Epic 2021 Diesel Jeep Gladiator Walk Around! This thing is a BEAST!

We give you a walk around of the EPIC build of The General, a 2021 Diesel Jeep Gladiator!! This thing really is a monster! Built for every adventure we could possibly get ourselves into! The idea behind this build is to be able to rock crawl and then still be able to overland using the same rig! I can't tell you how many times we would rock crawl to a spot and then not be able to camp out due to not having the right set up! Here she is...finally!! Huge shout out to Equipt Expedition Outfitters for getting this top on for us and the Goose Gear Installed! We could not be more happy with how this all has come together!! Enjoy! #gladiator #jeep #jeepgladiator #overland #overlanding #rockcrawler #adventure #rockcrawl #monsterjeep #beastmode #overkill #diesel

As a Gladiator owner this is beyond saying this vehicle is fantastic. Kudo's sir.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you! We use it to the fullest too.

[@BrandonCampbell-b8m]

That is one of the best overland jeep builds I have seen..absolutely incredible well done sir..

[@cmwilfred]

Best looking Gladiator I’ve seen 💪🏽

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you!

[@cliffarnold7463]

Wow. What a rig. Thanks for the walk around

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thanks. We use it a lot! Favorite rig to drive.

[@sea_turtle_adventures]

Incredible! That is truly a one of a kind build. All the best to you and your family.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you very much!

[@davidlomax8902]

This is an incredible purpose built overland rig. I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking forward to seeing your next walk-around video. Thanks, please keep the videos coming.

[@scotthrncirik9091]

Thanks and we fully use it too! We will have more walk around videos coming of our other rigs.

[@welderup6669]

EXCELLENT BUILD!!! GR8 VIDEO!!!

[@marcoeisenberg4337]

I love it. Nothing more to say.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you! A lot of thought went into it prior to build.

[@onebridge7231]

Fantastic build!

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you!

[@WtFRiChOmaTiC]

Good gravy that’s a serious built rig. Too rich for my blood but props to you.

[@logik1677]

god daymn, thats like a 200k vehicle! Much luv!

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thanks! We enjoy the living heck out of it. Full offgrid capable rig!

[@darrellstouttv]

BAD ASS! So the big question is how much is that in accessary parts not including labor. I’m curious how much it cost to build in parts

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

The whole jeep in accessories about 100k.

[@michaeltuggle3177]

10k # winch on a loaded 8800# rig? Kinda small. Remember, thats 10k of pulling power at a single layer of line on the drum. Gladiator is overall super super incredible. I am jealous, lol.

[@Anschutz270]

Was thinking the same. I've got a 10k on my JKUR thats almost half the weight. Of course if you get this thing stuck, just kick some dirt on it and walk away.

[@jamesmcgarry8660]

Awesome build. Thanks for taking the extra time on the fire suppression you use. Can't state that enough.

[@scotthrncirik9091]

It was a very scary experience having a vehicle brush fire. Knowledge is key in dire situations.

[@MrDesertchameleon]

Any update on the rear bumper? Been patiently waiting for a 40+ solution with centered mount.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

As of right now I don’t have any updates. I’m sorry.

[@spacewalker3211]

How do you feel about the center of gravity on that thing? I’m considering doing a similar build with an alu can canopy camper and am debating on lift/tire size.

[@jasoncrawford1208]

Following I’m also in that boat interested in the answer

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

It took a little bit to get used to. At first without its def different but now no issues with it at all. The axle width helps a lot with stability and handles great! Sway bars are the key to I think!

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

I do like how stable it is. If doing stock axle width Id be a little more concerned with it.

[@spacewalker3211]

@@adventurefurtheroffroad appreciate the information!

[@mackneal3246]

I am also interested in an auxiliary diesel tank so I will be excited if you hear anything. Have you heard anything for snorkels? I saw the hauk off-road but it looks like they were discontinued and they don’t look good. Lastly have you heard of armadillo bags? You might like them as a root pack replacement

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Still have eye out on aux diesel tank. Have yet to come across one. If you do please let us know as well. Heard armadillo bags just have been using rotopax for awhile now and have a few of them.

