"Whenever I can, I love to put parts that are made in the USA on my Jeep to support American companies where we can!" That just earned my future purchases. I am an American, earning American dollars, supporting my fellow Americans through these times. I may have to buy less but I'll from home all that I can!
Would have been nice to see how everything bolted up to the frame mounts, some bumpers require spacers which I was wondering about. I'm about ready to install a bodyguard bumper.
It’s definitely a thought that I had, and I’ll keep and eye on the temps, especially this summer to see if it looks like it’s making an impact. But realistically, I don’t think it will really causes any issues. The only things I plan on towing aren’t close to the Max rating anyhow.
Hey Rob, is there anyone making a Gladiator rear bumper with a tire swing so I can mount an air tank in the factory spare tire well? If so, when will Quadratech sell them? Thanks for your videos
Looks awesome! Why didn’t you go with the Bruizer? Tucks the winch out of sight for the most part but yes it requires the cube lights. I do like the color matching. I kept mine back to go with my Mojito green/ black colors. I have thought about taking the wire harness from both the front completely out since I ran my rigid d-series to a stech switch. My bumper was heavy without a winch so I can only imagine how heavy it was for y’all and with the spacers lining up just right. That’s an awesome winch! That would be the good thing about that bumper also is that you can put a really big winch on the front versus my Smittybilt XRC Gen 3 that fits pretty tight. What about the rear bumper? Going Poison Spyder also? USA parts all the way!! Factor 55 has some awesome parts! Rocking their Flatlink on my JLU. Last question, what shackles are you thinking about having for the bumper? Are you going to keep them on the bumper or only put them on when you intend on using them(recovery situation)? Awesome video!
Nice build brother! Was hoping to run into you at Bantam or PA All Breeds, but the corona took care of that. Are you going to be at Rausch Creek or AOAA this Summer? Go USA! Safe Travels and God Bless!
Nice set up and great options i just cant put poison spider stuff on my gladiator. The feel the need to cut there logo into everything. In the 90s with a cool armband tattoo that would have been cool. Now its just dated like an 80s kitchen.
Hey man. Love your work and your channel . I am super curious , what do you do professionally besides Jeep mods ? Are you a engineer ? You are so good and so much equipped like I feel sick . I am hardly able to figure out my wrench sizes and here you are lol . But I will keep watching you .... May be one day ! God bless bro .
Nitto is made here in the States but foriegn owned there are only 2 owned and manufactured tires Cooper and Good year. So same as buying a Honda or Toyota.
Does this set up work well with the front end trail cam? And does the bumper require the poison spider skid plate or does it work with the rubicon stock skid plate that wraps under the sway bar disconnect?
Wasn’t Poison Spyder bought? I’m pretty sure all their stuff is made in China now isn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong but I know once they sold, the building they were making everything at here in Banning Ca. is empty now. I’m curious where they are actually manufactured now. (NOT IN BANNING ANYMORE)
I just bought and installed a Poison Spyder crawler bumper this past week and after seeing the quality and the fitment issues you may be right. I can't even get them to respond to any emails or answer the phone. That sucks if they are made in china now. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this bumper.
I want to go with a steel front and rear bumper. I have one MAJOR problem. My garage is extremely short. I literally have about 3 inches of clearance. So my question, is there a steel bumper both front and rear that does NOT make the overall length longer than stock? Would be great if it actually shaved an inch or two LOL.
We sell lots of different winches here at Quadratec. If I only ever installed our parts, I wouldn’t have the chance to show you guys the other brands we sell. Also I have our winch on my other Jeep 👍🏻
@@rob_quadratec well today I took my hard top off and put my softtop on and I watched your video how to do it so thank you for your video as it was a great help 👍
Looks great.. You need help so I can make more money to add all this cool stuff!😜 Don't stop there...Hopefully ya be adding some skid plates soon... Long wheel base.We Gladiators need them..😎🇺🇸
Wish I could afford a set of those Rock Sider steps! Man, those just look slick! I'm not really a fan of all the other steps that have permanently hanging hoops. I went with a Fab Fours Stubby, and my old Warn 9.5XP that I've had sitting new in the box since 2006... Bought it for another project that I ended up selling, and never had another vehicle small enough to use it on until I got my JTR. So, I guess you could call it NOS (New Old Stock). 🤣
What is your opinion on the Warn 8274-50? Warn is coming out with an updated version that will have a 10,000lb rating. To be mounted on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2-door.
The 8274 is an incredibly fast winch, with a huge 150 foot line capacity. It does have some specific mounting requirements because it mounts forward with the fairlead, instead of on the bottom like most other winches. There aren't many bumpers available with that mounting pattern, so you may be custom fabricating a bumper, or at least customizing an existing bumper to work with the 8274-50.
It's the Mopar Satin Black Grille. We're getting it added to our system now, I'll post up a link as soon as it's available. It's basically the same as the Satin Black Grille for the JL, though the Gladiator has slightly bigger grille slat openings and larger mesh openings. Here's the link for the Satin Black Grille for the JL - www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/grille-wrangler-jl?
I am replacing factory bumper on my JL rubicon with aftermarket bumper that has LED lights built in. I'm wiring to the original harness so original fog light switch with the headlights will still work. The original harness behind the bumper passenger side has three wires, two of them are white, one black, assuming black is ground both of the whites appear to have 12 volt do you know why there are two power wires? The LEDs in the new bumper only have black and red just trying to confirm which power wires to connect Thanks for any help!
American made?! ... dude Jeep is owned by the Italian company Fiat remember?! ... its all good bro, I have a Jeep too! ... n love Spaghetti western movies too lol ...

