What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

General wheel question for the forum. Are people replacing the steel rim under the bed when upsizing tires? Trying to understand if I should be budgeting for 4 or 5 rims. Thanks.

I picked up a used 18” rim for $50 with a tire at the same store I purchased the 4 new tires. So, all 5 rims are the same wheel size but my spare tire is slightly smaller. Ok for an emergency. I will keep an eye out for a tire that matches.

How much is invested in the bed slide? I’m thinking I can build something similar for $500 in materials. I also like the fire bottle mount. Info?

Fire extinguisher mount —> AMI Seat Back Fire Extinguisher Holder, Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator, Toyota Tacoma/4Runner, by Atomic Monkey Industries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R6P3PJZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gVs1Db194RTQS

The Bedside offers two models, one black and one aluminum. The black like mine was about $1,350 shipped and the aluminum is around $1,150.

Took delivery with MOPAR lift, Fuel wheels and 35” tires.

Next up, new front bumper and upper decker!

Any pictures of the after? Curious how they look as I’m thinking of doing the same on mine.

I have a full set (5) tires and rims not worth the hassle to me. If you have a rubi - not even a question

Added the mopar/fox 2.0 steering stabilizer

noticeable diff on the road. A lot less steering corrections

was very surprised in the lack of resistance in the factory unit

cost/link?

i like that side light. also I like your style, some parts name brand expensive, others not so much. i got the RC lights too. not as nice as Rigid, but the wallet likes it. Also saw the latest youtube video, only able to watch part of it so far, will finish tonight!

Installed a Bushwacker Stone Guard (Part No. 14093). Texture/finish match nicely with the fenders. Standard double sided tape, so no drilling or bolts required.

I work for a dealership. The mopar and the fox 2.0 are the same. Even though they charge more retail. Took me all of 15 min to swap out

Looks like it fits great, without any gaps. Thanks for the pic! I may have to get one of these

Thanks. Just to clarify, not a question for a Rubicon because of the higher lift? Was planning on 35’s with no addl lift on my Rubicon.

It was more to do with axles and lockers - which rubi has - Are you going to use steel wheel and a matching tire or just keep the stock spare - which would be usable but not optimal

Got it. I was questioning putting a 35 on the steel wheel instead of buying a 5th wheel, but really only if there would be good reason not to put a nice wheel under the bed since it would likely have a different offset.

I kept the factory steel rim for the spare.
