OK, I guess relatively speaking that is a gargantuan amount of poke lol.

I see you don't have mudflaps? I would imagine you get all kinds of crap all over the sides of the jeep?
Yeah, it turns into a disaster but I live in the desert so it’s not all that often I have to deal with it

Love the look of the rear. It’s different and stands out. I think they do look better with a lift and some bigger tires.

Where did you get the rear tail lights? Look much better than stock.

Yep. Took a week to get used to it, being used to the quiet factory exhaust. It’s really not loud, it is at start up until it idles down. It’s loud when you want it to be (WOT) and nice when you don’t. Pedal control is key! It’s a V6 sooo don’t think I will sound like a V8, it dose not. Nice exhaust note, not too Fast and Furious HaHa! The first time I started it up I almost felt I had made a mistake. Two and a half weeks in, really liking it. As time goes by I’m sure it will mellow more (hopefully not too much). Fit and finish second to none! Tips perfectly located on both sides evenly (just keep everything snug until adjusted, I have OCD, baaad). Was able to remove factory exhaust out the rear in one piece (remove spare and heat shield). 16 mm and a 13 mm socket deep well sockets all you need. Had to cut the clamp at the cat pipe too many heat cycles! Tips are easily removed for clearance.

I personally think wranglers are ugly too. But... I've had 3 of them and 1 gladiator. They are a beautiful, utilitarian kind of ugly. Also, I think they look much better with a set of all terrain tires or MT tires. I don't like the look with regular tread.
I gotta say that I think Jeeps are beautiful, just because of how different and utilitarian they are. The gladiator is jeep number 10 for me, I think.

They are the Oracle flush lights. I agree they look better and I came from the oem LEDs too.
Thanks for the info! Definitely on my short list.

It's the taillights that look worse than anything, especially the halogen stop signs. I've enjoyed my oracles for a year and a half. Programming with JSCAN coming from halogen has worked well for me.

Same. I need wider tires, or spacers. Lol. Just don't know if I should trust spacers or not.

Any other pics? I am researching the Gladiator as my next truck and I feel the 12.5' wide tires are just too big and will cause reliability issue later.

I didnt realize i had taken so many ass pics until this thread!! I added this trim piece to break up the color. This is the 1st one I've owned with the color matched fenders and it needed something...I think it makes a pretty good difference.
