I've owned over 20 vehicles (5-6 were brand new), and my new 2020 JTR has the 8.4" Navi with the 9-speaker Alpine system, and it's insane how good it sounds for a factory system. First time I've ever bought a vehicle that I didn't want to immediately start changing speakers and radio out.
kcrr2w you are correct. I mentioned the max tow for the Gladiator off the top of my head. Rubicon is listed at 7,000 and I’m not sure how the lift and tires will effect the tow rating yet but I’ll find out
The Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition MSRP was 63,300 there was no dealership markup, that was the price on 4x4 day when I ordered it and that was the price when I picked it up from the dealership. That was the price before tax, title, extended warranty, ceramic coating etc. and before any mods.
jmalacon with -44 offset on this setup there’s a slight rub in full turn while off roading, the tire hits the stock rock sliders they go too far into the wheel well. I have to trim them down slightly or buy aftermarket sliders. It’s not bad enough to cause tire damage or slider damage though
@@Gladiator4x4Beast killer Gladiator! I've been looking for pictures or videos of a Jeep with -44 offset wheels and I found this great video. I'm currently buying my first Jeep, I first liked the Gladiator then changed my mind and decided to go for the Wrangler, but after looking at yours, I might change again, the dealership I'm buying the wrangler also have the special edition Gladiator for 10k CAD more. Whether I go for the JL or this one, I'll go for for the same wheel/tire size as yours but my chose of wheels (KMC XD137) has -44 12" wide or -18 10" wide. A jeep shop in my area recommend the -18, they said -44 was going to stick out too much, and there were issues with that.. but by looking at yours, it looks killer. What do you think about -18 instead?
They're black machined dark tint FYI they show metallic when scratched. I've got a few nicks and scratches from rocks off-roading but that is to be expected, especially with the larger wheel size.
Power is great with 37's, I love the 8 speed automatic transmission. No need to re-gear either, I would upgrade the lift and axles before I would spend the money to re-gear the Dana 44's. If you haven't seen my latest video you should check it out. It goes over the wheel and tire setup in detail. Thanks for watching.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast - Are you experiencing any reliability issues at all? I really would like to buy one of these but I’m so afraid of the reliability factor. I hear so much negativity for reliability with Jeeps. Is it all hype or have you found that to be true?
The plugs came with the floor mats, there's slits in the factory carpet that you have to cut out when you install these floor mats. It's convenient and easy to do, thanks for watching and commenting.
Great looking Jeep. I have one myself and want to get the exact same wheel. What size are they 20x?? What? I heard you say -44. Do you recommend a place so I can order them? I’m in the LA area.
Thanks for watching and commenting! If you look at all the stock specs, they're comparable. I read many reviews before I pulled the trigger on my Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition, most would favor the 2020 Gladiator. Jeep Gladiator offers off-road advantages in traction, maneuverability, articulation, ground clearance and water fording. You'd have to look at all the stock specs through and decide for yourself which is more off-road capable.
I have a question that I hope you can answer. First of all, this has got to be the sickest Gladiator I’ve seen, so props to you. I don’t know how you afford it dude!? But, if I wanted a dealer to do the install of wheels/tires/lift just like this truck has (so it’s all covered under warranty), would a dealer put the wheels and tires I want on the truck? Or would I have to go with their options (which most likely suck)?
Thank you, first off. Second is yes, the dealership will install the lift and the wheels and tires and the dealership warranty will cover up to a 4.5" lift. I drove into the dealership with all wheels/tires and lift and they did all the work. Thanks for watching and commenting.
MudRunner2005 - It’s not just about having a job. I mean, we all have jobs but there are also house payments and bills as well! So, I think a question on how he could afford a $60,000+ vehicle is a good question. I mean, you would have to put at least $30-$40,000 down to get a decent payment. This guy has to be living at home, no mortgage or low rent, no kids, no wife.. or he’s just wealthy.
@@anthonygiordano3991 It's a very simple solution, and you don't have to put down anything really... Right now Jeep is offering 0% for 84 months I believe... Or, a more cost-effective way (fi you can't afford a HUGE monthly payment), is to lease for 3 years, then buy it out at the end of your lease. Low(er) payments, but it does extend the loan term a couple years. But it's an affordable way to do it, because your lease amount goes towards your negotiated price. And then you have what's called a "residual", and that's what you will owe at the end of your lease term, if you want to buy it, and that's the amount your loan will be for. It will be significantly more affordable and lower payment than if you just went and took out a loan for it and bought it outright. 👍🏻
MudRunner2005 - Yes, I know how leasing works, I’m currently at the end of my Mazda lease. I’m turning it in and considering one if these Gladiators. I’m not an off-road guy.. I just like the look. Leasing would be the only option. No one in their right mind would put nothing down and pay upwards of $800-1,000/month. That is just plain crazy and is a sure way to keep you broke! Leasing isn’t that smart either but it’s the only way to lower the payment and make it more tolerable. I figure.. at the end of 3 years, I’ll either be sick of the Jeep or I’ll love it. I’ve never owned a Jeep, so not sure which way I’d lean. The only dilemma is.. I’d be reluctant to buy at the end of lease term because supposedly when these things reach 60-80K miles, that’s when problems start to occur.
@@anthonygiordano3991 I leased mine... But I love it, and plan on keeping it. It will take me 10 years to put 60K miles on my JTR... I plan on leasing for now, then buying. I got a hell of a price negotiating, got a hell of a % rate, and at the end of my lease it will only cost me about $28K to buy it out, and it should still be worth easily $40K with the low miles I put on vehicles, and with all the upgrades I've already done to it. Probably could get $45K or more, depending on how the used market goes in the coming years. Either way, it will be an affordable payment the entire time till it's paid off. And no matter what I should always be in the positive on it, and should never be upside-down on the value. I bought my 2007 Ram 2500 Cummins 4x4 brand new in 2007, and I still have it, and it just rolled 62,000 miles earlier this year. I don't drive it much these days, but it's a paid-for 4wd diesel that I know the absolute history of, so I'm not going to just dump it aside and sell it...That would be foolish. That truck could still bring $30-35K if I put it in the right marketplace.
I have the same truck in gobi clear. Best truck I’ve ever owned, you showed me one thing I didn’t know , now I know where to put my key whey I want to keep it out. Great video. I did purchase the new running boards off the 2021 and they are sweet and fit great.
The Mopar 2" lift with 2.5" Fox Shocks was the first lift available for the Gladiator. Dealership warranty covers up to 4.5" lift, I plan to go to a 4.5" lift when I can.
I converted my garage into a man-cave/living space so I'm not sure if it fits in my garage lol I park it outside, I ordered a cab cover for it to protect it.
The Mopar Trail Rail system came on the Launch Edition Gladiator, it is a factory option you can get them from Mopar at your Jeep dealership or online. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Love this gladiator, this is actually my dream truck 👌👌👌 soon I will have it.
I never thought i was going to like the gladiator more than the wrangler man i was wrong
Love it! I have a white one and love it so far!
I have JT Rubicon too but Rubicon toe limit is 7000 lbs and Max Tow is technically not available.
kcrr2w you are correct. I mentioned the max tow for the Gladiator off the top of my head. Rubicon is listed at 7,000 and I’m not sure how the lift and tires will effect the tow rating yet but I’ll find out
What'd it cost? I only ask because I want to see if my jeep dealership is going to bend me over.

