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

[Chief_jeep]

I googled wide removable mud flaps. A few option depending on your like. The tubes may stick out too far when wheeling. I used the hitch mount for RV many years ago. They look horrible, but save the day

These looked pretty slick too

Haha those are massive. I appreciate it. I’m going to be changing up my rear bumper soon and will be losing my hitch so a hitch mounted version won’t work.

I'm now a pro at installing leveling kits.. Installed the Daystar 3/4" level last night and unfortunately I followed the directions and replaced the factory isolators with the Daystars, and gained 1/4" lift.

Turns out you're actually supposed to stack the Daystar and the factory isolators, so I took everything apart and stacked them, turns out that's the trick! Gained my 3/4" lift up front. Second attempt took me 48 minutes from start to finish.

Very happy with the result, I only wanted to get rid of a *little* rake, so it's sitting exactly how I wanted it.

I put a new bigger main battery in.

I put a new bigger main battery in.

???? Enquiring minds would love to know lol

Added 2 wheels to it! No, it’s not a dually. Used it to pick up a new bike for myself. (Ignore the grass. It’s been over 100° every day for a couple weeks and I’ve been lazy)

 

[WILDHOBO]

Installed Powerstop Z36 rotors and pads on the front. The rears haven’t arrived yet. I was sick of brake fade on long off road descents. It was getting to be a safety issue. Hopefully this fixes it. Performed the break-in procedure and everything worked perfectly. Not a sound out of the brakes.

While my bro was trying to re-splice his front passenger wheel sensor ( that we jacked up while installing his leveling spacer)

I decided to add 5hp with this new decal.

As well as putting silly colored trim rings (that I purchased after way to many drinks) on my Terra acoustic tweeters) ?

So all in all it was a good day for it being 100 plus degrees outside, and an even better day if the splice holds up for awhile.

Got this installed and finally took the top off for the first time!

 

[Amfield5]

More info? Where did you mount them and how did the wiring go? How do they look?

I’ll get some more pics tomorrow for ya. I originally got the hardwire kit but for the life of me (and due to the hot florida sun) I couldn’t get it to work. So, I’m going to keep it and try to wire it again. I think the connectors I got from Amazon were bad so I’ll have to get some different ones. For now I hid the wire in the trim and have it plugged into the USB port.

 

[Amfield5]

Good job. Bet that was like working in a steam room during the installation.

Now .... come hook mine up .. lol.

It was terrible ?! I thought that because it rained it would be cooler but I quickly found out that was not the case. It was just like a sauna… installation fee is going to be a steep one! I’ll send the quote in 7-10 business days

Just the bigger size that should have come from the factory in it…I got it at oreilly’s…

I have a Rubicon that is the twin to yours. Where did you get the black wrap on the rear around the tailgate and lights?

I had a local sign shop do it custom.

Drained and refilled front and rear diff fluids as well as the transfer case fluid. My mileage was a tad over 15k, 1 year and 9 months, but was curious to see if there was any metal floating around. Prior to draining the fluids, I checked their levels to make sure they were properly filled from the factory. The front diff was a little low but not an issue. Saw very small metal flakes from the diffs which would indicate normal break in wear, no chunks or large shards. The front diff fluid wasn't darkened at all, but I did see some light white cloudiness which I was attributing to assembly lube. The rear diff fluid looked like dark honey with no cloudiness. I refilled both diffs with Valvoline 75w90 synthetic and the transfer case with Mopar ATF+4. I checked the transmission fluid level per the Mopar check procedure, full level. I really was wanting to refill with Royal Purple but didn't just in case there is a warranty issue the fluid won't come out purple giving the dealer an excuse to not honor my warranty. RP will go in the diffs and transfer case at 30K when I will be out warranty for time but not mileage.

Added the 1" coil spacers up front. AEV High Capacity coils. Much better stance, still has a stout, usable rake.

Trail damage assessment from this weekend's shenanigans at Windrock.
Steering wheel off-center, fixed by adjusting the drag link. Found a stripped bolt in the process.

Found some scrapes to my gas tank skid and transfer case skid, Thanks RockHard 4x4 for making a great skid that held up great. Also took a banger of a hit on the frame side rear lower control arm mount, should have spent the cash for a skid for it -

Then worst of all, I have a wet rear diff and a puddle starting underneath it.

Guess it's heading to the shop tomorrow.
