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

[JTdiRtyD]

Finally installed the rear half of my topliner. Had to remove the JCR rack and softopper first, didn't have help to lift the hard top off so I just flipped it over on the bed and did everything there. Worked out well enough.

JCR rack is back on the truck, but need to decide if I want to notch out the decked drawers to clear the soft topper linkage or just not use it. If I do use it I need to get new clamps made as well. The JCR setup is temporary until I get my enclosed half rack setup completed, so not sure if notching the decked is really worth it, but I also don't want the bed filling with snow to then melt all over the garage floor so...

installed bed rails and hilift jack mounts. This next month is going to be fun! Xtruison Overland bed rack is being built, Metal Cloak fenders are being painted. Can’t wait to get the setup done and pick a tent! I loaded 40 bags of mulch for the spring clean up and it made me think I might need heavier rate springs in the rear for the camping set up so I may be redoing the lift as well.

Love those wheels!!

Thanks! Black Rhino Tusk wheels. The rock ring is replaceable and I wanted to be tad different with the green. When I have my build done I’ll be heading out to Moab for a couple week trip.

The replaceable rock ring is a game changer. Of course this would make me more carefree with my mall parking curb rubbing! Love the green accents! My old Method 703s got a beating and the only replaceable parts were the zinc bolts on the fake beadlock rim. My new KMC Dirty Harry's haven't been scarred yet, but once the first abrasion is received I will feel less stress.

Time to find a curb haha

Drained and replaced my transfer case fluid with Royal Purple Synchromax. I about had a heart attack when a plastic tip for the fill hose came off and went into the transfer case. Luckily, I had enough spare fluid to partialy fill the transfer case to push the plastic tip to the drain hole and pull it out with neddle nose pliers.

Be nice. You're eager to label from behind a keyboard. Here's a picture from my work a week ago that should dispel your belief that I am in any way a snowflake. If you're as intelligent as you are mouthy you can find this point on a map.: N 11°26'24.77" E 50°37'10.58".

Like I said, sorry to derail this thread. Just wanted to close the loop on our little dick poster, @Greg_L, before I start my crew rest cycle.

Is this the 21st century way of saying... blow me?

Made a tailgate board out of some 1/2" food graded hdpe sheet. Couldn't find any that aren't black. Took total of 4 hrs from cutting, measure, measure, messure, and drilled lol.

Will you be filleting fish? Or is that for camping/protection?

Lol. No filleting fish. Just wanted a solid surface for camping, food prep and easier to see things at night with an amber topper lamp.

Had the Mountain Hatch replacement panel on my Tacoma. Also a food grade thick plastic that did a great job as a food prep platform with my swing out spare mounted stove. Good job!

Installed a Superwinch 10k-rated synthetic winch on a Maximus-3 winch mount. 2024 Rubicon.

Same over here. I was completely full when the tubbing slipped off the squeeze bottle and fell into the pumpkin. Had to go back to O'rileys and buy a new clean oil catch pan to drain and retrieve the tube.

installed the MB quart front kit and 6x9's in the roll bar. didn't do the subs because that is being handled by a skar 10 in fox box under the rear seat. Now it sounds like it should.

How do you like the mb quartz

 

[stormshadow]

How do you like the mb quartz

had it for about 2 days then took the jeep in for a recall. So its been in the dealership. But the highs and Mids are crisper and clear. I did the 6x9's over the sound bar and without my sub I think its missing some bass, but with the sub its great. I did not do the mb quart sub as I already had one.
