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

[RudeJeepin]

I live at 8,600 feet, get many feet of snow every year, and haven’t had a problem yet with snow obstructing the LED lights. But most of our snow is on the drier side.

I've had my halogens pack up with snow once, didn't have to pull over, but I would of if the work yard would have been any further away.
Being an employee that has to plow snow at night, I need reliable lights to get to work. My LED fog lights suck in the snow for packing up.
There is a reason why our snow is called Cascade concrete at times.
Our snowplows have LED headlights mounted 6 ft or so oof the ground and are heated, there are nights weree I have to stop every 30 to 40 minutes to clean them.

I spent 3 hours getting it dirty and 1.5 attempting to get it clean

My son and I installed a Metalcloak 4 1/2” lift. My Gladiator is now growing up. Looks funny on stock 33s but not for long. Nitto mud grapplers should be in and installed tomorrow.

Installed my winch plate, winch, HAM radio and antenna.

Loaded it up with the usual stuff for a day of wheeling on the 4th - tools, recovery gear, folding table. Pop up canopy, bbq…

And plugged in the fridge so it can be nice and cool for the trip. Looking forward to some amazing tacos and ice cold beers in the forest!

Which winch plate did you go with?

Which winch plate did you go with?

It's the winch plate integrated into my bumper.

Schrockworks stubby bumper w/ integrated winch plate and skid plate. All are 1/4" plate steel and have been on my last 5 jeeps.

Sadly, Schrockworks went out of business a few years ago so I've been holding on to this one as I've not found anything that compares.

Jeeez.. this damn Gladiator and forum is going to bankrupt me.

sooo. I ordered my Terra Accoustics today. Ordered MB Quart Sound bar speakers and knee panel speakers. Already dod the Kicker powered 10” sub soo all of this combined with my Phoenix 12.1” should really wake up the sound.

I was on their email list waiting for over a year for availability. Why advertise when you can't deliver. Not good business and Zero comfort level if warrantee service is needed.

I"m now leaning toward these with Kicker components.

What did this accomplish? You said you were looking at an anti-rock which basically is a full-time/automatic swaybar disconnect. Instead you just replaced Your factory sway bar with a factory sway bar from a different Jeep?

Did you also install disconnects?

Did you gain articulation in the front went off roading?

What I ended up doing was purchasing the Hellwig front sway bar (for the JK), and installed it on the Mojave. How steady, and stable the driving feels now, is so amazing. I figured, if I already invested a couple of $$$$ in a HD steering system, why would I install the antirocks which increases body roll.

For the disconnects, this is where I am debating whether to keep the synergy disconnects to match the suspension all around with the MC, or invest in the EVOs.

I would definitely recommend upgrading the factory front sway bar to the Hellwig one, it's pretty legit.

Finally took my various first aid supplies in the truck and consolidated them in a nice molle pouch

Drove to Power Tank in Lodi, CA today to pick up a 15 pound tank and air up kit. Can’t begin to tell you how great the customer service was. The owner even came out and wanted to check out my Jeep. He was very complimentary but the company trucks/Jeeps in the parking lot looked like they were on magazine covers. It was very refreshing to see this attitude towards customer satisfaction. They let me pick out the color of tank, hose type, regulator type, air gauge, and mounting hardware to build the kit. They took the time to show me how to mount it and how to operate the valves to fill tires or operate air tools. Even the recommendation for lunch was outstanding. Definitely worth the four hour round trip drive!

I have a 10 and 15lb tanks...collecting dust. They were great when work...have CO2 in them. I found the tank to ultimately be inconvenient. What no one will tell you when you purchase is that every 2 years you have to get the tank Float tested. The majority of the time you have to send the tank off to have this done. I found no one that would garrantee that I'd get the same tank back.

I've found my ARB Twin / Kraken system to be better. As long as my vehicle runs I have an endless supply of air. Will it take longer? Going from 20 to 38psI on stock tires I'm aired up in 5-10 minutes. Easy set up, monitor over the vehicles TPS system. No worrying if I can find a fill station, no worrying about getting it float tested. It just works. My $0.02 from experience.

Scored some Warn tube doors on Craigslist and had to try them out. If not my thing I’ll offer them up on the forum or trade for something else.

For me, filling up all 4 tires in 30 seconds is pretty amazing. The local 4x4 shop fills co2, and I can do 6 or 7 air ups with 37’s. I even stopped bringing the spare compressor, as it’s been completely reliable. On long trips I’ll bring a small m12 Milwaukee inflator just in case, but it never gets used.
