stock lug nuts on my Ion 171s! Can’t believe how lucky I was to get all four wheels on correctly and drive 6500 miles on them without a serious problem! Maybe I should do my own work sometimes!

I walked over to the 2 techs and apologized, they both laughed, one said as long as they weren't the real MIL spec wheels as they were so heavy they'd probably need a forklift.
The other guy laughed and said he already was down to 1 nut.

well, @Pat2Alaska and @SleepyJeep can get off my balls now about how I park at home.
The Super-Duper-Gladiator is too easy to pick out and if someone were to do something to it, I'd have to find their home and burn it to the ground.
So I bough it a new little buddy and joined the Granite Crystal Club.

This will be my new work car, pick it up Monday night after work.

k, so I suppose I need to get back to the Super-Duper-Gladiator.
Bestop Sun Rider update:
OK, This is THE BEST Mod I've done. The ability to hop in, pop the two levers, and flip it open to go anywhere is AMAZING!
I was worried, I didn't like the look of it flapped open, before I got it.
BUT once I installed it, I LOVE THIS THING!
I thing it actually helps remove turbulence while driving.
My only issue is now I have to worry about burning my bald head...
LOVE IT!!!

My wife isn’t a “Jeeper” but she has been actively soliciting this purchase. Glad to hear so many like this thing.

What’s the difference between the twill and black diamond material options?

The twill is the better fabric, the factory soft Tonneu and the OEM Premium soft top are twill.
They say it's thicker and less noise than the Black Diamond, which I've heard referred to as 'sail cloth'.

I added an Alien Shade with the Sunrider. Works great for my bald head.... Note, you either have testosterone or hair, can't have both!!!
