Here is our Baja 1000 race report for OG40. We took a mostly stock Jeep Gladiator and raced the Baja 1000! After 800+ miles, more than the actual race itself, we successfully crossed the finish line in time and in one piece!
As Mel explains at the end of this video it was a bittersweet wild ride! We are so proud of our team, and can't say enough great things about the capability of the Gladiator platform
.
Huge Thanks to all of our partners for making this possible!

AWESOME Man I've been and enthusiastic since i was 5 years old I'm from Tijuana and brother that was awesome !!
Oh WOW I am sorry this happened to your team and Mel you are a decent sport as well as an awesome person. The Gladiator your team built held out very well. I have a 2020 Launch Edition and made some of your mods. Keep putting out these high quality and informative videos because we all benefit from all of your information.
Craig Richburg thank you
Mel
This is why I bought EVO MFG Enforcer Overland 4.5" for my Gladiator. The suspension is BAJA PROVEN!
BAJA GLADIATOR great thanks for the feedback !!
This is awesome and totally something I want to do with my Gladiator someday :)

We appreciate the support!
Great job Mel! You'll get'em next year.😎👍🇺🇸 OlllllllO

Looks like an awesome time and a great experience! Thanks for sharing it!
Baja is a blast, and one of our favorite races!
Nice guys always finish last Mel.....but you finished first the in the hearts of off road community helping others and being thoughtful of clogging the road. This time was awesome....next time however will be legendary!
Casey Dman thanks man ! Mel
Congrets, super job, super car!!!! 👍🥇💪
Thanks Guido!
JK-Experience I sold my Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon and bought a Gladiator Rubicon in Canada because the Gladiator is not for sale yet in Europe. Can I buy the EVO parts somewhere in Europe? Would love to build it as an Overlander. Best regards from The Netherlands. 👍✌️💪🥇
Baja 1000 sure has a way of breaking hearts don't it? I did not know the OG40 was running this race. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
great job
Next year with the diesel will be your year Sir! Still proud of ya! Go Jeep!
Thanks! We're proud of this year's run and what the platform is capable of.
Well done Mel and crew!
Thanks!
The disqualification update, I can hear it in your voice how bad it hurt man! I know you and your team will learn from it and next time you will do GREAT!
Dad Bod RC thanks ya not good and not the way we want a finish to be . Live and learn . The Jeep ran great !! Even on stock axles
Great job Mel an you will get it next year.
This is the life thanks we will go for it !!
Awesome experience!
Thanks!
Great Job Mel 👊🤘
PhatboyHD88 thanks.
Great work to Mel and the team. Bad luck on the DQ but a strong performance all around.
Thanks Jordan. Appreciate the support
Hell ya show what that Jeep can do!
That's what we're all about!
Wow very impressive, awesome to see the reliability and durability of this platform. I am guessing the engine was the 3.6l V6, and 8 speed auto? This is the kind of RD testing manufactures, should be doing. Reminds me of KORE racing, driving their RAM to the race competitively competing and then driving it home. If that’s not truer test of vehicles reliability I don’t know what is??
Great Job Guys! Can't wait for next year
to see cross the line in first place : )
Thanks!
Nice 👍👍 race
petr meta thanks great day
@@melwadeoffroadevolution 👍👍👍
It's ok mel.. things happen, you will have another chance next year..
Josh Leal thanks
Still sick reguardless of dnf
Ctrl Null thanks.
awesome! I'm definitely jealous! A few questions, what lift and shocks did you run, and what was the resultant wheel travel? Also, any pointers in building a race team? I am aspiring to do this with my Gladiator in the next 2-3 years.
Hey man, just saw your comment, I am in the same position. I am aspiring to assemble a gladiator team, are you still interested?
I’m here because I was wondering if this was ever going to happen. I see I am late to the party.
👍👌💥💣
thx!

@@Jk-experience 419 is the area code in Toledo. It's stamped in the bed rail of my Gladdy with a heart.
70,000 dollars truck (plus accessories) !!!!! I'd be scared to take it to baja!!!!
Ha! Compared the $1/2Million Trophy Trucks, $70K aint bad!
The only guys I could see giving you a run for your money in the mud is the land cruiser team
Stock axles???
