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

[RS3]

That color is saaaawweet I really like that. Take that ANY day over safety barrel orange and High Visibilty road worker Green everyone is sqwauking about.

I think the brighter colors look good but they are not necessarily for me. My first JT was Silver Zynith which I liked because it always looked clean. I do like the more muted colors though.

A few people have said that about Bilsteins 5100 . To be honest, the oem lasted almost 4 years. My 2014 Duramax still has the original shocks. I'd like to know who made those for GM.

Probably Bilstein shocks that have no label

I know the answer. Nana nana boo boo.

@Hootbro has been waiting for this - I know he has, and I bet he predicted it, so to keep his prediction record perfectly clean.........
(most of these I got in the mid-1970s)

Had to fix 4 flats today. On the bright side, I’m now qualified to run my own tire shop.

Took a break from the wiring and interior stuff to revamp the rack.

Swapped out steel top rails and steel side panels with Rebel's new aluminum ones I got from @JTdiRtyD. Also lost the cross bar mounting system, aligned the rack rails with the longitudinal rails on the bottom of the ikamper and cut some 3/8" spacers out of aluminum plate to set it just high enough to clear the carriage bolts that hold the rack together. Bolted down in 8 places with threaded square nuts in the ikamper. I had the tire spaced down an extra inch because the wheel was rubbing the spare winch but with the 40s and extra 1" width of the tire I was able to lose the spacers and get back an inch of space in the bed.

So, lowered the RTT by an inch and raised the spare by an inch, and lost probably a hundred pounds.

Also being very conscious of outside clearance. I run this Jeep down trails much tighter than I really should. If anything had been mounted outside of the rack on my last trip it would have been ripped off.

So the next challenge is to mount an extinguisher, propane tank, two dust lights, a rear facing camera, and two 5 gallon rotopax water cans all on the inside of the rack off the floor and accessible from the rear without having to crawl into the bed. Will be a tight fit.

Well that fits better than expected. 5 gallon water rotopax. I'll mount another either ahead of it (inconvenient) or come up with some sort of bracket to mount it below to the side of the bed. Other side is going to get the propane tank. I like cooking on the tailgate. This is going to be a much more convenient setup. Got a spigot for the rotopax so I can just reach up and convenient fresh water

Yeah man, I guess the trail had a ‘buy 1 nail, get 3 free’ special. My Jeep never misses a good deal


Pretty sure it happened near the top… flagpole knob Somewhere by the campsite, I think. Jeep’s memory is better than mine.

The faux hood vents. The hood was completely gutted.
