A few random pics of mine. Love this truck. Wish I could find a rubicon hood. That and a steel rear bumper are all that’s left on my list for now.

What does everyone run, tire pressure that is, on the Firestones when Highway driving? Obviously cold pressure you set them at before hitting the road and what do they warm up to for you?

I set mine around 37psi and they will run about 40psi on highway. I run 20psi on trail most of the time.
This is also subjective depending on your load… if you are all stock with no load you should run what the factory markings say. If you have steel bumpers, winch, overlanding rig, lift, etc, you can get tire marking chalk and adjust your psi to maintain the appropriate tread wear.
I have yet to experiment with this, but I am realizing - as I type this - that I should.

I started out using the factory recommended on the door sticker, then started playing around with 34, 36, etc....and although at 36 they seemed to ride better, I started seeing some strange wear on some of the tread lugs. I have a 12k winch and a custom bumper. So I went up to 40 cold and they seemed pretty good but rode kind of rough. Settled back to 38 like the factory says and they wear right and ride fine. I have used the Wave oil change/tire rotation options, and have one more left, after that I will rotate myself every approx. 8-10k miles. Im seeing 40-41 psi when holding steady 75 mph on the highway

My setup is stock… I put them at 40 and went on a 300 mile highway trip. They got to 43-44. I felt the manners on the road we’re much better. Even around town it’s been improved. I’ll have to keep an eye on the tread.

Willys, 2" BDS Lift (with adj front track bar) - Rubicon fender flares (highly recommended). I want to go with 37x12.50 Ridge grapplers (or trail grapplers) - but hearing mix feedback - I know i'll need to regear if i go with 37s (or 35s for that matter). Wondering what ya'll think ? It definitely looks like 37's would fit there no problem (especially after I installed the Rubicon fender flares).

I run 35" x 12.5" x 17" Kumho MT71 tires (77.89 lbs) on Dirty Life DT1 wheels (78.1 lbs). I have no issues with 3.73 gears and still have 8th gear.... In fact yesterday I hit 12.3 lL/100 (19 mpg) on my little road trip up north.Willys, 2" BDS Lift (with adj front track bar) - Rubicon fender flares (highly recommended).

Hi, I'm a new member and picked up my shiny new Gladi on September 3! I love it so far, but one question for all you Willys owners.
My truck had the front slush mats, but not the rear one - should it have been included? Thanks!

Put some wheel spacers on yesterday. Definitely a better stance now.

I would say yes as they're sold as a set.Hi, I'm a new member and picked up my shiny new Gladi on September 3! I love it so far, but one question for all you Willys owners.
