Daily Driving a Jeep Gladiator on 40s -20k mile review

[@williamh6547]

I have the same tires on my 2023 392 Extreme Recon JLU, never any issues, and i raise hell in this thing, only thing I would recommend is getting the Apex 2 1/2 ton steering kit, and the American Iron off-road BALL JOINT DELETE KIT, AMAZING products and you will never have to worry about replacing any of them again. As far as gas mileage goes, you got 5:13 gears which sounds right, im not sure what the factory tire size was or gear ratio was so i can't say for sure, one thing though that will definitely affect shift points, which affects gas milage is not properly measuring tire size, if you measured from the ground to top of tire that is DEFINITELY WRONG, the only way to measure correctly is from the CENTER of tour wheel to the ground, then times that by 2, and that is your rolling diameter, and what the computer sees, i know this as facts because of what I do for work. But just like anyone else you are entitled to do whatever you think is best, great video,👍👍👍

I mean honestly unless you are wheeling it crazy you don't need Upgraded axels I'm on 40s 55k miles 6 jeep trail badges later & still on dana 44s

[@ghernandez6457]

Yeah there are a lot more people doing this with their JLUR vs the JKUR. I just trussed my d44s and I am running Patagonias 38s and RCVs. Northridge 4x4 currently has an incredible deal for 40s plus you get a $200 giftcard. I don't run beadlocks and I regularly air down to 10psi no issues. I am glad your 40s and axles are still doing great!

reset your uconnect (hold the power and tune button) - will restart the entire uconnect system and get your carplay working again. Your steering needs an upgrade if your a 21 or older gladiator you should look intot he steel steering box they did as an upgrade on '22s and later if i recall this made a tremendous improvement - on 40s you need beef'd up steering components maybe an upgraded steering stabilizer as well - you do NOT need upgraded axles necessarily but I wouldn't go beyond 5.13's in gearing (which you must have) plenty of folks running the stock axles - trussed on 40s without issues (with hard wheeling). The stock axles are ALOT stronger than you think - these aren't dana44's from 20 years ago. Also look into high line fenders or deleting them (not sure what the laws are where you are at) if you can delete your fenders you will not likely have any issues with rubbing while flexed out on the trails - looks like your wheels have the backspacing you need already.

Looks great!

[@Lilmissjeepher]

Thank you!

[@JoseAmberLopez]

You should do a video wheeling it. I'd love to see that beast on the trail.

[@Lilmissjeepher]

Check out my channel! I have a few videos of me wheeling it in Moab!

[@TheBlue350ss]

Check the rear flex joints in the control arms, I had to tighten mine up and the clunk went away

[@TheBlue350ss]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqrMfHatn5WmiKM here’s a video on it

[@BilalMirxa-oj6de]

what a nice move to attract the audience but you were not wearing the camouflage pants

[@Lilmissjeepher]

Lol same pants just a different color

[@AlanTrades]

I get 13 with 37s, and 16 on the highway downhill

[@Lilmissjeepher]

damnnn did you regear?

[@AlanTrades]

@Maddie Cowell no what gears did you get? What brand?

[@JoshSheldon]

Mine started to rattle really bad too all a sudden; Jeep is going to cover it in warranty , and new panels are on the way

[@BlueOxDiesel]

Ok that noise in the back could be a few things a loose control arm,a loose trac bar,or it could be a worn out carrier bearing on your rear driveshaft all of those would need to get fixed asap! Your tires you should be rotating more often big tire require more attention rotate them like every 4k I know it’s a lot but big tires are not cheap

[@noneckjoe948]

My screen is doing the same thing… it occasionally turns everything on and gets stuck on… ac, heat, defrosters etc… and then the screen freezes and you can’t turn anything off…. Not even with the knobs…

[@JamesVonwiegen]

Jeep Jeep

[@noneckjoe948]

How are you expecting to wheel if hitting a little curb throws the alignment out…

[@Lilmissjeepher]

It wheels just fine lol only thing that broke while wheeling was a taillight

[@shaunm49]

I like your pants.

[@Lilmissjeepher]

Lol thank you!!

[@davidbarfield3489]

Did you have to regear anything?

[@Lilmissjeepher]

Yes re-geared to 5.13s

[@Pantovinator]

16 on 40s? Wowza, Im 14 on 33s (Mojave).

[@Lilmissjeepher]

they're 17s

[@danamcwhite]

I’m 15 with stock it’s a 2015 wrangler Sahara

[@TheBlue350ss]

Mopar has terrible radios

[@Lilmissjeepher]

For sure haha

[@danamcwhite]

You didn’t regear your Jeep? You’ll get a little mileage and better speed again

[@Lilmissjeepher]

I did! It’s got 5.13s

[@danamcwhite]

@@Lilmissjeepher sweet. Can you show more cake

[@user-vm8fg4oy7z]

I like my 392 better

[@Lilmissjeepher]

good for you

[@TheBlue350ss]

Take them off and get a Sunrider

[@Lilmissjeepher]

I wanna get the clear lids

[@paulhasty8388]

I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland and I have removed and reinstalled the top several times and have no noises. When you start lifting the truck and installing 40" tires I believe your asking for trouble also if your going to run 40" tires you should run 8 bolt one ton axles. Did you have the lift kit installed by a professional or did you do it yourself? If you did it yourself that could be part of the problem. I think you need to have a professional shop take a look at your truck I have had no problems with my truck at all!

[@AlanTrades]

The mopar lift actually rides better than oem. And comes out to about 2.5 inches. Factory warranty too
