The Philistine thread - non-lifted Gladiators and not likely to be, either

[ericism]

That looks awesome. Perfect size. No rubbing?

So far no rubbing and I drove fairly hard on the trail.

Willys with Rubicon shocks & springs helped to level a bit especially with putting on new bumper + winch ?.

Philistines unite!

My son-in-law keeps telling me how I need to lift our Mojave. I don't think so.... The Mojave is perfect for the type of off-roading we do. I have had zero issues with it. The suspension is great, the truck doesn't wander on the highway, gas mileage is acceptable. I read all the time on this forum about how people lift their Gladiators and put on bigger tires - then end up with lousy gas mileage, having steering issues, etc, etc.

I agree with this sentiment entirely. People just gotta have the 37's....37's are the shizzle....35's are for chumps and bed-wetting nancyboys. Really? You get one (1) more inch of clearance with 37's over 35's, Mr. Goodwrench.....knock yourself out.

Also, i just don't understand those people that absolutely must regear, just gotta do it....and openly admit they don't go offroad.

But would you rather have it and not need it, or need it and not have it?

:D

My b-i-l just got a new (used) full size pickup to tow a trailer. His itching desire is to put a 6" lift and 35s on it. It will never go "off road." I'm betting he's going to lift it anyway in a year or so. His money. Whatevs.

New wheels and tires installed today. Vision Se7en 18x9 with 295/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Sidewall says 34x11.50, I measured just shy of 33.5 installed height.
Completely changed the look of my JT.

I have no plans on lifting mine. The Mojave is fine. Now I’ve only had this one for a month, so it could change.

maybe some 35” tires when the stock ones wear out.

Being in the north and expecting stupid amounts of snow, I cannot imagine lifting my everyday Jeep. Plus my kids have a hard enough time climbing in as is ?

My wife complains each time getting into my truck (neither of us spring chickens and she has bad knees) so if I lifted mine I'd be in deep doo-doo. We take it everywhere - doesn't matter if it's a big trip or just to go eat Chinese buffet (her favorite). She likes the truck - other than getting in and out. She even drove it home from CO last month.
New A/T tires but they are the same diameter as the originals, just wider.

$200 for the rubi take offs. Got JKS disconnects. Adding a Terraflex spacer to the front to negate the tiny bit of rubbing I get while flexed. Running a 33 mud tire. I'll take my Philistine comments.

This guy’s been wondering where his truck went!

Nice look. No lift? No rubbing?

Thanks!

No lift, though I will be installing the Teraflex 1.5” level in the front. No rubbing on full left or right turn. I’d imagine the front would run the inner flare under full articulation.
The wheels are 18x9 with a +12 offset.
