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

[CarolinaGladiator]

Put on some 37/12.50/R17 Patagonia AT/R tires and had them bead balanced. Quiet ride and smooth as silk from 0-85mph. Painted the calipers while the wheels were off.

Removed all factory speakers and installed all new kicker mids and tweeters and a custom box under rear seat with 2-10” pioneer shallow subs.

Your sub setup looks sharp! Do you have the specs for the box? Like how much air space?

Sure thing. I wired them in to the front fender turn signals. I cut 3ft length of pos/neg wire and it was the perfect length to reach the front of the fender. I used posi-taps to splice in for ease of install and to minimize damage to the harness. You could go with much shorter wires if desired, but the front of the fender provided the most room to work and would make any maintenance or troubleshooting easier down the road. The positive turn signal wire is the white and green striped one (see picture). Negative is black. Harnesses are the same for both sides. At a minimum, you'll have to remove the 3 bolts from the fender liner, and the 1 plastic rivet to get good access the harness and route the wires.

I used a wire hanger and some gorilla tape to push the wires from the vents forward through the fender. The wires ride above the fender liner through a small metal channel. Very clean install with no wires exposed.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I was going to add a picture of this weekends projects...but there are literally hundreds of the same picture lol.

Teraflex 1" level - have towing plans in the future so didn't want to do the ful 1.5" and look like an ass dragger when doing so.
Added Rubicon Take off Shocks.

Honestly didn't expect a huge difference in the ride...but to my surprise...it helped out the stiffness quite a bit, less body roll entering and exiting to onramps from the highway. Highway speeds felt substantially better. At slower speeds it seems to be a little rough, but all in all, very happy with what was done.

Threw on the Max-modular rack, gearing up for some RTT action this summer. This is the 10" steel version with the brackets to work with the factory tonneau cover. Overall build quality very solid. Going to watch how the MOPAR tonneau cover brackets interact and see if I get water/dirt in the bed. Hoping the cover can still secure the bed from debris getting underneath.

I have the 18" rack with those brackets. My bed stays totally dry

I will send you a link to we’re you can order one. They make several different boxes 8”,10”12” singles or double. Can’t give them enough credit. It fit perfectly and quality built.
I’ve been into subs along time and this setup is a lot louder then I was expecting from shallow subs.

How does that height impact your rear view mirror use

Thanks! I've seen the groundshaker boxes and am probably going to be getting one soon. I thought you had built your box yourself or paid someone to...I just wanted to check the airspace vs what the groundshaker box advertises. Have you had a chance to take your top off yet? Please post how it sounds with vs w/out the top. Thanks again!!

It’s there, but I don’t feel its a safety issue. I’ll snap a picture for you when I leave work today

Any thoughts?

Just finished trac bar, bumper and grill.

Thanks

Installed the hood vent signal lights. I love these and I think they should be standard. This truck is long and people cant see your signals when merging if they are next to you. (Three lanes and the middle is empty) also thinking of modifying the original with an led so the vent would still work too.
We shall see how the hood flutters with these.
But I love them
