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

[Jeepmonster]

Replaced the rear brake lines with stainless brake lines that are 4" longer than oem. At full droop, the oem line was pulled pretty tight. I got the brake lines from KLM. Any length, and 9 different colors.

I did the same, except with Rusty's SS brake lines. I used these to extend the ABS sensor lines. They were the perfect length. Fronts sensor lines are plenty long enough (no need for extensions).

You didn't have to get anything else other than the PAC module, right? I had my guys take it out real gentle like, so I hope all the wiring was reusable.

Yes sir. All was good! I had to add to the remote wire but I have plenty of that.

I figured it's time to get wrenching, so I manned up, poured a steaming cup of Joe, did the mandatory arm swing and shoulder roll to loosen things up, Inhaled and exhaled to get the O2 flowing, then hit it.

I received my U.S. flag steering wheel decal from Adventure Life this morning. My Mother-in-Law gave me the same style decal for the tailgate for Christmas; didn't ask for it, but now that it's on, I like it. So I decided to do the steering wheel so it'll all be matchy-matchy.

That's it. That's all I accomplished Jeep wise today. The whole "getting ready" thing in the intro was pure sarcasm.

I assumed the decal would be spaced correctly to just line it up and press, all 4 letters at once. Nope, it was ever-so-slightly off. So I did it one letter at a time, easy-peasy. Peel back the backing paper so only one letter was exposed, press, next.

The entire project took an exhausting 2 minutes at most.

Pic didn't turn out that great, but you all get the drift. You can see around the lettering where my alcohol pad took away the Griots vinyl/plastic protectant. I'll touch it up on next vehicle clean. I want the letters to sit undisturbed for a few days so they can set.

Great job. I now recommend you extend the abs wires. Easy to do. Done it to mine and a friends JT. Matched the length of new brake lines exactly.

That's on my to do list.

Stripping mine down for the body shop. Got the bed emptied of topper, Billie bars, trail rails, KC bed lights, bed rug. Cross bars and Starlink are off. Now for the rock slide steps. Not looking forward to that at all. It looks weird. But good without the topper. I wish toppers weren’t so functional. Looks great as a truck.

Just bought the extensions.

That's on my to do list.

If you’re proficient with wiring, which I’m guessing you are, I’d cut them between the two securing brackets. Then carefully strip enough for adding wire. The outer insulation is a pain, but it’s fine with patience. Thankfully it can be done indoors sitting on a comfy chair. I added the length I wanted of 18awg, using solder heat shrink connectors, then more heat shrink. Heat shrink around the two 18’s for strength, then 1/4” corrugated wire loom. Turned out great.

Just bought the extensions.

I didn’t like the extensions because you loose the frame connection above. So if something happens, you could damage the main harness. I wanted to retain all factory service connections for strength. I did buy an extension as a trail spare, but haven’t needed it in the several years since doing this.

I'll see how these are put together.

I put my new Sunrider on, the. The bottom fell out and I’ve been stuck in the house bored ever since.

I love that

At least the one I bought, required that the frame Christmas tree clip needed to be removed. Top of the frame where the abs cable connects to the main harness. I wanted to retain that connection. That and the connection at the bracket where the flex line connects to the hard line.

Bottom of what ?

Getting to be a big pile of stuff.
