Hey y’all, just installed a new front bumper so have the stock version (sport) if someone wants it. Free….just need to pickup in Bentonville or Fayetteville. All parts there and you can use the bumper directions in reverse I suppose.
My buddy installed it in like 2 minutes.....and Holy Cow! I can't get over the difference; really is remarkable and frankly a bit startling. I might have to dial it down a wee bit!
So, I didn't like the rims as much as I thought I would and now considering these: I really like the rims, the tires are 'cooler' than the H/T's I have in same tire albeit mine are 17"
Will these mount pretty easily? Seems like they should but again, better to ask in advance. Obviously, the...
I may resort to that.....but a friend is out there trying right now. He's a bit shorter/smaller and way more mechanically-inclined although with this mod, not sure that bit is needed. Looks super easy if one can reach the bloody thing! ;)
So I got mine yesterday and went to install....how in the hell do y'all get down in there? I can't reach it at all. Granted, I have really wide shoulders but still....can't even get close. Did you take some of the plastic panels off below the dash?
Regretfully, I'm old and haven't any skinny...
Thanks. Not much snow here so should be good to go and yes, I was thinking of changing over to LED so appreciate the lead. How hard to change out? Clearly, I'm no mechanic!
Interesting; I did read through a good portion of that thread and you've got me thinking of just staying stock size now! Still, I want a nicer rim/tire and am now considering these....I figure for $500, this should be the ticket.

Found these as well....as I said, I really like my Falkens on the FJ.

I doubt I'll need 35's tbh and since I drive a lot to work/home, I don't want an appreciable loss of power, mpg, etc. I know I'm being petty but really just want something 'cooler' than the street tires on the Sport.
Found this locally......thoughts...
If I'm being honest, my Gladiator will never be 'wheeled' or whatever you call it. We go camping, hunting, kayaking where we will certainly be off pavement and gravel.....and occasionally some fairly deep mud where we put-in the kayaks but that's the extent of it. Still, it's a Jeep (my third...
OMG, that was so bloody funny! Needed that.....cheers! I'll check the install video and while I already bought it, that video would have put me over the top to buy too ;)
Thanks much for the install advice! Looking forward to getting it and putting it on. I asked them but how long did it take to receive the bumper? Did you purchase anything else from them?
Based on your recommendation, and the fact they are in Cleveland, I bought the Immortal F2. Glad to hear install is easy as I'm no mechanic! BTW, how did you get the color insert? I only saw white and no place to request something different. thanks!
