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

[mx5red]

Actually I’m having it rebuilt. Dropped it off at a driveline shop today. They’re replacing the rear tube and 1350 joint, and rebalancing. It’ll cost a fraction of a full replacement, and I’ll have it back this week more than likely.

I jest?
Honestly, that sounds like they’re just making a new driveshaft!

I didn’t do anything to my Gladiator today. Anyone else? I did give her a passing glance while mowing the lawn though.

All boots are fine. The front tube and joint are fine. Bearing and mid joints are fine. Just needs a new u joint proactively, and a rear tube. It will cost WAY more to replace it.

I really like that flag decal on the rear window slider. Can you tell us where you got that? Thanks

Yes sir! @Underground Graphics can hook you up… 100% recommend.
orrrr… somebody can buy my gladiator that is attached to the decal. ?

Grab handles.

Grab handles.

How do you like those?

I'm happy with them.
a) They don't hang like fabric ones that you have to dodge when getting in and out of the vehicle.
b) They are solid, I can rock the entire Gladiator side to side with no wobble from the handle.
c) They use existing holes in the frame (I did use a couple of rubber washers I had laying around to not scratch the paint when I was bolting them in).

Do those work with the sunrider?

Do those work with the sunrider?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that. The feedback I can provide is for my setup with the Freedom panels.

1.5 inch Terraflex and 3/4 inch Daystar installed today.

Looks great! What tire size is that? I've got the same Freedom edition wheels and have been contemplating new wheels when I get new tires.

Also how did you black out the taillights?

So the tires are BFG KO2 285/75R17 on factory wheels. The fit perfectly fine with no lift, I just wanted some extra height. The rear tails are some that ordered from the LED factory to replace the factory halogens. They took awhile to come in but have worked great.

It would probably have worked fine with a couple of LED light strips attached to it.

That would have added torque and horsepower.

Boring stuff. Oil change, engine and cabin air filter changes. They were filthy after a dusty camping trip a few weeks ago.

You know it. Sounds like a missed opportunity. Maybe next time...LOL
