Trip Report Moab Rim solo in the Gladiator!

Quick trip to Moab, wanted to see how the recent suspension, wheel & tire changes worked on the Moab Rim trail. I had ran it previously on 37's and it was challenging, both the Devils Crack and Z Turn caused me a bit of trouble at that time.

The 3.5" of suspension lift and 39's made a massive difference in capability, I still dragged the hitch and bumper in the Devils Crack, but it wasn't nearly as bad. Going back down was straight forward as well.

Great time on such a fun trail!

Pics look great! I've been itching to go with 39's instead of my 37's. You may have said somewhere else but are you running the stock axles are have you upgraded them? I have to replace my tires in the spring and may go that route.

All I've done to the stock axles was add a truss to the front and regear to 5.13's. Still running factory shafts, joints, ball joints, TRE's etc.

The link in the first post to the upgrades details the truss.

If you want bigger tires, I'd start shopping now and get your name on a wait list. Due to supply issues, it's difficult to get *any* large tires these days. I got lucky finding my KM3's from John Williams @ Impulse Offroad.

I didn't even notice the link. I was too busy looking at the pics :) I'll have to talk to the wife about getting something on order.
