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

[WILDHOBO]

Some done yesterday some done today. Wired my winch back up and reinstalled my factor 55 flat link then reinstalled my Auxbeam lights on my new to me bumper. Today I finished fitting my motobilt highline fenders, now they are ready for powdercoat that I'll do sat while installing the bobbed bed.

That thing is psycho cool. You’re building a beautiful jeep.

After reading all of this, nothing this exciting. But I’m super happy. The vertical axis of the passenger side mirror hasn’t worked for at least a year. Replaced the driver door wiring harness. Got a new one from Benny @AllMoparParts.com. It is NOT easy to get that harness out. Initially you’re feeling confident. Until you find out that not only are their two connectors behind the inner panel inside the door, but the wire is routed behind the inner side of the outer door handle. Sandwiched between the plastic piece and the inside of the door skin. So you need to disconnect the glass, remove the female door latch in the door, remove the lock cylinder, remove the outer door handle, and only then, can you replace the wire on the tailgate, in my case. Then it took four times to figure out the reassembly steps to make everything go together correctly. The great news is that everything works, including my previously broken passenger mirror.

What size tires do you have here? Specs in general on the build?

Slowly going down a path I have been avoiding, lol...

Just jump. New shocks will make the landing so much more comfy.

@WILDHOBO That tear down looks intense!! I haven’t actually seen the inside of a Jeep door before so that’s cool. I’d be plastering with sound deadener, even though it probably wouldn’t do much good. I’d do it just because it was in pieces and it’s accessible.

The door did get a pretty decent detail since I was in there. Now that I’ve done it, I know how. If you ever need to, just send me a message and we’ll do a video call. You’d do it in an hour, knowing all the steps. Like it never happened.

Update on the mopar quick disconnect tube door clearance issue. The clearance issue doesn’t exist on the fronts. Only rears. And I definitely items think I can clearance them. And a different tube door might work fine.
