Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

man that took me forever but looked at every rig on here for 77 pages! Whewww! Lot's and lot's of amazing looking Gladiators. I'm SOOOO torn now between the Black Rhino Armory's and the Mopar Beadlocks. I REALLY REALLY wish the Armory's came in a 8.5 or 9 with a single digit negative offset, of the Mopar's came in 18's. Either would be absolute perfection. If the stockers were a bit more aggressive they would be top 3 as well. *sigh* I need to make a decision by tomorrow afternoon so I can get these ordered.

My other dilemma is I really want 37's on my ecodiesel, but I don't want to go through having to regear.

Moving from a 2.0 JLUR on 37’s to a diesel JTRD on 37’s, I can share that it’s a night and day difference. Still has some great get up and go and averaging low 22-24 mpg at 70-75mph. All while still having tons of fun.

Set up is Black Rhino Riot’s wrapped in 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/Ts.

My diesel is on 37's and I really don't see any need to regear. I'm averaging 23 in the winter, 24 in the summer. No problem maintaining 8th on highway at 75, hills it drops to 7th like it should. Plenty of torque for acceleration, and in 4low on obstacles it idles up a surprising amount of things without using any gas at all.

To me at least, it seems like re-gearing wouldn't be a good use of a couple thousand dollars.

Absolutely zero need to regear the diesel for 37s.

Love the look of your Gladiator! What size lift and tire size did you go with?

Thanks, I installed the mopar 2” lift and added a teraflex 1.5 leveling kit up front. The tires are 35” wild peaks MTs

One thing to think about on the Mopar bead locks is that the bead lock ring bolts do not appear to be countersunk. With them being exposed, any malformations due to rubbing or scraping will make it very difficult to get them out and may actually loosen them causing in the air leak.

I’ve also heard that some tires may not fit the mopar beadlocks because the bead is too thick and no one makes spacers for the lock ring.
