Can Anyone Help Identify the Components on this Gladiator?

[Ashley Ashna]

Hello all,

I am not a current Gladiator owner but it is a purchase I am moving towards.

I have seen the following image come up a lot on google images but haven’t been able to find a picture with a description of the components that make this look so great.

I’d like to know the lift size, tire size, wheels, and offset info.

If anyone has any information on this pic or can identify the above components, it sure would be helpful.

Thanks so much and I look forward to learning from you all!

The front recovery hooks suggest it's NOT a Mojave. They'd be orange.

It's quite simple to change out hood and cowl between trim levels.

The tires appear to be 40's.

From the picture nothing else can found.

Wow, thanks Kevman, I appreciate the detail find on the hooks. Yes, the hood was my direction on it being a Mojave. I appreciate the thoughts on the tires. Is there something that gives that away to you? I zoomed in as much as I could on the tires but couldn’t see anything.
Thanks again.

These are 37's (my Rubi) and your picture fills the wheel wells more than mine.

Very nice!

A lot of people paint the orange hooks black, but, the bumper and grill are not from a Mojave, those tires and the lift means more then likely there is not much of the Mojave left other then frame. Mojave has different shocks than other trims.
So if they are selling a Mojave that is debadged , different front bumper, different grill ….why? Do you need the huge tires and lift and was it done right, a lot of people on 40” tires change out the axle housings to Dana 60 to handle the stress .
I am of the thought that your looking at a Sport with a Mojave hood, and that should give you pause to wonder why, and proceed with the purchase carefully and with someone really checking it out in person.
It might be an awesome Jeep or not….Jack

But its even more simpler to change the color of the hooks.

For most Mojave owners, that orange is a badge of honor, just like the red for the Rubi's.

I still stand by what I said. It's probably a Sport S with the wide axles, Mojave hood, Mojave/Rubicon high fender flares, and factory rock rails.

It's a good looking JT and it was done well, but I firmly believe it's not a Mojave. The only way to know for certain is to have the VIN.

Thanks for the reply jack. This isn’t one I am looking at purchasing. It’s just a picture I found online and am trying to identify what they did - size of tires, lift kit, wheel size and offset, so that I can begin to conceptualize what I want.

When I see this picture, it meets the aesthetics of what I would want. The only reason I thought it was a Moab was simply because of the hood but now understand that those parts could easily be changed out.

Pictures are hard to tell. Nothing to side compare. Angles.

These may be your wheels: https://www.kmcwheels.com/kmc-grenade-crawl-beadlock

If not, the wheels are almost certainly KMC.

Tires are probably 40s, maybe 38s. Probably 12.5.

Atleast 4.5 lift. Big thing to note is those are the high cut fender flares. That’s key. Without them the lift itself probably wouldn’t be able to run those tires without rubbing

Thank you! I did a quick search for high cut fender flairs for gladiator and nothing specific comes up that says high cut. Is there something I’m looking for that indicates that?

They’re the rubicon flares. However they come other models such as the Mojave, 24 Willys.

Dear Lord, I have a lot to learn!

I do think you’re spot on regarding the tire size and wheels. Searching the link you sent me, I found this pic and this one has 40s and looks pretty similar to the original pic I posted

Looking at the bright trim around the fog light area and the grill, I'm guessing it's an Overland.

Also should point out that the skid plate is from a Mojave.
