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

[RufusMalloy]

Picked up a used soft top locally for 20% of a new one. I then had to make a lift for the hard top.

Got some new rock sliders with a rail to step up on for the wifey.

From the previous post, here is the video of the event. I’ve labeled this “oops”. But it should be called, “my fault, should have turned around”.

I don't know, I probably wouldn't have turned around either ?
Feels more like a $#!t happens moment, then driver error.

I knew the line, and really wanted to show @Mightytalldude the rest of the trail. It was just the wrong day. I used the winch point as a safety chain, just in case it slipped. If I hadn’t, I’d have likely been starting a thread letting everyone know I’d rolled it. I like having safety chains. I don’t like needing or using them.

I watched the clip and it looked like you were smiling ear to ear after it happened.
No Blood No Foul!. Hindsight is 20/20.

I just love this stuff. I probably was. But I’m nuts.

You're not wrong lol ?

I walked away from the weekend with an intact jeep. It needs the usual adjustments and fiddling after hard wheeling, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I'm just casually munching on a sandwich. That's really nuts.

Nah. You’ve met me. just look at my choices on Sunday. And I loved every second of that. That obstacle beat me two years ago. Now it’s behind me.

I'm just jealous that I don't have lockers, or that extra ambition to be at 38°+ up/down pitch angle. Also that 60 second 4-tire inflation, just puts us all to shame. I'm stepping up my inflation game in the coming weeks.

You drove better than most of us without lockers. I got to 45 degrees this trip. New record for me. I highly recommend the Speedflate hose setup. I couldn’t be happier with it. The speedy air up is just a convenience, but I loved that we could reseat a tire relatively easily with all that pressure. That for me makes it a good tool to have.

installed a trail rail system Saturday. For a $180 Chinese setup, it was actually spot on for all the mounting holes. Came with 6 rail tie downs. The hard part was finding the clamps that came with the tonneau cover for the trail rails and cleaning out the factory holes from the bed liner application. The brackets were in the garage someplace and I found all of it except 2 L brackets. Those missing ones I had to fab up out of some 1/8" bar stock.

I have 35x12.5 RG’s. Not sure of the exact offset of my Fuel wheels. It was a setup the dealer already had done and I loved the stance.
The RB XL width with original length covers pretty well. I can already tell a reduction in how much road grit is on the sides and door handles.

Thanks - I will have to order the XL Original.
