Dr. Charles Arant awesome! Share a pic when you can.

D Bold thanks for the feedback. Glad it was helpful!

I’m gonna buy a diesel overland gladiator when they arrive. Basically mirror the EVO gladiator except with a different front bumper. I just want the goodies the overland comes with minutes the overrated stock LEDs and safety features that the big lift and tires will block anyway. 4.5” lift will clear 40s with different genders. 4.88s + full delete and tune should have power where it needs to be be and boom my lifetime rig. Been out of the Jeep game since I sold my 02 TJ (in 07) on what were them monster truck sized 38s. I’m budgeting 25k for axles, roll cage, recovery + bumpers, delete + misc and all necessary overlanding gear. I’m so excited this is gonna be the longest 15 months haha

Thanks!

Justin Young what color did you order?

OFFROADJKU Yeah, there’s no real rubbing issue at this point. As I mentioned, I’ve got custom wheels coming, but I’m also going ro make some fender mods to see what kind of flex I can get out of it before lifting, then evaluate how much lift I need. Id like to keep that as minimal as possible.

Sorry for the slow reply. Just saw your comment. I used a Tazer for calibration & such.

RAMYSWAY thanks! Not a single issue. Love this truck!

Very minor at full turn/lock.

Probably depends mostly on how you’ll be using your JT and what you want from it, but yeah I loved my 37s and now my 38s (after lift).

@@campNcrawlR I use mine as my DD but will take it out camping, light trails, etc.... So maybe I am thinking 35's with a 2 inch AEV spacer?

I did eventually add a spacer up front when I went to bigger tires, but there was no lift whatsoever at the time of this video.

Those were on JK wheels. I've since switched to Method wheels and 38s.

Thanks man. The wheels I'm using now (without spacers) are from a JKU, so you're seeing wheel to hub. I'm not 100% certain, but think the backspacing on the stock JT wheels might be slightly more than these JKU wheels. As for winch, I'm running the Smittybilt X2O 12K, and the sunshade is the one from my JKU. I'll eventually get a new one, but this one is working well for now.

@@campNcrawlR thanks for the quick reply. I cant wait to see what comes next for you. Im patiently awaiting september so i can order the JTR in Gator with the 6spd manual. Is your winch powered on from the AUX. button cluster under the radio or some other inline switch?

@@GatorOverland I just mounted up the winch a few days ago while I finish out my bumper tweaks (video coming), so I haven't wired it up just yet. My plan is to use a relay with one of the in-dash aux buttons for cutoff. Gotta wire up my lights too, so hoping to knock all of that out in the next week.

@@campNcrawlR awesome! i look forward to seeing how that works out for you.

Unfortunately, we haven't had the chance yet to wheel it, so no disconnect yet. I'll definitely post some videos when we do.

No lift for mine yet. Waiting for Metalcloak to put out their gamechanger lift. Even then, I'm not 100% sure how much I'll lift, if any.

I was getting about 15.5 with the 35s and saw a slight increase with the 37s. I adjusted the speedo with the Tazer JL and everything shifts exactly as I feel it should. Been very pleased with it.

@@campNcrawlR How does the speedometer get recalibrated ?

@@eucunicyclesedona3751 I installed the Tazer JL to be able to make those modifications myself. The dealer can recalibrate also, if you'd rather.

I'm not running a spare under there, but a 35 will fit easily. Some 37s will fit with little or no modification. Anything larger will take some work.

A larger tire will always improve the approach, departure and breakover angles without any additional lift. What is lost is clearance to the vehicle, in steering lock (left, right) and in flex. When a lift is added then the approach, departure, breakover angles and clearance to vehicle parts (while flexing) are increased. Steering clearance are not increased, steering geometry is affected. An example; Replacing a 33 inch tire with a 37 inch tire will lift a vehicle 2 inches, with no lift, and reduce vertical flex clearance by 2 inches, and decrease the clearance of tire in lock left/right. Approach, departure and breakover angles improve If instead of bigger tires a 2 inch lift kit is installed, the vehicle is lifted 2 inches, approach, departure, breakover angles all improve and wheel well clearance also improves. If both the bigger tires and the two inch lift kit are installed then the vehicle is lifted a total of 4 inches breakover, approach, departure angles improve from both the lift and the tires. Clearance in the wheel well (vertically remains about the same). Rant over. Gladiator looks great with those tires and rims! I think a lift would only add to the fantastic look,

Approach, departure, and breakover are already improved with the 37s. Yes lift will help too, but 6” is by no means needed or required. It all depends on what your end goals/use are.

For now I'm still using the Spiderwebshade from my JKU

Nope. Stock wheel is a 17x9, and that's all it take for a 37x12.5R17 tire.

I'm sure it's affected some, but I'm nowhere near the max capacity yet.

Squidify you wouldn’t have to, but will probably want to. What gear are you currently running? 3.73?

Chris McLaughlin not yet. Will eventually, but it’s not at the top of the list.

I did, and it helped, but its still a little different from before. The re-gearing will make up for it.

JL's Jk Yeah, the pats are on national backorder, so I had to go another direction. Happy with the Ridge Graps though!

@@campNcrawlR I didn't like my Nittos. Get caked with mud and snow, and a lot heavier than the Milestar. My 37s weigh 72lbs

JL's Jk I’ve really enjoyed my other Nittos, so hopefully I’ll like these as much. Admittedly, I don’t deal with a lot of snow though.

@@campNcrawlR that's good then. I've also had trail grapplers, lined them better than ridge grapplers, best tire I've had were cooper PROS tho

@@campNcrawlR I drive a JKU, so weight is an important issue...not so much on your JT👍👍👍👍

At this time, we're not running a spare. Will add that when we upgrade the wheels.

@@campNcrawlR do you know if the 37s would fit under the truck?

@@YoungMoonShepherd I've seen some guys that say they fit, but I think it's such a tight fit that it depends on which brand tire, as they can vary a little bit in size.

@@campNcrawlR Thanks sir.

@Joshua Bullock The rail to rail dimension isn't the problem. Track bar to trailer hitch is. Mine measures 36.5" which means an aired down condition with 37's in most cases. Mine is a Launch Edition Rubicon.

4.10

That was the 3.6, the only powerplant available at that time.

@@campNcrawlR ahhhh.. new to the jeep game but very nice and watched your newer jt as well!!

@@dy1837 thank you! Welcome to the club. What Jeep are you rockin?

@@campNcrawlR i have a gladiator rubicon... honestly I don't keep my vehicles for very long but IF I end up keeping it for a while, I'll upgrade axles to dynatrac 60/80 and go with 37s or 40s.. planning on picking up a TRX so may just keep it stock lol.. not sure yet

David Henry, man I’m glad you came along to set me straight. I knew there had to be someone out there with more knowledge about my rig and my tires than I have.

@@campNcrawlR Lol
