Yes, but that reduction in diameter is your tire traction patch, as the tire flattens to increase its ground contact, keep it perfectly round, and you loose most of your traction!

iOttie Phone Mount w/ Qi Wireless Charging like the wireless charging for my iphone used the following couple of items installed behind the dash so that I could hide the wires, oh yeah there is one for the wife and myself (gotta keep those phones charged
Does the Iottie work with CarPlay? i like the iOttie so you not always using the bottom connector, but wasn't aware if it works with Car Play

285 x .75 = mm of section width. X 2 is the total width section on both sides of wheel. Convert to inches is 16.7 inches, + wheel size, 18 is 34.6

33 is 285/75/17

/end training
Well, according to Nitto, they run just a smidge over 35

Rough country finally made the contoured drop step, ordered and installed. They have a slight drop and still maintain good clearance. They are slick.

odd question, how are these when you go to get out, wife is concerned it will get in the way of your leg and prefers a full step. I like the way these look the best, second would be rock hard angled down sliders which act as a step. let me know if the above does not makes sense

Had the new tires balanced correctly! So much better. Trimmed the air dams for the front, so the tires won’t rub anymore. Installed the tazer mini and got most of it programmed! A little hint it’s easier to remove the dash panel under the steering wheel. That is unless you’re a smaller person or very flexible, which I am neither! Really liking the gladiator!

My son and I installed the UpDown Air system for the JT. New Gen2 version is truly no-drill/bolt-on and very cool to have on the Gladiator. Went with the ARB Twin On-Board Compressor mounted under the passenger’s seat. Makes airing down, airing back up, and equalizing all tires so quick and easy.

Kudos to Ashlyn at Overland/UpDown Air for being extremely helpful and responsive.

Updating with pics as promised:
