Lot's of folks use that method. We've had ad nauseam level discussions about gearing on the JL forums. Anyways, Based on the experience of others, I'm running 35s on my JLU Sport with 3.45s and I don't have problems driving up mountains. I think you're fine with 35s at the current gearing. But...

Just compare the instagram post to the picture SKT posted. It's the exact same. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/hydro-blue-pearl-gladiator-jt-club.8887/page-25#post-327392 DAMN it looks so sweet..

4.10 is fine for 35s. Watch this if you're considering 37s.

It’s a hard call man. Just like the fender flairs, I think it looks good going either way.

That looks so good, and is so well thought out, that it's hard to believe it's a Rugged Ridge product.

What are you planning to do with your Gladiator? Your decision should be based on that.

Agreed. But that is so far from the norm that I agree with them that they need to retest. Just a couple things. They were driving 70mph. But, I know the course they're driving (I live in the area) and it's relatively flat. The towing mpg is still better than the Ford they tested.

Very interesting, though they admit they need a redo.

I honestly don't think the emissions will be an issue. FCA got their nose well bloodied for that and I'm certain we won't have a repeat. However, when it comes to reliability, you have a point.

I'm still on board with getting the diesel. I'm hoping I can order by the end of the year, but it's cool if I have to wait a bit longer. However, one thing that has my attention is the spy pic floating around of a Gladiator with a V8. A Hemi would cost less than a diesel and fit my needs. So...

I guarantee you they didn't lose a dime on the below invoice price. You paid $1400 for your options. Those have very high margins. They made money there. They also retired quota from the factory which goes to end of the month bonuses. As I said, there are multiple ways for them to make money. I...

Well done..

That number isn’t entirely accurate, it’s not only based on the avg paycheck but all other benefits for both existing employees and retirees. The starting salary is as low as $17 an hour. Also, there are plenty of skilled positions on the line as well. Not everyone just does repetitive tasks.

There is a lot of stuff from SEMA that has turned to vapor ware. The Rugged Ridge snorkel is just one example. AEV and Bestop are dragging their butts on getting to market as well.

I wonder how long until @TommyTFL gets his paws on one. :)

Could it be that the build site is referring to when they expect them to be on dealer lots?

No problem, I drink Coffee, and I know Things. So I feel obliged to share. ;)

A quality wrap job is cheaper than a quality paint job. Also, a wrap is reversible where paint isn't. A wrap can provide some protection from trail rash than paint (which is what gets scratched anyways).
