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

[DanJT]

Installed a K&N drop in filter. Tested my 6000 pound single post lift. It held really well, but I will definitely place the two under body stands under the far side when I do any wrenching on it.

Jealous much?.... seriously, nice.

Intriguing for sure, as I’ve yet to choose my lift, but mine weighs over 6k. Do they make an 8k?

Thanks. When we moved here 8 years ago and I saw that the garage had 14' ceilings, I knew I had to get a lift. The hardest part was converting my garage door to a high lift. I did it all myself, but if I had it to do over, I would have paid a door company.

awesome day to be outside so I did a little work on the Gladdy.
First, I finally applied the hood decal my son got me for Christmas.
And second, I installed some battery terminal extensions.

and the hood decal

I don't think so. Honestly, with a Gladiator, you'd be better off going with a 2-post or 4-post. I have always had BMWs and Mustangs. The Gladiator is pushing the limit of a single post. This thing is stout though. It weighs over a ton itself. It just requires at least one under-hoist stand on the side opposite the post. The only reason I went this way is space limitations and my wife did not want to have the permanent lift in the garage.

One last shot of the Gladiator on the lift.

I would have told her. "Happy husband, happy life", to get the twin post. When not in use. She could hang clothes off of it.

I know if I would tell my wifey that. I would get a frying pan upside the head.

Happily married for 34 years. I know how to pick my battles!

I removed the Gladiator sticker from the side (long overdue) and Yes, I should have done it before the rocker armor but it was still pretty simple to get to come off.

So after I de-badged it, I re-badged it and added half a dozen more trail badges from the last year. Next set of badges should be Moab in July, followed by Colorado if I get to make that leg of the trip.

I've been waiting for my Snake and Cougar Crossing badge for 6 months now, glad to see you have yours.

Wow, I really like that lift. Does it feel secure with your truck up there? Do they make one higher than 6,000 lb capacity. My JL 392 weighs 6,550 lbs on the local Cat scale. It has grown a bit since it was new and has 40s, a lot of steel skid plates, bumpers, step sliders. Have you weighed your JT?

I removed the gladiator sticker a while back as well. I agree. It wasn’t necessary and made more badge room. Nice collection!

Started adding some new lighting.

My Snake badge was my first and oldest badge, I got it 3 years ago, which may explain why I got it. I'm still waiting on my Cougar Crossing since last October, when I got the other SMORR badges.

Well and in my case, it looked kind of silly with the rocker armor covering half the sticker.
Thanks on the collection, looking forward to filling the other side and trying to catch up to your total, what was it like 35?
