Post some pics of the 11.5's when you can. I bought somw 35x11.5 Toyo AT3's but they're sitting in the gargae figured my 10+ year old 285 70 17 BFG 10plys wpuld be worn put by now but forgot how light this rig is compared to the old 3/4 ton, so no point i wasting money,still trying to burn them out for now.

I will post pics once the sun comes up. Just had them installed yesterday and already noticing a slight uptick in mileage gains with the slightly narrower patch.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 35x11.5 (tread 8.7" wide v. stock 285/70 @ 9.6" wide) mounted on KMC Dirty Harry 8.5" wheels with +18mm offset so still has a little poke. Like them already!

Nice. I probly shouldn't have come back to look at the pics, it's been hard enough holding off most of the winter to put the new ones on. Any suspension mods?

Teraflex front 1.5” leveling kit and the 2-inch front shock extensions. The Rubicon has the higher front fenders allowing for a “no mod” increase to 35”s, but I didn’t like the nose down pitch attitude. Will probably go with a full lift kit and beafier springs with all this added weight (still have to add a WARN winch, skids and sliders).

Total Highjack.

Can you do a review post? I like that snorkel! I want one for dust more than anything but AEV's you have to cut the hood and that's always bugged me, AmFib's had issues with the ducts collapsing and the big box section at the cowl messes with cowl lights.

This one seems to solve those cutting and cowl issues.

Like I said dust is my big thing, but even then an accidental splash/wave stream crossing this looks like it would help a lot to.

I think I have posted in this thread, I run 35x11.5x17's. They are perfect on factory wheels and a 2" lift Max Tow.

None. I will post a review in the next few days.

I wish the intake scoop was removable, though, so a dust separator or pre-filter for dusty conditions.

Here's the narrow 35" Sticky Mickey's on Poison Spider last weekend. I was aired down to 15psi. It's pretty easy to see in this video how well they caterpillar over obstacles when aired down. Very grippy.

Pizza cutters look tailored to that section… nice work!

Bonus cred for doing that with a stick !

If I did it with the original clutch, I would have stalled it minimum 3x. The recall replacement clutch is 1M times better than the original. The tires are a perfect match for a Sport S build. Sticky Mickey's.

It is a bit odd Stellantis seems to have finally fixed the clutch… just in time to drop it from the Gladiator. That said, I don’t intend to be in the market for a new one; my ‘22 will likely outlast my ability to climb in one.

I love the Mickeys; had them on a Taco TRD Pro… best tire I’ve ever had (at everything)! I do wish they offered them in 255/80R17 (not in the works… I called MT and confirmed), as I don’t want to re-gear and I think the 255/85 is too tall for 4:10 + manual transmission. OTOH, I’m not a fan of the 285/70 (I’m fine with 33s but prefer skinnies) so I’m riding it out with the stock Falkens a bit longer before making a final decision.
