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

[Stan H]

I think that Hollow DOM has its place but in places Hollow DOM doesn't give enough insurance.

Got my front tube doors and installed them. Rears won't arrive until Tuesday. Took a long ride after I installed them. I love open air driving. I traded a convertible for my gladiator and forgot how much I love having the top down.

Chris, did you forget the MC rear sway bar frame brace, or perhaps you have it already…….Jack

I do have their sway bar brackets for the rear already.

Did the 1k oil change on engine #3 and changed the diff fluids.

I removed the filter 3 days ago and inspected filter . Looked good but with @Maximus Gladius recommendation I wrapped in clean microfiber and let oil soak out leaving nothing but the filter I carefully cut it open here is results. Took 3 pics to get entire media that close

@Maximus Gladius was that good I sure thought it looked good.

What filter was that?

With a filter looking like that, it’ll be the last 3.6 you’ll ever own!

Well after 134k miles with the exception of 1 time I couldn't get one . They have all been Wix WL10010 filter.

I just picked up a bunch of renewal top engine parts, injectors, coil packs, plugs, plenum seals.

Took advantage of MetalCloak's Labor Day sale and bought basically everything from my list to finish out my lift. Hit up Amazon for AEV 5100 Bilstein Shocks, Struts, and Steering Stabilizer ram, since the factory Rubicon Fox shocks have 63.5k miles on them and they're quite squishy and doing what they're supposed too.

That GOLD STANDARD and AEV For the Win!!!

I didn't go as hard as you. I only ordered the rear sway bar reinforcement brackets. I have no cracks at the moment and have done some very high speed trails. I'm running the Hellwig rear sway bar so I figure with it being stiffer that the extra reinforcement couldn't hurt.

Pulled my drag link, drilled my knuckle to 7/8”, which was not fun at all, but it’s done. Cleaned it up and test for the new teraflex drag link in a top steer orientation. In a previous post I mentioned that I pressed the knuckle joint out of the drag link and put it back in upside down for top steer, the taper sleeve is from apex chassis.

AEV Dualsport 2.5 RT lift installed

Agreed. And to be fair, I didn’t kill the dom in my previous links. I kept killing ball joints.

That's a smart setup. You can change your mind or go back to stock later and not have to swap parts. Should have great grip strength.
