Building Gladiator for Alaska

[wmwalker100]

So I am building up my stock Jeep Gladiator Sport S.
my wife had I have chosen the tent and rack.
I need help deciding wheels and tires.
we don’t want to put a lift kit on it because we are spending a lot of money.
Anyone have any recommendations if I can put 33 in snow tires on the truck with no rubbing.

Look for a set of rubicon take offs.

One thing to consider is durability and likelihood of getting a flat. There are some pretty remote areas up there.

I chose very heavy Nitto Trail Grapplers in large part because they are less likely to suffer a sidewall slice or puncture.

Rubicon comes with 2 tires.. All Terrain and Mud Terrain.. Look for the Mud..Both are load "C". Given the Alaska you might look for 285/75x17s in a load range "E".

That will be a cool trip. I would definitely look at E rated personally. I assume you have an Inreach or similar. Best not to need it though! ?
