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

[Gren71]

is yours a 2020?

Do the rears use the disc brakes for the e-brake or were there mini brake shoes that went into the hat of the rotor?

yes its a 2020 and the rears use pads inside the rear drums for the E brake.

Did some exhaust work today.

Bet that sounds great going down a washboard road! Good thing is, it's a relatively easy fix with a trip to a parts counter.

Yep not too worried, sad thing is I have full belly skids. Waiting for my rocksliders to show up lol. It happens when you roll around on big rocks. Oh an no sound from wash boards it's shoved tight to the frame and body

New drag link/ tire rod

Modified my bed slider yesterday. They did they’re job and saved the bed!

Looks like and good hit lol. I took a side impact yesterday have a good size dent in mine. They do a pretty good job for OEM

I thought about doing the same thing when installing my air - but opted to just not at the time. Now I think when things get switched up next spring I will go back to this idea. It's so much cleaner.

Tested it out yesterday. Filling 38s from 12psi to 30psi not one complaint. It is a great set up, Tank pressure never fell below 70psi compressor kept up no problem.

Wow. Did that bend up the bumper as well? What did you hit?

 

[WILDHOBO]

Went down a rock step that was bigger than anticipated. Folded the mud flap up and landed on the slider. Since the slider is bent up it’s probably twisting the bumper a little since they are attached together. No damage to the bed or bumper.

Been there, probably with you watching. glad it wasn’t worse. Sliders are my favorite mod.

I'm a day late but I had no cell service... Took it out and did Jeep things with it!

So you played in the mud ,while we played on the rocks.
Hope you had a good time.

These are RedRock sliders. OEM might be better

I think we spent most of our time playing around on the hill climbs over by the quarry. We went of the concrete poured section too which was a lot of fun.

We ended up playing around on a what I believe was the yellow trail, and other than my buddy getting hung up on a giant boulder we didn't have any issues.

I'm thinking we want to try Holly Oaks ORV park next, but we gotta find time with our family schedules to make it out

My Son and I modified my Fishbone JT bed rack to mount and still use the tonneau cover.

Not quite today, but over the last few days, built a rear seat delete storage platform (more details in my build thread):

 

[mumbo]

I 3d printed a little box for my console. It let's me put a lot more stuff in there. Space for flashlight in the back and pens in the from. I can post a link to the stl if you want to make one. Split in the middle because I have a small printer and I printed it in two parts.

Yeah, prior F/A-18 electrician. I know not to fizzuck with tolerances when it comes to electricity. I replaced like for like with a spare fuse.

My future plan is to wire a couple of charge only USB plugs to one of my aux buttons to split the load. I've seen too many pictures and heard too many horror stories to mess with wiring.

I fried the power port in my 05 Wrangler Unlimited by plugging in a small 12v fan to it. I had to replace the outlet with a new one. The fuse /wiring melted down (in the power port) instantly when I turned it on. Only rated for a cellphone, GPS or radar detector use. Definitely not even a cigar lighter. ? So I added a multiple outlet on passenger side at bottom of dash.
In JT I have added a second one on back of center console. Then 2 off house battery system in back seat area and bed. Not risking it.
