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

[WILDHOBO]

It’s a great system, a friend has several really small tanks, he’s into cart racing…new air lockers front and rear this summer for my jt, already have a manifold for that and it also runs air tools.

I love the speed for air ups. I’ve used it for die grinders, but just to prove that I could. I bring an 18v grinder with me. Air tools annoy me at this point. Battery has come so far, and I hate the hose. I bought a 50lb tank at home with a siphon tube so I can fill my own 10lb tank. I got fed up with the local 4x4 shop that used to do it. It’s costing way less, and the convenience is fantastic.

Came up with a way to mount a Scepter MFC fuel can holder to the Mopar Trail Rails. Details here

Modified some spare parts to replace my rear swaybar links. They were both shot from too many trail impacts, and I wanted to lengthen them a bit after installing longer shocks recently.

How’d you “fight” through this? I had same trouble

Use a 6 mil x 1.0 tap - that worked for me.

Installed the Meatalcloak sector shaft brace today. Hoping that will help mitigate some of the DW I get.

I did the same when I installed my Trail Rails last weekend.

How was the install? I received mine this past weekend and am planning on installing it this week. Did you have to disconnect anything to get it in?

Sector shaft braces are great for protecting your steering gearbox, but don’t do anything for death wobble.

Install was about an hour. If you have a diesel put the flange side in the bottom. Not sure why it matters. But it's in the directions. Their little tool that was sent with the kit for installing the rivnuts, doesn't work. At least I couldn't get it to. I was lucky enough to have the correct tool. Once they were locked in place I was able to torque them down all the way. Didn't have red loctite so I used 242 blue and paint marked it. Paint marked everything else as well. It's a pretty straight forward install. A small cordless drill worked for me. Along with Harbor freight drill bit kit. Had to cut the shank of the bit in half to make it work.
Disconnect the track bar. That was it

I put some Air Ride helper bags on back of my Mojave. Good for 1000lbs payload leveling. I max out payload pretty often [1100lbs on my Mojave] with my travel trailer an gear. As difference between Mojave an Max (relative to payload) Tow is only rear spring rate to get 1700lbs vs. 1100lbs I am way more confident at my 1100lb max now (as I have 1700lbs spring rate available now with up to 35 psi in bag option). $70 canadian was a no brainer for the entire kit. Install of bags in -10c tougher then internet said as bags were a bit stiff to try and slip into spring at that temp, my fault there. Plummed manual valve into gas door area (most in bumper, but in winter bumper is a snowball so i wanted a protected area, not in box, as it is full when i need at valve). Two bags are connected for now, if i find better to have them seperate i'll replumb. Finding 5psi minimum ads a little more spring rate then I was wanting unladen, but they are breaking in.
When trailer season returns will have to get some pics up. These are pre bag with a bit of squat trailered up...

Nice job!
You should have felt an immediate difference in it. I know I did.

Answering for mine, it wasn't too bad at all. You just want to take your time and get everything right. There's a horrific Youtube video where somebody wobbles out the holes to get things to line up, because he didn't get it right the first time. Don't be that guy.
