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

[40x40]

Whelp...it be dat time o' de year...

Replaced my Freedom panels with my BestTop Sunrider top.

And, for the first time, I actually got the Freedom panels into their bag correctly on the FIRST try

It's usually like trying to insert a USB drive...you know, gotta turn it around a few times before it actually fits and goes in ???

that's what she said! i can't help my inner 14 year old self.

I try to lift the tire just barely off the ground so there isn’t much lifting. But I may look into dollys when I get too old.

oooh Dan that's cold man, cold!

Not that cold. I’m getting close to buying a dolly. I can’t decide if it’s because I’m weak, long in the waistband, or that I just love tools.

Don't feel bad. I have the same problem. Never get it right the first time., or the second time. Sometimes I just leave in in the bed with only one side zipped up.

Know the feeling. Rotated my tires for the first time a few weeks ago. I was like holy crap these things are a lot heavier than my last vehicle. Had to sit with my legs spread around the tires to get enough leverage to lift them back up and on. Next time I will definitely only jack up the truck as little as necessary and yes I'm old.

I’ve done 11 five way rotations on it so far. I think I’ve gotten used to it. But when I do my wife’s car, they feel like feathers.

Same with my wife's car. I've decided that I am going to use your excuse of "I just love tools" if I decide to get a tire tool down the road.

Added some Metalcloak rear reinforcement brackets.

Needed upgrades done. Steering knuckles, steering links, swaybar reinforcement, rear driveline, ACT clutch.

One of my many jobs over the years was repairing truck tires. The trick is to get a fulcrum, a short length of 2x or 4x, and a three or so foot long pry bar. Roll the tire up to the hub, kick the board up in front of the tire and pry it up on the hub. A shorter pry bar will work on a Jeep tire, of course, unless you found some adapters to mount you some 11.00- 24.5 tires!

We worked all day yesterday on the pond banks. Sunrise to sunset.
Just enough light left for a quick rinse.

You will not be disappointed. They take a beating and your steering will thank you.

Yea I was thinking I needed to come up with a way to make that easier. I'm not sure I have a pry bar that long but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Appreciate the tip.

Finally got over my fear and swapped my gray dash for the red one provided to me by @Koons_of_Tysons_Corner when I bought my truck and it came with the gray (my truck is gobi).

Easier than I expected. When I turned the truck back on, didn’t have SiriusXM and some other features. Found that by holding the power and the select button for 10 seconds reset my head unit when I let go. All features work again.
