The Gladiator looks like a girly truck without a lift and at least 35s.
Coming from someone who drives a Subaru Impreza & Honda CR-V, don't think you have much room to talk. :CWL:

Toyota Tundra (gone... Just totaled it 4/22/19) Now a 2018 Toyota 4Runner Limited, RX350 (Wife's) and soon a Gladiator LE
I'm with both of you - 35" on Rubi wheels for me, then consider the MOPAR lift later on if I need more break-over or simply for looks.
Thats what my plan is as well. I want the LE rims so I can only go up to 35's. I'll see how she looks without lift.

I don’t know why I have to own something to be able to have an opinion on the way it looks.
Nonetheless, I have eyeballs and my opinion is as stated.

What’s funny is you actually took the time, like you’re proud, to add those cars to your profile. Seriously, it’s going to be fun watching you get flamed every time you post negative comments about the “Gladiator” when you drive “girly man” cars. :LOL::like::giggle::jk:

It’s kind of a joke. Both my vehicles are utilitarian right now. The CR-V is actually my wife’s. She puts a ton of miles on her vehicle and doesn’t see a need to waste them on something expensive. My car sits in a parking lot at the airport most of its life. Both I paid cash for brand new.
I’ve owned expensive vehicles, over $100k in fact. My last “fun” vehicle was a Tesla P100D.
Currently, I don’t own a third vehicle and have largely decided on buying an Olive Drab Gladiator Rubicon in the fall when they come out. Hence, my presence here.
If we are penis swinging, I also have a class A license with tank and doubles and triples, and I’ve driven plenty. My current work vehicle is in excess of 200,000 pounds and speeds along at about 80% the speed of sound:) I own an airplane and a 60 foot boat. I kind of get a kick out of people judging me based on my little Impreza.

This still brings it all back to my original statement: The Gladiator looks a little girly without 35s. I’ll expand...The tires look a little too small for the truck in stock form...to me. How about this with a positive spin: I think there is drastic improvement in the looks of the Gladiator with bigger tires and perhaps a lift. Better? No feelings hurt by saying “girly”:)

I’ve always had some sort of pickup truck for that very reason. Then I got a trailer and put a hitch on the CR-V and I can haul a couple grand with it, which is enough for anything I need from Home Depot.

The sport S might look a little wimpy, but I think the stock rubicon looks way more BA than colorado, ranger, tacoma, ect stock.
Does it look better with 35s? yes.

I dunno the Tacoma is kind of fitting stock. Maybe I’m putting it too offensive. Let’s just say the Gladiator begs for bigger tires and it is so badass looking with them - again IMHO.

I ordered a Rubicon believing that as it comes from the factory it would be able to do everything I want and look good doing it.

Now with the OP showing the stock Rubi and then one with 35’s on it you have me rethinking my plan of action..

Going down the Jeep rabbit hole!

You might be subjected to even more flack if you owned twenty three Jeep's and a Jeep dealership!
