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

[ShadowsPapa]

Would you like a free Dewalt site radio?

Not unless it's satellite and BT capable. Oh, wait - I can do that with the Mojave speaker and my phone paired to it.

Exactly. I think I bought it in 2002. Back then I just used an 1/8” aux cable. Now it sits and does nothing. It’d really be for someone who collects dewalt stuff and wants it for that reason. Works fine and includes a battery.

Bill, the Mojave get a long club had a meeting and you are welcome on the Mojave thread my friend!
I did stop by my dealer checking for Mojaves to see if any had select transfer case ,nope, they had seven Gladiators all Nighthawk editions all priced the same all $43,900 list price, but they did have a mojito Wrangler there that looked great , excellent color would have been my choice in 2021 if avalible.
Bill before you start adding all the stuff on the Mojave , go take a ride and jump shit, railroad tracks, speed bumps, pedestrians, whatever , faster ya go the less you feel it’s a hoot!……..Jack

Painted and installed the inserts for my inner fender liners I think I'll be installing this weekend.

Looks great. I bought some amazon inner liners that light up! I mean I have them wired. and they work' but I never turn them on...

Finished the wiring cleanup. Ran into a super weird issue. I had the Voswitch tapped on F52 and my @WOLFBOX mirror power on F102. Every once in a while, my mirror would stay on after I turned the car off and I'd have to turn it on and back off again. I swapped the Voswitch to F102 and it won't shut off when the truck shuts off. I had the Jeep battery disconnected for about 48 hours and I know when you first power them up after a long time without power, weird stuff happens until it fully restores. I'm hoping this is that, but I just disconnected the battery for the evening since it's so late and will reconnect it in the morning when I can check on it periodically. Just glad to have the bird nest of wires all cleaned up. Sadly, she's getting dropped off at the dealer Friday for the good old Gladiator paint issues and to have the front axle vent replaced. They claim it will be done in a "couple days" cause they aren't busy right now.

Leaning towards a 4 post short 8k portable. I’ve found them including two trolley jacks in the 5-6k range. It’ll be a while though as I need to organize the garage first.

My shop floor is 6 inches thick to allow for a 2 post lift. However, two artificial knees and artificial hip (off road motorcycle racing for decades, but would not trade those memories for the original equipment joints) steered me towards a 4 post lift, as getting on the ground is difficult with artificial joints.

I also added two air/hydraulic jacks that slide along the inside rails of the lift. These jacks are a must to make the lift as usable as possible.

I have not found anything I could not accomplish with the 4 post, including pulling a body off the frame. The benefits of putting the corvette in the lift and parking a jeep underneath is a plus…

They turned out great! Love that combo.

I'm 5 weeks waiting on my last order from AAL and 0 for 2 on getting orders with all the parts and both orders had fitment issues. On my bumper fitment issue, they replied "It works in CAD". Be nice if it worked in real life on my Jeep. They have such cool stuff, but I'm a little over them right now.

unfortunately I started hearing these stories after I placed my order. To my surprise they actually responded to my ticket within a day. They are in powder coating right now so hoping they come through soon!

it’s not a huge deal though, I just have the disconnect zip tied for now

I’ve had aftermarket inner fenders and if I did this again, they would need to be aluminum, as the steel units I had on the JK rusted, so required painting every 2 years…what a pain.

I've had that cutoff switch mount in my cart like 100 times. I know I need it, I just never actually pull the trigger on it.

Thanks for the review. Much appreciated. I’m really glad to hear you can get the body off. I don’t know when (yet) I’d need to, but would be mad if I couldn’t. What lift did you choose?
