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

[NC_Overland]

Sorry you had a bad experience with them this time, they were good for me. Their products work great.

Everyone complains about their turn around time and lack of communication. You’d think they’d respond to emails. They responded to one, almost two weeks later, and ignored the other two and they don’t answer the phone. The product is fine. It fits and appears to be good quality. Some people said you need to wallow out the holes for the bolts. I didn’t. I just cut two bolts short. They were all way too long. That’s no problem at all. 20 sec with the die grinder. I only had to loosen the top bolt on the air intake. Some people said you have to remove it. I like the product. Hate the turn around time and lack of communication.

Thanks. I’m doing a full master kit (bearings, seals, and shims) on Friday. Paying an expert from a shop to moonlight at my house and teach me how to do it. Can’t wait.

I have no doubt you'll do fine. You are a "quick study" and determined.
Swapping gears is a lot worse than just bearings and seals, IMO.

Picked up a set of take off OEM factory LED headlights and taillights from Facebook Marketplace. Took almost two days to this get this older lady to commit on my offer to buy both but she finally came through and was less than a mile from my work that I snuck out of around lunch time to get today. Got them installed after I got home from work. Still need to play with the JScan settings a bit more but they work.

Three months later, my winch power shut off bracket finally arrived. No more zip ties. I don’t recommend using American Adventure Lab. The bracket fit and works fine, but their customer service and lead time are horrible.

In 3 month’s time I could’ve created a company, patented the design, built it, sold it and shipped it to you for less money than you paid, provided you paid more than 12 dollars for it

not sure which pinion is bad for you. the front is taper stock. There is a kit to replace rear roller to taper

Front. The rear was redone recently. Thanks. Love this forum. I wouldn’t know half what I do without it.

Nice find.

Thanks for the confidence. I’m learning. If it’s a full tear down, why are new ring and pinion harder to do? Genuinely asking.

Uh Dan………ya forgot to put a fender on! Small oversight, right?….Jack

Fenders are like 10mm sockets - you can never find one when you need one!

I swear I could decorate my garage walls with 10mm sockets and box wrenches if I found them all.

It’s ridiculous. It was $21 iirc.

I would have made one myself if I had any idea how long it would take. I was lazy and thinking why not for $20.

Swapped out the tail lights for a new set, thanks again @ORACLE Terry for the suggestions and reassurance!

Pretty impressive truck James , but “Dad “ in chalk on the driveway is what it is about!

Morimoto is getting very close to releasing their Gladiator tails. No reassurance needed with them.

Just the other day Quadratec just posted a video on Gladiator exhaust and they have Oracle products half lit up and half defective lol. Hope you have Goodluck with yours!

Hah. It’s a 2020 that’s worked hard, but I wash the engine bay a few times per year. The last one I did it was only a few months ago.
