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

How the fuck do you lift the spare up to the rack?

Using the spare tire winch that's normally under the truck. It's on the rack, now. Easier to stow than crawling under the truck.

@BlueScapegoat I agree with azmojave here. If you are worried about aerodynamics, its low enough that you aren't dirupting the airflow. If you are worried about having an even roofline, that will be tough to get because of the iKamper's shape. Just run with it!!

I'm not worried about anything, I just like messing with and modifying stuff. This is a Jeep forum, right? Did I stumble into the wrong place?

Clearance is a consideration though, to an extent. If clearance wasn't an issue I'd have gone full height rack and a full sized tent. I just think it's kind of silly to stack longitudinal rails on lateral rails on longitudinal rails on lateral rails to mount something.

Clayton 2.5 Overland + lift and 4.56 gears installed. Got a lot more lift than expected, and the 4.56 gears are perfect for 35's. Holding 55 in 8th at about 1700 rpms.

Got my 255/80/17 Wildpeak ATs installed, much much quieter than the BFG mud tires that came on it! Contemplating a 3/4-1" front level just to make it a little higher up front..

Also installed a cheap shorty antenna, got sick of the original one whipping my soft top in high winds.

Very happy with my tonneau cover I put on this afternoon. ??

Sometimes it’s the little things. Over the July 4th holiday I needed some bits from Front Runner and I was a little short for free shipping. So like a sucker I chose something I don’t need but bought it anyway?

Fast forward to today I decided to call in sick because I was hoping a decal I ordered from underground graphics would show but it didn’t. So as I was cleaning up a few messes in the shop, I thought, are there any mods I could do today.

I looked over and saw the the front runner storage box that I had only ordered to recieve free shipping.

I had been thinking about a clean way to mount or strap down a small container close to the tailgate. So I came up with this. And it fit perfect.

Not secure enough for heavy off-road but perfect for daily use and light trails. And easily removable.

Those Wheels look scandalously close to Rubicon red, just saying.

That’s why I love’em. Something about that rubicon red, sarge green, and gobi ?

I had an appointment to have the rear window leak looked at on July 26th. I couldn't make the appointment any longer and asked the dealer if I could drop it off early. No problem they said. Yesterday they said it's all done, and that they replaced the rear window. The frame was cracked in several places.
Got it back home and it is now waiting for the bed cap to go back on. I may need to see if the new glass leaks first.

Sorry to hear about the trouble! I hope you everything was able to get fixed, and it's good to go now!

I'm hoping for the future, the panels will become interchangeable. Looking forward to that!

Do you like this combo? Low shine?
