2.5 inch ReadyLift, Fuel 20 inch wheels, 35 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Ride is pretty smooth. To be honest the dealer I got it from has a custom shop and they already had this one built out. I was on the fence with 35’s vs. 37’s but glad it has the 35’s as I have not been disappointed and...
This is a little pricey, but I think I may have to order one. Easier than struggling to get the hard top off.

Thanks! Here are all the mods from the shop that did it. I added the safari doors and the bikini top for the summer.

Get a BAK Revolver X4s cover. I have one and I love it. It’s low profile, rolls up so you can use the entire bed and it’s secure. It’s a little pricey but worth it in my opinion.
If you have a garage you can fit the Gladiator in then go with the hard top and take it off during Summer. That is what I did. Doors off as well. The down side is if it rains I’m stuck or have to take my wife’s car, ha ha.
I was at the beach a few weeks back. I had the freedom panels off the front and no rain in the forecast. A storm blew in out of nowhere and soaked my truck. Had to pull the drain plugs and mop the water out of The back but it’s perfectly fine now.
Are you using the center console plug or the one in the dash (media plug)?
I ultimately had to start using the one in the dash as the center console plug wouldn’t work consistently.
Latest update. My iPhone updated to IOS 14.5.1. I did another 3 hour drive using the center console and I didn't have one issue. My issue seems to be totally software related. I will report back if it craps out again on me. At least the other plug is an option if the one in the console...
Drove for 3+ hours on Sunday and had the phone plugged into the dash via USB C. Didn’t have any issues.
Also, my iPhone just updated to IOS 14.5.1 so I will see if that helps with the center console at all.
At least I know the dash plugs works!
I took a few quick trips this afternoon and used the media plug in the dash. I used the USB C port and I didn't have any problems with it at all.
Will try it on a longer trip tomorrow.
Yeah, I’m using the center console. My Android phone works perfectly fine from that same port. It literally started the day I updated.
I’ll try the port in the dash and see if I have any better luck with those ones.
Thanks!
I have a 2021 Gladiator Sport with the 8.4 entertainment package. CarPlay worked fine until I updated my iPhone to IOS 14.5. Now it starts cutting out and eventually the Jeep won't recognize the phone any longer. This happens 3 or 4 times in a row and then it will usually stay connected...
