Hey look it's Shaun, our BC connection. Dropping below the boarder on your trip so figure drop in on a few tubers down here as well eh. Now I know where Nate started getting production/editing tips from. Till later on your......Story Line //
Perfect timing. After spending 9 years part swapping on my JK, I finally have it where I want it. Time for a new build, more for overlanding and daily chores but still capable of entertaining a wild left turn into the rocks. I'll pick up a 2021 Mojave in a couple weeks. I've spent months researching vehicles, options, lifts etc. Lots of info out there but not much provided in a manner like this that makes absolute sense. Looking forward to following along with your build
I’m definitely not a Jeep guy this was a great video. I’m jealous of the factor of being able to install tires that big so easy. Look forward to every Sunday with the new video. First thing I do when waking up. Happy holidays to you family.
Thanks dude! I'm jealous too lol. I've been building 4x4s for years and have never owned something this easy to modify. I never thought I would buy a new jeep because I like the old 4x4s way better but these new rigs are pretty undeniable at this point. Have a great Christmas 👊
@@DirtLifestyle I’m Toyota the whole way here and I have 3 rigs… 1st one is about to go to 40s within next few weeks and the amount of cutting and fab that has to be done to clear them is insane. I’m interested to see what you do with the 3rd gen Tacoma. The 3rd gen, is a very much different from the second GEN, which is praised to be the best generation by far. I do like some of the new features that come with a third gen tacoma, but I’ve also heard of a lot of problems with them. Excited to see where you take all of your new toys and also what the jeep is going to be like once you are done with the work on it. Can’t wait for EJ‘s this year.
I also went with the Clayton lift but 2.5 with falcon shocks . Changed out the tierod and draglink to something beefier. Still waiting on gears to come in for 37’s. Love these trucks
I'm going to regear as well. Just waiting on the rear install kit and I will be good to go 👍 A gladiator on 37s is underrated lol. I borrowed one from Jeep when I was at moab in April. Super capable!
@@DirtLifestyle I agree on the 37’s . I wont be able to get it into my garage to work on . Used to be into mustangs which were low. So we decided to move and get a bigger garage with higher ceilings. Thanks for the content by the way.
I wheeled with a couple of gladiatiors for the first time yesterday, 2 on 37s, 1 on 40s, I'm in a TJ on 35s, about as polar opposite of a vehicle as possible, but damn if those things aren't impressive. It takes a little extra time moving that much vehicle through the rocks but they are very capable machines with very little modifications.
Would have been sweet to see the boss's reaction to the 39's. I bet by this stage in your sickness, she is use to the craziness you have coming out of your shop. I can not get over that color. The info you gave on the lift was very good insight.
The tazer programmer is a life saver for anyone who can't afford to have a shop do it. My wife got a crazy deal on some 35's for her 2020 JLU sport and the programmer made it easy to fix the speedo and shift points. Does a few other cool things.
The sensors are called TPMS sensors. Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensor. I have also called them TPS sensors for so long changing that is very tough. Those are really cool wheels. I have never had normal bead locks let alone something like this. Absolutely love this channel and your content! I dream about having a shop like yours some day and learning to fabricate.
My 22 JT rubicon should be here in a couple weeks, can’t wait. And I completely agree with you about the looks of these JTs. Gotta be lifted with bigger tires
Yours is the only channel I like the videos before I start watching. Love your content! You're always informative, fun, friendly, and I feel like I'm in the shop with you!
Little tip on those beadlocks......... stretch the rubber a little bit and put grease in the gasket groove.... then you can install them right side up and makes install a breeze... takes me 15 20 minutes a wheel by myself. Great video thanks! Oh and I had no problems with that bolt in the frame..... must be a gladiator thing cause no issue on my wrangler
I was looking forward to this. I have the same lift and was hoping you'd touch more on setting caster, pinion angle, etc... fighting with wandering and some wobble.
One of your best videos. We (including yourself) can see you skipped a lot of detail for time and viewablity. I appreciate that this was a good choice for the majority of viewers. I would have enjoyed more detail on the mounting technique of the shock reservoir, the computer reprogramming, etc. Keep up the outstanding work.
I put the same lift on my Gladiator (gas) about 4 months ago. Love the lift but hated dealing with Clayton. They were off on delivery by 6 weeks and didn’t seem to care one way or the other. Love your vids brother. Keep up the good work. Your wife’s Gladiator looks sick by the. Way.
I had to drill out the hole on the Hutchison aluminum bracket for the TPMS - and funnily enough found myself on the vice as well - with silicone spray even after drilling.
