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

[MSFTMatt]

More progress on lift install. Just have the sway bar end links to install and the rear will be done. Installed the Metalcloak upper sumo type springs bump stops and adjustable lower bump stops. Apparently you have to drill your own holes in the landing pad, thankfully I just bought some new bits. Used the scissor Jack to push the uppers into place.

Extended my rear ABS sensor wires to match the length of my extended brake lines. I detailed the process in a thread about this.

Do you have a link for that thread handy? Going to have to do this as well.

Yesterday i installed my hood blackout decal finally had great weather and the pollen stopped falling in my yard, Pixeldecals topographical with Rubicon red outline. Also removed Rubicon hood vents and made them real vents

Alright. Where did you get that spiffy decal?

I’ve only ever seen this size for Rubicon’s but you could have one made

Yowza pinion angle at full droop. If rock crawling that’s why people get RockJock/teraflex upper CA brackets or 4 link kit (Rusty’s, RK)

I would imagine it is due to the Rubicon hood bulge profile. Start getting into needing a wrap vs. a decal.

Apparently I “broke” it? Not really. I ended up being added to the rear locker position sensor failure vip club. I had so much time in the car that I made some calls. It sounds like the plan will be to change fluid and clean diffs after mud holes at Windrock, then the z automotive fix instead of the traditional fix that requires breaking down the whole rear end.

Yeah that’s not going to be the resting angle. If got it fully dropped in order to of gotten the springs in. I added the RockJock carrier spacer while I was under there as well.

I did the same about 5,000 miles ago no more issues.
