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

[WILDHOBO]

Possibly, but ive hit basically the entire SE. So the trips for more will have to get longer and longer lol. I know for sure I will be doing Up Hill Both Ways(Hawks Pride) later this year. Big MAYBE on a Colorado trip, which I would def let you know about. But I def see my collecting of badges slowing down haha. I went pretty hard in 2025.

I’m with you from the opposite end. Ive gotten the ones within 6 hours or so of me, plus Florida, NH, AR, AL, AZ, and a handful of others like the rubicon. Now the trips are super long. I’ll coordinate with you if you want when I want to do the east. O feel like I need to hit the whole east coast in one shot, or it’s just so much on the odometer.

Let me know if you are going to be in the Glenwood Springs/Aspen area. Can maybe meet up with you and do some trails in the area that aren't as busy.

I don't know if I did this TO my Gladiator, but the lens fell off my @Diode Dynamics side marker. I know I didn't hit it on anything. Light still works. Wonder if I can just replace the lens. They have a 3 year warranty so hopefully it's as easy as a lens replacement or maybe full replacement.

Got the new bed rack on. Finally decided that I wanted more usable height in the bed (due to the RTT being mounted on crossbars). Also lets me bring the fuel/water down off the roof, and weight off of that was much needed (plus it will be more accessible).

Time will tell if the rack will hold up to elements (have a feeling it will need occasional rattle cans), but overall I think the design works.

That’s a great design. I love that you can get full height stuff in, and still have a rack.

I’m doing boring shit. Slowest oil change in history. I didn’t warm it up enough. So it’s draining like molasses.

Is your rack steel or aluminum?

“Carbon Steel”

Not my first choice, but not many options work with my cover’s t-slots.

I think it should hold up fine.

Boring stuff. Oil change yesterday and 5 way rotation today. It was my first time using the steelman rods for easier mounting. They’ll take some getting used to, but they definitely work.

Where did you get them at? The steelman rods.

Those look handy.

There may be other places, but I'm thinking of getting a couple from Amazon.

Pretty sure he has done that to a lot of Gladiator owners.

Pretty sure he has done that to a lot of Gladiator owners.

Or given items to other gladiator owners, he's also quite generous.
