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

[pendragonz]

Thanks! How long did it take to ship out to you once ordered?

Took about 4 weeks, which in this day and age, is a blessing. I've still got parts on order with delivery estimates of July, August, and September.

Grab handles, sunshade, and sill protectors. Revolverx4s ready to go on when the bedrug gets here.

Put my mopar lift on my new gladiator (had a helper today)…put my wheels and tires on (painted lettering on hubcaps red)… put my step bars on… put 3m clear protector tape on all hinges, started on the tonneau cover brackets, waiting on new stick on seal before I finish installing

Installed my front rigid setup (minus radiance lights) that was stolen a few months ago, installed my rigid reverse lights on my rack and installed my hi lift jack mount.
I also added security screws and will be adding silicone on the bolt ends to prevent any further theft.

1st time in the full nude! Hit the lakes looking at all the rich people‘s lake places. That and I love to look at all the different vehicle you see at the lakes. LOL

Looking good!
which rear seat protector is that? Got a link? Looks like it fits perfect.

I added the Iron Rock, 2" Lift to my truck. Was supposed to be a 2-3 hour job. With lack of tools and equipment got it done in 5 hours. Love the way it looks. I did struggle throughout the entire thing, though I link that to the lack of experience I have in these types of projects. Overall really happy, and want to go t a 4 " suppression lift in the future.

With zero experience it was the right amount of challenging.

I kept the stock wheels ans tires for now.

Next thing to come in, is the cold air intake.

Are the rear bumper hooks painted the same color as the front?

Received the new Oracle back up lights. Now the Drapes match the carpet re. hooks.

Cannot find the exact one I have anymore but this one is very similar.

Finally did my strip wash, clay bar, ceramic coating. Pretty happy with it.

Performed a much needed wash. I don't think it has been this dirty before. I love the Methods, but washing them is a pain... and the Mopar soft toneau cover holds shampoo like Scrooge holds his pennies.

Edit: I should add, I'll get to the tires later this week. And the interior was vacuumed but I'm due for a full interior detail. So I'll get to that next week!

Im way too lazy to do this…ive gotta find a shop around here. That truck looks pristine!

Please post a comparison. I’ve been leaning towards Johnny joints for flex and thinking they’d last longer than rubber joints like Metalcloak or Clayton Giiro joints, but I probably don’t rock crawl enough to justify that!

Well so far with 2 Johnny in back and 2 in front there's absolutely zero change in NVH. I need to get the other 4 installed but the truck is going into the shop for a few up grades. Maybe end of the week I can finish those out.

Put on diamondback bed cover. Sealed and waxed. Also put in headliner. This was over the last week.

Nice. I’m definitely getting on of those Diamondback Covers. I’ve eyed those since day one purchasing my JT. Can’t decide on the SE or HD model nor the smooth black or diamond plated for either. Your appears to be the smooth black correct? SE version? Looks great in any case.

I used electrical potting compound

It takes 12-24 to fully cure. I pulled both sensors out, potted them and then put it back together the next day. There’s a really good write up on the JL page about the process. You will need the compound and 3 qts of diff fluid. Having a T20 torx screwdriver makes it easier so you don’t have to remove the right side cap bolts.
