Whats the best part of owning a Jeep???
Taking the top and doors off of course!!!
In this video, Cassie and I take the doors and top off of the Jeep Gladiator for the very first time, and also fold down the windshield!!
Tube Doors for JL and JT: amzn.to/3V3WhV1
They Also have JK Tube doors with this style as well.
Here is another brand with mirrors: amzn.to/3wH4Ewf
The topless and doorless experience in a jeep is one of the best feelings both on and offroad.
I decided to go ahead and get a set of budget friendly Tube doors, they seem to work well, and compliment the Jeep as well, while still being extremely affordable for an item i will only have on the Jeep every once and a while.

We also got a Alien Sunshade for the front half, amzn.to/30qDCmD to help cut down on wind noise and sun rays. We figured this would compliment the bestop sunrider well. However i didnt think that through fully.... but it still works.
Folding the windshield down is an awesome experience, but i would only recommend it at low speeds or offroad (where you will need tie down straps)
Windshield Tie Down: amzn.to/309I65N
Overall, the Jeep Gladiator still retains some of the coolest JEEP Features to it. What other truck on the market lets you take the top off, doors off, and even fold the windshield down??
I hope you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe!!

what is the roof you have on the front half ?
Personal opinion nothing looks cooler than good parents with their kids!!! Love this channel
huge!
Just plain awesome!!!
Your girls are loving it...
Ordering the doors now...
Great vid, nice to see consideration for the family and what the wife thinks. Such a versatile vehicle, most probably one of the few vehicles that stay in the family for a very long time.
Your videos are the best. Thank you! Your mods totally help me see the possibilities. As a first time jeeper I really appreciate it.
Love it completely. The Sunshade is key too and I love mine. Windshield down is nice if all you are doing is too and from the beach or generally slow trips here and there.
There's not a single thing I don't like. I'm envious of you guys and your Gladiator!
I found you a while back in my lifelong dream of owning a Jeep. Vicariously living through your page. FINALLY I bought one. Not the Rubicon but I’m very pleased with my 2021 Gladiator Willys. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PAGE!
Refreshing to see someone drop the windshield. I’ve done it a few times on my JL Rubicon. Drove around town running errands. Haven’t scene anyone else do it in the wild.
Vespering the main reason you won’t see most people doing it in newer Jeep’s is because it voids the warranty on the seals, and it’s really hard for some people to get the windshield seal properly
Wholesome, honest, and entertaining. Everything I look for in jeep TH-cam channels. 👍🏽👍🏽
Look awesome! I took my gladiator doors and top off when I first bought it two months ago, everybody and their brother had to come over and check it out and ask questions. I have yet to put the hard top back on but after seeing this video I’m taking the doors off today and going cruising around town.
I like the way you do videos. It's a conversation the way you'd tell me about this if it was just us two. I enjoy that style of delivery.
Gladiator is my dream car, I am currently 13 and at 14 I'm going to start saving for it.
@Devin, 40 and I am I'm still saving! LOL
😀😀
You should be able to get one in about 5 years for 15k with 160k miles on it.
Nice! I have a Gladiator in Punk’n metallic and I LOVE it! My dream Jeep!!! I am so thrilled they brought back a truck, so you get all the fun of the Jeep and the utility of a truck, and it’s not too big. I have the step up rails, roll-up tonneau, noise/heat panels, sun shade, iPad for nav, and was thinking lights and a front brush guard, but now I need the tubular doors. I agree that the idea of riding with nothing there is unnerving. I love taking the freedom tops off but admit the rear top is too much work. Also, with the freedom tops off and the sun shade on, I still feel like I have a little security in addition to the sun and wind protection, whereas by removing the rear top, you are wide open and have to be able to keep an eye on the truck if you didn’t completely empty out the cab.
Great video guys, and another commenter is right, your videos are very conversational, good on detail without getting tedious, and very engaging. Good stuff! (And the girls are adorable!) I am enjoying your channel. Thanks!!!
We fell in love with it when we first saw it in the dealer lot with everything blown out. Also I highly recommend getting the non-painted top 😀
I love that the JL has a folding windshield. I also love the lighter doors and the door stops that hold the doors in place while open. Key features that are missing on my JK.
I have never been a Jeep guy but I really like the Gladiator. I am seriously considering buying one. I wish it had a slightly longer bed. I realize it has a fairly long wheel base but my last truck had an 8' bed and the modern 6' (5 1/2') seem small so this is even smaller. It would be great if Jeep offered a choice of more than one engine. It looks really great with the doors and top removed but the setup for the windshield seemed like problems/damage waiting to happen. It definitely is a nice vehicle. You folks did a great job with this video. Thanks for taking the time to show all the steps involved for everything and keeping an honest time clock when removing and adding doors, top, etc.. Good looking truck, great looking family and wonderful video. Thank you and God bless. 👍🏼
I love my soft top JT. Fold the top back in a few seconds, and slide the rear window out, and the soft top and frame is completely removable with only 4 bolts.
