Sometimes I'm grateful I have a fairly low garage entry - as in my stock height just makes it under....keeps me from spending more money.

Finding a set of takeoff wheels and tires from a Rubicon or Mojave is cheap way to get 33s and nicer wheels. That's what I did.

Enjoy!

NICE pickup!

ChrisNLS nailed it. This is the fastest and most cost effective way I know of getting into good 33" tires! Tons of them out there. You'll probably find out that doing this and throwing in a 2" leveling kit up front will get you 90% of what you want right away without much sacrifice of $$$ and remember, every inch up in tire size and lift is MPGs down so make your decisions accordingly. It also makes for a pissed off short wife, I'm sure you can figure out I speak from personal experience, your mileage might vary.

Not trying to be a negative Nelly but light bars are NOISY (and again that pesky MPG robbing thingy) on the highway!!! I won't make that mistake again, but it is really good to have supplemental light when you intend to be nowhere near street lights after the sun goes down.

On this ride I decided to start much smaller but yet powerful and then I'll decide how much more I actually need if anything more at all. (Amazon Prime)

These are also from Amazon, are incredibly well built and work as advertised keeping gnarly stuff including rocks and other car doors away from your new baby. That also do NOT rob you of ANY clearance and they are super helpful if vertical challenged passengers like kids and wife are on the ticket to ride. Only $299 plus tax delivered to your door and easy to install yourself. with some basic tools.

Had them on my previous Gladiator and just bought a set for the new one.

Anyway have fun with your new toy!

A chainsaw will fix that in minutes...

Double edge sword. I prefer enablement from kindred souls, because for every approving nod you get will find someone else telling you you did it wrong because THEY don't like what you did, usually for no real reason at all.

You have been

You made it 0311.

Ya know. As I have gotten older I realize the only person's opinion that matters is mine.
Nice truck BTW.

 

[Bandit’s Lair]

I’ve said it before but, if they ain’t paying ya or screwing ya their opinion doesn’t matter. Something to keep in the tool box for future use.

The Snorkle might be a necessity down her in louisiana. Beautiful jeep!
BTW Black wasnt my fist choice in colors but the next trim package up was over $3k more. Honestly i was kinda shocked at prices. I traded in my 2009 Tacoma it was pushing 300k miles so i figured it was time. Anyway ive kind of fallen in love with the black!

Here’s the Hooke steps/rock guards

These are them on my old ‘22 Overland

You can also see the light bar that I learned to hate with a passion…

This is the new 300 W light bar. It’s small, it’s very inexpensive @ $28 and it works well. I’ve had Nilight stuff before and it works well above their pay grade.
