I love the look of steelies on a Jeep. It adds a nice retro vibe to modern Jeeps.
This, guys, THIS is the stuff we all would really like to see. Please continue to put out videos like these.
Found a seat relocation kit at Quadratec for the JL that gives you 5" more inches of leg room however depending on your torso height may allow your head to hit the sport bar. It definitely depends on which seat (regular or premium) you have in a Sport, Sahara, or Rubicon. I enjoyed the video, like your setup.
Nice!!!...you sure are getting alota fun outa this Jeep...that drawer system real handy!!..thanks Tommy 😃
Beautiful truck man. Great setup.
Awesome setup.
I appricate Tommys self deprecating humor greatly.
So cool! You guys have the best job ever! Have fun men!
As cool as the decked system is, I feel it takes up a lot of usable space. Something that is limited already on my midsize. I rather do a cover.
We will take that as a partial compliment! We understand our system is not for everyone but the concern around wasted space is not something want our users thinking.
Our system allows for organization and secure, weatherproof storage of your gear. The platform gets you over your wheel wells, so what you loose in volume you gain in surface area. Our modular storage allows you to customize your drawers to your exact needs and have the ability to switch between tools and gear with ease. The final differentiator that our system provides is a 2000 pound payload on top so you can load up just about anything your truck can handle and still have access to your gear in the drawers below.
Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Wow impressed that decked responded. FTW
@@jermsman18 Impressed is not the word I would use. lol More like shocked and or paranoid now to say anything about it. Since they monitor TFL comments and are looking to pounce on anyone that is not 100% on board with owning one. lol I come to TFL to get away from specific product adverts and get impartial opinions on things. Then form my own impartial opinion.
Love my new Glad Ruby soft top!
Yeah, I've heard rants from the gentleman you refer. Our 'junk' Commander has 183K miles on it, no major repairs, just maintenance, same for our 'junk Liberty (KK)...155k miles on it, nothing but oil changes, brakes, etc. Durango with 3.6L...120k miles, running perfectly...we can't all drive Toyota Celica's given the blizzards we get up here...and he wouldn't either.
dorelse Toyota Tundra then.
@@nycad2484 Had one! Loved it, dumped it before it killed my family from frame rot.
I’ve got that decked storage on my tundra, and it is fantastic!
You guys need to partner with somebody and put a small supercharger on it, that will solve your 50 horsepower concerns
Get Jason Fenske on the horn.
I bought the RackStarz in Colorado Springs for my Tacoma, and I absolutely love the rack! Great build!
I've heard that the glads are really tight for tall people. Hoovie had a problem with head room. You're having a hard time with leg room and lumbar support.... just seems to me that this shouldn't be an issue for a mid-sized truck in 2020.
I'm 6-3 and 230 and have no issues with leg room or head room. We took a trip to Colorado from San Diego and was very comfortable the whole time. And the lumbar support was fine, I have it set to the max and it's great.
I wish ursa minor would make a top for the Gladiator.
Love the content! Who's the jeep hater you're talking about at 8:19 ish?
Nice truck, Jeep has a winner!
Thank you
jeep needs to address the seat comfort in these vehicles for sure! my 18 JL will make my legs go numb on a long trip. meanwhile the power wagon is like laying in a bubbly hot tub relaxing while cruising down the highway. i'm seriously considering ditching the JL just because of the seat alone.
Hi Justin. No, I'm not stalking! :p I have a '19 Cherokee Trailhawk that's very comfortable, but I don't think it would work for what you do with your Jeep.
I'd love to have a web page on the TFL website with current status of each person's car fleet, and occasional updates on what it's like to have to maintain the car fleet. How do you manage them, keep track of the details, etc.
Thinking about getting a RSI SmartCap for my truck. Would love to see you guys out and RSI cap on one of the trucks and see how it works for overlanding/camping with the accessories.
I think its nice set up.
I like this rig and it looks like it'd be okay in winter, although I'm not sure about snow loading and condensation.
So I commonly use my '17 Tacoma to haul hay and get scoops of gravel, sand, & mulch...I would also love a bedrack & drawer system for camping...does anyone have any recommendations that are particularly easy to remove for full bed usage?
How good does it do in the rain, that's my question?
Great video. I really enjoy the detail provided on the setup. One question, are you worried about the Jeep becoming top heavy? Not a concern for on-road driving, but I'm wondering if off-road on the shelf passes it might be an issue.
this is the right stuff -- more of these! Have a RTT on mine as well but if a light weight camper shell comes out for it that has jack stands so I can easily drive out from under it that'll be my next big purchase. !! Also I'm 6'4 myself and have done several 15+ hour drives and have not had any comfort issues in mine....wonder why! though I'm in my 50's ;) so maybe my body is just numb to it all by now :)
love the build! do you know if the condor xl would fit on the gladiator?
what is the max weight for the tent?
How much does the Roofnest weigh?
Of a limp squirrel lol
Same issue here. I’ll never get a Jeep Wrangler because I’m 6’2”. I rented one and went on a 2 day road trip and I much prefer a full size truck or something like a 4 runner. I hope bronco would be big enough.
How much do you feel the tent in the back in regards to sway?
"Who waves his arms and talks to the camera real loudly" lol I knew immediately...
I would use string and suction cups for the other window... or some fabric/tape covered magnets stuck to the roof...
Can you modify the driver's seat rails so that it would slide back further ?
How is the payload with all the gear?
Once the diesels become available in the Gladiator, I'm finally going to have to do some test drives to see if I prefer it over the Wrangler. I've wanted another Jeep for years, and the current generation might finally pull me away from my F-150.
Care to share the cost of all the options you added?
