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

[SmokedTrail22]

I replaced the stock suspension with some rubicon takeoffs and added the teraflex 1.5” leveling kit. This was my first “big” mod and think it turned out great! What should I do next?

Installed the Powerstop Z36 brake kit I bought during Prime Day(s). Factory front pads still had about 75% material left and rear had over 80% (38k miles). The stock brakes weren't bad (I don't tow). I'll see if these new ones live up to the reviews.

They are a reasonably priced upgrade that you’ll be happy with. They’re not a “big brake kit”, but they’re leaps and bounds better than stock. Enjoy no more rust and almost no brake dust. I have them on mine, and have used them on several vehicles. I just put them on our Volvo. So much better.

Im in a flux also on tires @Shibbyjeep
As I told @WILDHOBO the off road capabilities of the Mickey Thompson MT was very good . They have great grip on road they grip and corner well can get a little touchy in heavy rain but what has really rubbed me wrong is they are slightly egg shaped. Yep thats right. The tire shop told me so I ordered them through the net was in a pinch had to have them that day. They had a whale of a time trying to get them balanced and I still belive them not to be exactly correct as they vibrate at certian speeds. They have grown increasingly noisy as they have gotten toward the last 20-25% of their life span . I am really wanting to know if anyone tried the MT all terrains ? And if they got really noisy toward the last part of their life span . Yes . I ALWAYS run them clear to the wear bars and get all my money's worth so I want to know how bad they get .

I’ve had two sets of the Baja boss at’s. They’re amazing. No complaints. No noise even at the end. But call Mickey to ask for psi recommendations. If 37x12.5x17, use 27 cold. But it varies wildly depending on size.

Looks amazing. Drove it until you find something you’d like it to do better. It all depends on use case.

This is better advice. I just see a plastic bumper and it makes me cringe. Lol. Listen to Dan.

I actually agree with you. Unless it’s not going to see trails, which is of course fine, a winch is a good investment. It’s a safety tool. But if it’s a beach cruiser or similar, and you’ll never use the winch, don’t put it on for looks.

Haha I do agree. I’m not the biggest fan of the plastic bumbers. I do want to eventually use it as it should be used
