just sayin...

I know the feeling and as far as looks go they're right. Iv been looking for deals like crazy and are you going to go the bigger tire route soon? Have you found any deals? How much did discount want? Let see your wheels?

 

[TxGladiator]

Nah I just bought those Falkens 2 months ago so I will probably wait awhile if and when I do decide to go bigger.

Hey @TxGladiator nice looking step bars you got there. Can you please post some up close pictures of the steps? Like to see what the pad looks like. And what brand and model are they? Love to know. Thanks

Tires, an engineering concern as a final drive component.

Gearing in the differentials, transfer case, transmission, ignition and injection mapping, tow rating, load capacity, steering geometry, body clearances, all considered by the people and machines that engineered your new vehicle.

Skip at the tire store should stay in his lane and get to work doing his job. Re-engineering your vehicle isn't his job.

Exactly!

Here’s the link to where I purchased them from.

To be honest they aren’t what I wanted but I needed something quickly due to a family member was having a hard time getting in and out of the JT due to a health condition.
I am happy with them but they definitely have some nicer looking ones out and coming out soon.

Thanks for the link. Can you please send s better up close picture and the step pad? I really want to see if it says “N-Fab” on the steps. And does it say “N-Fab” on the bars? I would really like to have something that does not have the brand name shown anywhere. I just don’t like to be a rolling advertisement for anyone if I can help it.

I was this close to getting some 35" nitto Ridge grapplers and putting them on the stock LE wheels. I decided to wait until I saw the gladiator with the stock 33 wildpeaks and I'm glad I did. The stock rubicon tires look really good to me and will suit my needs just fine.

Now, that said, if another JT parked next to me with some sweet 35s or 37s, I may change my mind.

It does say NFab on the steps but you don’t see it unless you look straight down while walking by or using the step.
The actual sliders do say nfab as well but it’s in a location where you can’t see it.

I’m like you with the free advertising.
First thing I did before I drove off the dealer lot was take off the dealer decal on the back of my JT.

Thanks @TxGladiator. I really like the looks of the N-Fab Durastep. I just called them and they told me that the step pads on this one have yellow labels put on them and that I could peel them off if I wanted to. However they do not plan to make this step bar for the Gladiator. I may consider the one you got. That picture was helpful. Going to keep looking for something like the Durastep style.

Those black rhino wheels are gorgeous! Nice upgrade.

Agree. I'm going to roll with my stock 33 Falken MTs for awhile. When I feel the need for 35s I'll jump in my JL but for now I'm really pleased with my stock Rubicon set up.
