What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Barnaby’sdad]

Yes, but with my luck the powder coat will peel off with it.

I’d slap a piece of black duct tap over it for now. Other than the logo, they look great.

When you get some time…hit it up with a hair dryer and see if you can loosen the adhesive enough for them to pull off. Might be able to do that without screwing up the finish on the doors.

Just go at it slow. As mentioned maybe some heat. But I would run a piece of fishing line or piece of dental floss behind it to remove the emblem and use some adhesive/sticker remover to remove the rest of the 3m tape. It shouldn't be any different from debadging or removing an emblem from a vehicle. Good luck.

Thanks, gonna take the heat gun and some floss to it.

Took the Gladiator (along with a Rivian) to Moab. This was one of the cool little optional steps we both did. The Diesel climbed right up. We were a little more careful with the Rivian but probably didn't need to be...

Interesting hauling day with the Gladiator. I spent it catching and relocating snakes. (Bullsnakes). Caught em, threw em in an ice chest and tossed it into the back of the gladiator. Hit a dirt road a few miles down the highway and let em loose. I know, I know. Even though they fake like being a rattler, they are good snakes and actually keep the rattlesnake (and rodent) population down. But they get into the house and scare the living $#@% out of us.....so.....it's relocation for them. (RS's are not so lucky) 5 so far....and counting. It's snake season.....

A little late. But I got my Frankenstein lift on over the weekend. Clayton 2.5" springs. The front are diesel. Teraflex geo brackets and reinforcing brackets. Core front track bar. Clayton rear track bar with the clearance bend. Teraflex rear track bar relocation bracket. JKS front adjustable spring seats with hydraulic bump stops. A word of caution on these. These by their selves will give you 2" of lift. Bilstein 5100 shocks. Clayton sway bar end links. Have Core front lower control arms coming to dial in the caster.

All measurements are taken at the bottom of the Rubi rail.
Before Front 16", Rear 18"
After Front 20.5", Rear 20.5".
I got more lift in the front then what I wanted. I don't want to raise the rear. Thinking of putting the Clayton Beta springs back in, and using the JKS adjusters to dial in my height.

Are the Clayton sway bar links in the front heim joints? I can't tell for sure if Rock Jock or Clayton links would be equivalent to the Rock Crawler No Limit links for half price..
Icon links look to be similar, trying to see if their length could work.

They are like tie rod ends on the front. But the one on the right side axle is a heim joint.
On the rear. Both frame mount is heim. Both sway bar are tie rod ends. You cut the threaded rod to whatever length you need. There is a chart that comes with it.

A week overdue, but just wrapped up the tint yesterday, washed her, and got some shots. AEV 2.5" Dualsport with Mickey Thompson Baja Legend EXP 315/70s. Love this rig.

Took about 2 ish hours.
