The Philistine thread - non-lifted Gladiators and not likely to be, either

92 mph to pass? How fast are the cars/trucks going that you are passing? ?????

Ha, they were only doing 60 or so, I just wanted to see what it would do!
And I was surprised how effortlessly it hit 90 and still felt like it had some more in it.

Kiddo looks like he’s having a blast. That’s what it’s all about. Most just want to sit behind a gaming console these days. ??

Oh he would if I let him. My kids don't have phones, tablets, etc. Internet only for school and monitored if they want to look something up. Video games 1 day a week for a couple hours. My kids will always choose the things they want to do rather than the things they should so I and my wife choose for them. (Step down off soap box.)

..... I may add a supercharger, but my 3.6 w/4:10’s hit 92mph easy on some two lane passing in some southern states!

When one attempts to pass a vehicle on a two lane road in the south, it is considered a challenge - and instant-on NASCAR mode is automatically engaged.

The only way to it not ending in a game of chicken is make sure you have a running start and catch them by surprise with a holeshot.

Those of you with stock Jeeps will have the ones we will all be looking for years down the road!!!

Any old Jeep still stick becomes a legend and very sought after.

End of the day. Have it your way and enjoy your Jeep and never care what others think of it. The opinions go both ways.

Be yourself and don't cave to pressure from anyone's options.

No lift Mojave with 35s.
PNW and haven’t found myself needing a lift for anything, clearance is practical for most obstacles.
Only thing I need is beadlocks for those deep snow days!

Seeing as how our Mojave’s are 2-3 over the sport stock, I don’t think this thread is thinking of us ?!

Before I say shit else, know I believe a vehicle is a personal choice. It needs to fit your life not mine. We’re all Jeepers ? for everybody. Run what ya brung and let’s enjoy together.

I chose the Mojave. I knew I would put a lot of money into building up a sport. And unless I was good, and lucky, I still doubt the performance would be superior to what Jeep can build. I wanted to hit the trails day one. I even got stopped by an old Jeeper so he could thumbs up my dealer plates on a crawl. It was only a moderate crawl, but it was day 5 of ownership, and my first time.

I have the 33 MT’s. If, between now and the time I wear their asses out, I find a trail I want to explore but can’t, then I’ll go 35’s. But if I’m not limited, ?‍? I may or may not.

I have about 4K on the odometer now, with about 100 SoCal Imperial Valley/Mexico Border off-road miles. It’s a well suited desert runner for pushing my own abilities. God knows I haven’t thrown anything at it that it can’t handle. I scraped a tiny bit once, merely a flesh wound!

So far, my Jeep be perfect, straight out the gate.

$200 for the rubi take offs. Got JKS disconnects. Adding a Terraflex spacer to the front to negate the tiny bit of rubbing I get while flexed. Running a 33 mud tire. I'll take my Philistine comments.

I think this is one of the best looking Gladiators on this site. Really like what you’ve done with it!

I'm a bit confused by the whole Philistine's label ?️. Wasn't Galiath a Philistine?! ?

Typically, Philistines are uncultured swine in today's society. Wear the label proudly !

 

[DocMike]

Thank you. High praise for sure. This is my first Jeep and I have learned quite a bit from the people on here.

Solid axle trucks are made to be lifted. If you’re never gonna lift your truck by a Honda ridgeline.

 

[Kevin_D]

...but for the life of me, I can’t figure out why people want front and rear lockers, a regear, a 3” lift and 37’s shoved under when they freely admit they’re only going to run fire roads or just to the mall...smh.

AMEN!

Just get some good cheap Rubi Take off tires and rims. Swap them out. That is what I did on mine for relatively good price. Also got some Rubi take off shocks I swapped out on mine. Eventually will move to 35's when I burn these tires up but no plans to lift for the forseeable future. I'll just have to be that oddball on the road (LOL). I sold my factory tires for $250 and bought 4 Rubi Tires and rims for $700. Will change the whole look of your truck just changing the tires and rims

Same here, the stock aluminum 5 spokes are the worst looking of the stock rims. I have the Rubi premium ones, black with the aluminum highlights and the red jeep.

If my stock gets me where I want to go, why would I spend money that only made it ride worse on road and didn't get me any further down the trail off road.
