2025 Base Sport Anvil

[BigMike62]

Agreed. I recently added the new falcon, wild peak AT4 in 35x11.5 on my 2021 overland. I’m sure I’ve lost some miles per gallon versus when it was bone stock but the ride is so much smoother and better than any other tires I had.

35's with stock 3.73 gears? How's that working out?

Probably almost never seeing 8th gear if my guess. I briefly ran 35's on my 2021 WILLYS with 3.73 gears and hated it.

Below is a block diagram of what I did.

On your block diagram for aux battery delete, do you know if the wiring is the same for a 23 Gladiator?

It is the same 2020 through 2025.

Thanks! BTW the Anvil color is outstanding. I had a '14 JK 2 door sport in Anvil, but I sold it to buy the Gladiator.

Thanks. Wanted "41" but did not want to wait and Anvil was my next choice. Happy with it.

Hit 5K miles this week and decided to change out the rear diff factory fill. No chunks and in went Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-140. Generally not a Amsoil fanboy but my neighbor gifted me 4 quarts of the stuff due to retirement and upcoming move.

Measured off what was drained vs. fill to spill out fill plug hole and that was a extra 1/2 quart. Checked front and that took an extra 1/4 quart. For good measure, check transfer case and that was fine.

Weather warmed up and got around to installing the Rubicon Diesel springs and shocks I picked up awhile back.

Netted me about 1.5" of lift in the front and and 1" in the back. Halfway expect it to ride pretty stiff but was pleasantly surprised how smooth it rides. When I put on 33's (285/70/17) with the stock Sport suspension, it was stiff and jarring on some bumps in the road, but that is all gone with this setup now and shows how well properly tuned shocks and springs are when matched with the correct tire size.

I got the 2" receiver in from Quadratec on Saturday. Just need time and weather to get it installed.

Yeah, it is without tint. Kind of a niggle with me but not a deal breaker. The builder on Jeep.com kind of left it ambiguous giving me the impression they came deep tinted now with the new base model but that was not to be.

Post in marketplace that you want to swap cap for a tinted one, mentioning that everyone with a cap with tinted rear window has crap view out rear view mirror. I have an RSI cap and posted wanting a base cap with untinted window , Chris from here reached out saying he was looking to tint his, we both drove halfway met in a fast food parking lot an were done in about ten minutes and he had cash in his pocket!
View out the back is awesome!…..Jack

How the ride compare to sport springs. I have a set of rubicon diesel springs and Mojave springs I got in a trade for $200. I through the Mojave springs on and it gave me some heighbut more of a level. I just didn't want a bone crushing ride do still debating on the diesel springs. Feedback would be great!

I have no personal experience with the Mojave springs but given the ancillary comments of others, I would imagine they would be better than the diesel Rubicon springs.

I have no more input as to what I put on other than what I have said in that I think with the matched shocks, the ride is a lot better than the Sport springs. Feels well matched.

As with anything of this type, perception is subjective.

The company claims -3 to -6 db reduction and it is noticeable. Cuts down the wind noise a bit but it will never be like riding in a Lexus or similar luxury vehicle when it comes to interior noise levels.

Heat reduction is also noticeable. I am tall at 6'3" and my head notices that there is no longer that pocket of radiant heat permeating through the Freedom Top panels any more. I got just the basic liner option but the company does sell a radiant heat barrier option to use with these liners to reduce heat levels even more.

Thanks ya just wanted an idea I will probably switch them out this summer. It don't take long maybe worth a try.
