Absolutely love it dude, you were the last push to buy mine and build it. Its been a lot of places in the last few months with no problems, just scraps on rock sliders and under body armor is all. Keep the videos coming dude.
Nice Jeep! I just got mine and was curious how to remove the hard top by myself so it was nice to see how you did it. One of the best things about a Jeep is that owners can customize it however THEY like it, not what others like. Thanks for the video and enjoy the ride!
Congrats on your new ride! The key for taking the hard top off by yourself is opening the back window to grip it. Enjoy your ride as well, thanks for watching and commenting
Love your build! No need to defend your Notta-MaulCrawler status... You know what you got and that's what matters, in my book. I'm in MI and long for the 90F and my JK stripped-naked mode. Keep up the great content Dude! Also love ur Pre-Post Gladiator movie snippits.
Sick keep!!! You just made my mind up. I was on the fence between a GMC Sierra or the Gladiator. Thank you for the video, I’m on my way to get a Gladiator this weekend.
Congratulations! You made the right choice! Owning a Jeep just isn't like owning any other vehicle, it's a lifestyle and when you buy one, you're in the club.
I have watched your video for the first time last week and posted a comment. Since then I have binged watched your channel! Awesome job keep it coming man!!
Wow, I haven’t taken the back of my hard top off yet! You did it alone , so it must not be too bad to carry. I’m about to install my soft top tomorrow. So excited. I got the sport model. Added the step bars on the side and sprayed the box so far. Love it
Great job man, I’m in S.D. as well. Saving for my Jeep. Tough decision between the Gladiator Rubicon and the 4dr Rubicon. There needs to be west coast Jeep Beach.
Thanks! I agree we need a Jeep Beach in San Diego! It is a tough decision between a JTR and JLR it depends on what you want to do with it. The JTR offers better cooling for towing and the better cooling is also great for off-roading in the desert heat. JTR has quieter cab and better ride because of the truck bed and enclosed cab, the wheels are further behind the cab. It also has a longer wheel base so if you're getting a Jeep strictly for crawling then probably go JLR. I went with the Gladiator because I am going to get a boat and it can carry more gear to name a few things, I wanted a truck and I wanted Jeep and I got both with the Gladiator.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast Thank You for the response. I’ve got a lot to learn. I sort of want the bed for storage, it would have been mandatory if we still had a good place to tailgate on the weekend. F Spanos 🤬. I have everything from generators to the automatic satellite dish.
If I am considering buying one of these I would watch a “review”. Meaning, this is what I like, this could be better. All this is, is A video of a vehicle that He loves.
This video covers all the details about the 2020 Jeep Gladiator and describes what it's like to own one and drive it for 10K plus miles. I go over all the different features that are offered on the Jeep Gladiator. This Launch Edition has every available factory option from the dealership plus I talk about the mods I've done and how they affect the performance of the vehicle for every day driving. Watch my off-road videos as well, I put the Jeep Gladiator through the ropes on some great trails, plenty more content coming in 2021 thanks for watching.
Nice. If I ever buy a new truck, one of these will be it. Don’t understand the hate, I’ve seen your other videos. Do the mods that please the guy paying for them, not the TH-cam commenters. Stay frosty my friend.
Minimum tire size that still look good are the 33" mud terrain tires that came on the Rubicon before mods. Once you add a lift the minimum size I would run is 35's, I didn't want to run anything smaller than 37's in my opinion 35's look small on a Gladiator with a lift.
Love your jeep man and love the way you off road it too a lil tip of advice you should of clear braw your bars so when putting the spider web shade it doesnt scratch your paint over all nice heep thats what i want gladiator in black looks so mean
not sure if you've discussed this or mentioned already, but did you re-gear after you put 37s on? if so, what did you re-gear too? if not, how does it run with 4.10s and 37s? great videos by the way. my '21 black rubicon is set for delivery in about a month..taking notes from your vids!! cheers
Thanks for watching and commenting, I have not regeared yet. I plan to run 40's on it next and I will regear or upgrade the axels. It runs and drives great without regearing, the only thing that suffers is the gas mileage if you don't regear.
looks amazing. the wheels, tires and offset make up the perfect look. It's surprising this is only a 2" lift. How heavy would you say is the back panel? Seemed you took it down and carried it with ease.
Back panel is probably around 50 lbs. Although I haven't actually weighed it so I can be certain on that number. I will try and get a more definitive answer for you but I'd say it's around 50 lbs.
I understand that these wheels come in diff configurations are these 20x12 with -44 offset ? And if so what bolt pattern did you get ? 5x127? 6x139.7? Let me know I’m really interested . In addition to the stock rubicon you went with a slight lift but did you need to do anything else with your fenders and what not to make it rideable besides possibly regearing
Jealousy watching this from Austria, Europe. Congrats, so cool, reduced to the max Jeep Glad. - here it’s much more expensive (base price & customizing) with a lot of extremes (these adorable 😍 tires) a no-go by authorities 😖. V8 or V12 would pave the way to heaven by the way 😬
The Launch Edition came with Fox shocks and the Rubicon suspension but I upgraded to the Mopar 2" lift kit. The Mopar lift kit also comes with Fox shocks but they are beefier shocks.
In the beginning of the video the top and doors where on, it was in the 90’s the weekend I shot the video so AC was still on. Thanks for watching and commenting
Omg thanks for that. About to buy a gladiator and wanted this lift with 37’s. I was really hoping it would fit in the garage. That overall height is hard to nail down. I’m sure it varies slightly but just wanted a rough estimate.
Fuel mileage is about 12 to 14 mpg right now with the lift and 37's and I haven't re-geared the Rubicon dana 44 axels, gas mileage would improve if I re-gear or upgraded the axels.
I just bought a 2022 eco diesel gladiator , with 3.5 lift and 35’s on 20’ rims , -40 offset front bumper with winch .. and I’ll never be able to retire now $$ lol
Driving with windshield down should be no different then riding a motorcycle, as long as you have eye protection you should be legal. Not sure if Cali is a helmet state or not.
The Gladiator has the biggest brakes in its class and they work just fine with this setup, no complaints. I will be upgrading them when I wear down the stock ones though, possibly working with APB on the brake upgrades so stay tuned for updates.
