New to Gladiators, not to Jeeps though

[ChrisReyn]

Hello from Topeka Kanas!
Just a post to say HI, I recently traded my Ram2500 straight across for a 2022 Gladiator Rubicon with 40K miles, its all stock and in good shape. I mainly drive my CJ7, the Gladiator is for when I take the grandkids with me or weather prevents me from taking the CJ( rarely happens)
Planning a 4000 mile road trip from Kansas to Jasper ALberta next summer and will be taking the Rube on it.
Interested in any suggestions to make the Rube more roadworthy or fun. Going to 35" tires and getting a Tazer I''m aware of.

What tires are you running now? The Gladiator is already fun.

Ya, with a road trip that long I wouldn't go for 35's. Tire size will depend on what you want to do with it but the stock 33's should be more then fine.

Welcome from Massachusetts.

That sounds like a fantastic trip up to Jasper. My wife and I visited Banff National Park in the winter of 2023 and were absolutely stunned at the Canadian Rockies’ beauty. 5 days wasn’t nearly enough. I think I could spend a lifetime in those mountains.

We can’t wait to get back up there. It won’t be in the Jeep but someday perhaps. Post pics of your trip!

After our trip, it was easy for me to see why some old tribes associated mountains with gods & deities. It’s a lot to process in person, the scale is just insane.

The plan as of now is driving up to MooseJaw, then to Edmonton then to Jasper, take the icefield parkway to Yoho/Banff. Comeback across the border to Glacier NP , then Yosemite, Grand Tetons, down to Rocky Mountain NP and then home I am planning on 15 days for the whole trip, with my youngest daughter and her two girls tagging along.( 35, 13 and 6 respectively).. its gonna be interesting at least!

33's are very capable.
