What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Alabama Mud Machine]

I see you reload also lol. Always told myself I was gonna start reloading, but never did. Even keep my brass lol.

Just a little bit... I won't show the whole bench. But I can show a picture of the die sets... I do a lot of custom cartridge design and wildcatting, as well.

Been shooting guns since I was 2 years old. Dad would hold the gun and teach me how to aim and pull the trigger. I was always a natural crack-shot. Naturally the distances got farther and farther when even 100 yards with pistols and iron-sights became no real challenge. I still shoot everything at 100 yards (minimal distance) to this day, my pistols, revolvers, .22's, everything. I do basic patterning and load development at 100 yards, then tweak from there at distance.

Heck Yeah!!! Need the 300 Win Mag with my latest build. Been struggling with the price of match grade (Hornady ELD Match) and what it cost me to reload. Keep on Shootin'

Took it on a road trip to Robbinsville, NC

Last time we were at Tail of the Dragon, I took the wife's BMW 335XI all wheel drive. She was nervous the first couple runs, but the last few she was an Ace calling the turns. On the last run back, there were two dudes in a GrandPrix into a tree on a 180... we stopped but they already called a truck and seemed a bit embarrassed.... Great stretch of road. I keep wanting to get my Z4 3.0SI out there with a new set of tires...

Leave the dragon for the 2 wheelers. Done it a bunch.

This was a few years ago.

I have a Remington 700 5R Milspec 26" in .300WM, and it's little brother in .308 Win. I love the .308 Win, but not a fan of the .300 WInMag cartridge, as a whole. It's a good cartridge, but it has become a very "hipster" cartridge over the last decade with all the armchair "snipers" that use it "because the military does". I'm probably going to end up pulling the barrel and rechambering it to another .300 Ackley or maybe even punching it to .30 Nosler, but I'd have to set it back a couple thousandths since the neck/shoulder junction is shorter on the .30 Nosler than it is the .300WM. If I punched it to .300 Ackley it would not need to be trimmed, just punched forward with the finishing reamer.

lift? Tire size?

lift? Tire size?

2 inch mopar with 37" Milestar Patagonias on oem LE wheels with Synergy hub centric spacers. Aired down to 11psi all day.

I turtled once on old Tin Cup pass and had to winch over it. Dented/scratched my muffler.

It was a little bouncy all day but that's what you get with a compromise lift like the Mopar. Otherwise it did everything with ease.

Got the Kayaks out this weekend to make sure everything was in working order before a trip to the NC Outer Banks this week.

Today I got a ticket (on a beach! For going 25!) the very first time I took my Gladiator off-road. Think the sheriff was just jelly of my new ride. But alas made it to our Carova house and the ticket is only $50.
How’s a Jeep gonna give another Jeep a ticket?! That’s just wrong.

Mounted a Rebel Offroad full height bed rack. Built a platform for my.power box so i could have the outlets bedside. Also, made a mount to run my toolbox length wise. Ran some LED lights along the top of the rack for some good nightime tailgate beer sessions!
