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

Next venture fad skid. One of the holes on the bottom didn match up perfectly so I’ll prob have to shave a lil off on the skid so I can get the last bolt in.

Pretty easy project today. Added bestop, sunrider. Think I’m really going to like this mod.

I did this 3 days ago, but anyway I didn’t like the orange that comes on the Mojave. At least I didn’t like it on the Hydro Blue, so I painted the tow hooks and badge. I removed the hood and fender logos. I replaced the tailgate Jeep badge with a black one. I like the clean look, but more importantly I can move forward with a blank canvas!

If anyone else has rebels xplor rack, did you have issues with the carriage bolts? Such a pain in my ass.

Ummmm…….. not suppose to put the carriage bolts in your ass…..

Maybe he is using them for butt plugs. You never know how kinky some people get.

Put the doors back on today. But it was a fun weekend without them.

Installed @Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro fog lights. Wow these are bright, and another super easy install.

The ground plane project for UHF and VHF continues on. I've done the mount of both the quarter wave antennas. I raised the UHF one a bit higher and gave it its own ground plane. The raised white antenna is the Sirius/GPS antenna. I'm doing the final fitting of everything. So this phase will be done soon. Then running all the antenna wires (3 and possibly 4 if I get a cell phone signal booster) is the next planned step.

In the future there is room to mount a Starlink panel antenna and some solar panels as well.

The purpose being UFO hunting I presume.

The only thing better than a tinfoil hat is covering your whole roof with aluminum. They'll never get me now.

Adding ARB duel compressor and 2-gallon tank. These will be for air tools and the Grover 1510 emergency horn.
Driving by Summit near Akron had to stop in a get these items. I was with my daughter who commented it's like Santa's workshop! You order your parts in one area then you wait to pick them up in another. She said in the back warehouse area they are building everything then it pops out the little windows all done. All the summit folks rushing around the pickup area reminded her of elves. She hopes they all wear Santa hats at Christmas time, haha.

My shocks should be here tomorrow. Next is finding time to install the lift.

I thought you already installed them. 5100's? or are you replacing them?

Damn, you must work out or have arms like Shaq if you threw them on.
I'd have to grunt and groan and cuss, and then maybe...........

that would be me rotating my Mazda 3 wheels, LOL! I used the wheel Dolly on the JT and didn’t strain anything! rolled the tire into position, slide the Dolly around the tire, couple pumps to get it To the right height, slight rotation to align the studs and the Dolly rolled the wheel onto the hub without even dragging on the studs. HF Dolly for the win!

I am considering getting one of those - lifting tires off and on is, well, I'm not as young and fit as I used to be.

Gator, I'm going to have to thank you for letting me know these existed, because 37 inch MT's and wheels weighing in at about 120 always sucks to move, now 5 tire rotations won't be so bad.

Now I just need to figure out how not to spend over 300 bucks every time I go to harbor freight!

That’s easy - just visit more often!
they have 2 versions of this Dolly - for tire rotations the cheaper one should be more than adequate. This was a gift so I didn’t complain!
I’ve seen posts with folks using all sorts of help tools, but this provides the help and doesn’t require a hand to balance anything.
