This is my first Jeep. I had no idea how much difference offset could make. I found my wheels for $250 each new on eBay and figured out after I bought them that they were probably cheap because of the offset.
I agree. If I put more miles on mine, I wouldn't be able to stand the -38 offset. I try to spray it off before pulling into my garage after driving in the rain.
I thought we escaped the urban sprawl. In 2017, after living in Nashville for 32 years, we moved to a small town 70 miles away from Nashville. Our town is about 70 miles from Nashville, 70 miles from Chattanooga, and 70 miles from Huntsville. When we moved here in 2017, we purchased our 4200...
The only property taxes I pay here in Tennessee are on real estate property, and mine is about $5200 a year. We pay 9% sales tax on vehicles when we buy them, then $35 a year to register them.
The 5.7 will be great for the Gladiator, as long as it's factory-installed. Buying it after the fact for $40k is not what the Gladiator needs. I'm sure there are some one percenters with nothing better to do with their money who will pay $40k to swap in a 5.7. Those guys will drive those trucks...
Yeah, I thought a lot about removing the Mojave stickers, but they don't look right with nothing there, and I'm not sure I could come up with anything else to replace them. Maybe "RENEGADE". Obviously I lack the creativity to come up with something on my own.
I have mine installed without lights. I had some extra bolts from a winch install kit and mounted them with no lights. They look a little silly empty, but they're ready to go. I may actually install some 2' LED whips in the top location, just for fun.
My tires only have 5k miles on them, and I'm already ready for them to need to be replaced. At 94 pounds each, they're the heaviest tires I've ever had on a vehicle. There's really no need for E rated tires on these trucks. I figure I'll have them a few more years though.
