When it rains, it pours? It definitely poured at Overland Expo West, and that wasn't even the worst of my problems on this trip. The Jeep Gladiator broke down catastrophically TWICE on this 2 week trip. It was definitely an adventure.

@paulhasty8388 Год назад

I was considering a V8 conversion but with all the trouble your having maybe it's simpler to stay with V6 because once the warranty is up all the problems would be out of my pocket and I like my Gladiator because it's dependable the way it is!

@TheStoryTillNow Год назад

The engine is warrantied

@paulhasty8388 Год назад

@@TheStoryTillNow That's not the point the engine is no good without the transmission and transfer case so if that powerful engine destroys the transmission and transfer case your still stuck and no where. Is the engine installer going to warranty the rest of the drive train so your not out of pocket for repairs? What about once the warranty is up? How many miles have you driven since the install? How hard have you been driving the daylights out of it? I'm not rich!

@crappycoversfromthecan1566 Год назад

Maybe it has nothing to do with it (but prolly does) but I've never understood why the youtube offroad community swaps out there stock engines for 600hp hemi's. Can't help but think that all that power is hard on drivetrain and for a vehicle that's designed to go slow over rough terrain...the only people you're impressing with that engine are the posers on youtube and the guys at the local cars and coffee. I can't help but thing that the stock engine and drivetrain would not have left you stranded... Sweet truck though!

@gainesj1 Год назад

I love the Trail Destroyer as a build concept. Unfortunately, not being able to drive 300 miles without 15 extra gallons of fuel + a platform that was not actually designed for the amount of torque and horsepower consistantly delivered... keeps it just a really cool concept. Almost like a SEMA build, where the vehicles would break if you actually tried to drive them. Let's just say that there will be plenty of the "I broke the Trail Destroyer... Again" type videos....

It wasn't a disaster. A trip that doesn't go as planned isn't comfortable, but that's what makes it an adventure. Beware moving to low lands (by the river) to avoid a desert storm. A flash flood can come without warning.

His family adapted to help in this situation, which I'm sure must have been difficult while traveling with a small child. Shaun, nicely done troubleshooting and problem solving both significant breakdowns. I was pretty shocked that in a couple of days, the trail destroyer was on its way to the next event. I'm sure by now you've got a resolution on the transmission issue. I'm looking forward to seeing the next video with that information. I'm sure EPIC will want to take a close look at the truck and AMW will likely want to get some feedback as well. Sincerely, what a flippin' awesome video.

I’ve really thought about those two models to really consider this year. Thanks and amazing video!!!

@phlfly10 Год назад

wow guys you don't have recovery boards ? seriously ? not professional, but lots breaks during it's terrible. I had situation the my Titan XD diesel engine failed in Upper Penn, 20 miles both way from any village and no cell service. Nice people stopped and help with tow truck. Then provided car for few days. Engine wa replaced by Nissan, after 600 bucks towing to main land MI, 10K engine and 4 K in labor and airline ticket for pick.

@Captain-Awesome Год назад

If you want more subscribers don’t change much but be more positive. Think 4WD Action kind of positive. I am a subscriber. For instance who cares why the Jeep barely fit, focus that you have it loaded and on your way. Maybe kinda joke about the missing ramp but you are a badass that used a spare for a ramp! Just constructive criticism. Your video editing is amazing, your story telling is great, your video work is amazing!

@at20rule Год назад

Jeep people, they have lights that shine a mile ahead at night but can only go 10 MPH on the washboard roads lol (I'll let you do the math). I will never understand these DOLTS!!! NEVER wheel with jeep people or former jeep people because you'll be fixing and towing their garbage all trip.

@mrdale8820 Год назад

Well, unfortunately you have proven why I finally left any and all Jeep vehicles. Seriously the biggest pile of junk there is. I'd bet that Tundra ( even though it's the latest gen), will have far fewer issues than the Gladiator. No matter how much money, and quality parts I threw at them, every single Jeep left me stranded somewhere. It is not a matter of "if, but "when". I remained loyal for many years, but I just could not take having a vehicle that I could never relax and enjoy the journey, but continually waited for the inevitable break down. Of course Jeeps are "cool", but seriously? Besides that, a breathtaking video, as usual!

@albertl3776 Год назад

So what was learned after spending 45 minutes of my life. Well I don't know why the aftermarket shaft broke. Do not know if modern Jeeps have a transmission flaw . Didn't learn anything important, just names of sponsors. Oh maybe buy a Toyota for more reliable overlanding. Jeep failed on the highway. Disgusting. 2013 jku owner 120k miles and crossing fingers.
