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

[ShadowsPapa]

The trick is to keep busy or you get bored, then you will not last long.

HAHAHAHAHA - what is this "bored" you speak of?
Never heard of it!

My wife retired 2 years before I did - I've been retired over 8 years. NEVER a day being bored.
There were times at work I got bored as I did so much so fast, or got bored with a chore there and couldn't cut over and do something else for a while, but that never happens if you own a home, 2.5 acres of grass and 2 Jeeps and 2 cars. There's always maintenance on something. Even killing chipmunks ripping up the retaining walls........... picking raspberries, cleaning and freezing them, crap, the deer are going after the apple trees again, time to mow again, mower needs oil change and radiator cleaning, time to plug the battery tender into the JT as it's been sitting a couple of days, gotta go scoop the litter boxes, Pickle wants to play and is hinting at wanting catnip again...........

I have so many hobbies. I’m genuinely excited to retire so I can work on the fun stuff full time. These are the years I’ve been waiting for my entire life.

Yes side to side sway was an issue but mainly the front to rear sway was bad.

Talked to metalcloak and they pointed the finger at the dual anti rocks rather than the rocksport reds. I think it was a combination of both, but with the current setup it drives better than most lifted Jeeps I have owned. The accutuned Fox's are really nice, more than I really wanted to spend on shocks but very nice.

I don't really get the benefit of the anti rocks on the front, not as good on or off road as the stock Rubi bar. Maybe for those wanting to be disconnected outside of 4low.

I wonder with those shocks and coupled with rear air bag set up eliminating the coil springs . Wonder how it would feel.
I had a Ram Diesel with rear air ride and it was a dream and crap would it haul and air compressor kick in and pump air bags up more if needed.
I am seriously considering rear air

I like most of what Metalcloak does but the rocksport reds are purely an offroad shock, but they are cheap so you are getting what you paid for.

The original owner of mine took Kings off and put these on before selling. So they were pretty much new but they were so loose I could work them by hand easily.

It’s certainly great for ride leveling, but I don’t know much about how it handles articulation off road. Again, I don’t have experience with it, other than on a grand Cherokee, but I’d be worried it wouldn’t let one side droop while the other side traveled up.

"crap" lol, I think people at work do that also to avoid boredom.

I’m at the mid point. But the second half will hurt more.

Cracked the windshield.
Less than 3K miles, and it got taken out by a rock off a minivan on the highway.
