Why Did I Sell My 2021 Diesel Jeep Gladiator Rubicon? 

Yeah I have 37’s on my 18 JLUR and love it. I won’t go with 40’s again on a daily. Doesn’t make sense. Especially with the price of 40’s in today’s market! Appreciate you watching!

Yeah unfortunately mine was one that had issues! Was still a blast while I had it!

@@MaxOverland looking forward to your new videos, I'm still trying to learn the video and editing aspect. You make it look easy, but I know it's not.

@@GrayBeardoffroad I appreciate the support! Ill Check your channel out! Honestly ive been at it for 5 years now. So i sucked in the beginning and still feel like i suck lol. Just keep learning on youtube and trying different stuff.

I still love the diesel. The I’ve owned lots of wranglers. Now that I’m back in a full-size truck. I’m never going back to a mid-size. I’ll get a wrangler and build the crap out of it.

The great thing about Jeep is if you end up not liking something you can trade it in for something else, or rather sell it.. I have a Mustang so if I bought a Gladiator gas / diesel / whatever and I don't like it I can probably sell it and get back probably most of what I paid for it and then buy something else. Coz that's my thing I dunno whether I wanna get gas or diesel or even I have been thinking maybe Wrangler might be good. I really want the truck but will I not really use it / want it after I get it. and I think my endgame is to get a Patriot camper to tow to use for Overlanding.. that way I can keep the truck bed bare and not have tons of weight on it and I can .... "run through the dunes" anytime I want without having to take all this shizz off the truck. heh :)

Yeah I agree with you, when you go to 40s Drivability goes down substantially. I mean you can’t judge the when you but 40s on. Any truck other then maybe a 3500 with suffer.

It’s definitely going to be red and black! I can’t wait for that day! It’s going to be epic!

I was in that same boat. The new wrangler was much cheaper and I bought instead of leasing.

I can’t tell if your being sarcastic or not? Lol 😆

The only vehicle I ever had to force a lemon law on was a 2017 4 runner TRD pro. I liked the way it looked but I found it poorly sprung, the brakes barely adequate and of course it had demons they could not exercise. I haven’t been back to the dealership besides a free oil change in my gladiator and I am not kind to it. I know this is just anecdotal but according to internet lore a black hole is supposed to form when a Jeep proves reliable and a Yota gets towed in to a dealer 3x but here we are

Yep that’s the plan! Get a wrangler with a 3.6L. Build everything up as I go. Down the road I’ll put an LS in it. I had the 3.6 in my first gladiator and my wrangler before that and liked it in both vehicles.

@@MaxOverland I wouldn’t go LS in the newer stuff, only in the TJ/LJ platform. As good as they got the 392 working in the JLs, that’s the route I’d go if swapping a new JL.

Part of me wonders if I should of dropped tire size. Just hated wheeling it on anything less that 40’s. Ended going back to a wrangler. I could on the same trails in Michigan with my old JKu on 37’s that I could on my JTR with 40’s. End of the day. I wanted back in a wrangler.

@@MaxOverland40s are cool but not as a daily driver. Truthfully you should have had two sets of tires . 40 for overloading and 35s wirh street tires for daily . I just finished the rubicon on 37. No issues. Amd it was loaded. I put metalcloak diff covers on it and I o have there 3.5 inch gamchanger. Steerarts front end and brace. Ats fox shock dampner. I think you just built it wrong. Your jeep looked cool. But made it not practical. Mine Drives great and wife drives it 20 mon to work daily and lives it too. . My jeep is on the dirtroad journey RU-vid channel. There rubicon series and there movie trip and a few others. So you can see ot how it performs. And I still average 21 mpg.

Yes sir!! What did you end up getting?

@@MaxOverland 2019 ram 1500, interior is huge on these trucks

If I ever trade my JTR for something “bigger” that can do the same job overlanding, I’d go with a Ram power wagon. It’s a bigger more powerful version of the JT imo.

Yeah sometimes you Gotta do what you Gotta do! I’m not too worried about it I’ll have an even more bad ass ride someday. What’s really sad is I’ve lost almost 20 subscribers since posting this video… It’s like thanks for slapping me guys lol

Thank you brother! That whole adult decision thing lol but I agree we are young in the future is bright! Make the hard decisions now to have whatever you want in the future.

All I needed was one person! Lol I’ll get it edited.

Yeah, hindsight 2020 kind of wish I had now.

Got 37s on my JTR. But if I ever overland full time and especially outside of the US, I’d definitely go with 35s. Just makes more sense and it’s way more realistic to run 35s if actually using it daily overlanding full time.

I have 39s on my diesel with a lot of care to keep weight down and regeared to 4.56. Depending on your need for large humans this can still be a 1-2 kid daily but I definitely would not go to 40s > 4” of lift or to beadlocks. I can still get over 24mpg the highway cruising at 70 and its at least 20% worse with 40s. The diesel is great but its a big ask to push real 40s I may try some baja boss 37s and swap tires for trips but overall I still love driving it every time

No the rubicon will clear 35’s stock. Shouldn’t need anything unless you put the wrong off-set rims on.

That is for sure the plan!

That was going to be my plan too! The urge to build a “toy” was too strong to keep such an expensive truck. If I was rich sure! lol but let’s be real most of us are not.

Ballin on a budget my dude

While I do agree I can say from personal experience removing emissions made my last truck an even better daily now it was a Cummins and I deleted it 5k miles after I got it

Thanks boss! Anytime!

I definitely want another wrangler in a bad way. The gladiator just doesn’t work. I wanted a full size truck that can actually tow safely and then get a wrangler as a toy! Probably won’t ever buy a gladiator again.

@@MaxOverland Right now they’re not worth the money. they are too unreliable for the price, and it’s not just the jeeps my brother dodge rebel has had nothing but issues that if it weren’t under warranty he would’ve had to spend $15,000 so far in repairs since he bought his 2017 or 18 dodge rebel
