Jeep Gladiator Review- The Good, Bad, & What I Changed Immediately 

You are by far my favorite person who did a review on the Gladiator! You were fair and honest. Also your 19 minute video felt as if were shorter than that because you got straight to the point. Other videos that were half the size of yours felt as if I were binge watching on Netflix!

Heyo, just got the overland, looking forward to making it mine! thanks for the review and guidance!

Thanks for sharing. This video is the first one I've seen that mentions the fender flares can be separated. Great content!

I did the exact same changes to my Gladiator. Love this truck!

Great review man, thanks! My family and I want that exact one!

Thanks for this review. I’m a recent Owner of a Gladiator Rubicon and found this quite helpful. You might consider a Video for those of us new to off roading to explain the specific features that the Rubicon offers.

Great review and video. You obviously have experience with other brands of off road vehicles. I like what you are doing, keep it up!

Great vid, really liking your Gladiator content, I’m planning on getting one, hopefully soon. With regards to the steering twitchiness some are experiencing (especially on JTs with a lift & bigger tires), it is likely a too-weak front track-bar mount. Synergy makes a beefier surround mount that corrects this issue.

Watched this while waiting for 35x12.5 BFG AT's to be installed on my JTR. I was a little startled that the things you added right away mapped very closely to my choices, except I ordered the factory bed rail kit so I can run a cargo net. Not much rain in California, so a tonneau is overkill REALLY agree about the shock valving being off. We named our truck Tigger because it is happy and bouncy!

Excellent video. Very well spoken. Love the gator green. Would love to get a Willy's or Mojave in gator green.

awesome review

I love the video! I am planning on purchasing a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon in gator green. I have been going over the factory options. The one option that isn't listed is the option for a winch. Also there is an option that requires you to the LED lights which I would rather not have to get! Anyway I love your setup! I am looking forward to getting mine!!!

Nice vid and nice Jeep! It's just called Gator here in Canada, not sure about in the US. I heard it was originally supposed to be called Gator Green but since it looks more brown than green they changed the name. It actually falls under the beige category with Gobi according to the Mopar parts dept here (and in person I can see why). Either way closest thing to actual green they sell it in yet!

Subscribed, greetings from The Netherlands. I own a Jeep gladiator rubicon, bought it in Canada because it is not available in Europe

I was driving yesterday behind a basic looking semi truck and trailer hauling gravel, and they had all LED lights. These car mfg. selling LED lights as an expensive upgrade peeves me. But seems everything he didn't like was just personal preference to customize it, which is good.

I enjoyed watching your Gladiator review, I have an Overland Gladiator and you mentioned hunting for a gear and shift points which I seem to feel when going thru my residential neighborhood at speeds not over 28mph it feels like it doesn't shift smoothly. I am wondering if its a normal auto transmission feel, Thanks Rick I also intend to buy the roll up bed cover.

I used 3/16 silicone fish tank air hose. You can get in different colors

I’ve got a Mohave. There’s no problem with rear suspension.

Very nice video...thx

I like the subtle mods. Curious you didnt opt to get the 11.5" wide trail/ridge grapplers? Perfect for the stock Rubicon wheels.

I wanted to ask about the truck bed cover, could you ping me the link. I am so excited about getting one. My car is on the clock! Haha

Put 35 tires on my auto jk , trans went out about 55,000 miles . Traded it in for the gladiator, love it . Will not make the same mistake twice , will put in 4.56 before going to 35 tires . Love Jeep ! Learned that proper gearing is the way to go .I got hooked on lift it big tires

Great reviews, always really enjoy your videos. You have a very nice style and just do a great job. Couple months ago I picked up a new Gladiator Sport S. I found a set of new Wrangler Rubicon take offs, 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak MT that I put on my Sport S. I shouldn't have to recalibrate my speedo or anything like that for this mod do you think? I believe these are pretty much the same size as the stock Gladiator Rubicon tires. Also did your Gladiator have any issues with the steering on it, the wandering between the white lines? Mine is terrible, I'm all over the place. Fortunately I ran across the videos where folks are installing the Synergy front track & sector shaft brace which seems to fix the wandering. So I will be adding that shortly. Just was curious if you had the same problem or not. Thanks again for outstanding RU-vid content.

