My Rubicon has the MTs from the factory not the ATs, so fuel economy is already crap, but I hear you on the other points. I actually like my tires a lot, so when I upgrade, I might just get the same Falken Wildpeak MTs, only bigger. How do you like the ridge Grapplers?
My JTR also came from the factory with the Falken M/T's, and I was highly impressed with them. I tried to order them in 37's when I upgraded a few months ago, but I couldn't find them anywhere because they were backordered.
i like them a lot. They give a ton of traction in the rocks as well as mud and perform really well as low as 10 PSI. on-road noise not too bad and they look good too which is always a plus. they do hum over 80MPH if that’s important. I thought the 2 inch and 35s was enough for me as I was not planning to do “hard” stuff but turns out you end up on hard stuff much more often than you think and then you like it!!! I don’t mind scraping in general but at this rate it’s not going to be sustainable ha ha. getting same tires in 37s
what lift ?
Well I live about 8200ft up in Wyoming. So traveling through deep snow is my number one issue. Also drive at higher speeds on dirt-main reason I went with a Mojave over a Rubicon.Why did you get the Gladiator? It doesn't sound like you do "hardcore offroad" either. There are plenty of other midsize trucks that tow, haul and drive better on road. So why the Gladiator? Probably because it's a cool ass truckJust like lifts and big tires.
Well, around here, it's slow speeds and sharp rocks. Elevation isn't an issue at all here, nor is departure angle. I just don't want to break expensive bits on rough terrain. I want ground clearance and underside protection. 5-8 mph is about the maximum in the rough areas. I don't do any crawling, but sharp rocks sneak up on me in mud holes sometimes. I went with a Rubicon, because it was at the price I wanted for the options I wanted (except I wanted a soft top).
Truthfully the best comment ever.
