What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[RubiNewbCB]

First long road trip. 1000 miles in two days. We were really impressed how comfortable it was. Hit a snowstorm on the way, and it handled it quite well.

Thought I could fill up with gas for $0.29/gal but it was closed . . .

On the down side, got a rock hit at 75MPH. New windshield will be needed. Gladiator duck was not harmed. Any opinions on Safelite vs going thru local Jeep dealer would be appreciated . . .

This time last year I replaced my Gorilla Glass at the local Dealer and it was 1300$. Fortunately USAA covered it and I only had to cover my low deductible.

I'm long overdue for another windshield replacement now, it's been cracked since July or August and it's in 3 pieces now. Life got in the way.

Love the ingenuity. Good job saving your back. Wish I was closer to assist.

A bit nuts, but a fun story with the kids. They helped me assemble it and learned some basic fastener rules. They’ll never forget the day they helped dad assemble a crane in the house.

I added a warn drill power pullz all yesterday. The ratcheting chain hoist was really slow. Effective, but slow.

Yes, ladies and Gentlemen, the Jersey Devils are still safely kept in their cage. Nothing to see here, move along.

If you go through Safelite, be sure to request the Jeep Easter egg windshield, or you'll get the standard one, ask me how I know.

The "standard" one is just their house brand. If it's an insurance claim I doubt they will provide a actual Jeep windshield. I went through a different provider and they happened to have one laying around otherwise I would of gotten a PGW windshield.

I was thinking of getting the little T-Rex decal and a gladiator decal and put them in the corner anyway and call it good.

Looks like someone maybe into BDSM. What's your safe word?

That fuel station is pretty neat.

I don't know about Safelite.
I used an independent installer for both our windshields. I requested OE glass and he obliged. Took a little longer to get the glass vs aftermarket, but it was no big deal.

Did my best impression of an ice road trucker.

Last time on this road, the water crossings were so deep we had to go slow and careful. This time, I just rode the ice like a freeway.

…. Be careful going thru mud holes that you could potentially break thru the ice….or don’t go thru a hole that already has big chunks of ice in it.

Big Ice chunks can be awfully damaging….

Back in my wheelin days…. We had a guy go thru a mud hole with ice chunks. A piece of ice got underneath his front bumper and put a hole in the radiator.

I did donuts in the local parking lot.

I'm lying, I did nothing with my JT today. I'm enjoying 75° days by the side of the pool in January without a bit of snow.
