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

[Rusty PW]

No EMAIL. I just check this site about a month or two after the end of each calendar quarter. These updates are for UCONNECT 5 equipped vehicles.

Last time I up-dated. They sent me an email. Them wanting $99.00. Was $149,00. And they sent me a flash stick to plug in to up-date. You got the new larger screen in the '24's.

Replaced the lower eyelets on the front shocks in order to accommodate the larger springs. Somehow wrenched my back. Dammit. Hurts like a mother. But I love this AGM shock vise jaw set. Fantastic tool.

Link for the vise block? Thanks

Absolutely. I highly recommend. It worked great and not a single scratch on the shock shaft. Very well made.

So far these updates are free, glabally, for 24-25 Wrangler,24-25 JT, amd Ram owners with UCONNECT5 (Probably others). Bit of a pain, you have to download, unzip, copy to USB stick, then install. All of that takes a couple of hours. Install takes about 35 minutes.

Switched around some hardware and did some measurements. Swaybar links are back in. I swapped to nylocks and orange thread locker. I got fed up with the oval lock nuts.

The only things on the front end not torqued are the track bar and drag link adjustment sleeve. I’m meeting those until it’s on the ground. I’m still going to change up control arm lengths as well to push the axle a hair forward and make the drive shaft angle a little more gentle without destroying the caster angle.

Rotating the 42” tires on the adventure motorhome is less fun, as my lift won’t handle the motorhome so it has to be done sitting on the ground. Fortunately, the adventure motorhome has hydraulic jacks that will lift the motorhome off the ground, but I still have to use a shovel under the tire to lift it slightly get it mounted on the axle…and my wife of 45 years helps get the rotor aligned. We’ve practiced changing a tire ourselves since we spend a lot of time dispersion camping, so need to be able to change a 42 inch tire without help.

when I have to remove the 37 inch tires on the Gladiator, I just pull it on the lift in the shop and I have a tire lift I built using a trailer tongue jack and some angle iron so I don’t have to lift the tires…way too heavy to remove without a mechanical advantage at 66 years young….

That will only handle a 11" wide tire. The one I got from Summit Racing will handle a 12" wide 37’s.

Grille update

Got my truck back from the regear. Feels great but taking it easy as suggested on the first 100 miles(at about 50 now with what they put on in 3 drives they did at the shop)

Well, I went to the dealership to have my self-installed 115v outlet activated. No luck. The tech said that there were fuse connectors missing. Does anyone with a 115v outlet in the bed have this fuse?

I will go look at mine and report back.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Couldnt make out which position your picture was over the fuse box, but I just took an over the top of my entire fuse box. I have the outlet in the bed so should have whatever you're looking for.

Thanks Trent. You don’t have it either. It’s F110 which is for the 115v Inverter. But my 115v inverter works in the back of the center console. Weird.

I thought the 50amp was the inverter?
