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

[Hootbro]

You just keep dashing the image I had of you............. stop!

I am a nuts and bolts and wiring guy. Fabrication is not my forte.

True, but i want it to look somewhat professionally made and not look like a inner city kindergartener arts and crafts ashtray they made for a dad they never knew. That is my level of metal working skills.

Wait just a minute here , I was an inner city kindergartener and I made an ashtray for my Dad !!


Okay I'm joking , get ypur point but if I made one it would be smooth edged painted drilled with a smiley face on it .

Here's the Quadratec skid plates and the underside frame mounting points of the White Knuckle Sliders.

Little tip on the WK sliders. Spray the under side of them with rattle can undercoating. Rocks from the front tires will chip the powder coat.

I’m on it! Thanks! I have several cans of undercoating.

I had mine LineXed. First time off road, I peeled some of the LineX off. So I used rattle can bed liner spray for touch up.

The bedliner in a gallon can (Napa) or Summit is good stuff

Yeah it is. I herculined both the floors in my YJ and TJ.

My entire undercarriage was LineX sprayed immediately after purchase. The undercoating still looks like showroom. I will definitely coat the underside of the sliders.

Just completed my Oracle Lighting flush mount tinted tail lights (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...tics-no-gun-talk.23705/page-2243#post-1492097) and bumper reverse lights (https://www.oraclelights.com/products/rear-bumper-led-reverse-lights-for-jeep-gladiator-jt). I had an issue with the reverse lights acting strange, blinking and sometimes not illuminating. I talked with Oracle and between them and my troubleshooting he figured out that the system needed a second wiring harness adapter on the right side light pod. That fixed the issue and now I have daylight in total darkness when I backup on the trail. The tacked in oracle lights look badass combined with the bumper mounted reverse lights. A super easy installation too. Here's a pic after dark. These things are brighter than my high beams.

wow i like those

installed terraflex 2 spacers up front with lower control arms and track bar, bump stops and swaybar links

At the time I took this picture my wife came home... looked, shook her head, and said "Oh we are already at this point, well I know where this is headed "

On top of That I swaped out the sport S max tow front springs for JL rubi springs . Here is side by side pic of front rubi springs and sport springs:

and a pic before I did the rear 1 inch spacer:

Now it sits nice and level. I will post more pics after I finish adjusting the front trac bar ( front is off center 1 inchto the left) and torquing it all down!
I Know it looks like the JT skipped leg day! Monday I'm having 35x11.5r17's mounted on the factory rims (will be good for winter wheels)

The eventual plan is 37's and wider wheels but have not decided on what rims or back spacing / offset. and I will want gears

I removed my Mojave steering wheel and put on a base wheel. I was told the Mojave wheel was ' too aggressive for street/offroad use' as determined by Jeep engineering.


jk.... but I did read that here on this forum. Jeep owners COPE hard man.

Too aggressive does not compute.