Keep an eye on your rear axle seals leaking. Have a 21 rubi with 252 miles on it , both sides are leaking.

2:12 Strangely enough with my Line-X bedliner stuff DOES NOT stay put. Whatever is in the back always ends up at the front of the bed when I get home.

I enjoyed your review, thank you. I have a 2020 gladiator Rubicon as well. I currently have 35‘s on it and was thinking about going to a 37 inch Ridge Grappler. Did you need to re-gear your JL? Why did you go with a 35 over the37’s for the gladiator? Thanks again.

If you had to keep one between JL and JT which one would you keep

I currently have a Jk and Ram 2500. The wife has a JL. it is time to do something with the JK. I keep going back and forth between JL and a JT. We absolutely love having the top off. My wife calls the Jeep my sanity. I'm nervous the JT won't have the same same effect. We are out on forest roads at least 3 days a week. What are the driving and handling difference between the JL and the JT? What one do you prefer to just get in for driving and fun and why. BTW if I get a JT I will most likely wait for the diesel. I forgot to mention. I have a big Labrador that rides everywhere with me. The way the back seats fold are weird, not really up and not really down. I'm would probably do a partial rear seat delete to give the dog someplace to ride.

You should get a bestop sunrider roof

Thank you for this video. Do you know if a Gladiator does not come with blind spot monitoring and you get new tail lights with it. Can the system be updated to run them?

Awesome, I appreciate the review. I just purchased a sport S . I could pick up a rubicon Kit from someone who removed it. Do you recommend this rubicon lift kit with 33 inch tires? I can get it all for 1300

i love your Jeep

Traded my ZR2 for a Gobi Rubicon, and haven;t looked back!!

I'm interested in the heavy tow package. I understand it's not available on the Rubi. But if I'm willing to wait, I can get the 4.10 gears and even add the fenders that come on the Rubicon. Do you know if that's accurate? Thanks for the revue.

Nice review. I know it’s a Jeep and comes with the territory, but is the wind noise a problem with the freedom top? On longer trips does it ever get irritating or do you sort of just get used to it?

Needs more power. Holding out for the Bronco truck because of the ecoboost.

Thanks for the great review. I just purchased a Mojave Edition in the same color and love it! Question...do you notice any rubbing with the 35's and no lift when off-roading?

Baby shit green 😂 Love it

Hi may I check that your 35s do they stick out past the fender flares? Thank you!

I love it

Love the color. Is the Gladiator rear seat, leg room bigger than the JLU?

I finally made a video about my new 2020 Gladiator Rubicon... I love this thing! 👍🏻🤘🏻 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9dGovIgzULY.html

hey did you feel the V6 is underpowered for that gladiator set up?

Do you need spacers with the original wheels and to also Put the 37 tires

Most 35/12.5/17 tire mfgs state 8.5in wide wheel... I like my stock JT wheels and don't really want any "poke" . What are the concerns/disadvantages of running a narrower wheel....Thanks

"baby shit brown" like the description :)

Hi congrats !!! can you tell me how much you paid for the Gladiator ?

Why was the check engine light on?

You look like you are driving at Cape Lookout or Cape Hatteras!

Where did you get the stubby antenna

Hi I would like to know more about the engine and transmission on this gladiator

Wow amazing looking! What’s the offset

Link to the antenna? Thanks 😊

I'm just going to say, my white gladiator ALWAYS looks dirty because the rubber seals drool black residue everywhere...

What area of NC are you in ?

I got a Gladiator sport with max tow last month...I wonder if I could do 35x12.5 tires? Nice ride.

How are tires doing being out of spec with the wheels debating on doing the same? Thanks in advance.

Any chance you would like to sell those wheels?

you know what they say about snows cut park

Was that Uwharrie at 16:36? If so, what trail was that?

I subscribed as soon as I heard you say baby shit brown

Ali how’ve you been man?

Baby shit green lol

Them tires are just waiting to eat that front Bumper.

THE "Weak Link" KILLER for the Gladiator (IMO) is that lousy, terrible "ESS" MOTORCYCLE battery hidden out-of-site and a real PAIN to replace, found UNDER the Power Ditribution/fuse box. Absolutely horrible design. Had mine fail twice within a month. GOODBYE Gladiator.

So many people buy these loaded jeeps to look cool. Jeep trucks look atrocious
