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

[BlueScapegoat]

Bought six Moab style JK wheels off a guy for $70. Steal. I was just looking for steelies so I could actually roll the Jeep in and out of the garage. I don't know anything about the JK generation Moab wheels but I know the TJ ones are forged and sought after. These might be aftermarket too, I don't know. He said they were OEM but maybe I'll check the stamping some time. They do what I need them to do for cheap.

Have some work to do tomorrow, so took it for a wash. Those 3° washes in Minnesota are a vibe, as the younger folks say.

Those are 32s. What a stance.

Barely fits in the garage, though. Previously I had to take the 37s down to 6psi to fit. Figured with the 40s it'd never fit.

CavFab steering. I wasn't sure because I hadn't actually seen any photos of it, but it is indeed drilled to fit the factory steering stabilizer. That's good, because I'd prefer to just keep it where it is until I go to hydro assist.

Also got my Dynatrac ball joints in. Can't believe how little these things are.

So now the Jeep is in the garage and I'm heating everything up, the plan tomorrow is CavFab steering, SteerSmarts track bar brace, Dynatrack ball joints, Bora 1.5" wheel spacers, XL RokBlokz, and a Wolfbox rear view mirror cam setup.

Got help from a friend to install the Bartac seat covers today. They take some time to stretch out and the directions leave a little to be desired! I ordered them on Oct 15th and they showed up Jan 21 so it was a long wait! But they look pretty good and the quality is outstanding!

No longer looks like it skipped leg day!

Is that the 1/10 scale Axial?

They have the JT version on sale right now......really tempting. The I'd have to buy another body so I can color match it to my JTM

I ordered a spare from another seller. It got here today. The 4th tire that was shorted will be here tomorrow.

1/6 SCX6. Big fella, thing will drive right up my stairs. Bought it and painted to the best match to Gobi I could find before my JT got delivered. Turned out pretty close

DAAAANNG!

Finally scored an OEM steel bumper on FB. 750 for all. Bumper, closeout panel, and skid. Couple scratches but worth the savings.

Will be adding Mojave X springs as I now have steel bumpers front and rear.

Looks like your front tires are cupping like a mofo.

They're at like 37 psi, probably my problem. Pic is kind of distorted. Are you referring to the high center of tire versus edges? The tread is all even when measuring....

Changed from the American Racing Outlaw to Raceline Boost wheels. Went from 0 offset to +35 to bring the 35x12.50’s back under the fender. I like a little poke but the 0 offset had the tires about 3” outside the rear fender and they were too far out for my liking.

I like the new wheels....a lot! Looks great.

I just order this kit from EZ4x4. Sticks to the hardtop and you can flip the panels back and then have the quietness of the hardtop all the time.

Are you going to drill the holes for the supplemental bolts or just rely on the tape?

Looks like every other lug is worn differently based on the light vs dark spots.