Just wondering, have experienced any radio interference/static after installing the Mopar LED lights when they are turned on, I did and it is driving me crazy.
Nope, haven’t seen that!
How long is the box on the jeep
What’s the best way to clean an engine?
Functionality(minus the snorkel) lol I am a smidgen surprised you are the one forced to drive the Gladiator for the comfort issues you mentioned. If one is not comfortable in their driving position and it is creating physical aches and pains.. let lone long term damage to your body frame.. it is NOT the rig to be in. At best, it would be a short term ride choice for me. I would not daily commute in it, I would not weekend warrior in it. At most I might use it as a utility machine for quick jobs as long as I could take breaks out of it regularly. And I am not just talking about this Gladiator. I have walked away from other Jeep products for the same reason. As well as many other manufactured vehicles.
Where’s the recovery Toyota truck??
Please tune it! You could use Five Star Tuning!
True that on the cramped legs. I’ve never been in a jeep that has enough leg room and I’m only six ft. One of the reasons I can’t own one.
I have a micro usb drive... it's maybe 1/4" long. I put all my music on that and placed it in the USB port inside my armrest on my Wrangler. Pretty sure the Gladiator has the same port. Beats hooking the phone up or even using the bluetooth to connect to it.
Do you have a problem with the UConnect "losing it's place" on your USB song list? I have a '19 Cherokee and use a USB stick for my music as well, but half the time I turn on the Jeep, it starts at song #1. Very annoying!
@@jedironin380 It picks up wherever I left off.
I would've bought the Mopar snorkel for no particular reason also
Love that thing...I also wish they made them tall people friendly. I’m 6’4” and don’t fit...
Tommy: Which wheel manufacturer the steel wheels?
Weird about the seat issue. I’m 6’3” and have plenty of room in my Gladiator. Can even stretch my left leg straight out.
Perhaps he’s longer legged.
@@brohammer I thought about that, but I am longer legged myself. I've always found Jeeps from my TJ, JK and now my JT to be roomy enough for my long legs and if anything the Gladiator is by far the most comfortable, that's why I find it strange he finds it's not big enough or comfortable enough. Maybe it's a weight thing? I'm 220lbs so maybe I push the seat cushion down more, thus giving more room.
@@jeepmancam4205 good to hear. I’m 6’2 and am considering the sport max tow right now...
@@brohammer you’ll love it! Nicest vehicle I’ve ever owned. Plus you get a Jeep with the handy features of a truck!
Anyone over 5'10" will hate this vehicle
Facts.
i think the drawer system loses you space...if the drawers were wider it would be better...otherwise i like everything youve done to the gladiator
LMAO upper body strength of a limp squirrel.
Jeeps are the best
Why
They are pretty darn cool. All years
volvo09 eh that’s your opinion
Because
Yes they are. Thats my next vehicle. Just don't know if I should go gladiator or wrangler
There are way better racks also made in the here in the USA! The decked system is OK but it limits what you can carry.
why not opt for a true heavy duty 3.0 in. suspension lift instead of the 2.5 in. suspension lift??? 35.0 in. M/T radial tyres would have concluded the package . . .
55k and stock headlights
Where's the fridge and the other appliances
This Gladiator is every "Bro's" wet dream...
A gentelman who speaks loud to the camera? I get that reference 😂, but about jeeps and the 3.6 pentastar, he thinks the "engine is OK, is the rest of the car that will fall apart arround 100.000 milles".
And I agree, but who will use an army gladiator as a daily drive car?
Good to know I'm not the only one thinking the same thing lol
You better for 55 k
That guy that yells and waves his arms around is right.
Guys, please! Show the ligths at night
$55k truck and big $ on modifications and the speedometer, odometer, and trip computers are all off. Calibrate for the larger tires. To me the sad thing is these mods were done at the dealership and they did not calibrate for the larger tires.
Looks fantastic. But... where do you carry all your camping gear? Obviously not in the bed, because weather & thieves. Obviously not in the Decked system, because wasted space.
Oh, I see ! Blink and you missed it. The back seat!
Like camping I a car.
Seems like you compromised a bit for the cost of this vehicle, looks neat and has some good ideas but with shortcomings. If you’re not comfortable in the drivers seat you’re never going to be satisfied with it, you bought it to drive after all.
Mistake number 1: Trusting the FCA (FIAT) Engineers! LOL!
There are 6 slide in truck camper options for the Gladiator. Including one from Four Wheel Campers. See my post in this facebook group:

You lost me at KOA...
Who "waves his arm and talks into a camera very loudly" huh? J.K.
the inside of a Rubicon makes the sport look more classy I hate the candy red dash & accents
Truck looks good but the snorkel look stupid
I love snorkels. I think they really make an offroad truck look complete
Leg room and shoulder room in the JL and JT sucks.
Like it all but the snorkel - looks like a hillbilly plumbing pipe special - yikes!
“Not direct injected”
One of the very few engines left like that unfortunately.
I disagree. The 3.6 has a great powerband for a NA V6 without the use of DI. Servicing DI is just another scam to have your vehicle serviced by the dealer or “potentially have your warranty voided”.
one more commercial whit commercials, when are you going to do some real off road and overland and not just commercials for your sponsors
Did I feel shade...against another TH-camr
This is a repeat of previous information, nothing new
But we watched it and gave them a view and a comment didn't we... 🤣
looks so expensive lol , i like trailer home better, of course not real camping
Poorly organized; all the accessories discussed should be noted 1, 2, 3, 4 etc...
Next Doctors visit get your Testosterone level checked you might be under 200 that is the level of a woman, so it might not be your fault for being an upper body wimp. For your age you should be around 500-800. Start TRT and same your manhood.
