BRAND NEW TUNED JEEP ECODIESEL!

WHY does this keep happening to me! The goal is to go on adventures and not wreck my dream truck. This was my first time off roading with my 2022 Ecodiesel Jeep Gladiator, it rides totally differently than my 2020 Manual Transmission Jeep Gladiator. I was excited to bring it up a mountain that I'm familiar with, but it wasn't until the end that I noticed the biggest damage I've ever had on my Jeep.

The drama was epic!!! Better than Top Gun: Maverick. I think you’ll give Tom Cruze a run for his money. He may have had footage from inside a Raptor, but you had footage of an entire Jeep. Can’t be beaten.

[@UnwindingRoads]

Hahahhahaha yessssss

[@joerivs80]

@@UnwindingRoads 🤣😂 Love you Teddy! Loved the video!

[@Beacon_Offroad]

Reenactment accuracy is next level. No cgi used in the making of this video.

[@UnwindingRoads]

😂😂 I just used my truck man!

[@joerivs80]

That was a reenactment? I thought that was actual footage! Shaun is so good at film I thought that was real! Damn!

[@itsbcook]

Love this content! It's great to see vehicles that aren't swapped / on 40s out exploring. More achievable build for the majority of people. Can't wait for the next video

[@UnwindingRoads]

The builds are cool!! but you're right, it's not achievable for me lol

[@Justjeepingadventures]

You don’t need 40’s to wheel. I agree with your statement too. 😎

[@chadgammon9890]

That's a painful first bruise on the Jeep! I've got a 21 EcoDeisel JT myself and it's good to see someone else that's got one out wheeling. I love the torque on mine. Nice jeep all around man! I just liked and subscribed. Quick tip though, the transmission wiring harness on mine didn't have a heat shield and when the cat got hot enough it burned through the wiring and gave me electrical hell. Just check yours. It's the harness right next to the cat, follow it all the way to the engine bay and up. Wranglers have the same issue in the engine bay. I'm just trying to mention it so people are aware. It's an easy fix for something that never should have happened. Hope that's helpful!

[@UnwindingRoads]

Thank you for your subscription! And thank you for that tip! Definitely will check it out. Don't want to get stuck out there.

[@olafmeier]

@@UnwindingRoads I wanted to get an Eco Diesel myself. However, I have become aware of those overheating issues. Any idea if those issues still persist? I live in southern Arizona...occasionally I would also tow.. Personally, would you recommend a diesel or go with the 3.6 gas?

[@UnwindingRoads]

@@olafmeier I'd go with the 3.6. I fixed all the overheating and reliability issues but what I did is not for everyone. If you're not comfortable doing that and voiding warranty, I'd definitely get the 3.6!

[@olafmeier]

@UnwindingRoads appreciate your quick response. What a shame though. I wonder if the 2024 still has issues. I might wait it out.

[@UnwindingRoads]

@@olafmeier apparently they can't sell new ones until the high pressure fuel pump issue is resolved.... I'd say go test drove the two and we which you like better. The diesel definitely requires more than just oil changes and fuel. Have to monitor your temps, add fuel additive, and understand what you're getting into. Remember it's just a 3 liter. It's closer to a vw tdi than it is a Cummins.

[@JustinCaseWages]

Good to see you and Scout back out on the trail!

[@UnwindingRoads]

Thank you my friend!

[@lauriehaning1492]

Sorry been lost for a while Teddy. Still try and catch you when I can. Love seeing you as always! Great video with your new ride!

[@UnwindingRoads]

Laurie!! All good I have been posting very sporadically lol hope all is well over there!

[@fredhughes2637]

Sorry to hear about the damage on your new ride. Evo rockskins might cover it up and prevent future damage.

[@UnwindingRoads]

That's what I'm thinking.... Good idea

[@scottsnyder8691]

Guess I shouldn't be so worried about pinstripes. That sucks. I came out of Coyote Flats last year with new (to me) Mojave rims and BFGs. 4 days of wheeling and on the road out my tire slipped on a rock and slid into a sharp rock that scraped my wheel and took a decent bite out of my sidewall (less than 1,000 miles). That tire is now a spare. Crazy how things can go so well til they don't, just takes a second.

[@UnwindingRoads]

oh geez!! sounds pretty similar to what happened to me. The rocks may have won the battles, but we will win the war!!!!

[@Thatbcyota]

Ah man. That’s one of my favourite things is when maya comes up on the centre console and rests her head on my shoulder! Another awesome video man! 👌🏼🤘🏼

[@UnwindingRoads]

Adventure dogs rule. Cats drool. 😂

[@Justjeepingadventures]

You were on 20’s with 38’s. 17 on 37’s is a much better sidewall. ✌🏻 good seeing you last week.

[@UnwindingRoads]

Oooooooh now you tell me..... 😂😂 Jokes. Awesome seeing you. We'll get out soon.

[@johnomahony7364]

I know it's a new truck but it's a battle scar dude..like a boxer with a broken nose..its part of the story and the adventure. 👍

[@UnwindingRoads]

This hurts more than a broken nose. I know from experience 😂😂 you're so right. I'll leave a piece of it for sure.

[@TrailNewbie]

Love this - seeing the new rig out on the trail! 👊🏼👏🏼

[@UnwindingRoads]

Heck ya! It's going to be a great year!

