hey, I ran 37s without a fender chop on my last gladiator, albeit I did have a rubicon. I think if you chop your fenders you would be good either way. You might need wheel spacers though

I had no issues with 4.5 inches of backspacing and 12.5 wide tires. It might get tight with 38s and 13.5 wide

I’d love too if I was close… I’m all the way up in western North Dakota and traveling to Colorado starting tomorrow morning. It’s close to a 700 mile journey… I haven’t been home for a month.

picked up a 12000LB badlands winch on Black Friday and got it installed that day. We did replace the steel cable with synthic line and also picked up an aluminum fairlead from 4WP. Also had to take off the spring mechanism from where I am pointing at in the picture in order for it to fit. It was going to be scratching paint on the grill and wasn’t needed with the new line. Then took the king out to Holcomb creek (black diamond rated trail) with a buddy. Didn’t have to use the winch luckily and the king did great. Barely even scratched the under body. Check it out, will post done drone vids tomorrow

Which winch plate are you using? Cause that’s way too close!
It was the winch plate that came with the bumper. I'm surprised it fit at all honestly, considering its a knockoff mopar bumper for half the price and it came with a bull bar and winch plate

Put on some stock sport wheels for fuel economy mode, as I am back to driving all over the county for work, and I don’t get reimbursed for gas. We took it up black mountain in Ramona. Then drove to Disneyland from San Diego and averaged over 30 mpg. Lastly I bought some inner fender liners and put them on to clean up the look a bit
