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

[ShadowsPapa]

I’ve been strongly considering this specific setup. Portable 4 post that is short enough to move around in my 9’ 11” garage.

I have the ceiling space - 15' - but floor space is at a premium until I get rid of some stuff - time to get rid of some engines I have sitting around andis I hope the guy is interested in my boring bar and rod hone - that would clear up a lot of floor space.

So cool that you can bore your own blocks.

I could to a complete rebuild....... but I don't do enough of that stuff these days to hang on to all of it. Drawers full of hones, sunnen rigid hone set, cam bearing install tools (for older V8s, etc.) Will keep the valve and seat equipment and certain other things. We'll see - the boring bar would actually work on my antiques, so who knows.

One of these days I may invest in a foam cannon. I've never used one before and not real sure of the benefits. However it does look fun to use.

The hubs has a BMW (M4), so he’s big into keeping it spotless. Last summer, he built this whole car washing setup including spotless rinse. The whole car washing ‘thing’ is a hobby in itself. The JT gets spoiled……

Solid.

My plan is to unpack it. It’s still full of crap from last weekend’s Moab trip.

I'm gonna try to go get my first BOH from Hidden Falls Adventure Park in middle hell, Texas next month.

You, or rather the dealer at your behest - did fine.
They have a process they must follow to warrant batteries. It includes checking the current voltage, charging the battery for a minimum of xx minutes prior to testing, then running a test using specific equipment that does load testing.
It may well have been the auxiliary battery - Jeep doesn't use the best, and if their equipment said it was bad, it was bad. Sounds like things went perfectly.

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping. Guess time will tell.

Installed the American Adventure Labs modular front bumper. Rain moved in so I didn't have time to reinstall the lights so that's a project for another weekend.

Here's the before.

I haven’t been there yet. Let us know how it is. @Mightytalldude is in Texas and might want to hit that up.

That’s sharp as hell.

Thanks! I'm super stoked about how it turned out.

It's a ways away. It's a thought.

If they had wings that made it a modular, with removable wings for wheeling, I’d be all over that thing.

I'm in far west Houston so it's about a 2.5 hr drive. Maybe 3. I've been there before in the wife's JL but that was before I had my JT fixed up and we didn't know about the BOH stuff. It's a really cool place and the closest thing I have to actual rocky shit offroading..

The end caps will be a pain to take on and off. I bought it hoping they'd continue making things for it, but I'm worried they've gotten distracted by their shiny new Ranger Raptor.