[@santacruzoverlander]

Enjoyed your video this morning with a cup of coffee. Thanks!

[@UnwindingRoads]

Sounds like the perfect morning!

[@davidchristensen2898]

I feel your pain but trail damage just is a reminder of the great places you’ve been. The title says you hss as be tuned your diesel. Could you share which tune & how you like it ? I’m familiar with GDE on my diesel Liberty.

[@UnwindingRoads]

I got the tune from Ecodiesel Owners Canada. This is the second ecodiesel they have done for me. I couldn't be happier. I also got thier trans tune.

[@trevorpatrick2616]

Oh man, too bad Teddy. I guess that isn't the greatest feeling after a first date. haha. Great video, the truck look awesome and now its got its first time out of the way. Onwards and upwards!

[@UnwindingRoads]

😂 Definitely not the best first date. But we'll be seeing each other again. You could say things are getting pretty serious between us ahahaha

[@TrashPandaGarage]

You earned yourself a new sub just for the 13:55 - 14:20 slo-mo body damage reaction footage. Nice work ;)

[@UnwindingRoads]

😂😂 Thank you for joining us over here lol all the best.

[@OffGridAdventures7]

Congratulations

[@UnwindingRoads]

Thank you!

[@kengeroo]

great video folks ! - one run I'd like to try one day.. what would you say be the minimum tire size to be able to handle this run ? I have a 3.5 " lift with stock 33s

[@UnwindingRoads]

You'll be fine! Just pick the right lines. Have a winch if you're going in the snow.

[@m.t.mobile]

Oh wow! I got my first scrape on my 2020 Willys the 2nd time out! I got a magnetic body panel package from MEK Magnet to cover it! Mine was not as deep as yours however. Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

[@UnwindingRoads]

It's going to need to replaced lol If it was just a dent I wouldnt fix it but it has a hole

[@m.t.mobile]

@@UnwindingRoads Yeah, saw that! OUCH!!

[@canadian4wd654]

Hey Teddy East Coast cabin here what does activating tripod mean what does that even mean I mean I mean I could fathom what that means but glad to see you finally got out with Sean

OH NO!! Maiden voyages always end up a little sideways. It still runs and drive. You're good. I hope you can get a reasonable solution for that battle scar.

Thank you! I kind of like it now lol it's a pretty funny story now that the initial shock is gone.

[@tomandhistruck]

@@UnwindingRoads There you go! Stories are worth more than pretty paint sometimes! I'm sure whatever happens, it will add more character and stories to your new, amazing rig! As per usual, keep up the amazing work :)

@@UnwindingRoads really? 😄

[@brsnow225]

What kinds are those gates that you are going through? Is it not about letting the sheep and cows out

[@UnwindingRoads]

There is a dam up this mountain and the government works with the offroad community to access it. It has always been an offroad trail, and now the 4wd association of bc manages it. You sign up and get a key for a small fee. We'll worth it Imo. As much as I want access to everything, everyone needs to do their part, and this way we know this place isn't getting trashed.

[@EngiTrek]

Man, you shoulda just done a wheelie past those boulders then did a Ollie to get up over the rest of the rocks so you wouldn’t have gotten any damage. Maybe next time…. Haha looks like a fun time!

[@UnwindingRoads]

bro i tried!!!!! hahahah

[@billbousfield1571]

Badge of honor. If it was my truck, I’d leave it alone. But I understand if you want to keep it looking nice.

That was super great, till it wasn't. Damn rocks that roll! This was a really great video, Teddy. Nice to see the truck performed well for you. I'm sure those grab handles I gave you are one of the best mods eh 😆, but seriously, this truck sure looks like it has more flex than your last one! Get out the big buffer, you'll fix up that side panel in no time.

Absolutely! I still have to is talk the grab handles hahahaa it's been too cold to take the top off! 😂

Why is it smoother? Plus you need better sliders.

I was on 38x13.5r20 tires with 4.5 inch lift. Now I'm on 3.5 inch lift with 37x12.5r17 (I ordered 38s but they haven't arrived yet) I think it all just sucks those bumps in better....

[@tonyk1amt806]

Great video, nice rig, looking forward to more videos. Unfortunately body damage comes with the fun, my old TJ has some scrapes and dents as well. Unwinder 2 is just getting broken in. Just subscribed ! How do you gain access to those locked gates?

@UnwindingRoads deleted or not? Reason I ask is I deleted my ZR2 and it was too smelly at crawl speeds. Got a rubicon gladiator now and I'm on the fence about deleting

@@Langley_Original it does smell for sure.... You can do stage 1 tune and it won't smell. It will also safe your motor. But you'll burn more def because your motor isn't burning off the soot....

I'll be going over all of it in the next video. But it's tuned by Ecodiesel Owners Canada. I have 5 tunes available on the fly. It's currently lifted with the teraflex kit 3.5 inches on 37 inch tires.

What did you tune your ecodiesel with? Looking to do the same for mine, thinking GDE

[@UnwindingRoads]

I was also going to get gde with my first one. But at this point ecodiesel owners canada is the best option really. Their tunes are tried and true. Also you can pick 1 of 5 tunes on the fly. Or you can just shut off the EGR if that's all you want. Definitely worth giving them a shout before making your final decision.
