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

[Gren71]

I had some water sitting in the bases of my fog lights after a long trip with the snow. Spent some time disassembling the front end and trying to dry them out with a heat gun...they dried out eventually. While I was working my wife had ordered dinner and the door dash guy popped his head into the garage and asked if I needed help. Readers digest version hes apparently a mechanic and had an idea for a fix. So I went for it. Drilled a small hole in the base of the fog light housing to allow the water to drain of it settles in there again. we will see if it works!

Rokblokz on the front. I have them for the back, but didn't have time to install, and it was too cold. They stick back more than expected, but worth it because 98 percent of my tire is covered.

if you are talking OEM lights, that should not happen at all, it’s a warranty issue and they’ll replace them, it shouldn’t happen again, water intrusion is not typical on these whatsoever.

Got it Saturday but today I put rugged ridge door sills on because somehow in 2020 this isn't standard.... this jeep had everything I wanted and was bascially loaded but some strange way didn't have proximity key...so got that on order and got in line for those....

im %100 certain it was because of the aftermarket LEDs I put in. They likely didnt seal appropriately.

Great looking stance. What's your setup here? Tire size? Lift? Rubi suspension? Leveling kit? Type of spacers? Thanks!

Thanks! retained max tow rear coils but added a 3/4” (daystar) spacer to them. Rubicon fox shocks all around, rubicon coils up front with 1.5” (alloy) spacer. 35x12.50 r17 bfg MTs on stock rubicon wheels but recently added 1.5” wheel spacers.

Today I finished installing my front facing camera (with a rca switcher to switch between camera and Nintendo switch) and a fuse box in my interior to the ignition wire so I don’t need to keep running wires to the engine bay.

I added a second tow hook to my JT Sport. Made a template of the drivers side after removing the hook. Flipped the template, cut the hole and bolted the new hook on. Nice add until I figure which bumper I want.

Went out for a bike ride this morning. It was a nice sunny 60° at the end, I had to pop the freedom panels off.

What stubby bumper is that..

I took it to my dealer with the TSB and bulletin about the trailer brake controller in hand. They knew me from last time, asked if I had any information for them, and I handed them the papers. The tech and service writer looked it all over and said "we'll take care of it - do you want to wait?"
Yes,
And they did take care of it. Warranty, of course, no charge. I signed a paper saying they had done the work (so they could recover the rate listed) and they handed me the fob.
No more goofy dash display, no more disabled featured. Press the button and it works like it should.

I told them I had a box of part for the passive entry and was going to install everything when it either warmed up or I cleared a bay in my shop. I asked them if they would be willing to contact Jeep and have the passive entry sales code added to my VIN and then flash my truck so it would be in there as if factory. Yup, bring it back when you get the stuff installed, we should be able to add the sales code.

Any trailer brake controller issues - take your JT to Dewey in Ankeny, Iowa and tell them I sent you.

Installed the genuine Mopar metal bumper. I took the end caps off for now.

Installed the KBVoodoo/ Max Modular Bed rack w/ factory tonneau brackets.

Essentially makes my bed w/ tonneau cover a "trunk." I've traveled the states previously in a different truck with this setup. My tent goes on the rack, and the bed becomes secure storage for long distance.
