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

[ShadowsPapa]

And today, I put the fridge in to test it! It’s an Amazon brand one but works surprisingly well thus far! Cooled down from 63* F to 0* and 35* (L and R) within 45 mins on ECO mode

How many amps did you plan for (wire size, etc.), and what's the wattage of the Amazon fridge?

As far as an HOA? Nope, no way in hell. County rules are enough, I will never ever live where some group of people other than me controls my yard and house. Ain't gonna happen.
Give me trees, lots of trees, birds, deer, squirrels, coyote..............

It was almost like visiting a different planet each day. Incredible difference from one place to the next, yet all were amazing and larger than life.

Yeah there is no place like Southern Utah.

Living in So Cal all my life, I really look forward to my vacations in other states. A totally different culture.

So remember how I have been battling a whistle noise in the cab? Well it hasn't happened since removing the RTT.

I get that an RTT can cause noise from air flow disruptions,. but mine was tucked behind the cab so it shouldn't have been doing much more than any bed topper would. It's also confusing since the whistle would go away if you cracked open any window...

I used 10awg wire with a 15a in-line fuse at the battery, and the plug thing is rated for 150w…our fridge pulls 40w, max.

I don’t know where the HOA discussion came from but my goal when I buy again is to never own in an HOA again hahaha

That was a different post - talking about shedding trees, no trees, who controls what you plant, etc.

40 watts not bad.

Good info.

Gotcha, that’s what I was assuming hahaha

Yeah and this fridge cooled down QUICK…from 65*F to 0* and 35* within 45 mins on ECO mode when it was 75* outside and sunny

Think I’m gonna like this thing hahaha

Spend more time here and you'll grow to appreciate how far we can derail a thread.

Well, as it turns out the bottom of the drivers side link was shot and wobbling and the upper ball joint of the passengers side. So it's a good thing they come in pairs

Added IAG steps to my OEM Rubi sliders. I only bought two, just in case I didn't like them. However, they're very structurally sound, and don't hang below the sliders. I'll pick two more up for the rear doors.

Installed the 41.22 wireless kill switch today. Took about an hour to do it. Mostly to decide where to mount the control box and route the wiring. I mounted the control box under wiper covering. I used 3M double sided body tape to hold the box in place. Replace the starter relay with the kits relay. Ran the wires so that they won't be to noticeable. I used my Dremel tool to put a small notch in the fuse box edge so that the relay wire could come out without being pinched.

Well, I did stuff to BOTH Gladiators today.
First I removed the VisionX rear bumper lights from the '21. Kinda shocked at how badly rusted the brackets were. Never noticed because the reflectors I added hid it. When I took them out, the powder coating all came off with the reflector. It's going to take some work before I can put these in the '25.

Next I tried to install a Z Automotive SGW extension cable in the '25. Key word is tried. When I moved the Tazer over to the '25, it was a LOT harder to unplug the SGW than on the '21. So much more stuff in the way. So I figured I would get the cable to make it easier if I ever need to remove the Tazer again. It was hard getting the original cable unplugged from the SGW, but at least I could get up there with a long skinny screwdriver driver up to depress the release tab and tug on the cable. It's seemingly impossible to plug anything back in. Gave up after 3-45 minutes of trying.

Last thing I did was moved my dead pedal over from the old JT to the new one. One of those things that once you've had it, you don't want to be without it. At least that went easy and as planned. Tomorrow is another day.

Upgraded from sport to Mojave and had Rhino lining sprayed. They did an amazing job
