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

@Metalcloak is the bomb

Except they missed a lot of money at Jeep Bash yesterday. I was ready to pick up the same control arms in person and one of my wrangler guys was dead set on an MC long arm kit but they never showed up. That was just two of us out of 450 Jeeps. Oh well, next time.

Installed new KC Titan 50" light bar and KC Titan ditch lights, finished installing the KC Flex Era 3
fog lights

Refreshed my KC flex era 4 lights. After more than 3 years, some cosmetic powder coating peeling on the lense frame, etc. was bugging me. I replaced the lenses, seal, black frame, and bolts. This time I went with amber lenses, instead of clear with amber covers. I like it. I prefer the amber anyway. The first two pictures are before pictures.

They look like brand new lights, well done sir.

Thanks. Now the bumper looks worse. I’m just not going to get to that project until winter it doesn’t look like.

Knock off snorkel. All seals are good except at the stock airbox. Stock airbox wasn't sealed tight and has drain holes, so I'm not too concerned with a few drops of water that would have gotten in anyway. Fit great from there up!

Got annoyed and needed a 30 minute break from work. My wiper fluid sensor has been acting up and telling me it’s low, when it’s not. The sensor appears to just use the fluid to close the circuit on the sensor. Two contacts just get submerged above a certain level, or are dry. The sensor just pulls out awkwardly with a trim tool. There’s a clear rubber seal that stays in the tank to be careful to not damage, as the replacement sensor doesn’t include one. Put a bucket underneath if your fluid is above the sensor. Mine was slightly. It’s about a 1” hole. Then just push the replacement back in, fill and check for leaks. It now agrees that there is fluid. Easy fix.

Out with the old, in with the new.
@Clayton Off Road Springs, trackbar, brake lines and Fox Shocks going on the rear.

If you haven’t already, don’t forget to extend your abs speed sensor cables to match the brake lines.

I noticed that, does someone make a kit? Or is it just a cut and splice in some wire?
I changed up the routing and whatnot near the frame and got an extra couple inches for the time being.

Teraflex makes an extension, but I didn’t like that it needs to remove the Christmas tree from the upper frame mount above. I did a manual splice and have had zero issues. I did a thread on it actually. I matched the brake lines length.

I used 18awg wire, cut and added wire between the retention brackets. I wanted to keep the wire management as is. That way if it gets damaged on a trail, I won’t damage the connection to the main harness on the top of the frame.
