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

[JCappy]

I got spring fever today, and I had to do something for it. I reinstalled my Sunrider and then I took a drive with it open to enjoy the sunny, 72 degrees day.

Funny as I "thought" about putting my new Sunrider on that's been sitting in the basement for months. I've attached the rails and cable. Just need to put it on. Now you made me feel bad that I was too lazy to do it. I did manage to get out for a short Harley ride since it was nice out. Does that count?

Today, my name is McCracken, Phil McCracken …

I saw what you did there.

Received and installed a set of TruShield floor mats ordered through Extreme Terrain. Vehicle came with the MOPAR Slush Mats but I wanted something that went up the transmission tunnel side and under the pedals a bit further. These fit the bill and seem well made.

This look great, only thing you might be missing out on is the drain plug. I've got the Mopar slush mats, had to pull them up and cut the little sides on the carpet, but now I've got ~2" of floor board mess containment, and a direct drain plug to the ground in each of the floorboards

Shouldn't you be using this tape measure?

I'm not sure what scale that tape was based on, a whisker or by skin of your teeth is common measure in my neck of the woods, but that tape looks like 'said hair width' is at least 1/8th inch, maybe skip the razor and invest in a brush hog if that's the scale.

Well , I cleaned mud out of the floorboards and scrubbed the carpet . Then I replaced the MAP sensor which literally took 5 min. Finally got the new oxygen sensor upstream bank 1 . It was freezing cold here wind has been in excess of 20mph and frigid so the oxygen sensor wasn't happening today. Ordered some amsoil will change oil when it comes in expected Wednesday. Cheers

Now you have to figure out if it's blonde, red, black (3 kinds of black), or auburn. Each one is a different thickness.

Nah, not missing out on the drain plug thing. 4th Gladiator and third one that came with the factory slush mats and in all cases, eventually chucked them for ones without the drain hole. Personal preference, never found value in the drain feature.

When you were scrubbing the carpets you should have come across an oval carpet cut, about 1" wide and 2" long, I got the factory mats and had to pull then out and cut the carpet. The factory has the drain holes and plugs, they actual go through the carpet and floor pan, straight to the outside, you just have to pull the plug in the given floorboard to drain it under the truck

Armorlite is still the best mod and worth every penny.

Yesterday I installed the Datin Fabricators rack……and the paddle board. And the Darche 270° batwing awning, LED lights are almost done, I needed to finish the rack first. Today is either finish the lights, or go paddling in Tarpon Springs

I guess that’s a no-brainer

No brainer is right. Paddleboard for sure lol. Tarpon springs is beautiful. Wife was in Palm Harbor before we got married and I spent a lot of time all around that area for a few years.

Love the causeway at Fred Howard park. $5 for the day, and I can park 10’ from the water all day. We usually see dolphins, turtles, rays, and the occasional shark. It’s not Moab, but it sure is a relaxing way to spend the day

I believe the International Standard is RED. It is the finest known to man.

Yea we've been there as well. Very laid back and great place to spend the day. Also enjoyed the sponge docks, Greek food, shopping, etc.... Also spent a good bit of time on Honeymoon Island. Used to kayak off the causeway there. Would paddle to Honeymoon and Caladesi Island. Went back a couple of years ago when I took the wife as a surprise trip for her birthday. Great memories.

Well fuck me......I'm going to have to pull my winch to get these grills swapped

Yep, that’s always a good time.
