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

[rvillano8188]

Installed my hot heads head liner with the sound strips. I should have, but didnt, spring for the extra side pieces.

very easy to install if you read the directions. I didnt need to take the top off but it was a good excuse to.

haven’t drove with them yet. But I had them in my JKU and they were amazing.

I didn't either. I have had my eye on those side molle panels for awhile from JCR and thought they might interfere. Plus for the additional price I thought they wouldn't bring enough value. could be wrong.

As for whether that feature is a "Live" function or not, I have no idea. You would have to call or email ZAutomotive tomorrow and find out.

Just for the others that “liked” discovering the Tazer could do this....Jim pointed the manual out. According to it, the tag blackout in reverse is a “live feature” meaning the tazer must stay plugged in. Just FYI for those who read about battery draining issues (though it seems that has mostly been worked out and not an issue if you follow their reboot directions).
That and ESS disabled is easily worth the money not even counting the other perks. Thanks AL Mud Machine!

No problem. I also recommend pairing it with an iDrive throttle controller unit, if you can swing the dough. I run mine on U-7 mode, and it’s perfect. It has even MORE get-up & go with the much heavier 37’s & 20” wheels (Tazer recalibration for tire size), and the iDrive unit, than it did 100% stock on factory 285/70r17 Falken M/Ts. It’s like adding a programmer without tuning anything.

Hit 8,000 miles today and we're just over 30-days old. It's been an amazing truck so far.
Hope to slow the roll soon.

I've had mine since January and have only managed 2500 miles. Covid has cut way down on the wear and tear of my vehicles.

I got this on eBay but it's not that easy to put on. It emediately stuck to paint just from wind blowing it when I was lining it up and I got some of the vinyl tangled. I did the best I could and stretched the second flag line around the actual gas tank to conceal the mark my finger nail made. What do you guys think ? Do you think it looks symmetrical enough to leave it on?

Finally put my rack and RTT on.

I was under the impression that the ARE topper could not support the weight of a tent plus occupants, not to mention a roof rack on top of those things...is that incorrect?

Wired up my cannon led lights

 

[cbl1]

Installed Lux RGB Max Rock lights with their bluetooth controller (well the passenger side - got dark so need to do Driver Side tomorrow)

Took me about 30 minutes to wire up the controller to the aux switch wire under the hood and prep everything. Then another 20 minutes or so to feed the wires up to the controller and wire it in.

As far as feeding the wires across the passenger side and tying up .... about another 30 minutes.

So by time finished I will probably have just over 2 hours in the full job. So simple thinking about doing on my boat next (will have to buy the metal plates for the boat install to mount magnets to).

Before you installed did you spray the paint down with a soap/water solution? That is what gives you the ability to slide it around. Once you have it in place you squegee that and it adheres and moisture naturally dries out.

I think it looks good! I have the under the sun black and white flags on my front fenders.

Did you also install the delrin bushings or just the guide pins?
Bushings + Pins

Just the guide pins.

Got 35's put on today! Lots of chatter they don't rub without a lift... They DO rub, only in the front.... but only if you are at max turning, max flex, with sway bar disconnected. If its connected they will never rub, if you don't have to make a hard turn while fully articulatd you'll be fine... which seems unlikely given the amount of trails I've had her and and her sisters on.. The last image she still has the stock 33's.

Swapped out the Sport S Max Tow fender flares for Rubicon

Some "35s" are bigger than other "35s". I've seen as much as an inch and half or so of difference by tire brand and type. Could you tell us what tires you have, and could you measure vertically from the ground contact to the point where the shoulder makes it's sharp bend into the tread on top? That number, BTW, is a good starting place for a programmer setting to calibrate your odometer/speedometer. It's usually right on, and don't be surprised if it's quite a bit less than 35.

I got rid of the amber corner markers, added some KC Gravity driving lights, covered the yellow logo with gray, and replaced the fog lights with a set of matching KC’s.

What did you do to remove the amber corner markers

Looks like he is running Falken Wildpeak MTs. Which is what I run in 35x12.5x17. Those tires are withouth any load 34.8" in diameter. They are closer to 33.5" when mounted, at least for me. I don't have any rub, at all. But, my sway bar links are always connected. No rub on turning or on trails. The only time it hit the fender liner was during climbing over some larger rocks. However, that was with the Sport Max Tow fender flares. I recently installed the Rubicon fender flares, which added 1.5-2" of clearance between the top of the tire and the fender flare liner, so that should eliminate all contact of the tire with any part of the vehicle.
