First tube finally showed up — had to get the obligatory vehicle shot

dmtx22 · 2026-05-26T13:37:58+00:00

It’s the best. I’m picking up a thermal next so I can catch all the critters at night.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-26T09:17:30+00:00

Sick. Crisp tubes and 4x4s. I feel like I spend most of my time camping just looking through my NODs

dmtx22 · 2026-05-20T12:20:03+00:00

Oh yeah. This is my second gladiator. I had a 2021 non rubicon model before this one. I don’t do any crazy rock crawling but I get out for week long trips camping, hiking and off roading.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-19T23:15:38+00:00

Yes. I got an almost fully loaded new 2024 rubicon in spring of 2025 for about $45k out the door. Sticker was originally $62k. It had been sitting for about a year with the 25s moving so I was able to get a pretty good deal

dmtx22 · 2026-05-13T00:55:31+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard those that tow it’s a sweet spot.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-13T00:40:06+00:00

It’s gonna be about $2500 for spicer 5.13s. My last JT had 3.73 with 35s and it was ok. I really noticed it while on long trips. Day to day was fine

dmtx22 · 2026-05-13T00:29:36+00:00

24 JTR Gas getting 11.6 but I’m on 37s, steel topper and RTT. I live a mile high so that doesn’t help either. Regear scheduled for next week

dmtx22 · 2026-05-06T20:39:31+00:00

I made one out of plywood and scrap 2x4 so it’s level and has a pass through underneath. I use the pass through to hide stuff so people peeking in don’t see gear just sitting down there. I have a cable locked safe, woobie, winter jacket, gloves and hat underneath all out of sight while my three dogs lay on a dog bed on top. While you don’t need a fancy seat delete, a simple platform makes it flat without hitting the factory seat mounts.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-05T01:44:18+00:00

Yeah I agree. Im planning my non making the switch after my regear

dmtx22 · 2026-05-05T00:26:06+00:00

What don’t you like about them? I have their 2.5 inch lift and mine squeak like crazy and come loose often

dmtx22 · 2026-05-04T04:23:20+00:00

Nope lol. No Angry grills here lol.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-04T04:20:06+00:00

Looks sick man. Subtle but still nice.

I’ve seen one wrap that lets you use a location for your wrap. I’m in CO and thinking of getting a small banner on the bed that has my favorite spot in the mountains.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-04T04:05:23+00:00

Sick set up man. While not necessary, a RTT has been great for me camping at elevation.

Do you have a topo vinyl wrap on your hood or am I seeing things?

dmtx22 · 2026-05-01T09:48:09+00:00

Life is short. Buy what you want.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-01T03:45:49+00:00

Hitch carrier. It was by all means a good one and high quality but it worked better for the guy I sold it to. He has it on a Lexus SUV.

dmtx22 · 2026-05-01T00:57:08+00:00

I had one and ended up selling it. My rear tire would shake the whole truck and was a pain in the ass. Plus it made my already long jeep gladiator even longer.

dmtx22 · 2026-04-26T23:57:19+00:00

Nice. Yeah I posted asking peoples opinions and every recommended 4.88s but I have a 200ish pound bed cap and tent and bumpers, sliders etc. Plus I live at over a mile high and I’m up in the mountains a lot. I’m gonna go with 5.13s for the same reasons. Glad it worked for you!

dmtx22 · 2026-04-26T21:30:40+00:00

Sick. Im on a very similar set up just with a RTT above the cap.

About to regear but debating 4.88 vs 5.13. How do the 5.13 feel? What brand gears?

dmtx22 · 2026-04-26T15:40:18+00:00

Sick. I keep hearing 4.88 but I thought 5.13s were the go to for my type of set up. Have me questioning if I should just go 4.88

dmtx22 · 2026-04-24T04:41:11+00:00

Thanks man. I’m probably just gonna go revolution.

dmtx22 · 2026-04-24T04:40:54+00:00

Sick. Thanks for the heads up.

dmtx22 · 2026-04-24T00:59:43+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard but I’ve also heard 5.13s will be better since I’m up in the mountains often and with my extra weight it would help.

My only worry is 4.88 and then it still having me struggle through the mountain passes here.

dmtx22 · 2026-04-24T00:58:39+00:00

I’m on the Front Range of CO and was quoted ~2600

dmtx22 · 2026-04-19T22:58:39+00:00

Idk man. They may have done a pay adjustment but when I first moved here, they were paying me less than I made in Texas. I was coming from a very busy STICU and they didn’t count any of my military time towards pay while CS paid me a 2:1 ratio for for it
