Let's knock out a couple of the most important Jeep Gladiator Mods! 5.13 Yukon ring and pinions, axle trusses and even some super easy brake upgrades!
Here is a video on how to select your own ring and pinion ratios.

Don't listen to randoms dudes on the internet that will tell you what gear ratios to run (That includes me). Learn how to choose these ratios for yourself with the calculator I use in the video Linked above.
For me, this was a no brainer. I started by calculating my RPM with the stock tire size and ring and pinion ratio at 70mph (normal HWY speed). Then I consider what the added demand is on the truck after all of my other mods. 39" tires, heavy bumpers and a ton of gear. This will require more power to the wheels to get the same performance as stock, so I increase the RPM to meet the demand and make it easier for the engine to turn the tires with deeper gears. I will also be towing a trailer, so this calls for even deeper gears. The higher the numerical value, the more power is transferred to the wheels and the higher the RPM of the engine. Engines need fuel to make power and they need air to digest this fuel. More RPM makes the engine burn more fuel more efficiently (within peak efficiency range) and the increase in RPM spins my water pump faster giving my truck a better ability to cool when under a load. Since these mods, when I'm driving around town my MPG has gone up but, on the HWY, it has stayed the same when empty. BUT is definitely higher when towing.
In stock form the gladiator was at 1781rpm at 70mph with a 3.73 and a 33.
With 39's and a 5.13 I'm at 2073 rpm at 70 and driving the truck feels almost effortless. It requires barely any throttle to get up to speed and is an absolute pleasure to drive!
It's only 292 RPM higher than stock and what a difference in performance!
But don't take my word for it, learn how to calculate this stuff yourself and how to choose the best gear ratio for YOUR 4x4.
I hope this video helps and I hope you enjoyed it!