Great video and I like the look with the doors too.
It looked waaaaaaaaaaaay better with the top off than it did with just the freedom panels off.
Sweet look!
Wowww the door with your diy mesh thingy looks so cool and the vehicle looks so badass. Thanks for sharing this is a masterpiece 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Best Video I've seen yet. I'm definitely purchasing one in a couple of months!!
Love it!!! I was looking for something different.... I'm buying one!!! THANKS
0:35 The look on your little girl's face is priceless, and a perfect example of why we all love these crazy Jeeps!
Ok, just watched your video and I agree its BadAss. I have a Trailhawk and am currently looking at either a Wrangler or a Gladiator. You just added points toward the Gladiator!!
Thank You for your hard work in making this video ✌🏼
Nothing funnier than expecting kids to have this grand reaction, and they end up not caring at all lol
Good job on the mesh for the doors!! Looks really good!
Love my Gladiator too bro! Haven't stripped mine yet but watching this vid makes me ready for SPRING!
Great content, nice family, great jeep, love it man.
Jeep Glad. looks so awesome,with/without clothes .....you have a great family dude, congrats!!
I think it looks amazing, total worth the time cuz you get to transform your vehicle. Totally badass!!!! Definitely a must have!
Dude I love your videos! Keep doin what ur doing!!
One of my favorite truck i think it’s worth because the shape of it would never goes out of style!
Yesssss, more JT! Since one of the main reasons for buying the Jeep is to take the top and doors off (besides off road capability), it would suck not to take them off. Shoulda bought a Ranger and saved the dough in that case. Thanks for breaking a nail to bring us this content! 👗👜
Looks awesome with the tube doors. Great video 👍
Omg 😮, that is so sick, you make me want a JT even more
To unplug the wire harness from the front doors you need to press a tab in at the bottom of the plug then the white part will roll up easy. Thanks for the link on the tube doors. Have a JL that's a twin to your gladiator and was looking for something like these tube doors that don't break the bank!
Man I am in love with this New Jeep
You guys make it look so bad ass nice
Video
One thing I like about the JL and JT doors is the underside of the armrest has a pocket that is a handle to help you hold the door. At 6:22 in your video instead of having your left hand lifting up the on the top of the door, try putting your arm into the window and grab it under the armrest. I find it much easier to handle the doors doing it this way.
Went to the dealership close by my home and saw the gladiator and felt right away that I had to own one.! Was a great decision and now looking for different addons and mods for it!
Love it! I have the same Flag stickers on my 2014 -- just stripped mine down too and put on some half doors. Cheers!
That looks awesome!! Great video.
Thanks @JK Gear and Gadgets, I used your video to help find the extra two bolts on the top. Super helpful!!
you guys always have the best jeep vids!!
Hello, im getting a 2020 gladiator soon and your channel has been helping me to get to know this car before i even own it. Im from maryland and hopefully i get yo mee you one day!
I've been waiting for someone to take the doors and roof off of the Gladiator. Love the way it looks NAKED!! Also, include more videos with Cassie
The truck looks amazing! Super Cool!
This is supercool! Thanks for the video!
Looks awesome, you’re really selling me on a JT, can’t wait until it hit our shores here in Australia.
Agree but bet we wont be legal driving naked down under
Awesome video! Love it both ways!
I am not gonna lie...your enthusiasm is turning me into a fan! I think I am digging the Gladiator! Thanks for the info.
Wow! I gotta get me one of those. Love the fun factor of the Gladiators!
Looks really good with the doors and tops off and the tubular doors. Having the tops off with the factory doors on did not work for me. It's best to keep it all on or take it all off.
This looks so sick. My girlfriend has a wrangler and I really want one too but I feel like having two is kinda weird so I’m looking at the gladiator and I love it! All I know is I’m 100% getting one of them! Awesome video man ❤️
On my JL I tuck the wire harnesses into the mesh pockets and loosely replace the doorstop bolts back into place so there isn’t a hole. I have a red alien sunshade with the sunrider on my jlur and although awkward at first, it’s become very simple to unlatch, flip back and close the sunrider with the shade 👌🏼
Great video and great family. Keep it up!!!!!
It looks awesome enjoy it. Crazy thumps up 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Just ordered a build for a 2022 Gladiator diesel , replacing my 2002 JK and my 2018 monster Chevrolet Silverado diesel. Can’t wait!
Reminds me of the scrambler. I love it with the top and doors off.
Great look, I’ve owned many jeeps, just make a hanging place in garage for your doors. Leave the doors off and top on. A lot of fun.
I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE AND DO THAT :)
Love it. Saving my pennies for a nicely used gladiator in the next couple of years when the price goes down.
