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

[SpeedNeed]

Soaked it.

Got caught naked and unprepared in a surprise rain storm. Frst time. It was parked., and a whole restaurant was watching me with amusement. I was too smug and trusting about my phone’s weather apps.

I need to set up those drain plugs and carry a couple of towels. And maybe buy a cab cover, the full cover is too big for permanent carry.

I’ll pull the mats and park it in the sun. Anything special I should do or worry about?


edit.. I don’t have a drenched storm photo so I’ll post this one from an hour earlier.

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

Sorry, it’s been quite rainy near me so I couldn’t get photos for a little!

Finally figured out where I wanted my flag mount

Getting stuff installed for a couple of trips. Installed 12v power to the rear a few weeks ago to charge an Ecoflow unit for the fridge too.

Battling some nerve issues in my hands. But powered through it and installed my front diff cover, with the rear on schedule end of this week.

More like “what did you do for the last 2 weeks to your Gladiator” but I got my Renogy-based house (dual) battery setup finished. Here’s the thread on it:

Fender chop definitely changed the look.

Love it! Really changes the look. Did you keep the stock fender liners? can you post a side shot please.

I'll get one when I get home. Yes I kept the plastic liner, I used a heat gun and added some screws to tuck it into place better. If you keep it you would have to do the same as you cut the liner.

Nice Job!

Thank you, I have some fox elite 2.5 with remote resivors going on this weekend. Should look better.

Yesterday, swapped the rebuilt rear driveshaft back in. They did a perfect job. Zero vibrations at 80mph. Bought a replacement front shaft as well, painted it with chassis paint, but didn’t feel like installing it yesterday. For all the Colorado folks, Rocky Mountain Driveline does top notch work, and at a fraction of the cost to buy from online vendors.

Today, threw on a mopar bug shield to hide a tiny hood dent from a deer strike. I still might get insurance to replace the hood, but it was annoying me, and it’s a hassle I don’t want in the summer. I typically don’t like bug deflectors, but it’s not bad.
