Perfect Jeep Gladiator Look Without a Lift

[@adross3]

I have the same tires in my Sport S 23' gladiator. I noticed about a 5% noise and a 10% rougher ride than street tires. After just a week, I can't tell the difference. I haven't taken it out climbing, but I can crank the wheel for a full turn with no rubbing. It also looks like I sit higher naturally than his JT.

[@greghull3189]

What I like about the Falken A/T Wildpeaks besides the great ride, they are a severe snow service-rated tire.

[@setset7966]

👌

[@mblake0420]

So is the duratrac

[@Lefishn]

​@mblake0420 except duratrac are heavier, noisier and more expensive. Went from Duratracs on 2023 Ram to Wildpeaks on Gladiator and sticking with Wildpeaks

[@dqqse5917]

The Goodyears are LT (light truck) tires. Load E or D, can’t see in shadow. Falkens are P (passenger) tires. LT on a small rig will always ride harder. Stick with P285/70R17 if your look’n for comfort. Gonna beat it up on the trails. LT for sure or you’ll lose a sidewall, get a puncture, and there ya sit if you don’t have a matching spare. Thanks for heads up on matte grill and colored edges.

[@Lefishn]

Not all Falkens are P cause my Stock 285/70r17 Wildpeaks are not P rated P rating also has less side lugs or aggressive look and less tread depth

[@bobbyfanman1734]

I have the exact same tires on my Gladiator too, love them. Just aggressive enough to look good but they aren't noisy on the highway and are great in wet weather.

[@robmotiveplus]

Best awt out there IMO👍

[@kathy0698]

I think the Jeep looks pretty darn good without a lift. I would venture a guess, that lifting it WOULD compromise the ride. Damn, I like those Wild Peaks!

[@robmotiveplus]

The Wildpeaks are awesome! Perfect match I think👍

[@adamchamp34]

Thank you for making sense of it all. I am looking at a used gladiator that has the same tires and no lift and it does look amazing.

[@lookingthroughice7843]

That ride looks sweet. I don't understand why so many people think they need to lift there trucks just for show. If your going to do a lift, do it for the purpose it was intended for and not just to climb over parking lot curbs

[@556rocky]

Well I ended up getting the same sidesteps you got ,my truck looks amazing bigger tires would be nice now

[@robmotiveplus]

Awesome! Gotta get larger tires!!👍

[@adventureslab813]

Thanks again Rob ! You’ve just answered my question ! Awesome video as always !!!

[@robmotiveplus]

Glad to help and thanks for watching 👍

[@EddiTaru]

If you go with a quality lift, you actually gain quality ride, you don't loose it. This jeep does need a lift. Otherwise great start.

[@anthonynicholson5523]

Well ...there is also safety in his ride

[@Niqqilynx]

thank you for this video, honestly. i have the sport in the same gobi color, and seeing this gives me more of an idea on what i'd like my jeep to look like, and how that can be accomplished. including that black grill cover.

[@robmotiveplus]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@johnnycochran6128]

Haven’t lifted mine either and to me it looks good. Quick question. None of my business. What do you do for a living? Not specific or anything

[@robmotiveplus]

I love the look. No need to lift for my setup. I am a full time Content Creator for Google👍

[@setset7966]

U gave me all the info I needed . Thanks so much I didn't want to mess with the comfort of my jeep gladiator bc I just loves the way it drives

[@robmotiveplus]

Glad to help👍

[@ryannewazada2102]

Aloha Rob. Jeep brought back the Gobi color for the 2022/ 2023 order of Wranglers and Gladiators. I do enjoy the Gobi color from your prior videos. The Gobi color is a very nice blend like iced coffee with coconut milk. I know you mentioned that the White Jeep JT is the best color for retention. Great video Rob.🙌👀🤜🦵🤛🤙👉🏼👈🏿🤟🤟🏽🤟🏾✌

[@robmotiveplus]

I really liked the Gobi color too👍👍

[@franktowles4413]

It is identified on the side of your tire as117T OD:33 OW 11:50

[@Lefishn]

So stock sports don't come with 33? Glad the Rubicon I got already had the exact Wildpeak 285/70r17. Going to keep stock rims but at 1 75" good spacers and a 1 6" level to the front for more aggressive look that your Fuel rims give. Stock is too tucked under

[@homertripto6626]

I have the same truck. Gobi as well. I love the colour but I find it's a love it or hate it for a lot of people. I put the Black Rhino Arsenal wheels on mine that match the Gobi. I have a stubby front and winch as well and run the soft top all year (I live in the great white north). My 4th Jeep and just got fed up with hard tops. If it's sunny and warm, the roof is open!!! Love your videos btw.

[@robmotiveplus]

Sounds great! Thanks for watching 👍

[@ralphanator27]

Greetings from Alaska! Thanks for the vid really helped me out with my gladiator wheel and tire combo. :)

[@robertyoung8289]

Ever think about just upgrading the shocks?

