That TJ went some places you couldn't go. Sooner or later, you will break something on the gladiator, it is just part of the game.
I completely agree. But I rather enjoy the gladiator than the TJ with all of its problems. I can’t take the stress of fixing it all the time it’s too old and too tired. The gladiator will have much less frequent problems I’m sure
Each has it's place but the ramp over angle of the Gladiator with it's extremely long wheelbase is so limiting. Chucking a load in the Gladiator or towing.. sure - it will excel and kill the baby TJ... but as you alluded to, the TJ with no lockers, no nothing but tires got places the twin locked you beaut technology assisted Gladiator couldn't.
36:00 ... absolutely leave things alone unless you have no choice!
Another fantastic video, loving that gladiator.
Thanks again for taking us along for the ride. Someday soon I'll join I'm sure.
Cheers!
That obstacle at 23:00 is slippery! I had to wait until a warm dry day to get up there with my Tacoma. Only thing you see through the windshield is the powerline tower and blue sky.
I liked that TJ with leaf spring rear and coil front. Looked like Dana 44s.
Another awesome video Mike! I am looking forward to seeing your Gladiator with the lift in action. Thanks for sharing. I smell what you are stepping in with the beater repair costs. I made the hard decision to sell my 2D 2010 JK since the needed repairs were high dollar and it was a never ending money pit. I am enjoying my Gladiator that replaced the JK. The monthly payment sucks but is offset by the reliability and comfort. Thanks again!
Yeah, that’s pretty much where I’m at
Love the video! Can't wait to do Ardbeg, looks like a lot of fun, hopefully plan on camping on the beach, do one day on the north and one day on the south 👍 always great content.
Thanks! Definitely a great spot to go camping
Tip. 😊 Keep in mind folks, the "Dana 44s" on "Jeep TJs" and older, are different than the new "Dana 44s" on the "Jeep JKs" and newer. I don't know why they call the new Dana "44s" Dana "44s". They should be Dana "45s" or "46s" so people know there is a difference. If you try to take a ring and or pinion, out of a TJ and try to install it on a TJ or vice versa, even with matching gear ⚙️ ratios. They're not interchangeable parents, or if you previously had a "Jeep TJ Rubicon" edition or something even older, and you now have a "Jeep Rubicon" "JK" or a "JL" ect. and you have a pinion seal and or axle seal from your previous "TJ" laying around. The seals will not match up, with the "New Dana 44s". 😂 Sorry, I didn't mean to make this "Comment" so wordy, but I don't know who all is going to read this, so. Hopefully this information helps somebody. 🙃. P.S. if you go to the dealership and ask them for a seat belt extension. They usually give them to you, free of charge, they can be used to get rid of the seat belt buckle chimes as well, and they help prevent the shoulder strap from rubbing on your neck. 👍 Thanks!! love the four wheeling videos!! Keep them coming!! 👍

Given the later models can weigh up to *double* a TJ it's hardly surprising. I agree about the name changes though - - but maybe 44b 44c for each incremental change -- it's still a 44 design. Not an entirely new architecture.
You just all out send the TJ so it will break, you are ginger to say the least with your gladiator….pros and cons to both….
Well, I guess I missed my chance, lol. I am the guy that is in the silver Jeep driving at the lake to my campsite. I had just got there. My son and I went camping there for 3 days. On the way up, I made a joke that it would be cool if we ran into you. Guess I almost did.
Haha that’s funny, maybe next time we’ll run into each other and get to do some wheeling
I hope so
See the Blue Beast is getting some dirty action. Think your on the right trail now in regards to selling Big Bird. Nothing lasts forever and the money can be put into the new one. Win-Win in my books.
My buddy did a spin move when he high centered on a rock and managed to unscrew a drain plug for his CJ5. Good times 😆
Lmao that’s nuts
Great video 👍
Thanks!
Good show Mike I bought me a gladiator I really like it it's hard to stay out of it now I got to pay for it LOL
Congrats on the new ride! I know what you mean lol
Great time as always 🔥🔥
Tell the guy in the Bronco that they have a product to beef up his tie rods. They're called something like Bronco Busters.
I know what you’re thinking I’ve seen them
@@SmokinMonkeyOG I hate to say this, but if I ever was looking at a Jeep and your name was on the CarFax, I would run!
@AStanton1966 good thing I’m not selling it to you
What lift are you looking at ? Under 4 ?
Metalcloak or Clayton both 3.5 inch lifts
Is the plan to sell Big Bird? Love the gladiator
Pretty much… can’t save money if it’s all going into repairs. I want to buy some property and save some money but that is not possible with this thing
Did you ever give your gladiator a name?
Nope
It will come to ya , named mine step son 😂
Since it’s gonna be a mud toy one day
Is this the north or south trail?
South trail
@@SmokinMonkeyOG thanks Mike.
Meh. Stock jeeps and broncos keeping up with you.
I’m stock too lol
Stock JLUR s are awesome rigs
Unrelated, can we all spread the word that ducks on the dash is the dumbest f-ing idea ever!
