Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

It is tougher for me to get under the truck then it is to put in the bed. My main thought was the rocks and mud that get in that wheel underneath. If Jeep had put the Tire on the side like the 2005 Depiction of the Gladiator We wouldn't be havin this conversation!

I'd rather grovel in the dirt to put the hoist through the wheel than lift a 37" tire and wheel. I had a hell of a time doing that with my 35" tire and wheel on the back of my swingout on a 3.5" lift. I turn 50 this year and I'm starting to feel it. :D

Some people can't lift and some people can't crawl I guess. :D

Those of you running 37s should mention if they will fit in the spare location or not. Not all 37s are true so wondering which ones can get up under there.

I am running the Toyo Open Country and have the spare mounted underneath. If did require a little bending of the heat shield but it fits fully aired up.

Nice, I have 5.38's I just haven't had time to install them. I may just keep the 4.10's because it drives fine with them.

Have you installed the 5.38s? Any updates?

I love the silver rig man. I am curious of what gear you are running with that size tire?

I’m running 37/13.50R20 Milestar Patagonia MT Tires. I ordered the same tire but for the original stock 17” rim. Fit is tight but with some persuasion was able to get spare mounted underneath. Also lowered air pressure some, as well. Nonetheless, am carrying
the 37” Patagonia underneath.

So be careful I was able to get my Toyo Open Country MT, 37x13.5 underneath with a new exhaust (went with an AFE shorty dump exhaust) we took off the heat shield and it fit. That is until my first 5 tire rotation when we realized that at full articulation the tire was rubbing the rear suspension link, we caught it fast but even if it fits doesn't mean you should keep it there, check all of your clearances.

AND a 112lb tire/wheel in the mud isn't fun to pull from under the vehicle.
