BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon
- Thread starter wayoflife
- Start date
Awesome wheels. But do you need beadlocks for stock tires.
Between all the snow and the trips we've been going on to get away from it, it's been difficult to find a time to give Bandit a good wash and sticker him up. Fortunately, the weather has been cooperating the last couple of days and so, here's why he looks like now.
38's are great and I've run them on JET and still run them on our 392 but really wanted to keep the spare in the factory location. Also, as you've mentioned, on a Trail Grappler, the 38 comes in a 13.50 and like you, I was wanting to stick with 12.50. Of course, this is to say nothing about how a 38 costs more than a 40

These tires should help Bandit become the true farm/utility vehicle he always wanted to be!
Been a while since I've had time to work on BANDIT and I think it's time to change that!! Here's a few shots of things to come
First, a reminder of what it looks like now.
And, what a set of bigger shoes will make it look like - or, sort of anyway
Here are a few shots of the size difference between the two.

Isn't this the Jeep that you promised would be used for chores like hauling, and so it was not going to be modified?

Ummm, I do recall saying that this truck would be used for chores and hauling but I don't believe I ever promised not to modify it. If anything, I'm pretty sure I said I did want to make it into something I could wheel and that was a big part of why we got it as a Rubicon. And really, I'd hardly consider 37's and a basic lift to clear them to be out of the norm for most people. But then, that's just me
YES
Or, did you mean what lift? If so, I guess I never posted up this pic from a while back.

Excited to see Bandit wearing his new shoes! I think 37s and 38s really look just about perfect on a JT as something to use on a daily basis.
