Today we are going to take our Jeep Gladiator Rubicon ECO Diesel and toss it on a set of 39" KO2s... in a day! We are going to do 100% of the work ourselves, from mounting the tires to the lift kit install and then go play around off road a little bit.
I started this build on Thursday (Thanksgiving) and was driving it offroad on Saturday with no help on the install. These trucks really are that easy! This is a great beginner project and for those of you that typically pay someone to do this kind of work, I highly recommend giving this a shot yourself! Invite a couple of buddies over or make it a father son project. The wheels and the Clayton lift kit both have very clear instructions! All this work can be done with very basic hand tools and these modifications are as straight forward as it gets.
To be clear we are going to be adding a bunch more parts in the future including a winch, regearing the axles and even welding on some trusses.

Bought a 2020 Rubicon Gladiator yesterday. I'm going to make memories packing it with my stuff and moving to Vancouver Island on the west coast.

@dozercole73 2 года назад

I’m definitely not a Jeep guy this was a great video. I’m jealous of the factor of being able to install tires that big so easy. Look forward to every Sunday with the new video. First thing I do when waking up. Happy holidays to you family.

@DirtLifestyle 2 года назад

Thanks dude! I'm jealous too lol. I've been building 4x4s for years and have never owned something this easy to modify. I never thought I would buy a new jeep because I like the old 4x4s way better but these new rigs are pretty undeniable at this point. Have a great Christmas 👊

@dozercole73 2 года назад

@@DirtLifestyle I’m Toyota the whole way here and I have 3 rigs… 1st one is about to go to 40s within next few weeks and the amount of cutting and fab that has to be done to clear them is insane. I’m interested to see what you do with the 3rd gen Tacoma. The 3rd gen, is a very much different from the second GEN, which is praised to be the best generation by far. I do like some of the new features that come with a third gen tacoma, but I’ve also heard of a lot of problems with them. Excited to see where you take all of your new toys and also what the jeep is going to be like once you are done with the work on it. Can’t wait for EJ‘s this year.

@thereissomecoolstuff 2 года назад

That's awesome that a DIY could do a kit like this. The shops charge quite a bit to install a lift. You actually showed it.

@JohnAnderson-ut6bs 2 года назад

I wheeled with a couple of gladiatiors for the first time yesterday, 2 on 37s, 1 on 40s, I'm in a TJ on 35s, about as polar opposite of a vehicle as possible, but damn if those things aren't impressive. It takes a little extra time moving that much vehicle through the rocks but they are very capable machines with very little modifications.

@PeterANewell 2 года назад

Perfect timing. After spending 9 years part swapping on my JK, I finally have it where I want it. Time for a new build, more for overlanding and daily chores but still capable of entertaining a wild left turn into the rocks. I'll pick up a 2021 Mojave in a couple weeks. I've spent months researching vehicles, options, lifts etc. Lots of info out there but not much provided in a manner like this that makes absolute sense. Looking forward to following along with your build

One of your best videos. We (including yourself) can see you skipped a lot of detail for time and viewablity. I appreciate that this was a good choice for the majority of viewers. I would have enjoyed more detail on the mounting technique of the shock reservoir, the computer reprogramming, etc. Keep up the outstanding work.

@gearlist 2 года назад

Great work as always Nate - we've been thinking of going with the mopar lift since we initially didn't see a whole lot of reviews and installs for the EcoDiesel but this build has me reconsidering. Btw that thread/bolt checker looks super handy - going to have to pick one up so I can speed up my time in the hardware store!

@gogerwi 2 года назад

Thanks Nate for the tip with the front passenger upper control arm rear bolt. I paused the install of Teraflex front control drop brackets because I didn't want to get into dismantling the intricate exhaust on my JT diesel. Hopefully they will correct caster numbers with my stock control arms.

@invictuscenturion8468 2 года назад

I also went with the Clayton lift but 2.5 with falcon shocks . Changed out the tierod and draglink to something beefier. Still waiting on gears to come in for 37’s. Love these trucks

@DirtLifestyle 2 года назад

I'm going to regear as well. Just waiting on the rear install kit and I will be good to go 👍 A gladiator on 37s is underrated lol. I borrowed one from Jeep when I was at moab in April. Super capable!

@invictuscenturion8468 2 года назад

@@DirtLifestyle I agree on the 37’s . I wont be able to get it into my garage to work on . Used to be into mustangs which were low. So we decided to move and get a bigger garage with higher ceilings. Thanks for the content by the way.

@chrisowen1492 2 года назад

I put the same lift on my Gladiator (gas) about 4 months ago. Love the lift but hated dealing with Clayton. They were off on delivery by 6 weeks and didn’t seem to care one way or the other. Love your vids brother. Keep up the good work. Your wife’s Gladiator looks sick by the. Way.

@thomascarpenter5536 2 года назад

The sensors are called TPMS sensors. Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor. I have also called them TPS sensors for so long changing that is very tough. Those are really cool wheels. I have never had normal bead locks let alone something like this. Absolutely love this channel and your content! I dream about having a shop like yours some day and learning to fabricate.

@PapaJuansPizza 2 года назад

I currently have a 3.5” piece together kit. Mines 85% on road 15% off road. I highly suggest getting a front control arm geometry kit, it makes a whole world difference, even with the shock extension and a proper length shocks. I know it makes the control arm sit a little lower but man on road it makes the JT so stable at 3.5” lift!

@michaelw2304 2 года назад

I was looking forward to this. I have the same lift and was hoping you'd touch more on setting caster, pinion angle, etc... fighting with wandering and some wobble.

@DirtLifestyle 2 года назад

Check out my 4x4 alignment video. Between that and the death wobble video you will definitely have the information you need to fix your problem 🤘

@chriswells3001 2 года назад

@somewheretoday 2 года назад

I have been waiting patiently to see which lift you chose and tire size. My wife asked what I was watching. I said Nate is modifying his Gladiator just like I want do LOL I don't have one yet, but soon just a few more payments on the JK and it will happen. I thoroughy enjoy watching your skills at fabrication and common since to make each project and problems easier. Keep up the good work.

@TireSmokin1 2 года назад

I installed this kit 2 years ago on my 2019 JL Rubicon to fit 40 inch Patagonia's. First off, great kit! A few things I did to tweak it to my liking. The front upper arms are still too short for 3.5 lift and a super soft ride IMHO. I used EVO drop brackets up front and they dropped the upper arms mounting position down 4.5 inches and the lowers down 2.5 so they both ride almost level now. That softened up the ride better then stock but changed the geometry enough the springs now needed help to keep up with what the rears were doing. Teraflex 1.5 spring spacers gave back everything the EVO brackets took away and I retained the comfy ride. That setup has been working FANTASTIC right up until last week. My front driveshaft gave up and took out the trans cooler leaving me stranded on the side of the road on fire! This happened one week after driving 2200 miles from SoCal to my new home in Tennessee. Good luck on your new family toy and please learn from my mistakes. Replace the front driveshaft! Yes, I will be using Knoxville Driveline from the Bleepin Jeeps videos. ;-)

Very cool video Nate, you make it all look so easy… Now my question is starting to shift; JL or JT. Oh and I should preface this with the really good possibility that my wife and I will be moving AZ to NM in the not so distant future. The added capabilities of an actual pickup truck vs the typical Jeep are starting to interest me. And the ease of modification is an added bonus.
