BRIGHT WHITE Gladiator JT Club

[DocMcStuffins]

Looks great, what is the lift & tire specs?

The White Rabbit is right about the tires- 37 x 11.5. RC 2.5" and Daystar 0.75" spacer lifts for now, as well as 1.5" wheel spacers- Rock Krawler 4.5" long-arm lift should be shipping any day now, after a 6 month wait!!!

Honestly- I have no complaints with the spacer lift but still have the dreaded bottoming out issue common with the diesels, and want a little more clearance for rock crawling. Major rubbing on the inner control arms without spacers and OEM wheels so spacers went back on.

Tires are noisy is an understatement, and not suited to the terrain we have here in Cali. Swamper knock-offs are probably better for swamps . That being said- they have taken me farther than many other rigs in DEEP snow and BIG rocks, and were $1100 shipped to my door for 5. I just did a 5 tire rotation at about 3K miles and they are wearing pretty fast as expected.

Thanks for the review.

This is before stripping and painting the rings. Kept them bare polished aluminum with clear coat but wasn’t a fan of the bright ring. Now they’re black.

Finally…holy

Ordered in November

Wife’s new JL next to it!

Digging the heritage tan, but man am I going to need seat covers.

They arrived late on Saturday, no phone call, discovered them this morning on their lot.

Heading in Monday as soon as I can get there

Had the fronts off this weekend. Rears staying on for now since the little ones like riding in the Jeep.

Finally got a proper detail laid down on this one. Liking it so far, had it a week.

Well, I had 2 bright white Gladiators in the garage until tomorrow. Yesterday the wife woke up in the morning and said that if she knew I was going to get a Gladiator right after she got hers, she would have just got a Wrangler. My jaw dropped. I dared her to find one for a trade on her Overland. Well she did. So Friday we drop her white Overland off and pick up her new Wrangler (snazzle berry colored).


I am keeping the white Gladiator Rubicon though.....

Put some AEV Borahs on today. Didn't care for the zinc protection ring hardware, so I found some stainless steel black oxide coated button head bolts. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Here's mine.

When this pic was taken is this stock lift? Also are those mopar beadlock wheels.
