I was a little worried about running 40's on the 44's. I don't do rocks so I feel a lot better now. Thanks for the great video!

Can I run 40s on a gladiator without Dana 60s ? I basically did a re-gearing, rcv axle shafts, Reid racing knuckles, spicer ball joints, rpm heavy drag link & tie rod, artec axle reinforcement, arb air lockers, arb diff covers. All this is is on the 44s

My daily driver is a JT Rubicon on 40's stock axle and factory 4:10 gears and this thing has taken some abuse and held up. I love the Gladiator so much I bought a second one. before anyone ask, yes the 4:10 gears run great with the rubicon 4:1 transfer case so plenty of low range for obstacles. On highway the 8 speed auto is amazing and always finds the powerband, vehicle feels sluggish on stock tires but for some reason came to life once I put 40's on, maybe the computer sensed my heavy foot and adapted the throttle response because its feeling much better . Why have i chosen to keep 4:10 gears, because they work great surprisingly especially with the transfer case on rubicon and also less likely to fail since the 4:10 ring and pinion have more surface area than say a 4:8 8 or 5:13

Hi Matt, what gears you running on that beast 5.13, 5.38? Also you said you have RockJock 3in system, i was on their site and i see the start at 4in, i may not of looked hard enough but i was just wondering.. Awesome build, i'm going to put 40's on my gladiator as well. Thanks for your time.

SO sic! The Glad is a BEAST! 🤙🤙

Great looking Gladiator!

Love the video thank you!

Nice gladiator! I plan to add a magnuson super charger in June of 2021? I have size 37 in tires and I put the fab fours front grumper on my gladiator. My next modification is your Baja amber lights. I really like that look!

Great job on the build! I’ve got parts trickling in for mine - we’re doing a custom long arm kit and 37s for this stage. My foot and 40s will likely need beefier axles so that will be a bit. 😜

It can be seen in the bed throughout the video.

Are those the Rubicon fenders with the chop or did you just keep the Sports and chop them?

What offset are the KMC's? Or did u add spacers? I have -38 grenades and my 13.50's dont stick that much lol

I think 37" look best on JT but your jeep is well outfitted. I would never run more than 38" but cheep jeep ass more like 35" if can't get good price on tires & every1 upgrading should leave a lot of cheap good rubbper out there.

I think 37” are what they should have come with, with 4:88 gears. The 40’s to me look great especially with a good wheel combo. Because to me it take 40’s to make the thing look like it has a big tire on it.

damn man i really want to see how the 44's on 40's hold up,cause right now im on 35's with kings but the truck is only leveled cause(ill admit it i cant afford the whole lift kit)i love that low truck big tire look and my front axle is trussed since i am pretty harsh with my truck and i do jump it a bit (the truck only does go like 4ft in the air so it "shouldn't hurt the truck") but man i love my setup man the jks spacers do freaking wonders man its a hydraulic bumpstop and a spacer so thats how i lifted the truck, List of parts on my truck (2020 Sting Gray JTR) 7 slot customs front bumper with baja designs amber fogs with a warn 12k winch Jks coil spacer pro with king shocks all around aev beadlock wheels wrapped in mickey thompson mt tires weld on lca skids,all around and lastly(i think) the artec industries aluminum skid cause my truck is my baby even if i still jump my truck a bit i still wanna protect it and thats my whole setup :D edit- 3-2-22 traded in the gasser for a ecodiesel,started over but kept almost all the mods,like the bumper winch,lights,wheels and shocks, returned the truck to stock and what can i say it was sort of worth it,beated the piss out of that thing and now i know what im gonna do with my new ecodiesel,sold some of my parts noted above for a small downpayment but its all worth it to me :D

Most of the time, carnage is going to happen when your on the throttle while bouncing or otherwise shock-loading the drivetrain. If you can modulate the skinny pedal correctly you shouldn’t have too many issues. Of course bigger axles/chromoly gives you the freedom to “send it” with less concern of breakage.

I find it crazy how people buy a brand new $50K truck, rip out everything it came with like the wheels, axles, and suspension and replace it all with another $25K worth of the same shit. It's completely pointless to spend the money on a new vehicle if you're going to get rid of half of it.. The only things that actually matter on trucks used for off-road are the size of the wheels, axles, and suspension. The rest is just amenities and cosmetics. If you're going to upgrade those components then buy a used truck because none of the other shit matters.