You can totally get that bolt out, I just did one and if you take the control arm off up front you can wiggle and twist the the control arm and change the angle of the bolt and get it out.
Should have watched this before I purchase my last kit, not for added discounts, they got me, but more for your support. (Washingtonian living in Torronto)
I have been waiting patiently to see which lift you chose and tire size. My wife asked what I was watching. I said Nate is modifying his Gladiator just like I want do LOL I don't have one yet, but soon just a few more payments on the JK and it will happen. I thoroughy enjoy watching your skills at fabrication and common since to make each project and problems easier. Keep up the good work.
It’s AMAZING how just a set of large tires. Can make or break a truck. I’m not a real fan of a Gladiator with stock tires. Big tires really make this Da Bomb.
I installed this kit 2 years ago on my 2019 JL Rubicon to fit 40 inch Patagonia's. First off, great kit! A few things I did to tweak it to my liking. The front upper arms are still too short for 3.5 lift and a super soft ride IMHO. I used EVO drop brackets up front and they dropped the upper arms mounting position down 4.5 inches and the lowers down 2.5 so they both ride almost level now. That softened up the ride better then stock but changed the geometry enough the springs now needed help to keep up with what the rears were doing. Teraflex 1.5 spring spacers gave back everything the EVO brackets took away and I retained the comfy ride. That setup has been working FANTASTIC right up until last week. My front driveshaft gave up and took out the trans cooler leaving me stranded on the side of the road on fire! This happened one week after driving 2200 miles from SoCal to my new home in Tennessee. Good luck on your new family toy and please learn from my mistakes. Replace the front driveshaft! Yes, I will be using Knoxville Driveline from the Bleepin Jeeps videos. ;-)
I have a '21 JT-R Diesel as well and ran into the bolt issue on the front passenger control arm. You can get it out. You pull the bolt out as far as possible, then rotate the pinion up with a jack and that will pivot the arm forward putting the bolt on just enough of an angle to pry it out. You absolutely just need to reverse the bolt by putting it in from the outside and the flag nut on the inside, opposite how the factory did it. I hope you have better luck on with the rear sway bar end link mounts to the frame, they loosen themselves over time and pop out on the trail. I only have 5.5k miles on it and have lost 2 and always carry spares....red lock-tite, factory torque, still work themselves out if you wheel them a lot, which I do. 6.5" Evo HD springs diesel springs, Metalcloak gamechanger arms and trackbars, KMC Grenade beadlocks on 37s. That might sound like a big lift, but we live near the Rubicon and run lots of rocky NorCal trails every weekend, that height keeps your sensitive diesel bits out of the rocks. A company is now making aluminum belly armor for the diesel, and along with trussing the front axle and 40s is our winter project. She's a beast and I love wheeling the heck out of it. It has a Rebel 1/2 height bedrack, winch , bumpers, fridge, rooftop tent, and a pair of kids...makes memories and treks to outrageous camping spots. I'm a Tacoma/Lakewood native now living in CA, and have run Elbe in various Jeeps and fullsize rigs. We definitely build them different for the PNW, than NorCal.
I know right? I wanted to run 33s on my 4Runner, but didn't want to lift just yet. So of course I'm running 32s. Toyota better get their sh!t together on their next generation of 4x4s.
Trick w/ orings that size that like to pop out of their groove and then your wondering if they're in position is to put them on a piece of cardboard, apply thin layer of rtv,install and let dry. That way ya know there in position. Do it all the time when working on hydraulic cylinders for injection molding machines. But anyway, yeah that is very cool 39's can be put on the Gladiator easily w/a small lift. 👍good stuff
the thing about the gladiator is that there is no other vehicle like it on the road. solid axels, removable roof, removable doors all weather interior. if money was no obstacle i would buy one
Looks good sitting on 39's. Can't wait to see what's next for it. The poor J10 needs some love. I'm surprised that you don't have an waste oil heater in your shop. I burn through aboot 5-9 gallons a day. Depending on the temperature outside. And what i want it inside.
You use this for your house or for your business? I feel like 5-9 gallons a day of waste oil is a considerable amount unless you are servicing multiple vehicles a day to sustain this. Kind of curious too if the weight of the oil would affect it too.
@@SandyBoxes it's for the shop and its any oil. Be it hydro or transmission,engine oil. As long as it is clean oil.(no water, washer fluid)I keep it around 250-350°f and that's for a 10 hr work day. We get about 1500 +- gallons of oil a year.
