I am just starting out with a few things I think will be useful at first like 35's and some basic recovery gear since i will be seeing some snow in Dec. Might add some amber/yellow pilar lights becuase I have been in whiteout conditions and I understand they are more useful.
definately! looking forward to seeing the progression!

I posted in this thread back around 2019/2020-ish a little bit after I bought my first Gladiator. It was a Sport S Max Tow.
Well, I traded it in 2 weeks ago for another Sting Gray, this time a Mojave. Just lifted it with an Evo 2.5” lift, brought my wheels and 37” tires from the last Gladiator over to my new Mojave.

Wrapping up about 30K in driving and camping for 2023, and converted it back down to daily driver mode. Milage went from 20 to 24 mpg (diesel) with the rack and tent off and the hard top back on. Still loving the color. I just have to paint those wheel rings to match.

'22 Gladiator Willys - first forum post - my first Jeep, but I'm all in now! Limited mods so far - Bestop Sunrider & Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro yellow fog lights, as well as a few other small things. It's my daily driver, but we do get her out on the beach!

I have a near identical Gladiator. I did add a bumper and winch, spacer lifts and 33 in tires. Not a lot of money but does a lot to add capability without wrecking daily driving gas mileage and needing to regear etc... Congratulations and enjoy!!!

Thank you! Curious which spacers you went with? I'm considering them as well but waffling between the AEV ones (2" front and back to maintain the rake) and something that just levels the front end (like RC or Teraflex)...

Also - I see on one of your other posts that you did 1.25" wheel spacers? I was under the impression that any wheel spacer under 1.75" would require cutting the existing studs - what was your experience, and which product did you use?

AND - curious what cowl mounts and lights you've got!

Thanks!!!

where did you pick up the yellow fog light film? White fog lights are as useful as a screen door on a submarine. thx

The wheels on the Willy's are cut out in back and can handle the studs protruding. I went with .75 in. poly spacers from Xtreme Terrain I believe. I put two in the front and one in back. I went with cheaper lights and mounts from Amazon. The lights are Nilight I believe. They have worked flawlessly for almost 2 years. I don't remember the brand of wheel spacers. I just know that I didn't want to be any more out and I only found one that was 1.25. Hope you enjoy!

2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
Hi all. Traded in my boring 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and picked up a 2023 JTR in Sting Grey with a dealer installed Mopar Lift, Fox Stabilizer and some 35s.

The JGC was nice and pretty well equipped (Altitude 4x4) and I even lifted it with 2.5" RRO Lift and 33s, but something just felt off (same setup with my previous WK2 was MUCH smoother and more capable). I initially went in to look at a Mojave but left with this since it ticked all the boxes I wanted (Color, Tow, Leather, LEDs, Cold Weather, etc).

Only odd thing is the steering feels loose and constantly needs correction. Taking it back next week for an Alignment/inspection but other than that I love it!
