2nd time Jeep owner here. Picked up my Gladiator a couple of months ago and immediately put 35" BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM3's on it...

Nice JTR! How is the BFG MT 35x12.5 fitment, any rubbing at full turn, you running wheel spacers?

Thanks! No wheel spacers - don't need them!

I call them 35s, they are actually 315/70/17s. They measure within 0.1" of the 35x12.50r17s in diameter and are slightly wider tread-wise. I chose the 315s because they recommend a minimum 8" rim while the 35x12.50s recommend a minimum 8.5" rim. Since the upgraded factory Rubicon wheels are 7.5", I chose the 315s so I am only 0.5" less of the recommended rim width.

But no issues with rubbing at full lock. It was like the Rubicon was set up to run 35's from the factory (even the spare tire location under the bed is able to accommodate a 35" tire). And yes, I did go ahead and switch out the spare as well. My 5 BFG Mud-Terrain KM3s cost me $1,550 installed out-the-door. I sold my 5 factory Falken MTs(still had the knobbies on the tread) to a Wrangler owner on FB Marktplace for $750, so in the end I only spent $800 on the upgrade.

2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel
Anybody who ordered the EcoDiesel...What are the following:

Order Date:
Build Date:
Delivery Date:

Let's see who is expected to get theirs first, and see when the first person takes delivery....I have a feeling they aren't even starting to build them for another week, so hopefully the queue isn't too long and I can get mine before October

2020 Gladiator Overland
I picked up my ‘20 Overland on Saturday. Traded in my ‘19 JLUR to make It happen. despite the bumpers, skid plates, and rock rails on the JLUR, I wasn’t entirely comfortable beating the snot out of a $50k Jeep in the rocks. So I decided to get the JT for my day to day driving and find another toy for Offroad. Now I’m on the hunt for an old TJ to beat Offroad.

Picked the wife's new JT Rubicon a little over a week ago! Had them switch out the freedom top for the premium soft top. It's so easy to open it up but road noise is meh at highway speeds.

She's coming from a Q5 to this but she loves it so far. Within 24 hours of owning we've had multiple people say "Hey nice Jeep". Never had someone say "Hey nice Q5......"

So, I'm the new guy. My wife has always wanted a Wrangler and I gave in. We have a business that requires hauling of pallets of wood which we do with our F150. She also has to haul small pieces of wood so the Gladiator was the perfect Jeep for her. Problem is, I drove it a few times and I really like it.
Back to the dealership we go. We ended up ordering her a 2021 Wrangler (Snazzberry color) and I'm taking over the Gladiator. It's a red Sport S with some options.
First order of business is going to be putting some 285/75/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W Tires and adding a 2.5" lift in front and 2" in the rear. In time I would love to find a matching red hard top.
I also have to get rid of the ugly chrome running boards the dealer put on it and add some rock rails.
It will be my daily driver as my weekend fun car is a fully built iron block, procharged C6 Corvette.
Anywho, here is the mini firetruck.

Snazzberry would have been my choice had I ordered a '21. I ended up getting a great deal on a '20 in Firecracker Red (my 2nd choice) otherwise I would have ordered.
Congrats on the order and Enjoy the wait...

2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

I was planning on getting the new Bronco for the past year. I even reserved one, the day of the release. Then last week we got the "lets get a travel trailer" bug, and we bought one. Only thing was my current 4Runner of future Bronco couldn't pull it. Fortunately, the Gladiator can, and my wife loves it as much as I do. So, we are now part of the jeep family. Going to keep it pretty much stock, so I don't mess with my tow rating. Probably add a winch and some lights. I may get a rack for the back, so we can easily put our paddle boards on it. This is the only photo I have so far of it. My wife insisted we take a pic at the dealership, after we bought it.

Welcome to the Jeep family! Nice looking Rubicon! I'm also keeping my Gladiator mostly stock as the Rubicon is already very capable.

I would, however, suggest going ahead and upgrading your tires to 315/70r17s as the Rubicon sits perfectly on 35s (even the spare tire location was made to handle a 35" tire). I'm only suggesting the tire change because you can get good money for your stock MTs while they are new(still have the little rubber stubbies on the tread). I sold my 5 stock MT's for $750 and purchased BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM3s for $1,550 installed out-the-door. The tire upgrade ultimately cost me $800 for all 5. Just a thought.

P.S. The Rubicon should have come with 35s from the factory IMO.
