Hello! I can't believe you found me! I've rediscovered my love of the outdoors, and after some inspiration from other great adventure TH-cam channels, and picking up an interest in video editing at work, I thought I'd give this a shot for fun. I'll be messing around in my Eco-Diesel Gladiator, and recording the antics whenever possible.
I live in Nebraska where it is flatter than flat. No mountains. Not a ton of forestry. That's where the name of the channel came from. Us mid-westerners are lowlanders, but the rest of you can consider yourself lowlanders just for stopping by. Be proud, fellow and honorary lowlanders! Let's see what nature has in store for us down here, in-between the mountains and the forests.

Introducing my Eco-Diesel Jeep Gladiator. And me, I guess.
What is the reason for the video? Nothing to deliver except fluff!..
I installed it on my 2022 JLR and it is awesome for me. 2.5” lift and 35’s on my Jeep for reference.
I’m getting ready to embark on installing the AEV RT 2.5 in. lift on my EcoDiesel JT. Any tips or advice you care to offer before my journey begins? I’m nervous about fighting to remove the OEM upper control arm bolt. The instructions mention rotating the axle forward is the bolt is removed in order to angle it away from the exhaust. It also mentions lowering the exhaust too. Besides that step everything else seems pretty straight forward. BTW, are you in the Air Force and if so what is your AFSC?
That bolt is tricky for sure. I ended up using a large screwdriver as a punch and knocking it out the backside with a hammer. I’m sure it scraped some shielding a bit but it worked for me. Sadly I was not in the Air Force, but thank you for serving!
First time viewer & this is a year old or more at this point but i can't believe the laziness 😅 willing to do all this with but yet taped of the lock down lever vs removing it which would have ben faster in sure lol. Still enjoyed the video , think I'm making my own as well as painting the white cause it's ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY HORRIBLE !!!! why do they want it to look and feel like your in a foam cooler !? Lol
Hi what size are the bump stops on this kit. 2 or 3 inch. Thx
I've got the same tires in 35in
I recently installed this damper on my Gladiator Mojave version. It made a slightly noticable difference. The bolt and nut AEV sends with this damper has a loose fit in the square top part of the mount. If you have a pre 21 and a half model year truck your bolt is probably correct. If not, do yourself a favor and get the pre 21 bolt and lock nut for this setup. It made a noticable difference in the feel on my rig.
30 on highway very impressive
Nice job. It looks like you put in a different track bar than the factory one. I dont see one that comes with the kit either. Just winding if it’s necessary to have a new one or if the factory one can be used.
You can totally use the factory track bar. Clayton had theirs on sale when I was purchasing the parts for my lift so I just went for it.
Is this a $300 install at the local AEV Offroad Dealer? LOL 😂
Liked and subbed. Any feedback after using it for a while?
I never did really notice a difference, but it's mostly on-road action here in Nebraska.
@@LowlanderNate thanks for the reply. At the end of the day, if someone looked under your Jeep they would at least see the AEV sticker on it LOL 😂

Fun fact, Tuttle used to be a military training ground for tanks.
BANKS PedalMonster: Improve throttle response, adjustable and safe.
Buy cetane diesel fuel addative: Diesel fuel combustion depends on the auto-ignition quality of the fuel. Super-Tane improves diesel fuel cetane rating from 4 to 8 points, thus improving fuel quality, combustion and engine efficiency. Higher cetane diesel fuel makes your diesel truck, car, boat or equipment run more efficiently and more quietly, gives you more power and makes the engines easier to start while cutting down on black smoke emissions and DEF.
Any update on this damper? Does it cut down or eliminate bump-steer? Any other observations?
How has it handled since then?
i have a 2021 gladiator EcoD overland 40k noooo issues so far. fuel filter and oil changes religiously. i did very similar trip as you up north no issues
What is your wheel and tire set up?
I've watched your install videos a few times, thanks. Finished my install today, did you ever put the aluminum shield back in?
Update On the gladiator!
Sadly, the Gladiator had to go this summer.
Just wondering about the Boom Mat, since it's been some time now. How are they holding up? Great video buddy.
Ended up selling the truck this fall, but I drove it with the boom mats for over a year and they hadn't budged. Seemed to stick up there just fine.
Yea the fuel costs more than gas. But a gas Gladiator on the same trip, same load would be lucky to average 20 mpg, never mind 27! So you take that into consideration, that’s like 33% better. So if gas is say $3.00 gal, like here in Florida, with diesel at $4.25? Again that’s ? 30% different. So it’s close at the cost per mile. But it’s the relaxed power driving up through the mountain passes with no downshifts, that would be least 2-3 gears on the gas truck. The best a friend gets in his gas Gladiator is 16 city depending upon red lights and traffic 18 if both are very light. , 24 highway at 65. What do you get, remember to add in the altitude.
Thank you for saying Willys correctly!
Very fun to watch
Hi are wheels 35s? Looking amazing!
37s!
Thanks for the information.
This is really a great video! Love the every day novice aspect to it. One thing I always do when working under my vehicles is, I put my wheels under the vehicle just in case the jack stands fail. Knew a guy that died when his jack stand failed/ slipped.

