Had a TJ on 33s and still have a JK on 33s. My Mojave is on 35s and I've done everything I did in the other Jeeps - Difficult trails, but not stupid difficult. The Gladiator will scrape more underneath and especially the hitch. It will also takes a bit more finesse to make switchbacks and tight...
I replaced my original Wildpeak MTs at about 40K miles and gave them to a buddy. I think he may be able to get another 10-15k out of them. Your results may vary...
Did the first portion from Organ Pipe National Monument to Tule Well, then headed north to the Goldwater Military Range and checked out Little Baghdad. Great weekend!
That's about what I get when we tow from AZ to San Diego with 4.10s and 33s. The trailer is probably a few hundred pounds lighter, but pretty similar overall. I haven't towed with it since I added 35s, so we'll see how that goes.
Interesting. I didn't get that with mine. It does collect a lot of dust. Would a protectant help with that or make it worse? I've been assuming it would make it worse.
