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

[OVERLORD]

One of them there Vega Du moments?

As shared afor, I'm olde, grumpy and smell like olde Brussell Sprouts.

Since I've learned about Evil Bay, it's amazing the things I can buy, I never use, and don't fit anythin', anyhoo.

I get tail gated all the time, some soccer mom in an SUV, fluffing her hair, puttin' on make-up, feeding junior in the back seat, or catching up on the juicy stuph on the soap she missed, on her cellar phone, "As the stomach turns".

After drinking half a beer, I ordered it,

Hey, I'm a cheap date.

You Ladies in your seventies with some of your teef, pay attention!

Cheap date!

So, it sat on the shelf under my Depends.

Today was the day!

Ninety something degrees, trimmed the apple tree, shot gunned a brewski, and cracked anudder can of suds.

Much more, and I'll be a beer slut singing show tunes, and hoping some of those Ladies with teef, will slip singles into my G-String.

Let's put this thing on, somewhere.

Sip some more from a fresh cold one.

Drag my snockered self into the OVERLORD's bed.

Wasn't purty.

Getting out will be a feat.

Now the boggle, do I center on the lil window, or do I center it next to it.

CARP! I gotta pee, and I ain't climbing back up in this thing, time for beer balls, so let's just do it!

I kinda like it, subdued, so it shouldn't create any issues, hopefully.

The silver kinda goes with the OVERLAND trim.

The only bad thing, it looks like I cleaned the window with a Jimmy Dean Sausage patty.

Why does this seam so oddly familiar?

I kind of want the one that says "If I passed you on the right, you're an idiot", but I couldn't bring myself to put it on, even though now that I have the Gladiator the people must be double idiots because, like your sticker mentions, it ain't fast.

Sorry I took so long, why are there so many buttons on the mousey thing, and what does the wheely thing do?

Deja brew. You need another drink.

Thanks, I don't do if I mind! Cheers!

Gotta find me a drink. It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Too much Clorine ....

Too much Clorine ....

And not enough tequila

Dan, I took my hardtop off when swapping with a guy for his untinted rear window,l top, might weigh fifty pounds. I think soft topper would be easy but does take two. I’ll stop by!….Jack

You know you’re welcome any time.

So did the user name come from the sticker or the sticker from the user name?
I kept trying to think of something to put on those custom text stickers, but it never even crossed my mind that my handle would work.

The name became before both. Involves my kids. One daughter suggested the name for the Jeep and it went from there.

Installed Rugged Ridge sill guards and detailed it. I’ve only had it a month and I’m going to take my time with any mods. Figured these were a no brainer though…

 

[SaiintNick]

Pretty cool, is this option available on all Gladiators?

No idea, but probably only ones with adaptive cruise control.

 

[Mightytalldude]

There’s no way it’s getting high enough to clear the topper, but if I fold it down it will easily.
The original hulk was so much better.

At the old house, I would have removed the top, AND, had a place to keep it. Now with the new place, and heat hotter than all that is unholy, it's probably never coming off. The Hothead headliner for the Sunrider has my attention though.

 

[WILDHOBO]

I installed my @darksidedesign grab handles. They are worth the wait!

That they are. He’s the best.

Installed the enclosure for the Rebel rack. Everything worked out really good except the rear door, which still worked out fine just not the way I hoped and I had to improvise. I should have designed it like a normal topper door and use use latches instead of following Rebels idea of using the tailgate to lock in the door. It would have allowed me to do the hurricane hinge a little differently and been easier to seal off from the elements.

I also started working on my bed slide out. I'm skeptical of this one, simply because I kind of expect the Vevor slides to fail, but we will see. I opted for this design over one of the cargo-slide or Decked slide systems because they are expensive and sit so damn high off the deck. With having a half height cap I wanted as much vertical space as I could get. Because if this, I built mine a little too low, and when weight is added it sags just enough to scrape the tailgate, so I added some HDPE pieces for it to slide on to keep it off the tailgate. Effective and easy to replace when they get worn. Next step is coat the decking in Herculiner and some t-track.

Also ordered my lift. AEV Dualsport with high cap springs. From my measurements with the lift, 37's (once I get them), and my tent installed I should have about 1.5-2 inches of clearance to fit in the garage.
