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

[Gladijave]

So not just today, but last Saturday and today I put I in my armorlite flooring and bartact seat covers, alien sunshade, and weathertech mudflaps.

Here’s the driver side armorlite after 1 week of driving about 3 hours a day M-F. I can tell you, when the carpet was in, one week of driving and it looked pretty rough. We have a gravel driveway, so all that gravel dust that gets kicked in really sets into carpet, and the armorlite is miles ahead, and I can just wipe it down.

Here is the backseat armorlite, not long after my son hurled all over it lmao! Can’t even tell it happened. He hasn’t thrown up in a vehicle since he was a toddler, so of course it would happen in my new truck. But, the seat cover and floor wiped right down! The back seat cover is just a cheaper one off Amazon, but it did okay too.

Alien sunshade. Awesome, no flapping! I think I might have it in upside down though, and the logo is supposed to be facing up? Not sure it matters, and I ain’t messing with the bungees to flip it.

Here’s the weathertech mudflaps. I should have installed them as soon as I got them, since now I have a couple rock chips from our driveway gravel.

Everything was pretty straight forward to install. It did not take me 1-2 hours to install the armorlite though! It took me a lot longer, but I also had to go back and fix a couple spots I messed up. I could have done it much quicker with some help from my husband, but I’m way too stubborn. I did have old dog as a supervisor though.

oh yeah, I also debadged it. Now that the rubicon stickers are off, I’d like to stick something else where they were…maybe a stripe?

There is still just a slight rake to it, probably like 1/4 to 1/2 inch

I'm on the fence about it in general. I love the look of the gladiator with it lifted around the height of a rubicon, but I also love the look of my sport model as is (no lift but with 35's and 1.5" offset). I'm worried about messing with that. As a kid I used to love the hot rod trucks of all the different hot rods out there.

Installed US Cargo Contol L-track aircraft rails. They are 4’ long and not a direct bolt-in. I took careful measurements and drilled and chamfered the proper holes. I used stainless steel hardware since this is for outdoor use. I have another one on the way for the front of the bed. Since this type of rail is used by the aircraft industry, there are lots of tie-down accessories.

What Molle panel system you have there I briefly see up front?

Finally got bit and had to replace my windshield. I’m hoping this is a lot more durable than the plain OEM.

Decided to try one of these out. Always wanted one on my Tj but never got around to it.

I had one on my TJ, big fan. If I didn’t have a Rubi, I’d have AR for the JT.

Swapped out the gloss black grille for the Mopar satin black grille. Just have to get the trim pieces painted Nacho now. IMO this is how the Willys should have come since all of the other trim and wheels are satin black.

HUh, this is really interesting. I haven’t seen these. I‘m worried the sunblock I put on when my top is off is starting to mess up the plastic where I rest my arms, but it seems like something like this would be helpful.

Today I spent 1/2 day under it retightening all the suspension bolts. During a trip to drop the boy child off to collage I developed a rattle. So after all that hard work tightening all the control arms, shocks, track bar and sway bars links I still have a new rattle over bumps

I also picked up my spare from @Discount Tire. Thanks Don.

I was shocked that the 38x13.5 Milestar Patagonia fit under the bed. I have the Rock Krawler Pro X lift so no track bar in the rear. I need to figure out what to do in order to not melt it. It is only 3/4" from the exhaust pipe. This is with 35PSI or so.

Want to add a steering stabilizer but the stock one feels great with how well this kit feels and the alignment shop did well too it seems. Some how drives MUCH smoother than a 1.5" teraflex lift on 33s.

Cheers!

Today, I prepped StacysMom for p/u by Vroom.
It's a sad day for sure. Made more sad by the new replacement truck that is, well, not even close in terms of creature comforts and quality feel...