Great video as always Nate! I love the look of your truck on 39's. And I couldn't agree more that we build them to go make memories! Keep up the great work!
Great info, Great vid, Again. No need to be concerned about where to get larger AT's (or any other off road tread), Interco Tire has been making the Monsters my whole life. Damn you must have been a Great Plumber. The way you Type A everything and then show us how, you are fantastic.
Nice wheels! I run Hutchinsons as well and you should definitely check out balancing beads for them, that’s the move to balance Hutchinsons since they are so heavy. I use double the weight of beads that are recommended for my tire size and it drives great on the highway, plus I haven’t had to balance them in over a year and it stays perfect.
@@dawabbitt3079 might hurt a TPMS, but the way they mount I would think they stay away from where the TPMS mounts on the Kevlar band. I don’t use tpms anyways, but I wouldn’t run cheap large beads if I did, the smaller the beads are the better they work!
I have beads in my tpms equipped silverado and it disent hurt it at all. Occasionally one shoots out and pings you in the head when airing down. I pull the valve stems to air down though so that may be unique to me.
Thanks Nate for the tip with the front passenger upper control arm rear bolt. I paused the install of Teraflex front control drop brackets because I didn't want to get into dismantling the intricate exhaust on my JT diesel. Hopefully they will correct caster numbers with my stock control arms.
Only recently started following but I’m hooked. I love the content. I appreciate how you explain things and enjoy seeing the different builds. The taco crawler is what brought me in but I’m here to stay. Do thanks for doing what you’re doing and teaching along the way
I currently have a 3.5” piece together kit. Mines 85% on road 15% off road. I highly suggest getting a front control arm geometry kit, it makes a whole world difference, even with the shock extension and a proper length shocks. I know it makes the control arm sit a little lower but man on road it makes the JT so stable at 3.5” lift!
@@DirtLifestyle best advice ever. I tuned a car then broke it. I spent another car worth of money fixing it because it was so new and engines weren’t available.
@@RadDadisRad this is not uncommon lol. That is why I'm waiting. I worked at a chevy dealer right out of high school and I saw some stuff you can unsee 😳
Nice setup. I'm running Rock Krawler Pro-X 4.5 on BFG 39 KM3s. It's my daily and had gotten me through a good amount of moderate, hard and Badge of Honor Trails.
Hey, thank you for the great video! Probably sound silly put can you share the measurements how looks and a measure tape! I cheating the Clayton web and few of the measurements in the lift kit are little complicated.
10 minutes for a set of hutchinson beadlocks? not a chance! my first took 80 minutes- the seals love to pop out of the beads- and there are 20 bolts to torque to 120lb/ft which takes time. Its also very very hard if you don't have a proper mount to lay the wheel on- also worth noting that a set of 315/70r17 bfg km3 on a set of hutchinson weighs about 100lb! aoart from that- another great vid :)
In most country,33-35 is more then enough to take them where they want..however..in mmuuriiicaaa...bigger is better..40 is become the new 35..37-39 is the new 33..😬😆 freeddddoooommmmmmmm 🤘🏻🤘🏻
New Sub! this was awesome! great advice on the long arm vs short. I'm wanting to lift my 21 JT, it is a daily driver, was thinking 2.5 to 3.5 lift. Really enjoy your channel! Thank you
Great work as always Nate - we've been thinking of going with the mopar lift since we initially didn't see a whole lot of reviews and installs for the EcoDiesel but this build has me reconsidering. Btw that thread/bolt checker looks super handy - going to have to pick one up so I can speed up my time in the hardware store!
Love seeing the JT on your channel! 😎
Hey look it's Shaun, our BC connection. Dropping below the boarder on your trip so figure drop in on a few tubers down here as well eh. Now I know where Nate started getting production/editing tips from.
Till later on your......Story Line //
THANK YOU for not running like 24 inch rims and like low profile tires like EVERYONE else does. Those 39s on 17s look SO good. im in love.
Bought a 2020 Rubicon Gladiator yesterday. I'm going to make memories packing it with my stuff and moving to Vancouver Island on the west coast.
That is sweet. I think a 37 would also look great. Family time is the number one priority. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
"Meant for making memories ", very well said Dude. Great episode.
That's awesome that a DIY could do a kit like this. The shops charge quite a bit to install a lift. You actually showed it.
Perfect timing. After spending 9 years part swapping on my JK, I finally have it where I want it. Time for a new build, more for overlanding and daily chores but still capable of entertaining a wild left turn into the rocks. I'll pick up a 2021 Mojave in a couple weeks.

