Join us as we try to tackle Panther Rock , Trail 51 at Windrock Park. It was muddy and slick and we had an Off Road Recovery in our Jeep Gladiator. www.prodigaloverland.com
Umm just a safety tip for ya , “Never” get out of the truck when stuck like that,, your lucky ya didnt get crushed ,, the people or persons with ya are supposed to pull cable , then you operate the winch and drive… everyone knows this , safety first man..
Brad, you're quite THE MAN! Crazy, but...(psst, lucky to have your supportive Lauren!). Amazing the jams you're getting in AND out of! My hat off to both/all of you. I love Sam's non-plussed expression; been there seen that before. Piece of cake!
Fun video Brad. Wet and muddy. Those conditions will challenge any build, regardless of tires. Jeeping in Yuma recently, my buddy slipped of a sand crown. 36 degrees and it didnt tip in his JLU. Pucker factor was very high on the recovery. You may want to beef up the drag link and tie rod putting that much stress on your Gladiator. I have been in a few pickles with the nose down, where you actually couldnt turn the wheel like Lauren was saying because of the pressure and a stock power steering pump. Had to reverse and just get some purchase. Great thinking on the recovery. Nice to see Mr Sam too. Props to your A1 spotter!
probably a good idea that you all turned around. the trail only gets better from there (more difficult) awesome to see some of these newer 4x4 vehicles getting out onto the trails too !
Great job. A CJ on our club had an interesting near flip right there too, but coming down. I started a little for fun channel jeepNdirt and haven't posted that trip yet, but will in the coming months. Great stuff.
Great stuff. Love how you guys don't beat on the Jeeps and treat them well! How have the stock sliders been working on your JT? I'm torn between upgrading the sliders or getting a winch for my JLU for the next mod.
Hey just wanted to ask about the different combination packages in the states. I bought a 2014 summit in canada and always held (the incorrect) assumption that being a summit it would automatically have the better QD2 4x4 system. I was surprised to learn later that even at the summit level you still had to option in QD2.. if not it would still come with quadra trac2. Luckily for me mine had it. But later I came to find out that even though mine came with QD2 I don't have the select speed control option. Apparently (in canada at least) ordering the better 4x4 doesn't mean you automatically get all the options. I also found out later that the only way to tell if a particular vehicle is equipped with that feature, is to look at the graphic on the downhill decent control button. If the graphic shows a vehicle on a slope then you only have downhill decent control.. if the graphic shows a vehicle on level ground then you have both downhill decent control and uphill ascent (select speed) control. Just wondering if you've encountered strange package combos like this in the many WK2's I'm sure you've seen?
Noticed a couple of people in this video were wearing sandals while wheeling. A great way to break an ankle or get a bad cut on a foot, especially when the trail conditions were so slippery. Please get some proper footwear.
its hard to be a spotter and camera person without talking loudly into the camera. most people would just add music over the video to solve this problem, but then people would just complain about that

We did one pull first. To get it back. It was steady. Still had a line on the truck when I got out. Safety first and all. 😉
Great job getting out of that obstacle. Keep up the great content! 👊
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome Gladiator.

4k looks incredible!
Nice video. You’re is a great spotter too!
Good video love it
We are in Sedona AZ right now going to go wheeling tomorrow

You need to watch Matt's Off Road Recovery.
That was awesome
Great beginning clip of this would have been that audio saying “youre probably wondering how I ended up in this situation” haha great video
Agreed!😄
Slippery trail, 51. I did parts of it in my WK2 with loads of water. Had to stop though. I’m going to conquer it as soon as I can. Lol Snatch block!
Great stuff. Love how you guys don't beat on the Jeeps and treat them well! How have the stock sliders been working on your JT? I'm torn between upgrading the sliders or getting a winch for my JLU for the next mod.
Well I put my rig on its side and it protected my doors. I was surprised. I’d go for the winch

epic!
It's hard to take you seriously when you wear Adidas sandals while wheeling. Right gear for the situation.
Then you'll never take Brad seriously! That's all he wears in all his videos, plus, of course his cap!
Oh, yes...and clothes! LOL
Everyone knows what you want when doing this is crocs
Toyota “TDR off-road” all the Toyota boys cringing hahaha
I don’t get the flip flops in mud but…
Neither do I but it’s Brad. 🤪
@@laurenkresge5336 I love watching your videos!
What size tyres are you running? They are the stock rims, yeah??
I feel like you get yelled out a lot!
Ahh is that heading downhill to the rock?

Wow great videos!!!!! Tell her not to yell so much in the camera.

You shouldn't be off road stick to the malls
