BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon

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.

Nice, 37’s. I’ve been going back and fort on 37/38’s. I’d like to stick with 12.50’s or narrower myself so I can’t wait to see how this build shapes up.

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 🤪
 
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.

Lift?
 
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 :)
 
Can't wait to see what it looks like with the 4.5 and 37's. This will help me decide on 37s with mine or spend the extra &500 and get 38's
