Because it’s a rubicon, the fender is a couple inches higher. Where the natural corner is in the flare matches the corner on the fender. And the corner is about 2” higher than a non rubicon fender.
Thanks! Been around a couple months, but until last week didn’t have anything to contribute till I finally got the gladiator. I love forums, and the info available and I hope to continue contributing for a long time.

Ok. Got the rear flares put on. Pretty straight forward process. Some have cut the flare to accommodate the different curve of the gladiator, some have heated it with a heat gun. I didn’t do either and just started at the bottom and worked my way around. I didn’t like where the factory holes...
The rivet gun is just a cheap one I found on Amazon. I didn’t try, but I almost bet you could use a regular rivet gun. I have a couple normal rivet guns here. I’ll try one today and see.
Here is the one I bought. It came with some rivets of various sizes, but I read that they are cheap. So I...
So I put the flaps on tonight, and the front flares on so far. I’ll put the backs on tomorrow. The flaps weren’t too bad to put on. And with the plastic rivets and gun, the flares went quick. Not sure how many times I’ll take the flaps off as they have thumbscrews to remove them easily if your...
So I took it back to the shop that mounted them, and he worked on it all day. Says it still has a shimmy at 105km/h. He can’t get it to balance. I believe he took the beads out, and used tape on weights. He thinks it’s the tire that is the problem. But I had these tires mounted on stock wheels...
Yeah. I was the same. Which flaps. You can get bogged down with so many options in every decision on every product you try buy. Most people complained about the price, but also said they were great flaps. So I just decided to bite the bullet and get them. I’ll install them this weekend and let...
I also got the hood strut kit from redline tuning. Super easy, and oh so needed. I installed the same one on my wife’s JLU.
Then, because I bought the vehicle out of province, and one that doesn’t require a front plate, I had to install the plate holder and then the new plates. Side note, my...
Hello all. Just picked up my white JT diesel on Friday. Wasn’t sure where to put an intro so this is as good a place as any I guess. I’ll use this as a place holder for future work.
This was the day after I brought it home. The dealer ordered it in April, and I happened to be looking on JEEPs...
It’s nothing serious what I’m doing. I could get away with stock tires pretty much. I also have the XR flares to go on yet so it may still grow on me.
We are heading to Utah this May, and I’d like to try a trail or 2 at Moab, so airing down there will likely be happening. I’ve never done that...
Yeah. I just wanted less poke, and I don’t go off-road in a way that needs me to air down. If I did air down often, I would keep the width.
My off roading is more muddy back roads and trails around lakes.
Took it for a drive. And….it shakes. The guy who mounted my tires spoke so highly of balancing beads, and I’ve never had them before. Disappointed. Not sure if maybe there’s not enough, too much, or what. I specifically asked for weights, and he said these would work. The tires are hard to...
Just got it home late last night. Finally!!
Tires installed today
Hood struts (which they should come with standard!)
License plate bracket (required in my province)
Short antenna
Don’t have a picture of it. Everyone knows what they look like anyway!
Just picked up my white diesel yesterday. It was a long process dealing with the dealer I used and the fuel pump issues, but finally got it. Very happy with it. Only thing I don’t like is the halogen headlights, which I’m changing out as soon as I can. I put the rough country LED lights in my...
Just picked up my gladiator yesterday. Has about 600kms in it now and had my tires and wheels ready in the garage.
Rocktrix 17x9 +12 offset. 35x12.50 duratracs
I also have the tan interior. Love it. And the wife wasn’t a fan of the red panels, so all are happy.
I am thinking of changing out the rubicon decals and the side keep ones with ones from a white 392 as they are also bronze.
Okay!!! It’s here! What a crazy ride with the dealer to get it in my driveway. I said I would post follow up pics. The poke is more than I would like. Eventually when these 12.5’s wear out, I will move to a skinnier 35”. Just got home last night with it, and started work on it this morning...
Mine is still at the dealer. I’ve been waiting for it to be ready. I called again today and they said it needed a new PCM. After reading here im guessing just a new flash. Truck was built in May, sat all this time, got the new fuel pump in October, then sat again. Had an engine light on, and...
