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

[grandsrus]

last few months I've added the following
3.5" Metalcloak Gamechanger, awesome lift and support btw!!
37" Ridge Grapplers
front and rear diff covers
4.88 gears
Rock Slide steps
Added my own led strips for the steps
After dicking with shops that can't do my alignment right, or offroad shops that are incompetent I just made some rails and did my own.. Drives much better now.

What did you end up setting toe at?

Installed the second tow hook. It’s amazing they don’t come with two.

Installed Icon Rebound Pro Wheels and Artec front fender liners

Curious, where did you get the tires mounted. I'd imagine tire shops would have some difficulty trying to figure those things out since they are relatively new.

... and Friday they will determine what needs to be done for the leak. Curious to see what they recommend.

They will probably remove and re-seal the rear window. If there is water in your roof, make sure they make every attempt to drain it. It's easy to determine if you have water in there. Get in the back seat, grab the roof rails and start rocking the truck. If you hear any sloshing, then you have water IN the roof.

I had the leaking rear window. They re-sealed it (removed, cleaned and new seals) but couldn't get all the water out. I'll have my NEW roof in a couple of weeks.

In my case, I made it known that because we can get a week or two here where the temps are at 32 or below, that any water will freeze, expand, and crack the roof making it worse. Rationale worked for getting a new roof.

If they cannot get all the water out, INSIST, YELL, SCREAM, LAY ON THE GROUND AND THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM, that they replace the roof.

But, you're in GA so that might not be such an issue.

I assume they will do exactly as you described based on other owners here reporting their fix. Though some did get replacement tops, so interested to see.

Good point on freezing temps. We definitely get some well below freezing temps Jan - early March, so I'll ensure they document my concerns if the top isn't replaced.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and glad you were able to get your issue resolved.

Added the second tow hook to my Max Tow. I went the OEM route and used the Mojave insert vs. cutting. Dissembling the rear bumper is no joke but I managed to not break anything.

I also painted the hooks gator while I was in there.

I know this was posted a while ago, but I have a second tow hook and I’m looking how to add the second tow hook to mine. What’s this Mojave insert you’re referring to? I’d prefer a cleaner look vs just cutting the other side.

I figured it out. It’s a $50 piece that has the hole in it already for a cleaner look. I didn’t realize the Mojave had a plastic rear bumper.

I finally got around to adding the right side rear recovery hook.
For others adding a second hook, a few call outs.

I bought the right-side factory Part No.: 68355490AA
BEZEL-REAR BUMPER.
This Bezel has the cut out for the hook.

Come to find out, the Bezel doesn’t fit the non Rubicon bumper, the design is just a little off.
I ended up cutting out the current Bezel to match the one I bought.
I added edge trim to give it a finished look.

Also painted the left hook to match.
Picked up some paint that was pretty much a perfect match to the Red Hook.

What did you use

Nice work. What did you use for the edge trim?

Replaced my plastic bumper with the steel stubby and skid plate. Also installed the Mopar / Fox steering stabilizer.

Those stabilizers feel so much better

When I added the second hook to my Overland, I used these parts. The bezel was $5.

Thanks to another member for the idea!

I should have given credit where credit was due. I got the part number from this post by @Granite JT. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/adding-a-rear-tow-hook.27885/post-703402