I always forget you are local to me. I always get excited and go “I know that place!!”. Jeep turned out awesome!
I run the military 16.5 beadlocks with the pvc beadlock interests. They are amazing

I've got a hydro blue wrangler diesel down in Oregon. I'm looking forward to getting out in the snow
I was able to just push in the heat shield on the Down pipe just a tiny bit and it gave me enough room to slide it out.
Gotta love Jeep in terms of buildability!
I can't get over how easy that was, and how good that looks!
I was looking forward to this. I have the same lift and was hoping you'd touch more on setting caster, pinion angle, etc... fighting with wandering and some wobble.
Check out my 4x4 alignment video. Between that and the death wobble video you will definitely have the information you need to fix your problem 🤘
Love the Gladiator. Stock form they look ok but lifted is another level of nice.

Nice to see someone else doing a similar build. Thinking of Triple bypass shocks, trail ready beadlocks and 39KO2 or 37s myself.
Let turn your words to gold. As for making memories.

Your drive shaft give out due to the pinion angle?
Wow that looks great with those tires!
That looks so much better, nice job! Thanks Nate!
Awesome video Nate.
great vid, good job. I'm not a jeep guy, nothing against them, jeep has done really good in making these new ones, still enjoy your vids, keep it up
when i worked at tire factor we did'nt use soapy water, it was straight dawn dish soap and a brush.
Will you need to upgrade the axles or is re-gearing enough for those big tires? What gear ratio will you be installing? 👍
Your defiantly going to need to re gear with these size tires and add 1 ton axles or replace a lot of stuff when they break. Ball joints as well. .
I have a '21 JT-R Diesel as well and ran into the bolt issue on the front passenger control arm. You can get it out. You pull the bolt out as far as possible, then rotate the pinion up with a jack and that will pivot the arm forward putting the bolt on just enough of an angle to pry it out. You absolutely just need to reverse the bolt by putting it in from the outside and the flag nut on the inside, opposite how the factory did it. I hope you have better luck on with the rear sway bar end link mounts to the frame, they loosen themselves over time and pop out on the trail. I only have 5.5k miles on it and have lost 2 and always carry spares....red lock-tite, factory torque, still work themselves out if you wheel them a lot, which I do. 6.5" Evo HD springs diesel springs, Metalcloak gamechanger arms and trackbars, KMC Grenade beadlocks on 37s.

I'm a Tacoma/Lakewood native now living in CA, and have run Elbe in various Jeeps and fullsize rigs. We definitely build them different for the PNW, than NorCal.
The ease of "building" these new Jeeps for big tires almost makes me want one. Almost.
So much easier than a Tacoma to make it big-rock trail capable.
I know right? I wanted to run 33s on my 4Runner, but didn't want to lift just yet. So of course I'm running 32s. Toyota better get their sh!t together on their next generation of 4x4s.
Trick w/ orings that size that like to pop out of their groove and then your wondering if they're in position is to put them on a piece of cardboard, apply thin layer of rtv,install and let dry.
That way ya know there in position.
Do it all the time when working on hydraulic cylinders for injection molding machines.
But anyway, yeah that is very cool 39's can be put on the Gladiator easily w/a small lift.
👍good stuff
Moly coat for o rings will make your life so much easier it is sticky and keeps them in place
had to do the same thing with the cutting of the bolt on 08 jeep wrangler jk doe to exhaust header
the thing about the gladiator is that there is no other vehicle like it on the road. solid axels, removable roof, removable doors all weather interior. if money was no obstacle i would buy one
Looks good sitting on 39's.
Can't wait to see what's next for it.

Makes me want a Gladiator even more! I'm the same way, don't like the stock look. But when you add wheels/tires/lift.... damn they look good.
Im looking forward to a review of the lift. I have a diesel gladiator and this lift is on my short list.
Great info, Great vid, Again.
No need to be concerned about where to get larger AT's (or any other off road tread), Interco Tire has been making the Monsters my whole life.
Damn you must have been a Great Plumber. The way you Type A everything and then show us how, you are fantastic.
Try using Vaseline on the O-ring. It will help it stay in place. Also never had a problem rolling them in place. We use them in aviation all the time.
Nice wheels! I run Hutchinsons as well and you should definitely check out balancing beads for them, that’s the move to balance Hutchinsons since they are so heavy.

