How’s the ride?
You’re using them more as intended with those bump stop extensions, I never tow so I actually thought of trying them without any..

So after having these wheels in the back of closet for over 3 months i finally decided to have them babies mounted up a week ago and i was so happy when i saw the truck pulling out when the tech was driving it and man oh man im happy about them,at first they were super ugly to me but they grew on me and i fell in love with them and yes they do stick out since its a -18 offset wheel

Wheel model: Black Rhino Axle -18 on stock tires

the bumps I intentionally hit today werr surprisingly nice. The rear didnt dip nearly as much and there wasn’t any harsh snap back on the rear end after the bump. Over all, initial impression, im impressed.
Also I dont feel them at all with regular road driving, at least not yet

37x12.5x17 BFG KO2 on Quadratec Morphic wheel 5.2in Backspace (+10mm Offset). Max Tow with Rubicon front springs and shocks. I put the wheels on a scale, they weigh 97.8 lbs mounted. Plenty of clearance lock to lock, I have AAL fender chop coming to give me some more fender clearance. Took it for a test drive around town and a quick highway drive, very happy! Most likely a lift soon but I haven’t decided on one yet.

Are any of you experiencing rattles in your dash? I've been working on the wind noises like the above post, but now my dash rattle noise has become more noticeable. Sounds like its above the radio somewhere...
I just got my 2021 willy's and I am starting to get a dash rattle. I think i have isolated it to the 2 sun visors. The screws holding the visor to the bar were loose and the mount has a lot of play. The pads that prevent contact between the visor and hardtop clip are too short. I went home depot and got some small clear cabinet door pads, and stuck them on there and that solved my rattle. Hope it helps! Best $4 spent!

Busy day today. I spray lined my front bumper, installed a Badlands Apex winch and mounted the front trail camera into the grill. I’ll connect it to the Uconnect tomorrow.

Man that looks great. How was the install process. Im so tempted to buy that bumper for my Max Tow when it’s winch time and I’m liking the Badlands

Man thats one sweet gladiator! I got the willy's and love those wheels but I need that wider width to get 35's to fit and not bust a bead on the trails! I just ordered the morphic wheels from quadratec Glad to finally see them on a gladiator! looks good!

The install wasn’t too bad. I took my time and it went together great.

I tried to install a Smittybilt XRC Gen3, but it was too big for my bumper and winch plate. I either needed a new winch or a new winch plate. It was cheaper to upgrade the winch! So I got a Warn EVO 10S.

What winch plate do you have? That looks like it puts the winch higher than my Maximus plate.
