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

No way. I’ll buy the occasional low quality bench tool from them, but I’d rather have decent quality hand tools.

I have mostly craftsman and snap on stuff however as I acquire HF ICON products I am very impressed it is better then craftsman and not quite Snappy .. I love my Icon 73" roll cab

I have a set of the half inch deepwell 6 side impact sockets and they have proven to be super tough.

Spent some time in the mountains of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon yesterday. Found a trail that ended up being 22 miles long. I was bombing down the trail at 60 mph in my Mohave. Then the trail went from dirt to gravel. I kept going and the rear flares plus some paint took a beating. Trail was beautiful and the Mojave handled the washboards really well. Not many if any stock suspensions can handle these types of roads like the Mojave. My JLU wouldn't have been a beating and I would have turned around at mile 2. Luckily the rear fenders can be replaced for relatively cheap in FB Marketplace. For the life of me, I can't believe people buy Jeeps equipped with with painted fenders. Here is what they look like after being washed.

Shoot, mine look like that after 4 months of highway driving even with flare extensions and mudflaps...
I thought about ditching the Mopar sliders and getting something that offers wider protection, but then those will just get peppered and expose bare steel to just rust away in MN winters.

I’m so handy. Added a divider for nothing more than keeping my fridge/battery from sliding around. It barely fits so it can only slide side to side which it will be tied down on one side. Even able to get my soccer ball bag in there with the fridge.

Mines been like that for year thought about taking them off putting some fine grit sandpaper to them and then running over em with a butane torch .
Have done that on motorcycle plastic made it look brand new .

Not mine. I’m crap when it comes to body work.

i had a paintless dent guy look at it. he hurriedly backed away from screaming " NO NO NO". you wouldn't think a mini-van could throw that much gravel in the air when he tore up the driveway!

More pictures of the recovery. Unless you've been to Poughkeepsie Gulch, it's hard to get a feel for the incline. We were the last ones in the area for the day 230p-3pm, he had professional recovery help coming, but hours away, so he was lucky we were there to assist with some daylight left. @WILDHOBO was the rear anchor, and @darksidedesign on the front. The bronco owner had his winch set to my tow strap used as a tree strap anchor 30' up the hill to pull him upright, while everyone else kept things tight with their winches. Without the rear anchor, he would have rolled forward without control.

That off camber would pucker my butt and leave a crease in my leather seat. I don't know the run, but I guess he should have taken a line more to the passenger and straddled the centre?

You gave the guy nightmares for when he going to bed.
