I have had my Gladiator since august of 2019 and I love it. Finally got all the pieces to my lift kit and wheels in. The lift kit and new wheels make it look like a totally different truck and it is awesome. I went with a Rock Krawler 3" Pro-X no limits lift with 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers and Fuel Covert 17" wheels (not Covid's, nice catch EstoJTR). I did the lift myself with some technical assistance from a friend. I started a Friday evening and was done Sunday night. This thing is a beast now!

Just got it back from alignment shop. The Rock Krawler kit is amazing, needed almost no adjustments. Just a couple Toe adjustments for the wheels. The setup of their measurements to set the adjustable components to is amazing, drove straight right away and alignment confirms that. Also got the rear 4 link truss welded for extra security.

Red wheels with the red Rubicon accents look badass. Nice job :like: :beer:
I have my wife and buddy to thank for that. I was going with the titanium Icon compression wheels and they were delayed. My wife said I needed red to go with the red accents and gray would be too boring. I texted my buddy thinking he would say the gray and they both pushed me to the red wheels. Was best to listen to them, I love my jeep now more than when I got it last year.

Usually not a fan of red wheels, but these look great on your truck. Just the right amount of contrasting colors--nice job!

Looks like you have a fair amount of rake ... have you measured to see the difference between the front and rear heights ?? I have this same kit, but concerned that the rake is excessive. Thanks

I would love bigger tires and a lift. It’s so expensive, I wished I knew someone that could do the lift. I’ve dreamed of owning a Jeep and just got mine a week and a half ago. I’m learning!

Some can afford to do everything right away, I had to wait a year to save up after buying the Jeep and to figure out what exactly I wanted to do. There are a lot more options available now than last year. Depending on how high and what you want to do with it there are a lot of different price points. I wanted great on road and off-road performance. I researched for about 6 months. I did the lift kit myself with technical help from a friend that has done a lot of work on his Jeep. It took a couple days but I got it done. I love the Gladiator more now than when I bought it.

Absolutely PERFECT! I LOVE this setup. I was VERY close to doing the exact same thing with my Jeep, but ended up going with 20" Black Rhino Arsenal's. After seeing this, I almost wish I went the 17" red Coverts instead. That looks great man!

I love this thing now and it performs great. Was able to take it off-road this past weekend.

First Climb:


Steep descent, trailer hitch becomes skid plate:


Toughest climb I put the JT through:

That damage on driver rear door and rear of the cab is not from off-roading. I got hit by a 10 point buck at 60mph.

I think right now all wheels are technically COVID wheels ;), but these are actually Fuel Covert's :beer:

HAHA, nice catch. Typed that so much lately it just comes out. I fixed it and gave you credit for it.
