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

[Shibbyjeep]

Me too, they look good! I'm putting a new bumper on it probably next week. Guy at work is giving it to me. Take off from a new wrangler

Awesome. Another plastic one or the factory steel?

Another plastic one, but its free, is the new style and looks great! I'll post pictures of that too. Thanks for the support, I can't stop peeking out of the window at it!

I could barely see mine from the restaurant at dinner today. Involuntarily, I told my wife “Oh. I can see the jeep”. I got a pretty solid eye roll. It doesn’t end ever.

Yeah I get that! You're definitely not alone. My wife told me she wanted to be a jeep today, the eufamisms commenced!

I installed the rear diff shock on my Mojave , wheel hop in the sand happened with the Mojave then the other seven trucks I have had on the sand over forty years. Was not terrible but the shock stopped it totally can’t make it happen now and only way to say it is the rear end just feels planted and tighter. I consider it a great mod. Have to thank Matt “Green71” who brought up to us, he is gone now moved onto full-size for towing a big camper ……Jack

^^^^^ pretty much the same assessment with my experience.

Replaced the factory bed tie downs with the Teraflex ones. The roll up tonneau cover has a "gutter" that hangs low, making the factory tie downs nearly useless. The loops on the Teraflex ones are a bit lower and provide plenty of clearance for hooks.

I saw those in my friends glad recently. So much nicer.

Recently installed a 2" Mopar (Bilstein) lift kit. Feeling very old after all those 185/200 ft lb bolts on the control arms. Also installed a Bilstein damper (77073006AB) and a Steer Smarts track bar while I was under there.

I thought it would look bad with the stock tires, but they are passable until I get some larger pizza cutters on.

Coming from a '21 Mojave and '22 Power Wagon, which were both awesome in their own ways... I think I'm sticking with this one for a long time.

Proved out that Glue Tread works and works well... As with a good paint job prep is king...

Cut the tire on Trail 44 at Windrock right as I was trying to crawl a set of 12 foot triple ledges.
That tire doesn't even have a pound of air in it.

Glue Tread attempt one got me to the parking lot -

Lots of prep later (if you pause the video on that patch, you can tell I removed some of the lettering), I used a dremel tool with a grinding bit and a flap disk bit to smooth the surface, after that it held.
You can hear me say it in the video, 3 hours, over 160 miles at highway speed. Now five hours later, it's still at the same PSI.

Video won’t load for me. But still. Impressive. No spare?

Nope, was trying my luck on 42s...because a spare 42 would be obnoxious to move/store/load. Will have a spare now, just will have a patch...also forgot to mention, month old tires with only two wheeling trips...

Here's a screen grab -