Question ( anyone can reply) what kind of carport is that? Moved into my house last year, and there is a slab of concrete at the end of my driveway that used to have a garage. Now I'm looking for some type of shelter that can handle north east weather ( snow blizzards in the winter, heat in the summer). I have a charger that I want to better cover. I'm still planning on putting a cover on it when I dont use it, but some shelter that wont weigh down on it, would be great. Thanks
I like it, it does look really cool, and the alien sunshade is awesome, I have one on my JK, and I love it.
I've been looking at a buying a Rubicon myself. I always do a lot of research before buying a new vehicle. I've watched about 4 of your videos on your Rubicon. I gotta tell you...You do a great job with your channel. Great commentary, Great personality and expressions. Incorporating your wife (Cassie, hope I spelled it correctly) is brilliant. Even showing your kids, is fantastic. I laughed so hard when in one of your videos you said "gotta put the girls down for a nap"...and one of them got sassy and yelled "No"! Seriously laughed out loud. You have a cool channel, an Awesome wife, and two beautiful girls. You are a blessed man. Your channel is tempting me big time, to get my Rubicon. Keep up the good work. Well done!
Good video. Cant wait to get my Gladiator later this year
I bought my 2021 black gladiator sport in March. I love it
I like the gladiator stripped down looks great 👍🏻
Got a Jeep gladiator rubicon last fall. Love it so far. (Except gas mileage, but knew that beforehand) Used to have Rams and F150s. Loved those too but didn't need that big of a truck any longer.
Thanks for showing this!...considering a Gladiator and I was wondering if my wife and I could handle the removal of the hard top. I had a full size pickup with a cap on the bed and it was just too much for us. It needed to very strong people with three making it easier.
I can’t wait to do it this weekend..!!!!
I saw one in Jamaica like this. It was black and yellow seats. Oh my God, it looked beautiful.
I love it naked with the Tube doors. Not a fan of the front window down. I just found your channel and I’m hooked. Subscribed. 👍🏻
Such a badass Jeep. I was so tempted to get one also but I think I'm going to finish building up my JK a little more first.
not a bad plan!!
love the look , missed my jk windshield down drive and my JL.vid as well..JK windshield only took me 15 mins..And JL 3 mins...high lift on my hood now,. Hookie Road make some good stuff,. had there fenders on my JK , loved them..
Smart thinking with the mesh for the doors!
Great vid! We need to rock tube doors here in BC if we want to go door-less! We have been looking for an affordable set for our Gladiator! Hoping to go naked this summer! Thanks for all the tips for removing the doors and roof!
Awesome & very informative. 👏🏼 I am planning to join " jeep nation " & I like how there are a ton of accessories to add. 🙌🏻
I had removed the top and doors from my 1976 CJ7 and my son and i got caught in a heavy texas down pour. We had the heater on full blast and the wipers going fast. We just laughed and enjoyed the ridiculousness of the situation.
I love this Gladiator. Wanting to get the same one and doing many of the mods you did. Just not sure on how much lift/rims/tires as it will be my first Jeep. Really like how it looks with the 2” lift you did, but i can handle more at 6’4”.
Amazing video man
Gladiator is a badass Jeep it’s look real nice in both ways driving in the summertime without doors and rooftop very nice .
You sew like a champ! Doors look great!!
Awesome stuff! Topless looks bad ass
I feel the same way about the car seats and the tube doors. 😂
What even?? This has gotta be a child endangerment thing. They aren't consenting adults who have a say in what car they're driving in and definitely not able to accept the risk of driving in a Jeep like this. On top of that, removing the doors definitely affects the rigidity of the side of vehicle.
I'm not some middle aged sheltered up tight mother, but this is really stupid. I would have a lot of shit to say to both of you and your wives in a parking lot if I saw this.
beautiful video ,,lovely family ,,keep safe and happy man ,,,,,,
Nice Jeep, nice house and nice family.....God bless you more
Looks good ... and I know the Twertels enjoyed it!
I need those tubes!!!!! Great video bud!
Looking forward to getting my gladiator in the near future! 😀😀
Looks great with those tube doors. Topless is the way to go.
Truck U showed a kit from Baxter Performance for the Gladiator that prevents the engine oil drain back issue. 30 minutes after shut off all the engine oil drains back to the crankcase, even the filter is bone dry. Every start up is a dry start.
Love how it looks
Super well explain and enjoyed your channel very much. Thanks
i love it and god bless the family!!!
Good video. Going to look at a gladiator rubicon this weekend
You asked what we think:
I have to say I don't see the value of these options when it's become such an involved process to switch over but, hey - I can see a lot of obvious *downsides* to all that. Thanks for being the demonstrator as a public service.
Wish my JK was that easy to drop the windshield!!! Would do it all the time off roading!!
I bought a flexible drill bit extension so I could use a drill to take the doors off. A lot faster and safer than using that ratchet wrench. I always got paranoid I would scratch the paint.
Looks tougher with the doors and top on imo. Love it with the 37s
I'm sure someone else probably chimed in, but those white clips on the front door wiring harness, there's a black tab in the middle that you push down and then pull up on the white bar.