The freedom panels are pretty light and Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers come with a freedom top panel storage bag. The top is heavy but it can be lifted by one person, I'm not sure the exact weight of the top.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast I sold my Jeep Wrangler unlimited Rubicon and bought a Jeep gladiator Rubicon in Canada because the Gladiator is not for sale in Europe.
Depends on your definition of a mall crawler. My definition of a 'mall crawler' is a Jeep that doesn't see the dirt or mud and doesn't get taken off-road. Thanks for watching.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast love it brother, just bought one and conquered fun run, snake and rubicon ridge in it at hot springs, Arkansas. They are very capable and I'm glad someone is showing how badass they actually are.
People who hate on 20's and 37's are idiots... What they call "mall crawler" actually has MORE tire to wheel ratio than the stock 33's on 17" wheels... So yeah, they can take mall crawler and shove it up their asses. 👍🏻🤘🏻 th-cam.com/video/9dGovIgzULY/w-d-xo.html
Lol. Guess I paused to ask right before you said you didn’t know. I’ve heard it’s not legal and frankly it’s definitely not safe. I’ve ridden cycles for years and even a small insect can feel like being shot. You take a rock kicked up by a vehicle and it’s game over. I’d keep it up except on a legal beach my friend. .02
@@thomaskrutulis2289 I've only driven it around my neighborhood and campgrounds with the windshield down. The Gladiator would be great for parades too with the top and doors off and windshield folded down. It's pretty much a novelty and throwback but I absolutely love that they designed it that way. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I had the tire pressure sensors installed a couple days prior to shooting this video. Big O tires put the tire pressure to 41 haha I reacted the same way when I got it home. I just forgot to let the air out before I did the video.
I know all about tire pressure on road and off-road. Now that I have the tire pressure sensors the light will come on if the tire pressure is below 37 psi... I will have to keep it at 37 psi when I’m not off-roading so the tire pressure light doesn’t turn on.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast Get a Tazer Mini so you can change that. I would highly encourage the chalk test before you put a bunch of miles on them or else the uneven wear will be too far to course correct.
@@Chromedonkey I'm considering a Tazer to change that, will that void any factory warranties? Just had the tires rotated yesterday at the dealership. I talked to the guys at Metal Cloak at TDS and they where saying the same thing.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast The mini is designed to be left plugged in and completely tucked out of the way (it truly is Mini), but they even say on their website, IF you have to go back to the dealer to remove/unmarry it, take it in for your service, then repeat the initial marry process once done and re-setup your settings. I LOVE the device though, it works perfectly well!
I met with the good people at Off Road Warehouse at Tierra Del Sol and KOH. I'll definitely be checking them out for parts for the Gladiator. Thanks for watching.
This video should be called... How to buy a gladiator add every Mopar part from the Jeep catalog/dealership and pay too much for it. FYI. No winch, recovery gear, tools, armor, = Mall Crawler. But it's a nice Jeep.
The Launch Edition is a Rubicon with every available option that was made for the Gladiator. Sport is the lowest trim level with the least available factory options. The Sport S however has the greatest towing capacity but it's not by much over the Rubicon. Check out the Jeep website if you want to compare Rubicon models vs. Sport models. Rubicons are the most off-road capable straight from the factory, the Launch Edition is a Rubicon.
Not having rear view mirrors is illegal but police do not usually bother or notice. I've driven it quite a bit with the doors off before I had my tube doors with rear view mirrors. I've never had a problem but having the rear view mirrors on the tube doors I bought is great peace of mind. Check out my video on the tube doors and rear view mirrors.
I have not added spacers, I really like the stance, the Mopar 2" lift kit is great for what it is. The more clearance the better though so I would consider adding spacers as well, I'll have to measure and see if the rear is higher than the front. I plan on getting different fenders to add even more clearance.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast Thanks for the reply. I love how yours look good job. I’m adding a Mopar lift inches on mine and I hear people complaining that it doesn’t come with a longer track bar but I have being following you and haven’t seeing any problems with yours. Also was thinking to add that 3/4 spacer in the front just so it levels out the truck even. Let me know your thoughts buddy
@@rafaelconti5415 That's awesome! Great choice I love it and haven't had any issues. Great corner travel, articulation and flex. The kit doesn't come with a track bar but the stock track bar works great with it, not sure if there is a difference between Rubicon or not but the track bar that my Gladiator has works great with this lift. My Gladiator scored 820 on the Metal Cloak CTI test (corner travel index) and would have scored even better with different fenders. Absolutely no complaints with it, the 2.5" diameter fox shocks work great with it as well.
I would need to sell a kidney, my teeth, my toes, all of my fingers, a lung, my appendix, my gallbladder, both tonsils, start an OnlyFans, and sell my nose to afford this. After all of that, I would go broke after owning it for a month😂
Drives great! Lift and 37" tires affect the shifting because it is geared for 33" tires. The mph reading is off by about 6 mph under actual speed. 8 speed automatic transmission won't hit 8th gear while on the freeway at high speeds but it still shifts and drives great, no complaints. I had to switch to manual shifting mode to see what gear she's in to see if she could hit that 8th gear. The gearing on the axles is technical and not even noticeable, it's a matter of opinion. You would have to own one and drive it and decide for yourself if you wanted to re-gear the axles for larger tires. Me personally, it drives great and I will eventually upgrade the axles and go bigger on the lift. For the money, I'd go with a larger lift before I would re-gear the Dana 44's that come standard on the Rubicon and some other trim levels.
Io ho un 80º anniversario da ottobre scorso, e ne sono innamorato pazzamente: dovrò venderlo, se non voglio scappare con lui e andare a vivere a casa al mare io e lui senza mia moglie e i miei figli🤩😁😉
Running 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers with the stock Dana 44's front and rear, I have not regeared. I plan to run 40's on it next and I will regear or upgrade the axels. It runs and drives great without regearing, the only thing that suffers is the gas mileage if you don't regear.
In my dreams my Jeep looks just like this !

