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

[JTGuy]

I got my painted cowel on and it looks great. Pulling the wiper arms is a real pain.
Now I have my Fusion 4x4 TR and DL to install. Should be fun as the rotor dust shield has to be trimmed a little for the huge TR ends to fit.
I got an e mail today that my Terra speakers are on the way, mixed reviews on them so we'll see. will have to be great to be better than the Alpine system ones.

My
wife has the xc60 plug-in hybrid. It’s amazing. She and you will love it. It’s a great compliment to the JT. Fast, quiet, low fuel consumption.

Had an XC90 T8 R-design. Still miss that car. Was definitely fun to drive (on the road), had tons of space inside for my family of 5 and when the battery was charged, it would scoot for a heavy pig! It didn’t get great gas mileage the way I drove it, lol.

Got my phone mount installed. It feels very well built.

Put on a new to me steel rear bumper.

Got some lights (these are actually going on the front but look like the ones that are going on the back) that I decided to mount to the underside of the bumper (no I'm not going to rock crawl with them). I would have preferred to have them more outboard, but the slope of the bumper makes them too crooked.

So I think I'll just mount them where it's flatter unless I want to make a mount that straightens them out.

Waiting on the real lights, some electrical parts and some spare time to wire them up.

That’s a nice color rig ??

Thank you. I love being one of one around town.

I took my JT up on the trails today. It was a fun run and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Nice area. I try to get out there at least once a year!

Drove mine to the dealer so the wife could try out a '24 Wrangler Sahara. Unfortunately she drove a Volvo XC90 earlier so the Wrangler was "super loud" at highway speeds. Thought for sure we were finally going to have an in-sync garage :/

My wife fell for a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. It took a few days driving as a rental while her other car was in the shop & she was sold. Not a rock crawler but at least it is in the family! It actually is pretty capable for easy to moderate trails, she just won't let me take it on moderate trails (as far as she knows). It is working great for longer road trips where offroading isn't the primary purpose, we can still take advantage of some dirt trails while traveling.

After a year of ownership and lots of trails, I finally got it stuck. To make matters worse, we were on an unplanned "snooze cruise" with our son and infant so I didn't bring any of my self extraction gear. Luckily this mud hole was close enough to the road so the local wrecker could get their incredible IH Loadstar close enough to yank me out. On a positive note, the wife suggested we get a winch!

Winch and (for me) a decked system in the bed so I NEVER go anywhere without recovery gear. It is just always in the bed. Locked and waiting.

Installed a set of Combat Off-road Tail Lights I picked up this past weekend at a show. Met the owner of the company and although a simple design I find them very effective and super bright. They work flawlessly and made of aluminum. The green truck below is the owners and the white one mine.

Gave her a hand wash/wax today. Getting ready for winter. :/

Blind spot... fml

Omg that was a pretty funny autocorrect. So I have a feeling these will never be able to work with blind spot monitors. The only way that you could get them to work is if they were made of plastic. But the whole point of this style is to have it more flush with the body unlike the Oracle ones and then I like the aluminum because it will last longer than plastic. I find it kind of negate anyways because I'm running wide-angle mirrors made by Suma performance. I had a similar type experience on my Tacoma when I went to a metal bumper that also negated the blind spot monitor on that truck. I learned to live with it considering for all these years I've never had blind spot monitors.
But yeah as of right now I don't miss not having them. Of course I had to use my tazer to disable the function so that it wouldn't trigger a code.

we actually got her a grand Cherokee that we had for a whopping two weeks before she finally admitted it was a mistake and she did not want it. Took a bit of a loss but we traded that towards my gladiator so I can't complain too much!
