If you want to go full beadlock configuration, they do have one for that setup:

Here you go, it's not as bad as I was expecting. I'll be honest, the trim rings have not worn very well even though I ceramic coated them. They are a faded and splotchy gray now. And the lug holes are ridiculously small. Otherwise they are a good wheel for the price.
I get 14-15 around town in Charlotte with the 3.6, recently drove to Raleigh and back and got about 18-20, and that is on 37's with factory 4.10s (Rubicon trim). Both a hell of a lot better than my TRX I had at 9mpg lol, on premium fuel none the less. I didn't buy either for fuel savings, but it...
I ended up opting for the Goose Gear full delete to include the back wall because I have 6 large dogs and needed to maximize my space lol. I appreciate your attentive review of the SHW system, I almost went with them, but I didn't like the lost height having the drawers. Sounds like I dodged a...
My wife has a 2022 Wrangler JLU in Tuscadero, and I recently got my Gladiator because we liked hers so much, but wanted a little bit of a truck bed for some projects. We plan to set mine up for more of an overland style build, while hers will get more crawling set up.
I truly am glad you have had such good experience with them, I gave them 3 chances on the sales side and I am forever done with them. I'd walk before considering buying a car through them. And after the service debacle on a 100K truck, never again there also. I too agree about Lake Norman store...
Yeah stay on top of them, I won't let that dealership touch a bicycle I own at this point. They are the biggest bunch of jackasses I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with - both sales and service. Most recent debacle with them was that they extremely overfilled my TRX after it's first...
Like others have said, you mainly tell that there is some sort of hydrophobic coating by the way water and dirt/grime act when washing the vehicle. Whether that hyrdrophobic is a full ceramic or a 'lighter' coating is another story, and there isn't a surefire way to know that to my knowledge...
I got a steal on some essentially new KO2s in 37x12.50 so I am running them until I get my lift. They look good but will definitely rub if I go full stuff offroad.
Hey OP if you decide you want to fix/replace let me know, we just did a bumper swap on my wife's JL and I have spare bolts if you don't have to re-tap and change sizes. PM me an address and I'll gladly mail one or two to you.
Careful, this is the logic we used to acquire #'s 3, 4, and 5 lol! It ended up bringing more energy into the house somehow. Kidding of course, I wouldn't change it for the world, we were just surprised that our plan misfired lol.
Our 5 crazies. We are big into rescue and GSD/Husky breeds. Ages 12/8/2/3/10 estimated except the middle one, we actually know his birthdate and have AKC paperwork on him. They each have quite a unique story that doesn't necessarily start out nice, but we like to think it's progressed into...
Downsized from a TRX to the Gladiator this year. The TRX was fun, but looking at buying retirement property so no need for that kind of expense (.....proceeds to buy a Jeep, while my wife already has a Wrangler :CWL:) The TRX equity essentially paid for the Gladiator so I can't complain...
