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

[WILDHOBO]

I tried! There was a car parked there when I pulled in lol. Next time

Just yanking your chain. It was close. But work on the lighting. Jeez. Btw. I’ve really liked your build from the beginning. Great attention to detail.

One was at 9:30 (they make awesome breakfast burritos) and the other was at 2:30pm, hence the lighting difference. Also, I think I washed my truck in the last 2-3 months so it’s a bit cleaner in the after picture

I appreciate the good words! Next up is extended brake lines and probably a carrier bearing spacer. I can see how the extra lift is going to stretch a few things out so they’re on the Christmas list

Does anyone know how long it typically takes @JeepCares to care and reply? I DM'd them on X Monday morning then sent them a PM here mon afternoon. Saw they were active on here last yesterday at 5pm but no reply in either place...

Pretty much. You need to tag them enough times to guilt them into responding.

Finally had a free minute so installed the Banks Peddle Monster and iDash.

Swapped out the M14x1.5x21mm lug nuts for M14x1.5x19mm lug nuts.

Running aftermarket wheels that came with 21mm hex lugs. The thinnest deep socket I could find barely fit through the lug holes on my wheels. 19mm allowed for more room, lugs nuts spin on and off no problem now.

Replaced my stock rear springs with 3” spacers for some Fundamental Motorsport springs. Previous to this I was dead level at 4.5” front and 3” rear, but as I add more weight I’m starting to see a sag. The new springs got me to about 4 1/4” rear, should settle some. I still have a Westin steel bumper to install and that will bring it down a tad more.

You got so much lift Fat Albert could crawl under there.

Definitely shouldn’t be getting caught on any hidden obstacles now…but you know I’ll still find a way

The taller the lift, the bigger the obstacles.
It’s a never ending cycle.

What are the holes in the bumper for?

What are the holes in the bumper for?

Speed holes.....jk.....they are for the parking sensors that it doesn't have. I still have to track down some plugs to fill in those holes so I'll get to it eventually.

These worked out quite well for me.
