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

[takeitsleazy]

Installed my SpiderWebShade yesterday! Got about a 3 day stretch of good weather here in WV, so I had to take the doors off too!

How have the red anodized wheel caps held up as far as fading? Thought I saw one local that looked a bit faded, but maybe it was just dirty lol, either way those have been the front runners for me

Interesting times. Semper fi.

I spent plenty of time at the 29 Stumps. Wonderful place in July/August. E-club kept me sane until 2am each night I could get there.

This is me driving my "overland" vehicle in Kuwait:

We both, of course, were part of 1st MEF:

Was at Lejeune and the "Stumps" in the early '80"s. Semper Fi!! MATCS28.

Worked on a rear end rattle. Ok, this is too dumb and simple to NOT tell. So, I was noticing a rattle every time I went over big bumps and railroad tracks. Thinking the factory didn't tighten something in the rear suspension (because I haven't installed my 1" pucks yet) or the frame/bed itself. So, I jack er up high, set the frame down on jack stands, and get to hunting. 30 minutes checking every damn bolt and nut. Nothing remotely loose. Confused, I jack er up, pull the stands, and go to release the jack. As I'm pulling the jack out, I bang my hand on my D-ring receiver plug. RATTLE!!! Yuuup, the damn hitch recovery plug had worn just enough paint off of it, to make it a little loose. No more rattle, it's behind the seat with the rest of the recovery gear

Dropped mine off at dealer today to install the Mopar Big Brake Kit - new front and rear rotors, calipers and brake lines!!!

Mounted Hi-lift Jack, Fiskar Axe and Krazy Beaver Shovel to bed with EAG hood jack mount and Dominion Off Road axe and shovel bracket. Mounted hood brackets with rivet nuts to the bed.

Just going thru. I need a link. Thanks.

Ok, so I don't know if I qualify to post here yet. I don't have my Gladiator yet, but I did get parts! I bought a Rancho adjustable track bar from Quadratec and a Synergy brace. Still waiting for the brace.
Today my wheels came! They are the Tactik (Quadratec) T-742.

Of course it counts. The waiting for the JT is the hard part.

Looks great, what was the cost of the ceramic coating if you dont mind me asking?!

I’ve had my last 4 vehicles ceramic coated. I’m a fan. Got my glad done last week and it looks great. Unreal what a little paint correction does. Looks awesome!

I had the headliners, grip handles, cup holder inserts, door sill inserts and tire letters well before I actually GOT the truck! It's all good (and that wait is a killer!)

They look real good cleaned up. They do get dusty, which I think may make them look faded. But they've held up nicely so far.......about 8 months in.
