When applying Thread locking compound, 1. clean the threads (make sure they are not contaminated with any residues) 2. Use the correct type of thread locker compound. (RED - "Large Diameter Bolt") 3. apply thread locker to the entire surfacer of the bolt, (not just a line or a dab) make sure the entire bolt is covered

I have been running 37" Hankook Dynapro XT on my Gladiator that were installed during covid. I am in AZ and never had them in snow. Extreme heat, rock, sand, and dust have all been ok to very good. I have towed a small trailer to the Canadian border and back. The tires were great and we had no concerns. I had the Wilpeaks before and really liked them but again no experience with snow.

@leemen Месяц назад

Great video. The honesty with sponsors on this was so good. I think the gladiator is the best overlanding option. It not perfect by no means but it’s the most capable in my opinion. I also went from the 2 drawer decked ti the single. I hated the single drawer and missed the 2 drawer for about a month of solid use. I now prefer the single drawer. Metal cloak for the win! Looking forward to part 2

I like your build; I'm running a Mojave rig currently. I will agree that the gladiator really needed a dead pedal. I added the Quadratec dead pedal with the pad and it is excellent, makes a huge difference for long drives. It's not cheap, but well worth it.

Congratulations on the baby!!! If you think you know what love is…just wait! Also…for baby gear…you’ll figure it out as you go. It’s a little like overlanding…some minimum requirements (car seat, stroller, onesies, bottles, diapers, etc). From there what you “need” is totally subjective. Will be exciting to watch the family. Congrats again!

@cdienzo Месяц назад

Been watching since your first vid. Congrats! As a relatively new dad (an old one) to pandemic-era irish twins (3 & 4), I can confidently tell you that no matter what you learn in advance, it's always gonna be on-the-job training. Be confident in your knowledge and abilities, master the art of diaper changing & swaddling. Consistent routine is the way. When things seem to be going sideways, be mindful of and maybe rethink your expectations & strive to be fair. Y'all got this.

I do appreciate your honesty with the aspects of each product that you like and don't like, whether purchased or donated, and whether you would purchase it yourself. As for you exploring the overlanding lifestyle in a Rivian, I would love to see what you do with an R1T. I myself am slowly working my own R1T towards an overland build, having finally pulled the trigger on an Xtrusion Overland bed rack for mounting my RTT. Would love to see what you would do!

@WolfOverland Месяц назад

I have a nightmare story on the fuel pump recall. Video soon. It’s a catch 22 to release a video on that. I hear you on the overheat issue. I have not been pulled over yet with overheating but it’s above my confidence level. I’m hoping the regear to 4.56 helps with my 37s. Doing that in a few weeks. Agree with terraflex on the steering. I swapped my metalcloak for terraflex. Good reason.

Very informative video! I essentially have the exact same platform and camping setup as you, minus the diesel engine. What camper do you think you will upgrade to next? I have seen quite a few people transition to the Super Pacific...

@pepesilvia4564 Месяц назад

Rivian R1T Quad motor owner here, I can tell you we got this truck thinking it would be a great added challenge (the EV part) to our camping/overlanding adventures. It has been an amazing vehicle, absolutely solid and reliable (unlike our Rubicon), but after 4 trips we realized we just don't have the stomach to tolerate the risk of damaging a $110k truck. Absolutely fantastic vehicle though, highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it (get the full PPF, is totally worth it).

@siebitup Месяц назад

I regret not getting full PPF on my GX. I had the hood, front bumper and wheel fairings done, but the doors are where I've gotten the stripes on both sides. I'm hesitant to cut/polish as the clear is probably pretty thin. Ah well. Next vehicle will get it.

@chrisE815 Месяц назад

What's broken on your Rubicon?

@pepesilvia4564 Месяц назад

@@chrisE815 Unfortunately we were one of those unlucky ones that had the fuel rail issue in our diesel one. Covered under warranty, went back literally 3 months later due to a particulate sensor (another common issue apparently). 6 months later went back and forth with dealer for a check engine light, they ended up replacing the catalytic converter. Our final issue was in one of our trips the brake master cylinder went out WHILE driving, which was scary. That was the final straw. Mind you, all of this happened under 18k miles, we bought it new and while everything was covered under warranty, our Gladiator sat in the dealership for about 7 months total between all these repairs. Loved the truck when it worked, but awful reliability.

Justin, at some point, can you talk about dust abatement into the bed of the truck? I run a Harker EDC on a Gladiator and have plugged many ports in the bed. I still have to figure out how to plug the giant holes behind the mount loops near the tailgate. I have sealed the tailgate hinge as well, but I still get a noticeable amount of dust in the living space of the bed. Any thoughts or experience you have would be quite helpful. Thanks!

