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

[WILDHOBO]

Installed Redrock bed side rock rails. Additional benefit...passenger side of the bumper had taken a big hit already, so these actually sucked the bumper back to the position it should be in.

Those things are of paramount importance. I don’t think I’d have a bed without them. Great addition.

Gave it the first proper bath in months. Also buffed and polished the hood. Its trashed from hail dents and corrosion on the driver side lip but still needs to look good while it's still on the truck.

 

[OVERLORD]

Did I every Cher I am olde, and grumpy. and smell like bad Parsnips?

Watts wurst, I woke up in a pissy mood.

Watt to due on a piss day like this.

Very little, wif equal doses of pissyistness, and cans of cheep suds.

Due a piss thing, have a can of cheep suds.

Due anudder, diffint, piss thing, have a can of cheep suds.

Got purty snocker'd, started dancing, and singing show tunes on the tailgate, hoping some purty, fine thing, would slip singles into my sequined speedo!

Never happen'd.

SUCK!

Drank a lot of cheep suds, got suntanned in areas that haven't seen sun in decades, hurt my back trying to twerk.

Yet the de-taling on the Overlord on the OVERLORD looks fine.

Did I say OVERLORD more than once?

CARP!

Even cleaned the babcon grease off the inside of the windshield.

I have a headache and my back hurtz.

Yeah, itsa Maul Cruller .......... AND?

Flappy paddles and painted the trim piece in a matte black. No more getting blinded by stupid chrome!

Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to het the airbag trim black also.

Easy peasy one today. Added my D2700 Lost World and Fins and Things badges that finally came from the June trip out west.

Replaced the weak ass Synergy drag link ends that only lasted 15k miles with the same shitty ends. Gonna use it as a pull up bar and goes with something else.

Go with @Metalcloak HD tie rod. Mine has almost 15K on it and lots of heavy wheeling and I had the wheels off last week checking everything and they are still super tight and fresh still.

Installed Redrock bed side rock rails.

So today starting at 10am and finishing at 6pm with an hour ir so for lunch me and my Uncle Rick replaced Sparkplugs , Coil Packs , and injectors. And the camsensor on the drivers bank 2, plus both seals on each bank for the high lift cam oil sensors. In the one pick you will see the O-ring lube. That stuff was amazing. Also cleaned the plenum out with Non non-chlorinated brake cleaner and also cleaned the throttle body out ,and the EGR valve got a very thorough cleaning as well. This was a thorough cleaning. the o-ring lube was also used on the 6 new plenum seals that I also installed. It was a big job . But I was amazed at the increased power and acceleration. Even holding a higher gear on several hills I travel alot so I know this wasnt placebo
In the pics you will several plugs and gap measurements. #6 was the worst and probably where I was getting an occasional rough idle when cold. They ranged in gap from 43-46 .
P.S. shoot out to @WILDHOBO & @Maximus Gladius for some links to the lift solenoid seals and both on several guidance tips.

Washed the truck, top to bottom, then started priming my new skid plates.

Did you gap the new plugs with that same tool?

 

[Stan H]

No actually just checked to confirm they where at speck. . They all read .43

Why you ask that particular question

 

[Hootbro]

Why you ask that particular question

They do not recommend those old school coin gapping tools for iridium plugs to spread the gap as the drag can take the iridium coating off the tips.

Something like this tool is generally recommended to pry up the side electrode without scraping on the center electrode tip.

Lol didn't know that good tip though Thats why I love this Forum thanks @Hootbro

Inside (side you don't see when they're mounted under the truck) painted red. Can't decide if I'm going to do a second coat. Outside will be black Herculiner.
