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

[Rusty PW]

Bought a brake fluid tester. It's nice tester. I tested all of my vehicles. Let's just say i have work to do. Have a half bottle of brake fluid sitting on the self. About 6 months old. Well...it's in the garbage can.

Needed some storage in the Gladiator so I decided to get a seatback organizer. So I saw these ONWRD Supply organizers. The orange accents were probably what sold me, but I liked how it came with two integrated bags that sat down low. The bag on the left is just an open bag with a velcro flip top so I have my dogs retractable leash and harness. The other bags has two zippered pockets which now hold his brush and dog bowls. I like the ease of attaching their other bags if/when I get them. Using velcro instead of the typical molle webbing is what I like the most. Not a huge fan of how this fits mainly because of the shape of the Jeep seat, but I still have access to the net pocket which if it fit tighter I wouldn't. There is a huge side pocket big enough for a large laptop, maps or trail guides so I doubt making it fit tight to the seat would work. So for now the two bags just keep all of my dogs leashes and bowls off the floor. One of the biggest reasons for getting it was the material is waterproof and won't make any swooshing noises like I would got with the bags on my Bartact seat covers. If you have passengers bigger than toddlers it will take up leg room, but all I have is my dog back there. Overall I'm happy with the product.

That is very impressive that your were able to teach your dog to do the Jeep wave, I like the organizers too.

Nowadays he might be the only one doing the Jeep wave.

Come to Jeep Beach 25 in Daytona. Your wrist will suffer!! I am inventing a prosthetic wave device.

Swapped out the 22x12 Fuel Blitz / 38x13.5 Trail Grapplers for 17x9 Reika wheels and 38x13.5 Patagonia MT02’s. Mounted Extrusion Overland bars and got the spare up off the bed.

Installed the Mopar 2” lift over two days in my driveway. I went with the diesel version for the heavier spring rate since I’ll be loaded down more times than not.

Everything went smooth until the rear. When pushing the spring up onto the perch, my finger somehow got pinched between the spring and the perch. I could not get it out and the pain was excruciating. After releasing there was no one to help me I took what strength I had left and pushed the spring up as hard as I could to get my finger out. Even if I had my phone right next to me I don’t think I could’ve called anyone, had I let go of the of the spring with my other hand the downward pressure onto my finger would’ve made me faint. I guess this is the risk I took doing this job completely by myself.

I’ll take better pictures soon, when I’m not completely exhausted! Haha

I have to agree 100% with that! With my JKU I was getting tons of waves, now with my Gladiator - almost zero. I still wave, even though I don't get a wave back...

Reading this gave me the shudders. Been there done that. That's why I used a spring compressor.

I can’t find mine yet after the move. It almost happened to me yesterday pulling springs out. Nasty stuff. It’s happened to me before, but I was able to get it out. Terrible though.

i lol’d.

had I lost the tip (giggity) it would’ve made one hell of a story at the bar..I’d obviously lie and say I fought off a bear

I don’t have a spring compressor, but I imagine with my luck, it I would’ve effed that up too and actually die lol

I genuinely don’t know how people get hurt by those. With some common sense, you’d need to try to hurt yourself. I’m guessing the ones from the old days didn’t have safety pins to prevent them from releasing the spring.
