Hey! New member here. I recently bought a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon with the 3.6L and a 6 speed. I love it so far, but have not had much chance to test it out other than pulling a small camper for a few hundred miles. I’m looking to do some more challenging stuff or at least some long fire service rides soon. I probably am not gonna ask the wife to hold my beer while crawling up a rock face, but who really knows what the future will bring…

I like to deer and hog hunt, so that gets me to some isolated spots at times. I’m planning on a new front bumper and a winch, but I haven’t found one that will let me keep the factory LED’s and Rubicon front skid plate yet.

I’m also interested in finding one matching wheel to put my spare on so I can get it in the rotation.

Anyhow, I’m hoping to learn some good stuff while enjoying my new favorite toy.

Welcome to the forum!

If you ever decide to play around with lighting upgrades down the road, definitely check out what we’re working on over at Oracle Lighting, we’ve got a few options that pair really cleanly with the Gladiator platform. Always happy to help with questions or setups!

Thank you, I’ve already been looking into a few options and I believe you guys make a nice light to replace the reflector in my stock rear bumper. I’m not quite ready yet, but soon…

F_Book marketplace picked up a spare for the original alloys, and a set of 5 alloys off a 2023 (different guys) for 160$ total for all.
Just have to be patient and keep looking.

My plan is to have a more street oriented set for most of the year (which is 85% of my driving) and a set of aggressive RT/MT's for hunting season.

Glad you're with us. I got a bunch of family around Murphy.

Thank you Stoneknives. I’m in Bryson City. It’s pretty up here. I don’t do the Facebook, but I’ll have the wife conduct a search!
