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

[Sazabi19]

I like the quadratec and the Rugged Ridge door sill protectors way better then the Mopar …. I just wish they had left off the branding and just made the protectors without the advertising.

That's why I went with rubberized skid tape, no branding, I can make it as large as I want it, and it doesn't get in the way at all of weather stripping.

Bent a brain, my work is done here.

Have you ever unbent a brain? I find that quite rewarding.

Been a busy ant working on the Gladiator.

First change
Painted the front hooks

Then

Then the bumper plastic, left the back covers after using a dremmel to cut and sand finish. Rugged finish

Then the hood locks

wheel spacers

Rock sliders

That’s all for now.

Added a truss, 5.13 Spicer gears, flipped my draglink to the top, and added a Spicer diff cover.

Beautiful!!!...

Where did you get the red inserts for your headlight surround and grill?

Nice! Did you have to paint them red?

Yes I painted the mesh red... multi coats.

Took the JTR for small Mother’s Day trail ride.

Did you remove the bumper to paint tow hooks?

Nothing directly to DawgBox, but got a Dometic CFX 3 75 DZ. Dawg simple to set up and is busy keeping the beerskies nice and cold! Testing for the next 3 weeks and off to CO with breakfast burritos, some nice sammies, roasted chicken legs and maybe some Marco meals from OverlandDX Now, if I can just find a cover for it....

Have an idea for a cover. Just take a moving blanket and measure out the length and width you would need to cover it then cut out the corners so it drapes over correctly then sew the edges together.

Installed my console organizer and my fire extinguisher holder.

Then I looked up the max storage temp for my Lowe’s auto fire extinguisher and it says 120 degrees.

Well.....living in Vegas I park outside a lot in the summer. There are always yahoos leaving their pets, or worse kids, in the car where they die of heatstroke so I started looking for info and found that the direct sun on a dashboard can get as hot as 157 degrees.

My windows came lightly tinted from the dealer and my hothead headliner is on its way but paranoia set in about the the thing exploding and a hole in the side of my JT......so I strapped the whole thing to the jack under the seat to keep it in further from the hot roof and away from the sun.

Apologies if this should be its own thread but am I being overly cautious?

May want to consider looking into these https://elementfire.com/ . This is the route I am going and you can carry many more in smaller space.

Modified my Lange Hoist-A-Top to allow me to store the freedom panels without the top attached
