1 Ton Swapped Jeep Gladiator SHAKEDOWN!

[@TrailExpedition]

JT is looking good 💪🏻 skid plates are a must for this platform. Good job adding them early. Was one of my first upgrades.

[@4XTRAIL]

Thanks man, yes for sure!

[@jonathanwelter]

A tazer will take care of that annoying three beep horn when you get out with the fob and several other things. The build looks great. Excited to see more. I’m slowly building an eco diesel gladiator.

[@4XTRAIL]

Right on! Yes, running the tazer mini full time to disable auto start 😆 I didn’t know it did the beep thing too, great to know 💪🏼

[@ArbitraryVlogTube]

Been waiting for a video!! Love the build out. Can’t wait to see more beautiful sights

[@4XTRAIL]

Let’s go! 🤙🏼

[@dadbodoffroad]

We've been waiting to see this!! Good lookin rig my dude!!

[@4XTRAIL]

Appreciate it bro!

[@dadbodoffroad]

@4XTRAIL if you don't mind me asking, what cameras do you use? We have a drone and a go pro but I'm thinking we need better stuff. Also, did it take a while for you to get noticed on your channel? We don't see alot of traffic and we're not getting much views. I have just blamed it on an over saturated "market" lol. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

[@Gladiator.562]

Gladiator looks nice man.

[@4XTRAIL]

Appreciate it man! It’s hard to beat a Wrangler but so far the JT has been a fun platform to build on.

[@4XTRAIL]

I can’t tell from your picture, do you have a JL or JT?

[@Gladiator.562]

@@4XTRAIL I have the gladiator overland. I love it. But yours is way more built out then mines haha.

[@4XTRAIL]

Thanks bro! Have you guys been adventuring lately?

[@hmlifewithdoublesj6178]

@@4XTRAIL Yes!! I visited my hometown Korea last week for the first time in 5 years^_^ Many things are changed in there.

[@TimmyCramer]

Wow...amazing jeep! Have you been to fossil creek or verde hot springs yet? Heading back to San Diego this weekend to beachside camp.....thank god!! Timmy C Arizona

[@4XTRAIL]

Hey Timmy! It’s beach camping weather for sure - glad you get to escape the heat! I have not been to either of those places yet haha. We just got back from Utah and Colorado. Excited to share some videos from there!

[@TimmyCramer]

@4XTRAIL cool beans!! Fossil creek is a must, best swimming hole in Arizona and only a $6 permit. Make sure you go and Irving flume is my parking spot. You'll see!

[@1jjjfelix]

Are those aftermarket headlights? They look awesome on the JT

[@4XTRAIL]

Yes! They are Diode Dynamics Elite Max headlights. Big fan of them, tons of features and made here in the USA.

[@TheRightLine]

I know that trail. Nice Jeep!

[@4XTRAIL]

Hey thanks!

[@JohnMikhailJison]

Sick build!!!! What front bumper are those?

[@4XTRAIL]

Appreciate it! It’s the featherweight front bumper from Next Venture 🤙🏼 full walk around video coming soon for this build!

[@tomb2354]

Looks great! How tall of lift did you end up needing? Thanks

[@4XTRAIL]

4.5” is what I’m running. Full walk around video coming before long where I get into more of the details!

[@rocklanderoffroad]

I currently have an LJ rock crawler and an 08 Overlander/retired crawler. Im looking at getting a newer rig for the overland rig and have considered the Gladiator vs Wrangler. How do you like or anticipate the Gladiator being for Overlanding? Pros/Cons in your mind?

[@4XTRAIL]

That’s a great lineup! I think the JT is a great platform for an overland build because of the longer, more stable wheelbase and the payload and storage options of having a truck bed. The only real drawback I have experienced so far is the turning radius. However, I will say it makes up for it with stability off-road. Wranglers are great too though, I was very happy using mine as an overland vehicle.

[@jsm11weld]

Nice job…

[@4XTRAIL]

Hey thank you!

[@brandonsmith853]

What trail is this?

[@4XTRAIL]

Hey Brandon, it’s bulldog canyon near Apache junction 🤙🏼