I believe that many damnits must have been said in the making of this video
You have no idea.
@LowlanderNate for whatever it's worth I installed these last night. You can actually grab the lower control arm and pull/roll the wheel backwards just enough to get a pry bar in the bolt hole between on the geo bracket so you can get the LCA bolt in. Once LCA was in was able to get the UCA in the geo bracket (also completely removed the UCAs) I got this idea from JK gears and gadgets, saw him do same. If not, I probably would have done the same thing as you. The instructions are terrible
Did you ever reinstall the upper control arm heat shields? The top hole for the bolt can still be accessed, but the geometry correction brackets block the side mounting hole. Curious how you may have attached it.
You are not pronouncing the sub model correctly. And you referred to the DEF filter regeneration instead of the DPF. The reason you are having trouble with it needing to regen is caused by in town driving and idling to much. Instead of the Def system operating properly it is sooting up the DPF and having to inject diesel into the DPF filter to burn it out. That is why you have very little DEF consumption. Look at the Banks Videos and they explain how the complete system works 👍
At one year with mine, and almost 30,000 miles. No issues. GD tune, running hot shots additive. I'm only getting 24-25 on the highway, but I have a rubicon with stock tires/rims, stubby front bumper, and half rack with rooftop tent. These engines like to run. They don't do well sitting around waiting for recreational use. They really do best when you run them a lot. Mine is my daily driver unless it's nice out (then I run my motorcycle or electric unicycle).
Thanks
I am curious about your fuel economy now that you are lifted and have 37s on it. I have a Wrangler JLU Sport EcoDiesel. I got mine lifted in December and have 33s on it. My average fuel economy dropped 4.5 MPG from January 1, 2023 to August 2, 2023 versus all of 2022. What has your experience been? I love the look of the lift and the slightly larger tires and don't regret my decision to lift it.
Your experience is the exact same as mine. I was going to respond that mine dropped 4-5 mpg after the lift and tires.
I really like the Novsight lights in your camera setup, they look incredibly bright! The video production is truly fantastic!!! SOOOOOOOO good!
Just subscribed, and I'll continue to be locked while patiently waiting for your next video to drop. I like what I'm seeing with your Gladiator build.
It's definitely a girly truck. I have the same truck. I love the glitter around the interior and exterior trim.
🤣
What is your gear ratio
Awesome thanks
I noticed that you left the rails on and removed the steps. The Frontier doesn’t sit high enough to need steps and I think the steps make it appear to be lower. I took mine off completely.
I feel exactly the same way, and will probably be removing them completely in the near future.
You could have downloaded a decibels meter on your phone and measured the difference in sound before and after. That would have been AMAZING!
If I could go back in time I would do exactly that. 😔
"perfect"
You win
We have 3 never had the regen message come up maybe try driving a little harder. Get it hotter more often.
You should check on an auxiliary 2nd Diesel Tank to go those extra miles.
tHANKS FOR POSTING THIS. i PURCHASED ONE AND DIN'T FIND THE INSTRUCTIONS SATISFACTORY. tHIS WILL BE A BIG HEL AS i GET STARTED WITH THE PROJECT. nOW i JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOT TO TAKE OFF THE BACK HARD TOP. tHE MjEEP MANUAL ISN'T THAT CLEAR TO ME.
It should be pretty simple. Just a few bolts and a wiring harness or two to disconnect.
This is def East to West, noob.
thanks for sharing
Diesel is the real deal on a hardcore off roader like this. I have done the math and even with more expensive maintenances and DEF refilling, it still comes comfortably on top of the gas V6. The added engine cost takes you some miles to upset it then it becomes a savings machine. All this without even mentioning the added durability, reliability, and all mighty torque !
It's been all sunshine and rainbows so far!
