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

[Snowcavemike]

Umm, looks like the original reached 99 pages and was closed for more replies. So keep posting here!

I had tint done to front 2 windows, bug deflector installed, wayout style wrap installed, tires cleaned. 303 applied to tonneau cover.

EDIT: forgot to mention possibly the most important mod, ceramic coated grille, grille guard, and double ceramic coated windshield. FU bugs! Try sticking to all my ceramic now..... Stupid bugs.

Finally found

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

The 5100's. I haven't installed the lift yet. Those are the last pieces for now.

Installed Corsa Sport Exhaust

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.

Thanks for letting me know, but it looks like I won't be able to get away with the cheaper one as that one is a bit narrower at 9 inches vs 11 on the Daytona.

My tires are 37x12.5r17's on a 17x9 wheel, the actual tread measures in at just a hair over 10.5 inches, so the Daytona's may JUST barely fit.

Pistol mount to the JL but doing the same to the JT.

How's that attached?

How's that attached?

Pulled the belt clip out of holster and drilled hole. Attached with a 1/2 longer bolt and 1/2 spacer in place of front center console bolt. Bolt on clip slide holster back on clip.

Need to drill hole in front of clip big enough for bolt to go all the way through first half and bolt the back half secure. Hope this make since. Maybe I will take more pics when I do the JT.

I took the falcon TS steering stabilizer off and put the AEV steering stabilizer on. Its wild how much better the regular SS feels over the falcon through shaft. I can see the falcon being great for a more off road crowd. I got it with the hopes of it helping while towing since it has the ability to change settings, but found the medium setting is just soft for normal driving...and the hard setting too much for normal driving. It wasnt bad while towing but i felt like when I hit a bump it just didnt dampen it enough for my liking. sorta of a goldy locks and the pourage scenario...

Ill be sending my used fox IFP in to get rehab from the manufacturer and MAY put that back on. But so far im VERY impressed with the AEV SS.

Is this a “neutral” shock or does it push out on its own? I’ve had experience in the past with stabilizers that caused my steering to drift because of the shock pushing out. I can’t seem to find that info on their website, so what did you observe during installation?

its a neutral shock. BUT traditional shocks will give a little "push back" at full or nearly full turn since the internal oil is under pressure. (see link below, at 5:00 -> 5:40) Having had both I actually PREFER that little bit of "push". Really its not a push in that it moves me on the highway, all it does is give me a little more pressure with the wheel returning to center.



Where folks have issues with steering stabilizers is that they dont "prime" them. When you first install it you need to rotate it left and right to full tile 5 or 6 times in each direction. That sets its up to not push you around. Doing this has worked for me three times with three stabilizers between my wifes JLU and my JT.

@azmojave I added the video, forgot it before

Not much, replaced the start battery.

So, are you an LEO or like, what's the purpose? I'd think with already being in your truck the ideal response to any situation would be to just drive away if you're a civilian.

escaping is not always the quickest option. I have seen countless cases of attempted carjacking where the victim attempted to drive away only to be shot by the carjacker. Also a simple show of force does wonders against criminals who haven't made up their minds on committing a crime yet.

Driving away will get you shot but reaching for the gun won't?

Because I have a right to bear arms. I reenlisted in the service and deployed overseas in a war to fight for those freedoms so we have them if we chose to use them.
I like to carry a weapon when driving around in the forest. Also carry when I'm hiking and it's a great place to keep it when driving.
