  1. Best and cheapest front bumper

    100% . It's priced very competitive for a bumper made this well . I have purchased 2 now ( JT and JL ) I would have paid almost 2x for it without issue .
  2. Need advice from veteran Gladiator owners - thanks for your help

    It's a better value to start with a Rubicon first, than try to piece one together after the fact . Plus your warranty is intact also . Not saying what the op is trying to do is a bad idea . But if you want a 4:1 case , lockers at both ends and high line fenders ( oe or aftermarket ) start with...
  3. Bumper Analysis Paralysis! HELP!

    Hard to beat the fab Fours stubby . With or without hoop. It's strong , very well made and coated . It's a flat top so it looks good with or without a winch ( no giant hole ) . It's pretty light for what it is too. The price and availability is also pretty attractive. I have purchased and...
  4. Ordering some stuff tomorrow, any reason not to do steel rear bumper?

    I wouldn't overthink the payload too much. In a minor accident an aftermarket steel bumper may help . It will also transfer all the force to the frame which is not fantastic. Most folks run them for trail protection (very low speed) and clearance. The JTR rear is pretty damn decent with...
  5. My 2020 gladiator sucks !! Its in the shop more than I drive it ! Software issues , 6 times back to shop

    Never understood the goodbye rant posts ? Why not spare us all and just go away quietly .
  6. My 2020 gladiator sucks !! Its in the shop more than I drive it ! Software issues , 6 times back to shop

    I'm not any manufacturer's fanboy . I love my jeeps , but I have had a 100% trouble free experience with the Toyota Tacomas and land cruiser I have owned . We still have a 2000 taco with almost 300k and it runs like a swiss watch . My Gladiator is already on the second engine . Still love it .
  7. GECKO GREEN Gladiator Club

    So , I really don't care but it's fun to talk about . My Gecko turns heads everywhere . It's big and bright, and damn I love it's color . However it's a love hate thing with others . I get the general snarky comments about it being a gladiator , and then shit about the color . Young kids...
  8. Decisions: Tire Size for overlanding setup

    Ok , coming from 37s on 4.10 , then regeared . I would say if you live at elevation or with alot of hills , tow , ect . 4.10 and 35s will still leave you wanting deeper gears . However 35s would still work well enough to get by for a long while with the 4.10s . This leaves you a fair amount of...

  11. Michigan 38x13.50r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers

    I have a set of 4 38x13.50r17 Nitto Trail Grapplers up for sale . The tires have less than 3000 miles and zero damage , plugs or patches . All even flat wear , albeit very little . These tires are great ,I have no complaints . I went back to 37s for practical purposes on my build . Also included...
  12. Can we talk about 2 things ?

    I was referring loosely to a" jeep" truck in both time line and overall image . I realize they changed the "Gladiator " to the j truck 70s- 80s and there was the MJ also . But ya I really love that 60s iron . Thankfully they gave us what we have and not a rebranded ram 1500 .
  13. Bigger tires vs. re gearing?

    100% ! The only reasonable circumstances would be folks who do vs those that do not live at elevation . How much crap do you have pushing wind on the truck and what is your highway speed . But ya alot ignorant feedback running around . And none of the above will excuse a poor gearing scenario.
  14. Can we talk about 2 things ?

    Yes I am Advocating for the 2.0 with regard to the JL . I never said let's put it in a gladiator . I apologize if the context was not correctly conveyed . I also realize it could be confusing to folks on a Gladiator specific forum . Despite this I believe we are all here to learn from each other...
  15. Can we talk about 2 things ?

    I fully understand why the gladiator looks like it does . I'm disappointed that after 3 decade hiatus and the Gladiator name plate it doesn't look a bit different . I'm not advocating for the 2.0 in a Gladiator either , my statement was that people should not under estate the 2.0 especially...
  16. Can we talk about 2 things ?

    I should say the 3.6 has a more known history than the 2.0 in the states . The sample size all be it in different capacities is pretty broad in contrast to the 2.0 . I believe it's also pretty positive over it's current life span . Most folks believe this as a good thing as apposed to the "...
  17. 4" or 6" lift? This is my first Jeep, so many options.

    Here is what 38s and 4" front and 2"rear lift look like . Honestly I feel like it's at the limit of the average Joe's daily driveability. Certainly a tick beyond the tipping point of perfection that 37s offered on less lift . Really I probably netted less overall lift than stated due to added...
  18. Bigger tires vs. re gearing?

    Mine was about 15 ave or 16-17 hwy if I behave myself with 37x12.50r17 and 5.13s @ 70ish I have chopped fenders and a winch pushing wind also .
