What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Rusty PW]

Not even driving it for the next couple of weeks

I just had my right hip replaced and am not allowed to drive for a while. That was just this past Wednesday (3/29) and I already miss going places in her

Welcome to the right hip replacement club. Had mine done 12/3/03 at the age of 47. Was back to work in 5 weeks at the power plant. Still have the same one. Avoid high impact activities like running and deep squats. Which type of surgery you have. The single long thigh cut or the 2, 4" cuts?

Went camping in glorious weather and woke up to a sandstorm. Once cleaned and showered (Jeep and me), explored the new 'old' port district in Doha.

I got the single long cut, anterior (front). Doctor said the incision was about as long as a pants pocket. Yeah, I don't run anymore as my knees cannot handle the pounding. I want to get back into bicycling though. I had purchased a couple of bikes (one for me, one for the Bride) to take with us when we go camping with our travel trailer so, hopefully I'll be able to pedal a bicycle soon.

I get to do this all over again in the late fall for my left hip...if it holds out that long...I have osteoarthritis...it's hereditary so, thanks, Mom and Grand mom

Beautiful skies! I bet the stars are incredible

Got my Double Black Offroad fender flares extensions installed yesterday-- Line-X'd for $100, rivet tool to install from Harbor Freight for $17...

Osteoarthritis is what got my right hip too. My left is fine. I got the 2, 4" cuts. One front, and one rear. The front one is in the crease of the groin. The rear one is just below the belt line. I got the Ti ball with the plastic cup replacement. Biking is a great for rehabbing. MT biking is what did the damage to mine. One too many falls on that side.

Got the Roofnest up and running at Blue Angel Campgrounds, Pensacola.

Did some wheeling. Did every obstacle forwards and backwards but one. High centered and no room to adjust line to climb it. Long boi being long...

Baja-ed down a hiking trail too, lmfao. Very tight...

 

[Lunentucker]

Hauled 140 bags of mulch.
Got the first 70 down and ready to go again in the morning.

The TeraFlex rear geometry brackets seemed to have had an unexpected positive influence on how the truck rides when towing. Had to check a couple of times and make sure I hadn't lost the trailer.

Spring seems to be in a big hurry this year.

We went sailing!
(Well the Jeep watched from shore.)
Forecast called for southerly winds so the plan was to put in at Gilbert Park in Mount Dora and sail an easy 30-45 min westerly beam reach (perpendicular to wind) to Waterfront Park in Tavares, (5.5mi) grab lunch, then sail back.
Actual conditions were more like SW to WSW so had to sail uphill in 15mph+.
I had always want to experiment with pinching (sailing closer to the wind direction than optimal) to see if straightening out the course would improve overall time but never had the patience or thought conditions would facilitate it.
The wind direction and my experiment made the first leg 1hr50 minutes instead of 45. (That's sailing) but lunch and the goose islands were that much tastier.
Pics are of a motorboat regatta right off Waterfront Park which was postponed due to high winds (wimps.)
The ride back was the initially expected 45 min but temps were dropping and it was a lil chilly.

A great day on the water.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''Nice. I have a Hobie Tandem Island as well.

Went to outer banks and found a stuck Tesla. The Jeep was willing to help!

Not topless, just a low cut showing off the goods!

Digging the freedom panels. It's a mullet-less T-top like experience.