Love the wheels
That's a bro-dozer if I've ever seen one. Lol looks good though.
Did you add aluminium spacers? Didn't catch that on the video, if you do so, does it affect the warranty?
Thanks cool vid
Dealership warranty covers lift up to 4.5” I have the Mopar 2” lift kit installed and did not add any spacers.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast That's great so you don't mess with the suspension. Any tire rubbing on tight turns?
jmalacon with -44 offset on this setup there’s a slight rub in full turn while off roading, the tire hits the stock rock sliders they go too far into the wheel well. I have to trim them down slightly or buy aftermarket sliders. It’s not bad enough to cause tire damage or slider damage though

i dont think there's a wheel out there that looks better than the fuel beasts on jeeps, goddamn.
You did a better job in some professionals on describing a Gladiator. That is the cleanest jeep I’ve ever seen. And I keep mine clean.
Is yours black? I wanted to get a black one but I heard the black is hard to take care of and keep clean.
U got my favorite rims also such a nice good taste jeep
Wait! You were able to get the max tow package on a Rubicon?
The Rubicon comes with a 4.10 rear axle as standard equipment, but its maximum towing capacity is limited to 7,000 pounds.
very nice
Are those rims the dark tint finish or black? I just purchased a Jeep gladiator and love the fuel beast!
They're black machined dark tint FYI they show metallic when scratched. I've got a few nicks and scratches from rocks off-roading but that is to be expected, especially with the larger wheel size.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast awesome, thanks bro I just wasn’t sure how Bronze they appear
Nice truck
Good luck with the payments!!!
That had to set you back at least 65,000. Very nice upgrades👍
Thanks 👍
What is your wheel spec?
How is the power with 37's?
Power is great with 37's, I love the 8 speed automatic transmission. No need to re-gear either, I would upgrade the lift and axles before I would spend the money to re-gear the Dana 44's.

Oh yeah! Nice! It never ends but that's all part of the fun, making it your own!
How talll is it? Will it fill in you garage?
Mine is 76” tall and can fit in my garage
Beautiful jeep. Nice tire wheel combo.
Thanks!
Great looking truck and I like your up grades also. I'm getting a silver one in 2 weeks.
Congrats! You're going to love it!

13.5" wide

Do you have any idea what angle tpms sensors these wheels use? I need them for my tacoma
My new gladiator diesel will be ready next week :)- time is going bye sooo slow right now
What are the exact size of the fuel beast rims.
20x12

Can you tell me the wheel specs I’m trying to see if I want to run 20s or 18s
20x12 are the wheel specs
Thanks for watching! Gonna do another review with more upgrades soon
What lift do you have?
The Mopar 2" lift with 2.5" Fox Shocks was the first lift available for the Gladiator. Dealership warranty covers up to 4.5" lift, I plan to go to a 4.5" lift when I can.
What’s the side of the rims and tires
Does it fit in your garage??
I converted my garage into a man-cave/living space so I'm not sure if it fits in my garage lol I park it outside, I ordered a cab cover for it to protect it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. I can’t wait to build my own house or buy one with land. I want a large garage.
Thing of beauty. Where do you get the bed rails?
The Mopar Trail Rail system came on the Launch Edition Gladiator, it is a factory option you can get them from Mopar at your Jeep dealership or online. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Did your wheel and tire setup rub?
Slight rub on the stock Rubicon rock sliders at full crank. Remedied with DV8 rock slider upgrade, so no rubbing at all anymore.
20x10 -44 offset? Wheel specs
20x12 -44 offset had to replace the stock Rubicon rock sliders though so there is no rub.
