Jeep Gladiator Off-Roading With 35” Tires
Вставка

- Its time to test out the Jeep Gladiators Offroad Performance with a set of 35" mud tires!!
The last trip Cassie and i took, we were on the same trails with this Jeep completely stock!
Jeep Specs:
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
35x12.5R17 Yokohama Geolandars
Teraflex 1.5" Leveling kit
Falcon Monotube Shocks
We headed down to Uwharrie National Forest to get some trail time in with the 35s. Even though the trails were extremely muddy, the Jeep seemed to handle it very well. Rocks + wet mud = no traction. Luckily our jeep is a rubicon, equipped with front and rear locking differentials which helped out a ton in this terrain.
Overall, the Jeep gladiator works well with 35" tires. It is still comfortable on the road, and doesnt give the Jeep a "sluggish" feel. Offroad, i would say they are a mandatory size to hit some of the harder trails. If you are a new jeep owner, and not sure if you want to do a full dive into 4X4 life, then 35s are a great place to start without doing a ton of other upgrades and mods.
Like i mentioned, this is the final video with this Jeep on 35s, its been fun, but its time to go a little bigger and see what it can do!!!
Like always, thanks for watching! Please give the video a thumbs up and leave a comment!
Stay tuned for more Jeep videos soon.

Nice to see Cassie back in the videos!
Absolutely right bro! She is a special lady! Out there with you and she's the one walking around in the mud! True keeper bro. Treat her right and keep wheeling and having fun together.
she is easy on the eyes and the ears...unlike some other channels where the chick constantly interrupts the driver.
6:15 that physically hurt lol
Blind driver...if you know how to place your tyre on the correct track, you don't even need to shift into 4WD
We know you have 37" waiting to go on, but the 35's look great and maintain a civilized ride and maintain the stock look, which is awesome!
You guys have the JK and LJ to do the hardcore wheeling.....
You guys have probably wheeled the JT harder than most, and again a $53K Jeep you don't want to destroy.
My guess is 90% of the Gladiators with 40's never see anything but asphalt!
I can't believe how well the Gladiator did in the mud on those rocks... Impressive..
More impressive is Cassie! She makes these videos so awesome...
PLEASE keep her included when you can..
Waiting for the review of the JL/JT Tazer!
Well done guys...
I love the upgrades !!!! It looks so cool on 35" tires. You got it dialed in perfectly. I agree it is a good all-around truck.
Liked the 35s on there. Thats what i run on my JK so my short wife can still get in. I am looking forward to seeing it on bigger tires though. Still enjoying the videos. Keep them coming.
I'm excited for the 37's. I'm going to be following along.
the 35s look great
It is a VERY good looking 'truck''. My colors and the tires not only look bad ass, they work! I chewed on the 'truck' bit for a while but yes, it is, a bad ass one at that! A lift and 37"s, cant wait to see!!!
Awesome videos, keep them coming!!!
Jason Hassen Jeep not truck
@@inmarsatphone8197 I've always had traditional trucks and off-road with them. Do I respect the Jeep, hell yeah!!! Would love to have one. I know it's a different world as far as off-road goes. Jeep, truck... It's a awesome truck to me 🙂
Its amazing how tires can really improve the look. Im not a fan of jeeps but i like the look of the gladiator, but with the 35s I'm loveing it. Looks so much better and fits well
8:55 "I Need Lockers!" That was great! That got a sub from me. Great videos!
Great video, love seeing a couple that likes being together, lil gals a Jeeper too!!!
My aging TJ has 35x12.5R15 tyres. It has a Skyjacker 4.5 inch suspension lift, Teraflex adjustable track bar, super thick teraflex adjustable tie rod and I had to install new rims to stop rubbing when making turns. However, I did not have enough money to get new rims with the proper offset. I bought hubcentric 2.5 inch spacers and stopped the rubbing on turns. Besides, I really like the vintage stock Canyon rims on my aging TJ. So, I really did not force the rims when the spacers are doing incredibly well. My aging TJ has been with me many years and I do not think I will ever part with her. I have installed everything completely by myself and even broke a thumb during the Skyjacker lift install. I learned the hard way with my YJ. Never depend on anybody helping you unless you pay a shop. So I bought the tools and installed everything myself. Though I will never part with my YJ nor my TJ, a nice Gladiator JT would make a great roomate for my ladies. I am also looking for a replacement JKU because my Sahara Unlimited JKU had to be sold due to financial difficulties. But now I am ready to find a JKU again. Then add a JT to the family.
