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

[Freems]

I thought about leaving the vented area in the bare aluminum, but after messing with the painters tape for 5 mins said screw it haha. I like the all black anyways. It has the look of stock, but you appreciate it the more you look at it and dissect the build.

Installed Rough Country Step/sliders

How are these for an actual step for dog? Durable too?

New kicks…

KMC carnage 17” in bronze with Hankook AT2 Dynapro 285/75r17.

anyone have recommended PSI for these? Max says 80.

That’s a 33 inch tire basically. Factory specs on the 33 would be around 37 psi. Put that in there and then go do a chalk test. Probably going to end up being lower.

Body graphics are not my cup of tea, BUT you nailed the color combo with yours!

Also, applies to several other applications I can think of at the moment. LOL

Not sure as far as a dog, my dog leaps into the seat from the ground. My 5 year old son uses them pretty good for a step. I have not leaned on them off road yet to know how durable they will be.

you're getting good advice. chalk test is probably the best but you can ballpark with a calculator.

Air is what supports the vehicle. changing the tire size doesn't mean you use the same pressure, that has to change to make up for the change in the amount of air. Most of these bigger tires are meant for much heavier trucks, so they can support more weight with more air (pressure) but at our weight you usually need much less pressure than they're rated for.

Sweet thanks. Calculator said to keep it at 38psi. Things came from tire rack pumped up to 75 psi.

Thanks… I like the retro vibe without it being too in your face.

That things telling me to run my tires at 25 psi. WTF did I do it wrong?

LT255 x 75 R17 Load C @ 37 psi > 37 x 12.50 R17 Load C

normal.

On my JKU, I ran 24-25 psi in back and 28 psi in front with 37X13.5/17’s on 9.5” bead locks after chalk tests. Treads ran nice and flat

Added a KC hilites rear chase bar which came in handy this weekend during our roadtrip w/heavy fog I put it to good use. .

 

[Shibbyjeep]

Installed my CMM mirror mounts so that when it's not 22 degrees I can take the doors off and see behind me.

Installed the fox TS steering dampener. Super easy install.