Hey buddy, how’s your Gladiator doing this days.? I hope you’re still enjoying it
Nice Gladiator
What do you set the top and doors on when they are off, so they don't get damaged? Thank you and sweet ride.
Quadratec sells hangers you can mount in your shed or garage. I have the ones that use the Jeep’s hinges to hang them.
I store the top and doors in the garage when they aren't on the Jeep
Just say no to the door bolts. I use a 12 volt ratchet for top bolts and door stopper bolts.
Agree, that makes it easy!
Good intro
Does the Mopar 2 inch lift come stock with the Launch Edition or was that an add on?
The Launch Edition came with Fox shocks and the Rubicon suspension but I upgraded to the Mopar 2" lift kit. The Mopar lift kit also comes with Fox shocks but they are beefier shocks.
What a perfect truck. What size are these wheels?

Gladiator 4x4 Beast lol glad u took the time to answer. Btw very fitting name for a Gladiator. Subbed 👍🏽
Looks great, what is the total height after you added the 2” lift and 37” tires from floor to top of hard top please?
75" inches total height right now
Omg thanks for that. About to buy a gladiator and wanted this lift with 37’s. I was really hoping it would fit in the garage. That overall height is hard to nail down. I’m sure it varies slightly but just wanted a rough estimate.
What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the 37?
Fuel mileage is about 12 to 14 mpg right now with the lift and 37's and I haven't re-geared the Rubicon dana 44 axels, gas mileage would improve if I re-gear or upgraded the axels.
I just bought a 2022 eco diesel gladiator , with 3.5 lift and 35’s on 20’ rims , -40 offset front bumper with winch .. and I’ll never be able to retire now $$ lol

Kumar Kurapati thanks! I’ve had it since August, 2019 so almost a year.

