What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[RudeJeepin]

Life is digital anymore, i stopped carrying a wallet completely most of the time and never carry cash.

I still like having cash, even if it's only $20. It's fun to pay cash and watch the younger tellers make change. I don't usually do this if it's busy. Plus alot of the places around here charge a fee if it's under $5 or $10 and you use a card. I'm still resisting the digital wallet platform. Several of the local businesses I shop don't do it anyways.

Not to mention, Washington state only recognizes an original hard copy of your driver's license.

But there are definitely times I could see the advantages. Now if I could completely toss my keys and wallet and just carry my phone?!?!

WTF? You can’t park now?! I HATE HOA D BAGS.

My sister inlaw lived in a neighborhood where their RV (camper, trailer, motorhome, etc) had to be out of sight. Made it hard when her husband used an enclosed trailer for work. He usually left it at the jobsite during the week, when possible. A home, he had to back it in beside the garage and put a fake fence in front of it.
After a few years the HOA membership grew and the new members changed thing. It got a little better, but eventually they moved.

it is unreal,, plus i have to prove i have 2 vehicles in my garage and my camper doesn't count because it specifies motorized passenger vehicle. BTW, i don't have 2 vehicles in my garage. The Glady barely fits in my garage. HAHHA

I hate them so much.

Our previous house was that way. Had to dig a notch in a berm and drive the camping trailer into the back yard, which was not easy with the gladiator. It was our first and last real hoa. It kept getting worse. It wouldn’t have been long before they banned parking outside at all. And we had an undersized one car garage. I hope they all die miserable deaths.

I carry one for a few physical cards, but plastic so it easily fits in a front pocket. I only use my phone to pay if I’m using Apple Pay, but only if a business legitimately accepts Apple, since I get 2%. But mostly I use real cards.

Agree, no use for an HOA, which is why I bought enough property that I can’t see my neighbors.

My HOA only has two voting members, my wife and I, as the other members, deer, elk, moose, bear, cougars, turkeys, etc are all non-voting members…and meals if times get tough.

I think most HOAs would have a problem with my pistol and rifle range, but our two voting approved them, so we are good…

Loaded up the empty 50 and 20lb co2 bottles and got them exchanged. Goddamn I love me some crane.

So those two bottles should air up your tires for what, two, three decades?

Wednesday night, I ran a local trail with a friend who just finished installing a 4-foot lift on his JLU PHEV. Now he needs tires because the stock ones look like he's skipped leg day for a year.

One 50lb usually gets me a little over a year. But it’s cheaper to exchange one 50 than it is to fill 2 10lb. I obviously don’t take a steel 50lb with me. I use it to fill a 10lb 4+ times. One 10lb probably airs me up half a dozen times or more. But I lost count. Someone gave me the empty 20, so what the hell. I exchanged it with a full one while I was there. It’ll keep me from going to a backup compressor on longer trips.

I want pictures of a JT with a 4 foot lift.

Seeing this reminds me of when I used to work for a gas company and rolling these things around the warehouse, its definitely a unique technique once you get used to it haha!

It was the first time I used the crane to load it. I’ve done it by hand a few times and it’s horrible when they’re full. When it was empty it was easy and pretty balanced. But full it wanted to tip towards the base and it was s bit sketchy. I just ordered these to see how it helps out. I wasn’t willing to spend $500 on an industrial sling.

We had to roll these things full, but getting it into the truck we had to use 2 or more people. I wish we had a crane to load it, my back wouldn't be as bad as it is today. But then again being a Radiator Mechanic for a few years and working on these small lowered vehicles killed my back as well

We’ll see how those handles do for lifting. It’s fine duck walking them around. That’s easy. But lifting safely into a vehicle when a handtruck isn’t helpful, is no fun. I’ll let you know how these handles work. It was worth a try as they’ll be handy for getting a good grip anyway.
