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

[Bandit’s Lair]

How the hell did that happen?

Flux capacitor had a negative reaction with the hyperdrive and created too much pressure in the warp core. Happens all the time.

None of it makes sense just going by the picture unless it was nicked from the get go when the bundle was wrapped. If his location is correct for showing Michigan, it is minty looking under there with almost zero rust showing. There is crude inside the bundle also, so it may been from possible water fording or excessive winter road crime.

Yep. I thought the wire bundle was up in there protected. I’ll have to go out there and take a closer look at mine now. Didn’t really make sense to me either, thus the brainiac answer.

Random corroded/split wire inside the bundle. Probably a pin hole in the sheathing. Yes, 6 Michigan winters and 104k miles. 4wd back in business for Drummond Island in August

 

[WILDHOBO]

Finally found my broken wire for the FAD. Waaay back by the connector under the rear passenger door.

C1463-13
"13" is broken wire

That was not easy to find. Very impressive.

Replaced the 3rd Brake Light

I love YouTube, I was done in like 10mins. Hardest part was pulling the plug.

What’s so hard about installing this thing? It’s like 12 screws and two threaded sleeves. Took a bit longer for me since had to drill out and chase the threaded holes in the bed walls.

100% not paying for MOPAR branding.

Ah, I see where you're lost....you are using logic and prior mechanical knowledge. There were reviews of people complaining that the rails weren't marked left/right/front. There was complaints about that "weird silver thing" (rivnuts). I took the rails out of the package, said, "this one goes here, this one goes there...".

Prior knowledge for me was looking at the factory threaded holes and I said "I gotta chase these thread to get rid of the bed liner.". Yes, some reviewers said the "cheap screws" broke/stripped because they wouldn't screw in and showed a pic of a snapped screw...and bedliner.

I guess some people need directions on how to open a door knob...

You never know the ages of people posting those low-star reviews, but I'd venture a guess they were quite young or never really worked on a vehicle before.

It was on sale, I was weak, I ordered it. So far very happy! It does what is says. Hardest part is retraining my fingers from poking the button after poking start. Edit: It is a standalone start / stop eliminator. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGPCCD1K

No.........he let the smoke out.

 

[HOLLYWOOD33]

Caught a decent sale a little while back and pulled the trigger on a set of RSE slider/steps.

What you can't see in the photos is a Clayton rear track bar to fit my 37x12.50x17 MT Baja Boss AT spare tire along with a 1.5" Teraflex rear spacer and a Daystar .75" rear spacer to fix the "Jeep Lean" and prepare for my ARE Classic paint-matched bed topper.

I’m not sure what I might have done to my Gladiator today. I was installing a Bulletpoint accessory rail and one of the screws escaped down the right side defrost vent and immediately boarded the Orient Express on its way toward China.

Am I in trouble? Is there a chance it will cause problems, or are even odds that it will find itself a corner to homestead in and remain there harmlessly until the end of time?

On a related note, does anyone have the specs for the screws used on the Bulletpoint so I can make a trip to the hardware store to find a rrplacement?

Probably won’t cause a problem unless it somehow jams itself into the plastic doors but if you can get one of those magnetic probes down in there you might be able to get it out. I’d contact BulletPoint and see if they can:

1) Provide the specs for the screws
2)Provide you a set of replacement screws

 

[Mojave20]

Installed Metalcloak front track bar reinforcement bracket & sector shaft brace.

Required trimming some off of the Mojave coil bucket brace.

Great looking Gladiator - really like the stance and overall set-up!

What lift and tire combo are you running?

Sorry for the late reply, was out on a trip.

3" AEV Dual Sprot RT with HD springs
37x12.5 Mickeys
17x9.5 0 offset Method wheels

Already tried magnet fishing without even a nibble.

I’m sure they’d probably respond but I hate to bug a vendor for issues I create all by myself.
