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

[BLK HOLE]

Just ordered today -

Warn winch (10K), synthetic cable, winch cover, shackles, license plate mount, rigid fogs and a stubby bumper. Unfortunately the bumper is a 3-4mo lead time. But its worth it.

It is very sad. That "trail rated" badge with those stock tires is more or less a suggestion and not an assertion. With better tires I feel it is warranted.

I wheeled plenty in england with stock sport tires, smaller than those... it’ll get you surprisingly far. It made me a better driver

And for those times where the trail was just too rutted out... well that’s why you don’t wheel alone lol. Learned that lesson too

That is crazy! I went with 37s but mine came stock on 33s so it wasnt as night and day as yours! Yours looks great!

Yea...they really missed the mark on the stock tires. But, they do the same on the Wranglers so I don't know why I am surprised. All better now!

What bumper did you order?

Shrockworks, out of Houston. I have this exact same bumper (different color) on my JKUR.

How's yours running? We just broke the cherry on ours last weekend with our Woods Crew....everyone was impressed.

Best part: when asked about making an ice replenishment run, we just laughed and said "ARB, baby...".

Very slick piece of gear...and worth the cost of entry.

It’s great...I often have buyer’s remorse, and I haven’t experienced that yet. It’s awesome.

Tires! WildPeak 295/70/R17 on the stock sport S suspension. Rubi suspension next.

That looks 1000x better. It's amazing what a set of oversize mud tires can do to improve the aesthetics of a vehicle.

It's a Jeep...So....Yep. Just like hot-rodding a diesel. Tinker here and there, add this, replace this with something slightly bigger/better, sell the old parts to help fund the new parts.... It never ends, until your money does.

Me and the family bought the Gladiator.. and I joined this FORUM that I've been stalking for weeks! Kept the Wheels and Tires from my JK (315/70r17 BFG KO2's on AEV Pintler Wheels) and Picked up some Rubicon Shocks/Springs off Craigslist .. Will put them on with the Leveling Kit. So excited!

Please post pics of the tonneau. I'm stuck between this and Tyger for my budget build.

Wheels and Tires = DONE

Fuel Vector 17x9

I have the same color Galdiator and really like the wheel/tire combination - exactly what I'll be going for once ready to pull the trigger. Did you order online and get them installed locally? Also, 1.5" leveling kit int he front? Thanks!
