- This was the first time our family took our Jeep Gladiator off road. It handled the Silver Lake Sand Dunes with ease. Our tonneau cover popped open once with all of our camping gear in the back bumping all around. Next time, we will go without the gear so we can move a bit faster.
I'm going my first time with my 2022 Rubicon Phev.....You made test hill look like nothing. I will have to give it a go.
So the kids now have an amazing memory AND a video of an amazing memory. Solid double dip sir.
Knowing there are terrible drivers and just jerks out there, i assume there are accidents all the time. BUt I still want to do this badly Thanks for the video.
Smart not crossing those puddles through the middle, I've heard too many horror stories of people hydrolocking their engines up there. They look very deceiving on how deep they are at times. One year when you could still park all the way down next to the beach, we decided to take our F250s down by the beach. Only one spot was shallow enough for us to get across close to the trees, and even there it ended up coming up to our headlights. We were on 35s, so that was close to 4 feet deep. If it wasn't such a short crossing and didn't test it our first, we wouldn't have done it. We were also ready with straps to pull each other out quickly if needed.That was the only time we've ever done it though lol. Always a good time up there!
Love the kids’ reaction, so precious. Great job mom and dad!
There are tons of SLSD vids on here. I keep coming back to this one. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the comment. We were first timers with this trip and fell in love with the adventure of it.
TEST HILL? Wow! That things got power in it! Love it, keep it up!
Me and my buddies used to ride our dirt bikes in those dunes back in the early '70s. There was a nudest camp in the area and we'd peak over the fence and watch the weirdos walk around and play volleyball and horseshoes. It must have been pretty tough to be naked considering that the deer-flies, pricker plants and mosquitoes were flat-out awful!

thinking about taking my gladiator overland... are you still finding sand in the interior and everywhere else? 😂 and was anything damaged
Still find sand to this day. No damage, but we took it easy with the family inside and that the vehicle is my daily driver. We're heading back again later this summer. Loved it.
My 2001 S10 ZR2 turned 250,000 miles leaving the exit trail on it's last trip..
It lived in the sand dunes,
Never broke anything...
I think my chevy avalanche can make it through here. Lol
How did you attach the flag?
I bought the flag and attachment harness at the DuneLand Off-Road Center right outside of the entrance. You could probably get it at Silverback Offroad too. It attaches to the front tow hook. Super simple. Bring a small ratchet set with you to attach it, need to tighten it with some locking nuts (provided with that harness purchase). It would be annoying to use a wrench to tighten it up.
thats the smoothest ive ever seen it
9 psi is kinda low.
Looks so fun
You made it look easy. Is that a Rubicon? What size tires?
It's an Overland, 1.5 inch Teraflex leveling kit on 35x12.5x 17 BFG KO2s. Handled it very easily. It's my daily driver so I want don't want to go crazy especially with my family in the truck.
So if you damage your jeep there will your insurance cover it?
No idea. It's was my daily driver, family with me and had to drive back to Chicagoland area. I was not going to push it.
If you decide to file a comprehensive claim and damage meets your deductible/was not mechanical breakdown I don’t see claim being denied. Less the claims rep knows is better obviously
Hi there! Where can i rent one of those?
Not sure, sorry. That Gladiator was my personal daily driver.
Good video.....but dnr will not be happy if they catch you in the act of driving up on any of the old trees or. Trunks....would hate to see you get a ticket...be safe have fun
Thanks for the comment and hope others learn from my ignorance. I have.
Its not your ignorance buddy....i too was fascinated by wood 15 years ago on my first trip and I got a stern lesson 😁👍they weren't happy at all ....but nothing's posted anywhere 😒soooo how were we supposed to kno 😁👍
What do I need to do this? OVR sticker?
