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

[Hootbro]

This is what I thought. Was wondering because of pic above, jeep being towed in reverse with front wheels on the ground.

The pic is just a snapshot in the moment. The rear wheels are not tie strapped down and the tow truck has the wheel dollies still in the bed ready to be used. Most tow drivers know what they are doing and do not take things for chance for liability reason. I would bet it got towed in proper configuration.

Installed the Terra Acoustic dash speakers.

I installed the Built Right Industries truck bed molle system. Took about 45 minutes for all 3 sides of the truck bed. Looks great and seems pretty solid.

a lot of good conversation from my post.
Nope, it got towed like it was in the picture. They did strap it down.
The first truck was too small to get arms around tires, this is the 2nd truck that barely got it. Towed 3 miles to dealer.
I didn’t know about towing in reverse and assuming tow driver didn’t either. I flat towed this thing 15,000 miles with no issue, albeit going forward. Guess I’ll have to wait and see what the damage is if this thing ever rolls under its own power again. Not aux battery related that they could find so far.

So much for having faithing in people doing their job right. Dude should called for a flatbed tow then. Hopefully that was not enough to mess it up.

That was my driver front. I found two more on passenger front ?

The all outside lugs on all 4 of the tires on my JT look like that.

I knew the rocks looked sharp but damn I wasn’t expecting that much damage. It looks like a hot knife went through butter. It’s part of the adventure but is still a bummer.

Where I live in SW Pa. We have what is called slate dumps. It rock that gets mined along with the coal. It's red in color, we call it Red Dog. The shit is like razer blades. It will slice knobs right off of a tire. When I was riding dirt bikes. I could go through a new knobby rear tire in one weekend. It will slice the knobs off a MT tire in the same amount of time on a 4x4.

Installed the Terra Acoustic dash speakers.

How do they sound? Do you have the base sound system, or the premium alpine?

I can tell an improvement over the base stock, louder and the tweeters help quite a bit. No alpine for mine.

Installed Overland Pro's Wraptor 4K Awning

For anyone with an iKamper...
I flipped the awning brackets down and moved the iKamper over about 1 inch. It clears the bracket by about 1/2 inch. My OCD cringes with the offset RTT, but the awning kinda balances it out.

I installed a set of Oracle Occulus bi-led Switchbacks today. Very nice headlights. I'll findbout tonight for sure.

Installed a pair of Redline Tuning gas hood struts. Took about 7 minutes. Initially, and it’s hot today, they are pretty powerful and raise the hood at a controlled rate, not too quick, not too slow. The real test will be how they perform in cold temperatures and how long they continue to work. I was delighted that they play nicely with the ARB compressor chuck and filters on one side and with the ducting for the snorkel on the other side. No interference at all. I am very impressed on day 1.

Been debating on these.



I changed the oil and the oil in the vortech v3

I installed the Quadretec Stubby Carnivore Front Bumper with some powder coated orange tow hooks to keep the Mojave color scheme intact.

I also installed the ARB Twin using the Grimm Offroad mounting bracket. Altogether, about 6 hours of work.

Much less exciting than the last few posts, but it’s Badge Day! Added engineer and holy cross. Holy cross was really earned in my opinion. My damaged driveshaft agreed at the time.
