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

[WILDHOBO]

I need to do this.... Sometimes my Jeep sits for several days out of the week. On my 3rd set of Mopar batteries in less than 3 years.

I’m only on my second set of batteries. July of 2021 and 73k miles until now. I’m a firm believer in maintainers.

One piece of advice I got was to use all the same brand/line of products.
I painted my inner fenders both front and rear with Rustoleum products and it's held up well.
Self Etching Primer because the inners were aluminum, light sand with a fine grit sand paper, then top coat, no clear. I think I did 3 coats each of primer and top coat.

Recently, it was dirty at the time and sans fenders and bumper but you can see the inner well, the one big scuff to the right of the shock is from my sway bar hitting it, otherwise it has held up exceptionally.

Thanks very much. So much great info on this forum.

Looks like they’ll work well. Do they come off easily?

This is great advice for the casual painter. Most brands sell products that are designed to work together. It makes it easier for the less experienced, and most importantly, it works.

It most definitely is something like that. I doubt "Mopar" has anything to do with the paint they use.

You’re likely right. Or old school krylon.

Ball joints. What a pain when you buy a BJ Press from Amazon. Take my advice and buy a good one. 5 hours of my life I’ll never get back
