What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

Changed my oil @ 5k, and emptied the catch can which was

1/4 fill. That was 6 months worth.

Hauled in 16 8x16 cinder blocks to build a base for my gravity fed drip irrigation for some trees out front. This is kind of a proof of concept thing at this point. Trash can as a reservoir tapped for a 3/8 spigot on the bottom, inverted lid to catch rainwater but now it just going to be used for a weekly hose fill. That runs to a sunrise waterer on 2 AA batteries and hopefully there’s enough gravity to feed the entire line of droppers into tree spikes. I figure if I water it every day at 20-30 minutes the ground will loosen up and these trees will have a chance to thrive. It’s a chore to water enough here dragging 100’ of hose out every evening. Can’t leave it out or the squirrels will gnaw it to get to the water inside.

On Topic: even with 16 blocks in there the bed didn’t sag at all. I’m fairly impressed even though this suspension is going the way of the dodo when I get enough funds in to change it up. I did feel the load a bit but nothing too crazy. Load was up near the bulkhead right over the axle because I are smart.

Edit to add picture. Sun crazed and forgot to add it earlier

Pleasantly surprised that Drummond Island added a new badge.

Guess they scrapped the old South Marble Head Loop

That’s how you do it. SMRT smart.
