What Did You Do FOR Your Gladiator Today?

[JCappy]

Makes sense. Those with the white letters should look good with your white truck. Good choice.

This didn't seem to fit into any of the other "What did you do ____ your Gladiator" so I made it for all the ancillary things which are necessitated by our beloved hunks of metal, plastic, and petroleum products.

Been wanting this for a while.

I lifted the back 3" and didn't like stuffing wood blocks under the jack to get sufficient altitude.

This should cover it for the 3½" lift on the front. 28½"!! 24¼" without the load spreader which I don't think is going to work too well.

Harbor Freight piled all their features into this jack: low profile, high lift, and the all convenient foot pump for $229 no discount.
I hate paying retail but my last excursion was way too wonky trying to make the shorter jacks work.

My new jack is excited to meet the Gladiator.

Well like you said there is a , "to", "with", "for"
I adjusted my trackball dragging bar and rotated my tires. Need to adjust the drag link just a little more .

Gave it a wash and wipe down.
Unwound and re-wrapped the winch to lube the mechanisms.
Wiped down the engine compartment and sprayed it with peppermint oil to keep the rodents away.
Covered it up for the next week or two until I can get out on the trail again.

I ordered some 35s today and will have them installed when I get back from a trip to Illinois on the 18th.
I went with the Wildpeak R/T01s in 35 x 11.5 x 17 so I could use my factory wheels.
I'll probably stick with the 35s until I wear out the Mojave suspension and then lift it to 3.5 and go with 37s or 38s and regear for those. I figure I've got at least a few years to save up the dough for that upgrade.
If I can wait that long.

Going to give this stuff a try this year

I don't really have a rat problem here, and squirrels don't touch the wires. But there is some rodent poo in the engine lower intake valley. I suspect it is from mice or packrats while out camping. I primarily got it for the LJ since it is covered and won't be driven as much as the JT or TJ until it's all built and fixed up. There was enough in this bottle to soak down the engine bay of all 3 vehicles, and cover the top and sides of the gas tank and some additional wires here and there that look 'tasty'. I still have probably an inch worth of product left in the bottom of the bottle. I dont know how well this stuff actually works, but it is a pretty strong odor so I can see how it might deter some. Replacing a wiring harness after a camping trip is the last thing I want to deal with.

I took a load off. Waiting to raise it higher until I trust it more.

It's not my daily driver so backing in is not a big deal for a few days.

Im not a fan of keeping it on all of the time, but very handy when needed.

I backed into a parking spot at lunch and when I came out my Gladiator made a friend! (Mine’s the red one)

Plus I got these little guys, which look almost identical to mine! The small one is a hot wheel I found a while back and the larger one I recently found in my dealership’s parts department. They look great in my office!!

Looks freakin awesome in red.

I did a 4 wheel tire rotation. Only one hour and done .. pretty good for a 65 year old I think .
