BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon

[wayoflife]

As some of you know, it's been snowing like crazy today and as you can guess, Cindy and I decided to use the opportunity to take Bandit out on his very first time out in the white stuff. And, for better or for worse, we did this earlier this morning and before the Sierra Cement got really deep and slick.

WooHoo - KMC KM236 Tank beadlock wheels in anthracite and black just came in

 

[Brute]

They are sharp looking...are these the first dark colored wheels you've bought?

As in wheels and rings? Because, we've run plenty of black wheels in the past only with silver rings. That said, JET ran Tanks in black wheels and rings.

My old TJ back in the day had all black wheels too.

And so did my CJ-7

Going to stick with MT's or going with something else since Bandit is a "work" truck?

Actually, we've been going with Ridge Grapplers a lot lately and while they are technically a hybrid tire, they're more of an all terrain than anything. That said, we'd really like to make this Gladiator into a more all around Jeep, one that we can use to get work done and still take out and play with. That is why we got it as a Rubicon and not a Sport. Anyway, this time around, I think we'll be getting Mud Terrains

Going to look good!

Thanks! I think so too. They're what we originally wanted for JET but that was back during the plandemic and everything was hard to come by.

 

[OverlanderJK]

Those will look good!

Definitely fitting with Bandit's black accents. Excited to see them mounted!

Woot MT's, haha Im such a MT whore tho. I cant help it, never liked AT's always thought they were too girlie.

That’s gonna be nice. Those are the wheels/colors I wanted in 2021 along with 37’s but all that was made of unobtainium at the time.

I was looking at them when I started ordering new ones for mine, but everywhere I looked showed them on back order so I went with the same ones you got for Jet

 

[jeeeep]

I took a hard look at those for the JLU but my inner

has a thing for machined.

The anthracite looks really nice, that's the color I was expecting from the titanium wheels I bought based on the photos but they had a horrible green cast to them.

I was looking at these today trying to decide on wheels and color options for my Sarge green. I dont know if i want to stay with basic black or introduce another color like bronse or anthracite. Cant wait to see these mounted up!

Be brave! There is no reason to stay with "basic black" or any other shade of asphalt! In fact wheels can be painted any color!

Awesome wheels. But do you need beadlocks for stock tires.