You have a solid axle truck. So the only extra clearance you get is from the tires. Going from 33s to 35s gets you 1 inch more clearance under the differentials. Suspension lift gives you zero inches without increasing tire size. It will increase the body's clearance but not the axle which is the lowest point.
My issue last time we were out was high centering, not axle clearance. That’s why I said the extra suspension height helped (raising body and frame).
Overall from the tires, and suspension, it helped the truck bottom out less.
I go with 38 instead of 37 tires.i just never been a big fan of 37.my jeep wrangler Rubicon jk has lift 40 tires 513 gears Dana 60 axels front and rear lockers and a hemi engine in it. It's a blast off roading in it.
@@lastbhatalive we use to have the 456 gears they worked great but when we went to 40 tires decided to go 513 gears .
Lets face it the rims and 35's you have on the Gladiator pull it all together in my opinion. Your muddy ride up Daniel was impressive. Question do you have access to the weather channel? Were crocks predicted for that day. I'm glad Cassie wasn't hurt on the falls. She does an excellent filming on a trail like Daniel, being as steep as it is. Thanks enjoying the Gladiator builds. OMB
Love the fact that you are both into it, together. Couples that Wheel together...slip together. Anyway, if you have not already, I would strongly suggest you air down to 18 psi (or less). On the videos, it looks like your tires are not flexin in the sidewall. You would enjoy far better traction and comfort as well.
Haha thanks for watching 🤘. The tires were actually aired down, but yes it seemed like I could go a tad lower.
i remember doing Daniel in my JLU Sport and i felt so accomplished doing it. It crazy the videos dont do it any justice. Just got a gladiator and and Uwharrie is the first place I'm taking it with a rooftop tent
Its kind of crazy to me how a 35 is now a beginner tire. A lot had to be done to my XJ to fit 33's! I am ready to go 35's but have a few more things to do to keep my flex and not rub. So many people have 37's and even 40's now.
yeah man its crazy. I remember back in the day, when i was first getting started. 31s were a nice tire to run, and 33s were big, 35s were for the serious guys, and the buggies were on 37s haha. Its crazy the changes that have happened in the offroad scene over the years, as well as the changes that modern jeeps have made to allow bigger tires.
However, its also a drawback having a newbie out on the trail with 40s, it usually leads to a false sense of capability and puts them in situations they are not ready to handle.
But then again, an XJ on 35s with lockers, can easily keep up with a JK or JL on 37s.
Even with this truck on 37s or 40s, i could easily go more places with my LJ on 35s.
You'll love your XJ on 35s, just make sure to beef up the areas that will need it!
@UC3-bMz3L8wgzLlkLcXA4O0Q Yeah I have a trussed dana 30, with gussets, chromoly shafts and a locker, Ford 8.8 rear end with a truss and a detroit locker. I also have bumpers and sliders and skids. Just need frame stiffeners and a cage!
Another good video Ben!
That hill descent it’s an awesome feature, gotta see how it does coming down on snow, that will be perfect
Fun vid! I'm crushin hard on a Gladiator with 35's. I may be wrong, but it doesn't seem like you guys are air-ed down. I feel like that would make a tremendous difference for ya. Thanks for the fun vid!
Quite impressed.
these new jeeps are crazy lol. I'm used to the old jeeps where you had about 140 horse power on a good day if all cylinders were firing, and 29" tires lmao... but hey never got stuck.. usually just put my buddy on the front bumper jumping up and down and it would walk its way right out of the hole
OK, I have to wave the white flag, no way in hell am I going to put my Gladiator through that beating to get an adrenaline rush, but like ya said in your closing video, everyone has their own opinion!!! Glad to watch you do the do & I watch & see how capable they are!!!!
What did you set the Falcon shocks on ? soft / performance
It looks great as is but the 37s will give you that little extra you need.
Nice truck. In the video with the 35s. Did you lift her or us that stock. Thanks a bunch.
