  1. What to do with tires

    Myself, as well as others, who end up getting a sport or sport S will often look on Craigslist or FB buy/sell/trade for local owners who have upgraded their rubicons with bigger tires and/or wheels for a discount priced upgrade to the smaller tires that come on the sport. What I’ve done in the...
  2. Wide vs Narrow Track Axles

    From what I am understanding (and I may be wrong), the sport or sport S w/ max tow package gets the same 44 wide axels as the rubicon version without the lockers. Overland and sport without the max tow package get a narrower Dana 44 set. Haven’t seen anything about spline counts or whatnot so...
  3. AEV turn key gladiator?

    Ive looked at that and wondered more than once if... (1) can those corner rock rails be bought and just bolt right onto a sport/Sport S (2) I also wonder how long it would take for a company like AEV to come up with a similar corner rock rail for the back of the truck bed that might be a little...
  4. AEV turn key gladiator?

    Im confused.... it says "rear bumper step extension".... where does it say "SIDE step"??

  6. Jeep sales report shows 70 Gladiators sold in February

    Im thinking they know production cost (parts and line time) but are still working out invoice and MSPR pricing. Point is, if they sell 40 trucks to marketing division for car shows and media test drives and they sell another 30 to movie houses for stunts (You know they tore a few up on Fast and...
  7. Maybe next time, Jeep

    Thats a nice truck!!! :like: Ive considered the same option myself. Don't care for several thing about the Chevy, not sure about the Ranger (Kinda wimpy look) but I was looking at a TRD Pro for 43K MSRP (Not sure how much discount I could get off of that by mentioning competition shopping). As...
  8. What questions would you ask someone who is currently "media reviewing" a JT?

    Heres a question.... Can they work with or unite with another "media tester" and put two gladiators side by side to compare dimensions, looks and capabilities of the two.... lets say a rubicon with its dana 44 wide axels next to a Sport S that has the Max tow package which comes with dana 44...
  9. Rubicon tires on Sport S?

    The waiting is going to kill me for sure (or the wife will when she gets really sick of me checking the jeep site and forum everyday for any pricing news) assuming they don't price it out of my budget, I will have one and the first thing I am going to do is shove a sheet of plywood in the back...
  10. Rubicon tires on Sport S?

    okay so i got a little long winded.. just trying to show there is more than a 1/8 inch difference between stock 245/75 tires and 285/70 rubicon tires... but.... some days I wish I could be a dog with nothing to do but stare at the dryer.... woof
  11. Dumb question

    I like the idea of having a backup camera again. My Jk does not and as mentioned above, It is a pain in the butt when hooking up the trailer trying to judge the distance to the tongue that you cannot see. Beyond that, A sad but true example of a camera's helpfulness.....stopped at the gas...
  12. Rubicon tires on Sport S?

    Actually pMetric tire size is (width in MM) / (sidewall as percentage of width) / (rim diameter) . So 285/70r17 is 285mm wide (11.22") x 70% of width (199.5mm or 7.854") and 245/75r17 is 245mm wide (9.645") x 75% of width (183.75mm or 7.233") and 255/75r17 is 255mm wide (10.04") x 75% of width...
  13. Educate Me On Wheels

    Also you can see in the pic of the stock rim on the scale; 25lbs, 17x7.5 size and 44.45 offset.
  14. Educate Me On Wheels

    Stock rim width and weight I have 2 aftermarket rims right now. 5 incubus rims and one American racing. The incubus rim is the ones I have my 35’s on. Bought four 35’s from a guy that bought a full sized truck with them on it and was selling to put less aggressive tires on the truck. They are...
  15. Educate Me On Wheels

    1- jk rims are 16x7.5 on base sport, 17x7.5 on sport S and rubi, and 18x7.5 on Sahara. I believe the JL follows suit. That 7.5” is inside of bead lip to inside of bead lip. 2- bolt pattern on newer jk’s and jl’s is 5 on 5 (or 5 on 127mm) older wranglers were 5 on 4.5 and other Jeep models...
  16. Class II receiver hitch

    NAILED IT!! my thought as well.... all the bumpers are the same (Except composite/steel cover differences per model) in that they ALL have a hole in the main bumper frame for "class II bumper hitch" ball mount. If you DONT buy tow package you get a plastic step top trim with a hole or punch out...
  17. JT Gladiator Media First Drive Event Happening Now

    Actually, from what Ive seen/read/heard the front end is the same (fenders, flares, hoods) HOWEVER, as far as the grill is concerned, if you look VERY VERY closely, the grille IS different. Same size perimeter but the slots are wider, strips in between the slots are a tiny bit thinner (for said...
  18. Gladiator bed box depth / height is 17.5" from floor to top of rail

    Got a few measurement pics of the bed at the St Louis Auto Show before they roped it off. Top of bed floor rib to top of bed wall is 17 1/2" (As stated previously). Top of wheel arch to top of bed is 10". Back of bed to back of wheel arch is 27". (I believe in Jays' post of specs it said...
