Time to test the Gladiator and see what it can really do on the rocks. This is a lot more interesting and challenging trail than we did the first time we took the Gladiator on 37s out so this will be a great test and way to find the limits!

Monkey, you are becoming LEGENDARY on the trail. Oh, and as always I gave Justine a thumbs up for looking great in her Fabletics!

@Juice4meplz 2 месяца назад

I LOVE those tires, i have a set myself and really really enjoy them off and on road.

@off-roadingexplained8417 11 месяцев назад

37s is great on a gladiator but from what I've seen you have to achieve about 4 to 6 in of ride height increase to be decent on a gladiator. The rule of thumb that I'm kind of figuring out is that you basically need at least 30 approach 30 departure and 30 break over... To hit 30° break over on the Gladiator it's got to go up 4 to 6 in. So it means a two-door with a 2-in lift and 32s is about the same (breakover angle) as a gladiator with like a 4-in lift and 37s. So,a Gladiator with a 4 inch lift and 37s about the same as a four-door Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon, or a stock Land Rover Defender. , Or an FJ with a 2-in lift and a little bit bigger tires.

Ya I totally agree. I have a two door tj on 33s and 2.5 lift and it has the same clearance more or less. I’m planning to do a 3.5-4 inch lift of the gladiator soon

@johnmadsen37 11 месяцев назад

I’m running a 2.5 aev kit. 38x13.5x17. Besides motorcycle jumps, it does everything.

Now time for the Anson trail after the lift. Still have the jitters after doing the Anson trail north with my Tacoma and a 1 inch lift.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 месяцев назад

Lmao I know you’ve been telling me. I did it in my stock TJ 3 years ago but we didn’t do the entire thing

@useryggfdcc 10 месяцев назад

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Excellent video you did. I'm surprised the water levels are so low. If the rocks are covered by water they look way less intimidating. After the winter I want to do the Scotts line again.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 месяцев назад

@useryggfdcc thanks man! Definitely my favourite trail

@moto-rollin 11 месяцев назад

That thing is a beast! Can't imagine what its going to be like when you're done setting it up!

@SmokinMonkeyOG 11 месяцев назад

I honestly can’t wait for the lift kit lol

@BillyBennecke 11 месяцев назад

@SmokinMonkeyOG it don't take much of a lift. After 2.5 lift and 37s, I haven't turtled since.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 11 месяцев назад

Planning to do 3.5 - 4 inch. My buddy has that and he still hits the bottom on rocks out here on the trails we do

@BillyBennecke 11 месяцев назад

@SmokinMonkeyOG where the hydrolic bumps tops on the Mojave come in. They got 'em front, but boy that bed is hopping all over the place up whoops and down divits. While I plan on hydrolics in back (currently just plastic bumps) I also recently saw a bed stabilizer I want to investigate. I'm still finding reason to slow down...

@frankconsidine5989 11 месяцев назад

@SmokinMonkeyOG 11 месяцев назад

Yup lol

@frankconsidine5989 11 месяцев назад

@SmokinMonkeyOG yeah i need some for my jlu

@SmokinMonkeyOG 11 месяцев назад

I’ve seen some really nice sets out there but they are not cheap

@frankconsidine5989 11 месяцев назад

@SmokinMonkeyOG Yeah, that is why i have waited.

@BobNob1 11 месяцев назад

I used to take a libby through that trail, it sure has been torn up now

@SmokinMonkeyOG 11 месяцев назад

Most trails change year to year from the melt after the winter and rain storms and other weather that erodes the trails. Not always people tearing it up, not saying it doesn’t happen

I’m deciding between buying a new 2023 jeep gladiator or 2023 Toyota 4Runner, I like the cool factor of the jeep gladiator but then I like the reliability factor of the 4runner, I think both are very capable 4x4 trucks and both have huge after market support for mods. I just really don’t know which would be a better purchase if I plan on keeping it for 10-15 years minimum.

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 месяцев назад

Personally, I think that either of those will last you a long time as long as you keep up on your maintenance and treat the vehicle like you’re supposed to. I wouldn’t have purchased the Gladiator if I didn’t think it would last me a long time as well. Course Toyotas are more reliable. No one will argue that, but I think as long as you keep up on maintenance and take care of the vehicle well you’ll be able to keep any of those as long as you want.

@NCblue95 10 месяцев назад

@@SmokinMonkeyOG thanks for replying do you think the gladiator will hold resale value just as well ?

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 месяцев назад

@NCblue95 I think it will, they have been so far and jeeps in general have a really good resale value. Look at some used jeep postings it’s actually nuts how much they go for

@johnmcwade222 11 месяцев назад

Is t it nice having 4:10 gears and a 4:1 transfer case to make it easy.