I think in this video I had the 1.5” front Teraflex leveling kit on. still have it.
Lift will be coming in the future
Oh mate I need one in my life, awesome video mate
Thanks for video , gladiator looks really cool with those wheels and bigger tires 👍
That looks awesome
I dont have floor boards in my TJ so mud is no problem haha
😂
That hill decent works uphill as well. Try it next time, it cool. Also are you running in low range with lockers on in that video?
Oh yeah it’s awesome! Like off-road cruise control haha. And yes all of this was in 4low, and lockers when needed
@@JKGearandGadgets Thanks.
Little air down helps 👍👌😎 love that truck , definitely what i want one day after my xj ...
Streetability looks damn good. Don't know what region you're in but snow won't be a problem on 35's. With the other rigs I'd leave her like she is.
Recognized Uwharrie right away. Nice Jeep. That place can be pretty difficult when it’s dry.
I think it’ll look bad ass with 37’s on it.
Hmmmmm 🤔 stay tuned!
Gotta put those Crocs in 4X4 next time lol
i wanted to tell you that on my jl wrangler the up and down buttons on the steering wheel are sandwiched two. Also eating the nerds rope that's great. i enjoy your vids keep them rolling
Lots of fun! Thank you
Looks like you have gone with 40's instead of those 35's. Might want to get a winch on that front bumper too.
It will happen lol, can’t do too much too fast lol
I really don't understand the craze for longer wheelbase jeeps.
6" lift on tons and 40's and it will be right.
I hate those humps at Uwharrie. Took my ram 3500 through there, every one I had to go at an angle, difficult with a truck that size.
I bet that Toyota that drove by walked right through that!! Lol
He didn’t try the rocks, he went around the side like we ended up doing
How's the wind noise on the highway with the sun rider top?
Nice video! Looks like you two are having a good time. I hated the Toyota’s Crawl Control!
There wasn’t much off-road there. Basically flat dirt roads. You need 37’s and like a 4.5 inch lift to wheel that thing properly. Rear departure is terrible. If I get one I’ll build it and rock crawl only. Love the gladiator. Practice dude you’ll get the hang of off-roading.
Feel free to check out my other Offroad videos.
Go do Crucible at Rausch creek, then we can talk. Lol
Who makes those rims?? I love the look!
Anyone??
Lockers and more throttle at times and it'll climb. Those tires are the right size, but not the correct pattern for the multitude of mud, rock, wet slick combo. Maybe try some diff ones that clean better when u burn those up
Nice video had fun.
Exited for the 37s. What tire is that
excited? what is exited?
Great video! Really enjoyed the comparison from your previous run. Have you messed around with the "offroad +" feature? I used it both at the beach and on a similar trail that you were on....felt weird. Running a stock '20 Gladiator Rubicon.
I think it looks good. I am planning on getting a gladiator myself and am wanting it to be a daily driver. What is the biggest tire I can use that is still suitable to be a daily driver...
stay tuned for my video on the 37s! i think with the Rubicon, or sport S with max tow (4.10 gears) 37s would be a max size for daily driving
Awesome video. Love it. Where is this place you went off-roading?
Uwharrie national forest In NC
Looks really nice as is but I kno them 37 gon look aggressive
It’s a Gladiator. I’m not surprised it struggled on the easy stuff. The Crocs handled better.
Ah, I hate to be the one to tell you, but the brim on your hat goes to the front...…..unless you are a baseball catcher. I think that went out in the 90s.
I usually kinda do what I want. It’s the great thing about America, and the great thing about serving it 🇺🇸
Off Road on the Jeep gladiator doing the wheeling
Really helpful video - thank you!
Love the videos and gladiator. What wheels are those and are you using spacers?
these are mickey thompson classics, painted with steelit. no spacers, 4" backspacing. Just wait untill you see the new wheels, they look soooo good!
Need a video of how you cleaned the Uwharrie mud off that thing! Whats the process?
Ill have a full video soon showing my process of cleaning!
💘 your video
Great video!!!!
Man, you arr really brave to doing that without skitplate
great review. nice couple.
Wow i need to get out there with you guys one day :D ever plan to do a meet up?
Sometime hopefully!
JK Gear and Gadgets how can I follow all your pages:D I’m in NC uwharrie is like a hour away so anytime you do I’m down!