Nice Beast, What do you think about your stock braking system with the 37's?
The Gladiator has the biggest brakes in its class and they work just fine with this setup, no complaints. I will be upgrading them when I wear down the stock ones though, possibly working with APB on the brake upgrades so stay tuned for updates.
Bad ass! What was the thing you put in place of the rear view mirror ? Was it a mirror?
Still has the rear view mirror, no side mirrors with the doors off but I have tube doors with side mirrors now too. Check out that video.
Also how heavy is the top minus the freedom panels?
The freedom panels are pretty light and Jeep Gladiators and Wranglers come with a freedom top panel storage bag. The top is heavy but it can be lifted by one person, I'm not sure the exact weight of the top.

Do the cops bother you not having doors? Is it legal? TY
Not having rear view mirrors is illegal but police do not usually bother or notice. I've driven it quite a bit with the doors off before I had my tube doors with rear view mirrors. I've never had a problem but having the rear view mirrors on the tube doors I bought is great peace of mind. Check out my video on the tube doors and rear view mirrors.

Have you added a 3/4 inches spacer in the front as well to level the truck ? And what is your thought on that ?
I have not added spacers, I really like the stance, the Mopar 2" lift kit is great for what it is. The more clearance the better though so I would consider adding spacers as well, I'll have to measure and see if the rear is higher than the front. I plan on getting different fenders to add even more clearance.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast Thanks for the reply. I love how yours look good job. I’m adding a Mopar lift inches on mine and I hear people complaining that it doesn’t come with a longer track bar but I have being following you and haven’t seeing any problems with yours. Also was thinking to add that 3/4 spacer in the front just so it levels out the truck even. Let me know your thoughts buddy
I mean 2 inches lift
@@rafaelconti5415 That's awesome! Great choice I love it and haven't had any issues. Great corner travel, articulation and flex. The kit doesn't come with a track bar but the stock track bar works great with it, not sure if there is a difference between Rubicon or not but the track bar that my Gladiator has works great with this lift. My Gladiator scored 820 on the Metal Cloak CTI test (corner travel index) and would have scored even better with different fenders. Absolutely no complaints with it, the 2.5" diameter fox shocks work great with it as well.
@@Gladiator4x4Beast awesome!! thanks for the info buddy
I would need to sell a kidney, my teeth, my toes, all of my fingers, a lung, my appendix, my gallbladder, both tonsils, start an OnlyFans, and sell my nose to afford this. After all of that, I would go broke after owning it for a month😂
Don't do it! Lol it's not worth selling your body parts for but thanks for watching and commenting.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast. Lol
What size rims and tires ???
How does it drive with all the mods?
Drives great! Lift and 37" tires affect the shifting because it is geared for 33" tires. The mph reading is off by about 6 mph under actual speed. 8 speed automatic transmission won't hit 8th gear while on the freeway at high speeds but it still shifts and drives great, no complaints. I had to switch to manual shifting mode to see what gear she's in to see if she could hit that 8th gear. The gearing on the axles is technical and not even noticeable, it's a matter of opinion. You would have to own one and drive it and decide for yourself if you wanted to re-gear the axles for larger tires. Me personally, it drives great and I will eventually upgrade the axles and go bigger on the lift. For the money, I'd go with a larger lift before I would re-gear the Dana 44's that come standard on the Rubicon and some other trim levels.
Gladiator 4x4 Beast thx nan I appreciate the info, hopefully by the end of the month I’ll get one 🙌🏼
How much have you spent in total on the Jeep itself and then after mods
I've got about 70K invested so far. Thanks for watching and commenting
is the cover water proof?
It is 100% water proof. It protects against the dew and rain at night and you can wash it with the top off with this cover, works great!
Do you live in San Diego
Just outta curiosity.... Do they come with AC in them?
Yes it has AC, thanks for watching and commenting.
Io ho un 80º anniversario da ottobre scorso, e ne sono innamorato pazzamente: dovrò venderlo, se non voglio scappare con lui e andare a vivere a casa al mare io e lui senza mia moglie e i miei figli🤩😁😉
I finally made a video about my new 2020 Gladiator Rubicon... I love this thing! 👍🏻🤘🏻

Size of those tires? Did you need to regear?
Running 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers with the stock Dana 44's front and rear, I have not regeared. I plan to run 40's on it next and I will regear or upgrade the axels. It runs and drives great without regearing, the only thing that suffers is the gas mileage if you don't regear.
cool😊✨💙
👌👌👌👌
Cool a$$ video 🤙
