Relocated and wired in the bumper lights,
and since I had a couple more, added the world's biggest Ditch lights...

Slight change of plans.
Instead of waiting years for the Black Rhino OD Abrams to arrive, I'm picking up @Kindafearless Method 606 20x10 wearing MAXXIS RAZR MT 35x12.5s
Jeep Gladiator JP's Super-Duper-DIESEL Gladiator v2.0 Build Thread 1621361797315


Hoping to get up there this weekend, throw them on and get back.

I figure I'll run the rest of this rubber down and then maybe powder coat them, or maybe not.
:jk:

JP's Roadtrip


Started Sat 05/22/2021 at 415p with 229 miles on the odometer cause that's always smart... :LOL:

51 Hours

5 states FL/GA/SC/NC/VA and back

1962 miles 38.47 mph avg; if I take out the 8 hours on Sat night and the 12 hours Sun night not driving, I avg'd 63.29 mph.

89.6 gallons of Diesel 21.9 mpg. Half w/the 31.5" OEMs and half with the 35"s

5 more wheels and tires than I started with... :like:

Ended Mon 05/24/2021 at 715p with 2191 on the Odometer.

time for beer... :beer:

How do you like the steering stabilizer? I got 35s put on mine and noticing a shimmy when I go 70+mph. Had the tires rebalanced and it’s still there.

So, it's funny you say that.
Driving up SUCKED! If I hit an expansion joint, or a pot hole just enough to unsettle the front at 70mph+, I'd get a Death Wobble that I'd have to slow down to under 40 to get to stop.
As soon as I put these 35s on, it totally stopped, I didn't have a wobble all the way home.
I don't know if it's the added weight, bigger contact patch, larger Diameter (slowing rotation), etc.
BUT IT WORKED!