I've never needed to balance tires this size. This truck has zero vibration or wobble 👍

Great video, I'm basically am going with the same exact setup but with 38" Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
It’s called a flag nut… for future reference. Great video
Only recently started following but I’m hooked. I love the content. I appreciate how you explain things and enjoy seeing the different builds. The taco crawler is what brought me in but I’m here to stay. Do thanks for doing what you’re doing and teaching along the way
What a fun great video👍🏻👍🏻. So glad that you can still get some solid capabilities from an off the shelf application 🐶😃
Man... just spent 5k at Northridge for my new gladiator on Friday, THEN I see your discount code. That sucks... love the lift and those 39s!
I would love a price breakdown including what was paid for the gladiator.
Looks great! Way more built than I will ever do on mine but still love it.
Howdy neighbor! I need to take some time to go wheeling with you and your peeps(guy with the silver Tacoma)
Good looking build.
Cool video of the process. Looks fun!
The sensors in the tires are actually referred to as “TPMS sensors”(tire pressure monitoring system)
Didn’t want to be the only one to point that out, but tpms sensors is kind of a mouthful
The bolt issue is kinda lime the one with the ford f 150 with the leaf spring bolt on the driver side
I currently have a 3.5” piece together kit. Mines 85% on road 15% off road. I highly suggest getting a front control arm geometry kit, it makes a whole world difference, even with the shock extension and a proper length shocks. I know it makes the control arm sit a little lower but man on road it makes the JT so stable at 3.5” lift!
I’d love to see an in depth review of the diesel gladiator. Any plans as far as tuning/ deleting later down the road?
After I've had it for a year or so I will do a review 👊
And I don't want to tune this truck until it's out of warranty lol
@@DirtLifestyle we’ll be waiting until then! Lol looking forward to future content
@@DirtLifestyle best advice ever. I tuned a car then broke it. I spent another car worth of money fixing it because it was so new and engines weren’t available.
@@RadDadisRad this is not uncommon lol. That is why I'm waiting. I worked at a chevy dealer right out of high school and I saw some stuff you can unsee 😳
That does look good. Merry Christmas
Nice setup. I'm running Rock Krawler Pro-X 4.5 on BFG 39 KM3s. It's my daily and had gotten me through a good amount of moderate, hard and Badge of Honor Trails.
That is awesome, looks great after the lift. Glad you guys had fun. Thanks as always for sharing your projects, we always learn something!!
I almost bought a Gladiator and I talked myself out of it. Watching this makes me want to spend $$$$.
You truck looks awesome!
Great video Nate. 🔥🔥🔥 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hey, thank you for the great video! Probably sound silly put can you share the measurements how looks and a measure tape! I cheating the Clayton web and few of the measurements in the lift kit are little complicated.
Love the truck. Great video as always..👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks man!
Not a Gladiator fan but sheeewwww that TJ is 👌🏻
Thanks as always for sharing your projects, we always learn something!!
10 minutes for a set of hutchinson beadlocks? not a chance! my first took 80 minutes- the seals love to pop out of the beads- and there are 20 bolts to torque to 120lb/ft which takes time. Its also very very hard if you don't have a proper mount to lay the wheel on- also worth noting that a set of 315/70r17 bfg km3 on a set of hutchinson weighs about 100lb! aoart from that- another great vid :)
In most country,33-35 is more then enough to take them where they want..however..in mmuuriiicaaa...bigger is better..40 is become the new 35..37-39 is the new 33..😬😆 freeddddoooommmmmmmm 🤘🏻🤘🏻
New Sub! this was awesome! great advice on the long arm vs short. I'm wanting to lift my 21 JT, it is a daily driver, was thinking 2.5 to 3.5 lift. Really enjoy your channel! Thank you
Great work as always Nate - we've been thinking of going with the mopar lift since we initially didn't see a whole lot of reviews and installs for the EcoDiesel but this build has me reconsidering. Btw that thread/bolt checker looks super handy - going to have to pick one up so I can speed up my time in the hardware store!
The Mopar lift is great too!
And yeah this thread check is one of those tools you couldn't believe you ever lived without lol
outstanding video man! still love the gladiator platform but i have a power wagon lol.
You make it look easy bro!
Awesome vid!!! Can you give me full specs on the wheels and the best place to get them.. lovem want to get a set, thank you
Nate: puts 39s on
Me: clears the 38s out of my cart and stick replaces with 40s
🤣😂
Hey mate. I am in your area with a JT. Hope to bump into you out on the trail someday.
Love the wheels
Me too. These are pretty damn cool
Very similar to the H1 wheels I re centered on my Jeep, I actually didnt know there was anyone mimicing the design