You made the right choice with the Gladiator. It can out wheel any other truck. Built from the factory for off roading. You should watch Dirt Lifestyle’s comparison with the Toyota. He owns both. Me and my 2 sons all own Wranglers and we haven’t had a single issue. The problem with reliability reports is that Jeeps are takin places that other vehicles don’t go. So of course sometimes you’re going to break stuff. I haven’t but you can

@Pantovinator Месяц назад

Echo your bumper woes. I purchased mine about two years ago and love it to death, follows the body line beautifully. HOWEVER. The install was atrocious, for 4k you’d think holes would align and not to mention on boron steel-good luck drilling through that with ease. After maybe 12 hours mguyvering half the bumper together I got it to work. No regrets, but shameful from AEV.

@waxifari5528 Месяц назад

Yeah that shower cube is no bueno. My dirt cheap Overland Pros cube at least has fiberglass tent-like poles so that it keeps a square shape at the floor without added weight.

@jswandog Месяц назад

I believe this as much as I do your "reviews" of the Colorado 4x4 RTTS you did a while back. Gave high praise, got a spot on their website, making everyone think you are a bar of some sort for this thing, got paid, and never used them again. So many of these guys that started off humble have very much lost their way, and it's really sad.

@JustinBMcBride Месяц назад

Sorry you feel that way. I’m not trying to be deceptive to any viewer. What benefit would that have to you? None. The 4X4 Colorado videos on their website are 100% paid overviews of their product. More of an endorsement/overview and not a review. If they titled them as reviews, that is their own decision and not mine. 4x4 Colorado imports some of the more innovative tent ideas right now. They have flaws, weight being the largest. I think the average weight of their tents is pushing 200 pounds. The next is their standard mattress. It’s awful and immediately needs to be replaced with their knockoff Xped, a Hest, or even a bag of rocks to be more comfortable. The team is a solid group of humans, they’ve been easy to work with in that they don’t require me to run their tents to talk about them. iKamper on the other hand refuses to talk to me because I have a GFC on the truck. I’m sorry your perspective of me is so negative. I’m not here to swindle anybody. But if you disagree with me that strongly, there is little I can do to change it at this point.

@@JustinBMcBrideSorry I don't. I heard that from the local Jeep build shop. They were quite certain about it, but they did say it was in the fine print.

If you’re not into EVs, that’s fine, but if you’re into adventure and travel, it shouldn’t matter what I drive. This will be a major focus shift in the coming year on the channel. Cars are neat, but fleeting. And constantly playing with what I drive to appease trends and the algorithm isn’t healthy.

Justin I’m sure you’re getting a lot of hate for your sponsorships. (Hence all the disclaimers). If people don’t know by now it’s just how this content is made. I come here to see the trails and get ideas for my build. Keep up the hard work providing for your family and don’t worry about the haters. I’m a big gear nerd too and if I had the chance to “try” so many cool products I would jump on it. As it is I’m content with my ground tent and gas money for the time being. Hopefully some day we’ll cross paths and have a cold one around a campfire and talk about cool gear. Until then keep posting I love the content sponsored or not 👍🏻

You had gone missing for a month and then a month again… I used to love your videos but it seems you came back with a real negative attitude. There’s a fine line between realism and pessimism. I hope you start climbing towards positive vibes! This could be a reason why your newer videos aren’t being viewed so much. You seem like you’re doing this as a job and for the free stuff, not because you LOVE it.

So is this comment real or pessimistic? I think you’re right though, I talk about this in a video I’m editing right now. But so much of what I do has become about what I’m driving and not where I’m going. Trip videos tank on my channel, so videos like this are work. These are the ones that pay the bills. It’s not about free stuff, it’s about feeding my family. Do you ever have days that you don’t want to go into work but you need to? Me too, even with creating RU-vid content. No about my absence, we had a baby! 😀 That has been a big reason for limited releases and reposting of older deleted videos.

You can have that ugly EV thingy all day long. I'll keep my Jeep.

@JustinBMcBride Месяц назад

The only thing ugly here is your attitude.

@neostephens8980 Месяц назад

@@JustinBMcBride Just a personal preference dude - calm down. I didn't say you were ugly, just that truck is ugly. Just b/c someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean they are being ugly, but that is the attitude of most RU-vidrs these days. Enjoy your ugly truck and your ugly ego.

@@TylerOstergaard they're lighter than my Tundra, so if a Rivian will do it, so will my truck.

@@RevereOverland it seems like guardrails are set to stop 5000 pounds and the rivian r1t is 7000 plus all the extras we like to put on them. the video showing the crash test is called "Rivian R1T crash-tested against guardrail" some are speculating that having the weight lower down is causing issues with the batterys but hard to say if that makes a big deal or not seems more like they need to update the standards with quardrails to deal with heavier cars and trucks
