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

[WILDHOBO]

I’ve removed my key from the fob to get to minimum bulk and will grind a rounded area for the key rotation. Hopefully I don’t F it up.

SMRT smart.

Took the tri-fold hard tonneau off for the first time since I bought the truck... Prepping for the bed coming off next month, lots of bed related goods will be for sale soon.

Installed the new Mopar lift with the Bilstein reservoir shocks!

Initial impressions, holy shit this rides immensely better than the stock Rubi with 37s....Fox shocks are terrible

You buy from the dealer or somewhere else? ?

From All Mopar Parts, one of the sponsors of this site. Way cheaper than the dealer!!

I installed my new smart-cap EVOa adventure camper shell. Very pleased with packaging and boxes labeled fit and finish. Perfect.

Did an oil change. Sending a sample to Blackstone Labs. Want to see how Mobile 1 5w40 diesel truck oil does. This is my second oil change with it.

Really interested in running this. I use them for the 5w-20HM in my hemi and I'm at 172k with no issues.

Bug deflector?

Hood latch locks

We have a winner.

We've been talking about a long drive this fall - to swamp country.......... likely will take the JT as she hates putting miles on her JLU and prefers more distance between gas stops.
I figured the risks are increasing for battery thefts and just plain messing around with stuff, especially when away from our home area. They won't stop anyone serious, but you can't just flip a couple of latches any more and get full access.
Cheap 10 minute install - if even 10 minutes. 10mm socket, 13mm wrench, done.
Are there better? Most likely - but it's a matter of who I'm trying to keep out.

Bug deflector?

Good guess since it's in both pics, but it's been on this truck almost since I got it (moved it from my 2020 to this 2022)

I look at the hood latches like I look at leaving the porch light on… hopefully enough of an additional risk where they’ll just move on.

Today I left the Mojave in the garage while the BEAST did the heavy lifting getting this load of firewood up the hill from the pond.
2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI.

This load is probably around 3x its own weight.
One more tree to cut tomorrow in the view improvement project.
