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

[Chuck]

Working on getting my ground plane/roof rack project for my radios
going. The front aluminum sheet got mounted fine. Then a minimum disaster struck ..... the second sheet of aluminum was not cut square by the supplier. So next weekend I'm going to have to cut aluminum. Working out of an apartment garage always makes these small detours more challenging. But I can still drill holes for more mounting screws for the first sheet today And order an aluminum cutting saw blade.

Yay, aluminum cutting.

I’ve cut aluminum plate with a straight edge and circular saw with fine carbon tooth blade. I use the same type blade on my miter saw for cutting aluminum square tube, angle and narrow flat stock. Just cut slow.

Gorgeous property.

Agree. It's what we've dreamed of. It's beautiful for sure.
My wife and I were having breakfast in our sunroom (my wife calls "the porch" and made a comment "I'm sure glad we have trees on at least 2 sides and no one has bought the land across the road yet". We were watching the birds, the deer walking just barely in the tree line, etc.

I used to turn an old blade around so it spun backwards to cut steel roofing material.... noisy as heck, hot sharp metal everywhere, but it worked.

Very nice work.

Thanks man. Very kind and much appreciated. I'm having fun. Hopefully mine will be starting to look more like yours when she grows up.

Interesting but my grab bar doesn’t have that bolt?

Been here ten years now, and I'm nowhere near finished making it better, but it's coming along.
70 acres total. 2 miles of ATV/waling trails in the woods, stocked pond, food plots on the perimeters to attract wildlife. My last five bucks and I lost count on turkeys have come from the "yard".
My biggest buck lifetime was December 2019 and shot from the porch.

Wildflowers have been a fun and challenging project. They do very well mixed in the food plots and along the steep pond banks for beauty, erosion control, and lowered maintenance effort.

Eagles, ospreys, bears, bobcats, coyotes (unless I see them first),waterfowl in winter, and more.

And when can we go hunting? Lol

Interesting, I would've thought all models had them.

You mean scratched and dented?

Your work is really nice, and is inspiring more fun projects for me. Don’t tell my wife though.

The 2020 I had and my current 2022 don't have that (both are Overland)

Very interesting indeed, it appears the Overland models have a different grab handle then.

Installed these with the wife today. Driver side lined up better than the passenger side. I definitely liked the Rusty’s ones better, but they are never in stock.

Couple minor things today. I put longer bolts in the top rear sway bar end links. The old ones were pretty damn short, especially after putting on the metal cloak reinforcement bracket. I also mounted my element fire extinguisher using a quick fist and a molle insert from gorman precision. Don’t mind the dog hair. Lol
