What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Dilly’S Willy]

Well my grandmother slid into a ditch early yesterday morning, and called me for a tow out before calling AAA. I've posted some of the dash cam footage below. I didn't have the rearview camera installed so bear with me.

EDIT: I tried uploading directly to the forums, but after 30 minutes of "uploading" with no update, I just posted to YT and it took under 5 minutes. Anyone else have issues uploading a sub-200mb video to the foms?

BFG KO3s in 285/75/18

285/70/18s are hard to find. I know because that’s what I run. I’ve never seen 285/75/18s. Mine are 33.7”. What are those? 34.2 or so?

Looks great. I really like the look of gladiators with shells that match the non painted hard tops.

34.8. I found the tire size on here. Seems like a lot of manufacturers make them now. I was gonna go with 295/70/18 (34.3) but the KO3s were more than 10 weeks backordered. Costco got these to me in just a few days. But they were a bit more expensive than the 295s.

Had to ride my bike to the tire shop to pick up the truck with its new 40s and the old tires.

Also saw one of those cool Suzuki Jimny trucks at the shop too. It's front axle is so tiny and cute.

I love the SE, born and raised, but I do miss that about CO. When I lived on the west side of Colorado Springs I could literally be in the mtns in 5 min. My old house was the red dot

Pikes peak is such a fun drive up n down. Especially in the mustang :D

That’s got a pretty good wheel base it looks like. I remember having to lower a Suzuki down a descent so it wouldn’t go azz over tea kettle a few years back.

It was a lot more fun before they fully paved it.

It sounds weird, but I’ve done it so many times I didn’t really appreciate it anymore. I did it 2-3 times a year. Everyone someone visited, they wanted to drive up.

Reminds me of when I was dating a girl from Missouri. When different parts of her family came down to visit they always wanted to check out New Orleans for the first time.

I was always like Really don't care for the place

Took off a big load of trash bags, then put 100 miles on her going to evaluate an employee.

That’s the GA aquarium and all the centennial park stuff here. Its cool the first few times, but I hate crowd, finding parking in parking garages and traffic.
