Hi! Ex-Bronco Customer saying hello. Placed my Gladiator order yesterday! What accessories should I start to think about?

Ahh, I was looking at 35s! Any recommendations for a good on-road 37? KO2's were going to be my choice for 35, hadn't considered the size up before.

I installed a Mopar lift and 35" BFG AT's. Took one look and swapped to 37" BFG AT's. If you go with BFG AT remember they run smaller so your 37's are closer to a 35. So if you go with another brand 35" it may look different. First pic is with 35's, second is 37's. Tires are hard to get so get what you want ordered ASAP or you may have to wait months or settle for what's in stock.

Okay wow, that looks fantastic. Nice work!

This post pushed me over the edge. 37s it is!

Why just a Rubicon? A Mojave or Max tow have 4.10 gears too.
37' on a diesel wouldn't call for a regear.

The Diesel option is fantastic but I'm a believer in rowing your own gears. Especially because I have a hard time envisioning the next generation to come with the stick shift.

The options for buying a stick pickup are so ridiculously small. But its a non-negotiable option for me, since my last vehicle was an automatic. As far as Mojave vs Rubicon, the Rubicon gear is closer to my use-case, and I've just always selfishly wanted one. Lots of old logging trails and muddy forest roads where I live.

Ah, well enjoy the 4.10 gears. Mojave would have fun flying down those roads...

I'm sure it would! But the locking front Diff was important to me.

I'm on the Bronco6 forum, almost 2 years now since pre-order and still no Bronco. More than happy with my Mojave, so much so that I decided to sh*t-can the Bronco.....

Are you running the Trail Hogs? I’ve had a set of 37s for about 800 miles now and so far hate them. I cannot get the rear end vibration when running 35-50mph to go away. Running them at 30psi andit helped a little bit good grief it’s annoying. Making me regret giving them a chance.

Nope. But here's further reading on them...

Congratulations on the Gladiator, OP! On tires, I’ve been VERY impressed with my 33” KO2’s On our High Altitude Diesel. Obviously they are louder and not as smooth as the minivan tires on 20” wheels they’ve temporarily replaced. We also lost about 2mpg on the Highway. They are more than livable and the off-road traction is very good. They are extremely good in the snow. I picked up a set of JLU Rubicon take-off wheels and tires to use as winter “shoes” on our HA and I couldn’t be happier! They are about 50% warn and they still kicked ass at the Badlands for the Jeep Academy.

Our ‘21 High Altitude Diesel at the Jeep Adventure Academy 2 weeks ago:

Same exact story! Reserved a Bronco 7/2020. Ford still hasn’t generated a VIN for it to this day. Nor were they be able to build it in 2021, nor will they in 2022 either. Ordered a Gobi Mojave this past Monday, and got a VIN in two days from Jeep.

Staying Pumped! jeep! jeep!

Yup 7/20 reserve for me too, still no VIN from Ford. All good, I'm going to cancel it anyways.