Love the way it turns out! Great Job! Go USA made!!!!
And it's good to see a genuine smile.... I can tell you're into the Jeep looks great
Man, if I got excited over people saying brand names, I’d love this video.
looks great Robby. only thing missing is the factor 55 rope guard. the gladiator is looking awesome.
Wow, that color match looks amazing.
The truck looks awesome.
I'm sorting thru bumper options and now I have another to add to the contender list.
Looks absolutely amazing!!! Love to see that big smile while working on your Gladiator
Tim allways up on it as allways great videos and keep it all American 👍👍👍
I’m changing my setup from recessed mount to top mount for the same reason. Easier to clean, spool, & REMOVE…. If necessary.
Made in the USA!
Would have been nice to see how everything bolted up to the frame mounts, some bumpers require spacers which I was wondering about. I'm about ready to install a bodyguard bumper.
I like top mount too...any concerns of the winch blocking air to grill, particularly when towing.
I haven't had any issues at all!
My Sting Grey is a pale comparison to this. It looks great. Any concerns on the top mounted winch with air flow and cooling if you were to tow?
It’s definitely a thought that I had, and I’ll keep and eye on the temps, especially this summer to see if it looks like it’s making an impact. But realistically, I don’t think it will really causes any issues. The only things I plan on towing aren’t close to the Max rating anyhow.
Looks amazing. How much was the bumper, winch set cost? Without the added paint.
Hey Rob, is there anyone making a Gladiator rear bumper with a tire swing so I can mount an air tank in the factory spare tire well?
If so, when will Quadratech sell them? Thanks for your videos
If you do a sway bar motor flip, you can eliminate the skid. One less thing to bang around on the rocks.
Rig is looking great Rob!
THANKS!
@@rob_quadratec
100% American made products?
Great continuation of the build
Perfect set up. I wouldn’t change a thing. Great build!!
Sharp Gladiator, do you know the GVWR as it sits now? Curious what’s left for cargo.
So Clean, nice job!
Looking better every episode!

Yes! Rob will definitely be at both parks a few times this summer we're sure!
@@Quadratec any chance we'll get a heads up so we can plan a trip to the park also? Thanks

Nice bumper, should have left it black to match grill and break up the sting gray. Nice build though..
That's so funny You didn't used your own Winch from Quadratec what's up with that

This is probably my favorite bumper out there but it just cost to much for me
10:17 Literally me taking pizza out of the oven.
How much weight did you add on this project ?
Can this be used to flat tow? (blue ox etc)
Beautiful, Rob.
I would like to see where the motor in his jeep is made
Danny Nichols Mexico all the way.
Wow sorry ... great job on the Jeep love it....
this jeep is awsome
Rob, what wheels are those? I love them
They're Fifteen52 Traverse HD Wheels that I custom powder coated - www.quadratec.com/p/fifteen52/traverse-hd-wheel-wrangler-jk-jl?
Would you consider this build an “American Gladiator”?
I have a clone Mojave’ Can u please take it and pimp it out. I’m broke after buying it. It needs a winch bumper and a winch please
Looking goooood!!
The bumper is not really good looking but I gues it does the trick.
BAD ASS!!
very nice.
Isn't the Warn just assembled in the USA from parts made in China?
you need to work on you speech audio to music audio man. my ears bleed when you start blaring the music. other than that love the vid (thumps up)
American made?! ... dude Jeep is owned by the Italian company Fiat remember?! ... its all good bro, I have a Jeep too! ... n love Spaghetti western movies too lol ...
Designed in Detroit and made in Ohio bud
You should ONLY offer made in USA parts. 🇺🇸
Too bad it's not the EcoDoesel.
Just a 4,000 bumper setup
No Baja Designs? 🤦♂️
You know when parts are way over priced when he talks too long about nothing. 250 bucks for a hook 350 bucks for foglight
🇺🇸
Not a fan of color matching to be honest it’s just to much gray the snorkel yea cool but not a bumper
Made in the USA. Yet, those American companies use components made in Asia. Lol
