New Member and first time post on the forum. Spent the last week checking out everyone’s builds and am seeing a lot of sweet rides. Wife was good with me picking up another Jeep the other day and now I need some help answering a couple questions before I start buying parts.
1. Will 4.5 in back spacing work on the 17 in Black Rhino Armory wheels with 35s?
2 . Is the Tazer JL Mini the correct programmer for the Gladiator ?
3. Anybody running the Fox steering stabilizer and have a part number.
Any help would be appreciated.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the JT club.
To answer your questions, most of the 17" black rhino wheels have a -18 offset which will push 35s out about 3 inches more than your stock set up. So yes they will work but some folks don't like their tires sticking that much further out from under the fender flares.
Regarding the programmer, you can use either the Tazer JL Mini or the Tazer JL Lite. The mini just gives you more features.
I don't run the Fox steering stabilizer as I don't feel I need it so I'm of no help on this one but I'm sure someone else will offer their opinion.

Congratulations, looking very nice, indeed.

Anyone in the North California costal area looking for a JT, Sport Dodge/Jeep in Ft, Bragg just go in four new JT Spirt S models, one with Max tow, the rest with standar town, and one is a Gator color. If you are looking for a good deal on a JT, give them a call or go by — tell them Al sent you.
Cheers

I just traded my 2019 JLR in for a Gladiator Overland in Sting-Gray Thursday. I really loved my JLR, but the Gladiators just really are great looking vehicles! I really love this thing and a bonus is my wife likes it better than the JLR. It is a little easier for her to climb in, so I have to keep it at stock height, and it drives much smoother. So far I have ordered Duratrac tires (install next Saturday), Teraflex leveling kit, WeatherTech 3D floor liners, Bestop roll-up tonneau, and the Bedrug matt. I am looking at bumpers since I want to install a winch. I like the stock bumpers, but I am not a fan of plastic, and I don’t really want to use a winch plate on top of the plastic. I have find several rear bumbers I like, but all the front ones just don’t appeal to me. I want to keep more of the stock look on the bumber, so I think I may just need to find a Rubicon steel bumper. Anyways, only about 100 miles in and loving it.

Check out the new steel JT front bumper, slightly smaller than the Rubicon model, and can be used with a winch (see last post in this discussion):

Picked up my Gobi Rubicon on Monday. Night and day difference coming from a 2017 HR JKU. I have a MC GC 3.5" lift with Falcon 3.3 shocks on the JK and now Im deciding if I should do the same with this build or look into another brand like Rock Krawler. I plan to run 37" tires so at least that much has been decided on lol.

Ordered on Oct 25th, took delivery Nov 25th. Overland Firecracker Red. Love this Jeep. No problems so far, have 3400 miles on it, getting 17mpg. Other than a stubby antenna, Grab Handles, Tonnue cover, Mud Flaps & some decals, I put a set of Rubicon 17" wheels and tires on it. Daily Driver, haven't got off road yet but that'll come soon enough. Future add ons will be steel bumpers and a winch and the Tube doors will be here in a couple weeks.
