Towed my Boston Whaler Dauntless 13 back to marina @ a mile away then gave the Gladiator a bath. I'll do interior tomorrow, Lots of sand from grandson's surfing expeditions.

Got home from work and immediately went to the Spenard Food Truck Carnival in Anchorage.

Decimated a Reindeer Dog with Kenai cheese topping from Yeti Dogs and then spotted a wild Cattywumpus and Gladys in the wild!

Good to have finally met you!

Welp! What did I do with the Gladiator this weekend.

I installed the AEV space kit and correction brackets. 3 hours on Friday evening, for the rear and 4 hours on the front Saturday morning.


Everything went well:

Destroyed a drill bit up. oh well
Axle shifted as I removed the control arms, that was a nervous shift:surprised:
Dropped the Torque Wrench on my face. :swear:

Poured rain as I'm under the Gladiator torquing.
so why not keep going pouring rain sweating dropping wrench on face hitting my head.

But it looks great and if you are questioning if you can do it yourself. yes, you can!

I wish I could say that hasn’t happened to me. Also a control arm, but it was the impact wrench. Parking lot of an Offroad park in AR a few years ago. Oops. Great job knocking that out. Looks great.

All these posts are showing how boring I am lately. I towed the trailer to the farm store and Home Depot to get hopefully the last of the fence supplies. Then unhooked the trailer in the yard near where I needed them, and got the JT stuck on the other side of the posts, cuz I’m dumb. :)

I think everyone of us at one time or another "painted ourselves into a corner", but you were man enough to admit it AND post proof. 👍

I moved the trailer with the tractor a bit later so I could get it out and put it in the garage. But it was funny to me at least. Not used to having to pay attention to where gates are.
