Beadlocks For The Wrangler JL.
The JL is the world's default rock platform, and it rewards a proper beadlock more than any other vehicle here — because crawling is where single-digit tyre pressure stops being optional.

The Wrangler JL runs a 5x127 bolt pattern (5x5") with a 71.5mm hub bore, and the Dakar Forged JL fitment matches both exactly: 17x8.5, drilled 5x127, bored 71.5mm hub-centric — the wheel seats on the hub itself, not just the studs.
The -38 offset is a deliberate, aggressive spec. It pushes the wheel outboard for full tyre clearance at lock and maximum track width on off-camber terrain — the stance serious JL rock builds run. Expect the tyres to sit proud of the flares; plan trimming or aftermarket flares accordingly, and note that wider track increases steering feedback on the road.
On rock, the Crawler is the natural choice: open spokes clear debris and the hardened lock ring takes ledge strikes so the barrel doesn't. Aired down to 8–10 psi, a beadlocked 37 wraps terrain instead of bouncing off it.
The Wrangler JL uses a 5x127 bolt pattern (5x5") with a 71.5mm hub bore. This carries over to the Gladiator JT, so the Dakar Forged JL fitment applies to the Gladiator as well.
17x8.5 with a -38 offset, drilled 5x127 and bored 71.5mm hub-centric. The -38 offset is an aggressive, wide-track spec — tyres will sit outboard of the factory flares.
Yes, with appropriate lift (2.5 inches and up) and clearance work. The -38 offset gives the tyre room at full lock; flare coverage and trimming depend on your build. Send your setup through the quote form and we confirm before production.
With a true mechanical beadlock, 8–10 psi is common for technical crawling. Without a beadlock, pressures that low risk rolling the tyre off the rim.
