Gladiator Spotted in Novi, Michigan possibly with Mopar lift, beadlock wheels and 37" tires

[MrKnowitall]

The question for me is, does he have a size 37 spare, and was he able to stick it underneath with a little modification or is it chillin in the bed or the garage ?

All the reports say 35's fit w/o mods. Haven't seen a picture of what it looks like down there. There's a muffler adjacent to the tire. That's easy to straight pipe. Limit is the distance between the track bar and the hitch/crossmember.

There are so e videos floating around on YouTube that show the spare tire underneath from many different angles. Looked to me like a 37 would take some major modifications if even possible.

I think if I were sporting 37s I would probably have on-board air at that point... and would carry a patch kit and just be prepared to fix my stuff as needed.

I will let you know I'm going to run 37's and plan A is getting it to fit underneath, plan B uhhhhh yeah will work that it out if we have to go there.

If I kept my spare tire a 35, and put 37 or even 40s on the other four wheels, and use the 35 as a spare only ... would there be an issue of riding with one 35inch tire for a few hours to get home or out of the trails if needed ?

Getting off the trail is fine- you need to run 2wd, unlocked, until traction needs force you to use 4wd. BUT- if your wheeling requires 40s, that's gonna suck. On the road, how far do you want to drive a jeep on 40's?

I'm thinking about doing the 2 inch Mopar lift myself. Anyone know if it effects the payload and towing capabilities?

Standard Sport/Sport S offering for the JL/JLU and now the JT. Definitely resembles the JK euro bumpers but they are putting them on domestic Jeep's as well.

Also it looks like the piece of the bumper between the main bumper and the fender (you know the part that makes it look like a eurobumper, hope I'm making sense) is separate and not permanently molded. I wonder if it will be removable?

Thanks. The black tape on wheel centers should throw everyone off...

This looks like the one spotted in Novi last week. It seems to be a Sport with a Mopar/Fox lift installed.

Looks great

Awesome truck. That one angle reminds me of the old 1950s Power Wagons.

Is that the standard Fox kit that comes on the JT?

Chances are good the size difference will trigger the ESP and other electronics due to the axle spinning at a much different rate.