[@robmotiveplus]

Why do that? Nothing wrong with it now👍

[@christophermartinez5314]

Awesome truck

[@TheHezzii]

Like if you wanna see Robs JT hit the TRAILS...

[@atlprepper4134]

I totally agree, I have mine on 33’s no lift and I think it looks great. Still in the process of doing mods. I have my own KZbin channel as well check it out

[@robmotiveplus]

Awesome 👍

[@JR-ut1yx]

No lift agree, but curious if you did a front puck leveling kit? Thanks!

[@robmotiveplus]

Nope. It was stock.

Welcome and thanks for the sub. What flavor Gladiator did you get?

[@Mr45Bullitt]

@@robmotiveplus I got the Willys edition. Mine doesn't have many add ons. The price of these Jeeps is pretty high to me so I went as cheap as I could.

@@robmotiveplus I got the 8 speed auto like yours but I have roll up windows and no auto door locks. It's funny my daughter never saw roll up windows in a vehicle.

[@robmotiveplus]

Lol! It’s like a beta tape!! 😬

[@Pmmx2]

Also what do you do for a spare? Can the spare be fit with the same tire and fit underneath? New to this. Thanks

[@Lefishn]

I would suggest you always have a spare that's same rim and tire. When you rotate do a 5 tire rotation so tires wear even and last longer. Plus if ever blow a rear you have same tire size so your diff doesn't burn out

[@scotts7427]

Looks great as always Rob, not lifted or lifted whatever I think it looks great!! I’m telling ya, while hauling grain, i’m certainly seeing quite a few more of these things!! Pretty amazing really, how they have caught on 👍!!

[@robmotiveplus]

That's great! We need them to keep propagating so Jeep keeps them around!!👍

What's good for one person isn't always what's good for someone else. But since you're already thinking about trading for the next new toy, then why bother doing anything if you're not going to keep it.

I have a 2018 TRD Pro taco and loved it but the sluggish, clunky drivetrain and rear drums are getting on my nerves. Looking at a 22 Gladiator mojave. Which do you prefer to drive out of the two?

Thank you!

[@whiskeybravoTX]

They're not the same size.. your gladiators are 285 (70r) 17's roughly 32.8" the toyotas are 285 (75r) 17's 33.9" I'm not sure why you use the 285 as the tire size, that only equates to width

[@AngelTorres-ot4mr]

Ar good morning I got jeep gladiator sport s I want to put bigger tire. What are you recommend? I was told 285-70 - 17 that I had to rear I want my Jeep just like yours normal. I don't want it lift it. What tires are you recommend? Please let me know and thank you sir. I love your show. I learn a lot from you

[@robmotiveplus]

Everything you're asking about is in this video.

[@andreman5946]

Where did you buy that replica rubicon steel bumper from?

[@johnnycochran6128]

There’s a video for that

[@Fatback_97]

I have a 2020 sport and I want that wider rougher look but I’m completely ignorant to tire/wheel upgrades. I have a2-2.5” fox lift with stock wheels and I’m on budget so I’d like to not buy wheels if I don’t have to. Would your setup work on stock or would I need wider wheels?

[@robmotiveplus]

It’s all about the wheel offset not wider wheels. What you see on my Jeep is the wheels pushed out a bit due to their offset.

[@davidstikeleather788]

What are the specs on your wheels?

[@SargeISF]

Where did you get the front bumper? I’m curious because it looks like a quality replica

[@robmotiveplus]

It’s the 3-piece Rubicon on Ebay👍

[@lennycooksey300]

Any notice of the speedometer when you upgraded your wheels and tires?

[@robmotiveplus]

It’s a couple MPH off.

[@Fenririnthesierra]

I have a 2022 gladiator altitude. I love the wheels it comes with. It sits now with those dueler HTs 245/75 r17 I want to go with those fallens. The 285/70 r17 should work without mod yea? And no rubbing?

[@robmotiveplus]

Should be ok👍

[@richardphillips2251]

Is the speedometer off with that size tire.

[@robmotiveplus]

Yup,,,,gonna be off a bit with larger tires.

How did going to a 285-70-17 affect your mpg's? Thank you !

[@robmotiveplus]

Hard to say. I’ve added quite a bit of weight to the truck🤔

Nice! Great to know info. I put Rubicon rim and tires on my 21 Gladiator Sport with the max tow package (wider axles) but am happy to know I can go bigger without a lift. Thanks!

[@robmotiveplus]

Awesome!👍

[@AndyValencia1995]

Any update on this now? In just picked up my 23 gladiator sport with Max tow package but have read a little that when putting on tires we should really factor the max tow components as they are specific sizes and all. I don't want to lift mine only put on 33s max, for now of course. Thanks in advance.

What rims and tires model number? Thanks
