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

[Dp7]

Installed a retractable tonneau with t-slots... getting ready for some crossbars and a RTT.

Finally got my driveshafts installed

Replaced my steering stabilizer with a Falcon Nexus because the stock one has been damaged beyond function for the last 18 months. Zero death wobble to report in that time as well which lends credibility that the stabilizer is a bandaid if you're replacing it to get rid of death wobble.

Met some family for dinner tonight and noticed that someone tore half my driver side rear fender flare off while we were eating. Thankfully it appears that the only damage is to the fender flare and liner, so I guess I’m doing that install sooner than planned. I’m not sure how they managed to take out the fender flare without scratching the paint or damaging anything else, but I’ll settle for doing something I’d been planning a little sooner than I really wanted.

Hooke Road flat fender flares and Spartan liners have been ordered. Unfortunately, the front will have to wait until they’re damaged or I can set some money aside. Will update after they arrive and are installed.

Which two piece is that?

Got my fauxpar bumper installed. $275 on Amazon. It came kind of beat up (wasn't packaged well), so I ended up painting the hoop with a can of rustoleum tractor paint in gloss black for a bit of a nod to the gloss black accents that were on the plastic bumper I took off. I kept the stock tow hooks and swapped the halogen fogs to LED while I had it all apart. Four of the sensor holes covered up very nicely with some cheap hole plugs (also Amazon), but the holes on the lower wings aren't flat, so.. that was a lost cause; just left 'em open. I've put on two plate steel bumpers on my JLs prior to this one, and this was, by far, this biggest pain in the ass. So. Many. Parts/Bolts. What a hassle!

It looks perfect! With perfection comes the curse of the pedantic.

Does it count if my funny license plates finally came in?

Thank you for your service. Your sacrifice put us all in a safer place.

Installed Fab Fours front bumper and some cube lights.

I liked the Harbor Freight road shock edge 6 led lights so much decided to add their 4 led lights . Special thanks to @WILDHOBO for giving me the knowledge of how to make my own wiring harnesses.

That looks fantastic. Very well done. I really like the amber markers. Having them also on the cowl lights looks awesome.
