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

[SnazzGlad]

I had the Bilstein version of that and it worked great BUT....it pulled to the right. Went back to stock and all is fine. Let us know how it drives down the highway. If it doesn't pull, I may snag one.

After I installed it I did 6 turns on the steering wheel as far as it would go alternating each side. I just put 1300 miles on it going down to the Jeep invasion in TN. No pulling to the right at all besides when I got closer to home on heavily crowned country roads. ( nothing new). I actually installed one on my cousins JT in the parking lot of the hotel in TN. He likes it too. His 2022 had to use the supplied bolt and nut because his had the long shaft square carriage bolt that wouldn’t work with the new damper.

- Installed Flowmaster Outlaw (No, it doesn't sound like one of those rinky-dink wonky ass rice burners, it has a decent aggressive growl like it has some huevos. Totally dig it)
- Will install the CAI (AFE Momentum GT 5) + AFE Throttle Spacer (both on sale for a limited time)
- Renewed my hunting permit on the whip.
- Took my son out for a ride.

Cheers.

Last week I installed a Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper and Tactik winch. Yesterday, I replaced the hook with a Harbor Freight Badlands shackle mount....Only $26 plus about 4 bucks for c-clip pliars. MUCH cheaper and better looking than the Factor 55 on my JL. Looks beefier, too.

Well, my timeline is a little off as I added center caps to the wheels 2 weekends ago .

Then yesterday I finally got my winch mounted and hooked up.

It was more of a job than I anticipated as the winch wire lead I did what @ShadowsPapa did and drilled a new hole out the side to keep it from rubbing the grill and then had to Re-drill the holes in the winch plate and then plate it because the motor was literally touching the grill . Could not plate the bumper out as the welded bolts are not long enough for a plate. Any way it finally got done.

This was all done over the last month;
1. Decked System
2. Tail Box-Reaper off road
3. hi lift jack mount
4. CO 2 bottle mounted
5. Roto-pax 3-gal mounted
6. Shovel mount
7. If you looked at the deck, lower right side(passenger) you see my ARB compressor

Hi Gary. I am wondering about the Reaper tail-box. Are you happy with it? Are you getting your money's worth out of it? It seems to be on sale:

but perhaps it is permenantly on sale?
Cheers, Jason

Yes, I’m very happy with it. I keep all my stuff to air up/down in it

Did test drives to make sure I didn't botch the psc install, all seems good so far.
Still need to adjust the tie rod and drag link a bit more, cut the dust shields, and adjust the tie rod clamp.

PSC steering feels crazy light compared to a steering stabilizer and so much more stable. There's no real return to center tho.

Installed the AFE GT Momentum 5 Pro cold air intake.

I need to learn how to do that properly.

Where’d you buy them? ebay?

Sorry for the slow reply. Got them from @AllMoparParts.com . Just reach out and they can give you a quote and maybe a forum perk.

I need to learn how to do that properly.

With paint so thin, it only has one side from Jeep, it’s pretty easy to scorch it with one of buffers/polisher on the market. Maybe the ceramic coating helps prevent that? Still a scary tool in the hands of the uneducated.

Added a Roof Space Roof Top tent to the Gladiator today.

The JT got a coat of wax today. Turtlewax Flexwax with Graphene....got a bottle on clearance for $5. Great stuff! I've used it before and thought it was good even for $25. Anyway, it looks great. Goes on easy and you can put it over stickers and plastic with no issues. It protects them, too.
