What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[PacificWander]

I bought an overland 1 week ago and this is my progress so far:

- Launch edition black wheels w/wild peaks
-swap upgrade for rubicon suspension + fox shocks(wayyyy better handling)
-1.5” terraflex kit
- blacked out grille and bumper bezels(formerly silver/billet)
- tint-70 front, 40 drivers, 35 on top of factory tint on all 3 rear windows



before then after (muddy pic before suspension install)

Had some vinyl thrown on to break up the gg a bit. I think it still needs a little more black. Probably gonna plasti dip the grille.

There were some imperfections the installer is going to fix, but I’m diggin the overall look.

What sized tire is that? It looks like a 33, but wasn’t sure if they were 265/70/18s or 285/75/18s. I took have an Overland that I purchased last week, and I hate the look of these all seasons. Yours looks really good with those tires. I hate bfg a/ts from previous experience, but that look is tempting.

Thanks. They are 275/70/18. I’ve had them for a week and am very happy with them so far. They seemed to have toned down the “wandering” issue that so many talk about. I’m not sure if it’s the slightly wider tire or what. Even at freeway speeds, I don’t hear the tires at all. Also drove past a couple speed detector signs and My speedometer seems to be right on when going 50 mph.

Thank you! What load rating are they? I’ve been trying to stay away for the E load tires because they’re so heavy and will effect the mpg and ride a lot more than just going up a tire size or two.

I’m pretty sure they are E. I’ve heard a few people say they don’t like E’s. I’ve not had much experience with off road tires, but I can say these are not loud and the fuel economy appears to be the same. Crappy. Lol.

I’ll double check tomorrow and confirm what rating they are.

Had spray in bed liner done by Scorpian in Largo yesterday. Also added Rubicon wheels today. Shout out to Robert on this forum. Purchased the take off wheels and tires from him. Great to meet a fellow Gladiator owner and forum member.

Nice wheels and tires. I bet the owner of that hella yella JL is jealous

Just put my 3.5” JKS lift, upgraded Fox shocks, Westin WJ2 bumper, Smittybuilt X20 winch, 18” Fuel wheels, and 37” Toyo Open Country R/T tires!

Looks amazing!

What is the litebrite discount?

10% off. That saves $84.90 and then the $100 rebate that Bestop is offering on orders before 2/29/2020

How do you get the litbrite discount? Is that a local dealer thing or can anyone get it.

go into checkout and apply the discount code... Northridge4x4 has been doing this for years...

Codes I have used “wranglerforum” , “sharktank” , “litebrite”. To name a few.

also recently they had on their main page “president” for a code.

I have personally bought at the local shop in Denver and also online.

If you decide to plastic dip the grill I have the kit but decided to go a different route.
I’ll sell the unused kit for 1/2 the cost..
Just bought it 2 weeks ago..
