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

[ChrisNLA]

Removed my air intake to peak at the power steering pump. Everything looks fine per the recall documentation. I will get the recall sorted later this year when I get the hood corrosion looked at.

I also swapped in my new rear diff cover. I'll have to do the front another day. Oreillys only had three sacks of fluid and the rear took two, so im gonna buy one more from another store before I dive into the front.

Oh and changed the oil. Looks like im using half to 3/4 quart per 5000-5500 miles. No leaks, oil film in the intake looks normal. Motor is quiet. Seems about right. No worries. I tow a lot and the weather is hot

Got the bumper bezel and tow hooks in and the bed sliders loosely fitted. The tow hooks can only go in 1 way unless you grind off a fitment tab. Wasn’t aware of that so not exactly the way I wanted but they’re on there. Installing that bezel is a blitz!!! And not in a good sense of the word. Like pulling apart a Russian doll that’s been bolted together with plastic bolts and thermogenic adhesive. Right when you think you’ve got it there another damned later to dig through. And that layer has another round of tabs and bolts holding it together. I cursed every vehicle design engineer that’s ever lived at least a couple million times. Anyway it’s hot and I’m wrung out like a dead lizard on sun baked concrete so im calling it until tomorrow morning. Heres where I stand.

Did the OEM tow hook bezel swap on my 2022 Willys and swore I would never do that again.

You can still do the strap on types. They work pretty well. That’s what I use in mine. They ain’t fancy but they’re functional.

My seat covers have molle and zipper pockets.

AMEN!!!!

Ah ok. I misunderstood. I thought you needed some Molle goodness behind the seat.

I just loved that product for you. And I love it in general.

FINALLY got around to swapping the coolant reservoir. I need to tow the trailer 7 hours round trip between tomorrow and Monday, so that’s a good test of whether I get coolant smell when the jeep is under significant load. I’m really impressed with this mishimoto part. I haven’t started it, but it hooks right up to oem connections. I’m not worried at all.

Went back out to start chopping to clear for the bed sliders. Did a few cursory cuts but the dremel died. I do believe that was The Almighty telling me to call it a day so I did. And just to show that I halfway know what I’m doing….

I can’t use the laughing and thumbs up emojis together on this forum. Nuff sed.

I made my bed divider and cross bar for hauling large/long stuff. I used my CNC to cut out a terrain pattern with the name of my Jeep rising above it.

Cleaned/washed K&N air filter, added some water to the coolant reservoir, ready to go to Drummond Island, MI August 4

Only dropped 1 air filter screw (stupid design), thankfully it dropped all the way down to the ground