Is a video of the Wrangler tub fix coming?
Hopefully within the next week or 2. But don’t expect much lol. I’ll be learning while making the video. I’m not good at bodywork haha
What wheels are those? Brand/width/backpacking. Want to do that same setup!! Cheers
amzn.to/4ddyk3L
We just painted them grey
what was the tire pressure looks like you could’ve gone a little lower
What brand of tires are those
Hows your mpg?
Did you do any bump stop extensions on the rear? Or no?
I thought you said you weren't going to go crazy with the Gladiator and now you are wanting to put 37's on it with more upgrades to adequately handle the 37's. What's up with that? Can I purchase the spacer kit from you when you take it off for the 37's?
I don’t think 37s will be crazy. 40s would be a different story. But I think a mildly built gladiator with 37s will be a tasteful yet capable build. I’m not sure what I’m doing with all the components yet. I will either be selling them with the Rubi suspension, or separated.
Love the video guys! Ive got 35's on my Gladiator plus a 2 in MOPAR lift. Thinking about leveling it. Any suggestions? Also,what kind of disconnects do you have on it?
Daystar has a front 3/4”
Or get the Teraflex leveling kit and only use the .5” spacer.
Right now, stock sway bar links with the rubicon electronic disconnect
Thank you for filming in 1440!!!
Did you air down? Just wandering?
Did you have offroad + active when you were out on this trip? Also, do you have select speed? I would love to see how well that works compared to manually trying the slippery obstacles.
I did for about 15 seconds, I hate it in 4low.
37s is what i want but what about those mpgs!? I want it for overlanding with the ability to explore
Im surprised you didn't just go with a 2" lift instead of a level.
WhT is the size of lift and brand?
After riding it with 35s for a month or so, do you think it would handle Hot Springs ORV with just the 1 1/2” spacer for the badges?
I’m debating on just doing the spacer or a 3 1/2” suspension lift and still keeping the 35s.
So I'm sure I'm asking for pretty much everyone. When are you putting a 4 inch lift and 40's on it?
In due time. There are a lot of other important upgrades to make before jumping to 40s
I know those 35s are gone now but what’s the name brand/style of those wheels? Love those.
They are Mickey Thompson classics that we painted grey
How often did you use your lockers here?
Seems like owning a Jeep is a fad these days. Off-roading is becoming mainstream. BTW I would definitely love to own one of the Gladiators.
Huh? I’ve owned jeeps for a long time
What I meant to say is there are a lot of Jeeps in my area and where I go off road now. It’s a family wagon for most. I live in California where at one point in time pick up-trucks were just owned by people that actually used them for their intended use and not because of their masculine good looks. More power to Jeep owners new and old. Just my honest observation.
What wheels were you running in this video?
I knew this was Uwharrie just from the thumbnail...
Gotta love that red clay!
Succes for you brother
1st time 4x4 owner and I had to have the Gladiator. Would you recommend 35s for a daily driver or 33s? Thank and love the videos.
35s! get a rubicon or the sport s with max tow package to get the 4.10 gear ratio
im curious what tyre pressure you're using for these? looks like you have a lot more to lower on these tracks even with the mud slip going to 12-14 is worth it to increase the footprint
I was thinking the same
Do you have the stock rubicon suspension with the 35’s
my next move !
Hi Jk. How is the ride comfort , with the gladiator running 35's on highways and regular daily commute?
Not bad at all!
@JK Gear and Gadgets, what wheels were you using while on 35"s ?
Mickey Thompson classics, I sandblasted and painted them with steelit
I'd prefer cooper at3 xlt tires but great vid
Look okay
What wheels are those ?
These, but I painted them grey. amzn.to/3T5ipfs
Thanks
The gladiator is too long to be a GREAT off road vehicle. The 4 door JL (which I have) is almost too long itself, but the Gladiator is like 2 feet longer even at the wheels
When you make a joke about a Toyota owner, but following the same trail and right behind it, you don't find it stuck, heck, you didn't even see his dust. That Toyota owner must've made a joke as he saw you looking to gake the same path😂😂
I wheel with Toyota’s all the time...it was joke lol. Geez
Just Sub'd! 🤘🏽🤙🏽
