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

[Hootbro]

Or…Mopar.

Maybe, I just know the markings were not on the JK's as they were 3/4 inch sizing on the hex going on a 1/2" stud.

It’ll have to wait a while. After buying a steering stabilizer, trans pan, gasket, and fluid, I’ve spent enough this week. Plus I have axle CV rebuilds to do, and a partially broken gas tank skid that needs reinforcement.

Sometimes you just have to stop the bleeding.

Good point.

I’ll try.

I installed tie down brackets in the upper bed area. Just bought some from tractor supply and undercoated them and used y pre drilled holes.

Installed my ICECO 75L dual fridge/freezer slider in the bed. Used a Astro ADN38 XL Rivet Nut Drill Adapter Kit that made installing rivet nuts the easiest job ever! Now I'm looking for more ways to use this thing. I then drilled holes through my rubber bed liner and mounted the slider over the liner. Now I can easily remove the slider when not needed for camping trips. My wife has said to leave it in so I can use it to hold up the plants she will be buying. Wifey approved mod.

I'd have to double check, but I believe there is an "M" on the ones on my Rubicon.
I just figured it was for metric.

Yeah, I was being a bit sarcastic after the Mojave superiority complex a person or two exhibit. (ok, more than a bit.........)

It's metric - but my other two did not have such marks.
They probably figure people will try a 7/8" lug wrench on it and scratch their head as most were 3/4" (cars/small cars) or 7/8" years ago.

What gears you running?

My crazy a** still hasn't regeared. I don't want to waste any money on them and put it towards tons instead. So yeah, 8th isn't of much use at the moment. Still getting 21 average mpg still surprisingly...

I took a closer look at the oem lugnuts that I replaced on my 2024 Rubi-X, and the M is there.

Added a 3d printed ASA spacer to the bed outlet to facilitate running 6AWG wires from inside the bed to an Anderson port underneath the bumper for my camper without cutting new holes in the bed. I’m charging my camper’s LiFePo bank off the same DCC50S that charges the Jeep’s house battery making one big bank. It works like a charm. I’ll post a link to my stl on the 3d printing thread.

Genius. I didn’t even know there was a 3d printing thread.

I post various Jeep and/or overlanding parts that I make.

How much higher does the hood struts lift the hood? My only concern would be the hood hitting my ditch lights.

 

[Jaxmax]

Getting ready to put on Next Venture belly skid that is coming in a little while , upgraded my older version of 1/4” aluminum with their HD Mod kit putting a 3/16” steel skeleton above the aluminum and putting a 3/8” UHMW board under , the oil pan trans skid is rock solid. Also got the HD crossmember as that is what everything rides on, ordered it galvanized, but everything in my Jeep is concealed or painted black so some sanding and wiping down, and went to paint shop which looks a lot like the woodworking shop. Crossmember is 1/4” and 3/16” steel really stout, plus I get to subtract the existing one. Going to track weights and also if there is increased ground clearance and maybe make a separate thread but so far :
Engine oil pan / trans skid 27 lbs.
HD crossmember 24 lbs.

Thanks very much. I made some washers at one point to protect the roll bar from bolts for handles. And a mount for my winch controller for ram mounts. But both were sophomoric at best.