[@mackneal3246]

@@adventurefurtheroffroad I think I found an auxiliary diesel tank. I emailed the company to make sure that it fits the diesel gladiator since the website has it listed for diesel wrangler. its a 55L tank from long ranger. it looks like they are partnered with arb.

[@thereich9967]

Absolutely amazing build! More than I'll ever need or do but it's awesome.

[@dr.spacewalker2910]

looking forward to seeing the auxiliary diesel tank myself!!!

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Hoping one comes sooner than later!

[@ericwinter2347]

Love your attention to detail. Very thorough! Fantastic build! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you 🤗

[@marcl9774]

Great work on the build, pretty rare to see something this extreme! Also the color choice is perfect.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thanks!

[@Farmhandle]

What is your mpg on the 43s when going on road. I know the small tank must make everything limited. I have a fabricator that will be building me a long range tank later this year for my diesel gladiator.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Id be interested to know how the aux fuel tank works for you. We are looking for one as we speak yet. MPG with the 43s is 15mpg.

[@bmfflashbmfflash7036]

One of the best builds i've ever seen. Pretty close to the one I'm having built now. My understanding is that 43" MT are not street legal. But, you do run 42's on long trips. What do you use to air up and down? Do you have Banks Derringer and Pedal Monster to up the HP and torque. Fusion and EVO are the best. And, you are so well spoken. GREAT!!!

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

The MT PRO XS 43s are dot street legal. They make a sticky that’s only a pro X that isn’t. We love them and are building another one as we speak that will doing a review of shortly for our trips. We most def for long trips run MTR 42’s and get about 18 MPG. Depending on the trip we take we use a power tank to fill up. Def the fastest by far. Otherwise we have a suitcase ARB compressor with a tank that plugs in under the hood we use as well. We modified the motor for increased power but didn’t do the banks kit. If you want more info PM us on instagram. I’d be more than happy to share some info with you. Thank you for the kind words.

[@bmfflashbmfflash7036]

We r going with nitty trail grappler 42’s. We couldn’t wire Mickey 42’s due out in 23.

[@mehdiabderrahmane2439]

What a incredible job! 👍🏼 The color of your Gladiator is « Sarge green » ?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Yes, it is! Thanks!

[@gaibrielarchuleta3149]

Is this normally the case, adding heavier duty springs increases payload? Did you stiffen the frame anywhere as well?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Yes we stiffen the rear frame section near the rear shock mounts. Also the heavy duty springs work awesome.

[@craigkairis4394]

What is your highway gas mileage on the 42s? If you don't mind me asking. Also, is your ecodiesel stock or moded? Thanks very much ✌️

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Gas mileage is 18mpg on 42s. Ours is modified and has great power. PM me on instagram if like more info on it.

[@mssammielowe]

Probably one of the most complete, and extreme, Gladiator I have seen.... Amazing work and planning..

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thank you very much. We've been using the heck out of it and testing its capabilities.

[@chazwaddington5342]

This jeep is at my work right now it’s amazing havent seen inside but it’s amazing

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Thanks!

[@spacewalker3211]

Also would love to know the brand of the rear bumper with tire carrier.

[@jasoncrawford1208]

Same

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Unfortunately it was a custom prototype carrier that never made it to the market.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Unfortunately it was a custom prototype carrier that never made it to the market.

[@DavoWright]

How is the swing out tire carrier holding up? I haven't been able to find one that can support the larger 40-43" tires.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

It's been holding up good. I had to make one minor change to it that the arm itself was two pcs bolted together. Now have welded it together and its been great! Have put it thru its paces and held up very well. Unfortunately I don't have any referral for you to purchase one. It was one of 5 built and no longer doing them anymore.

[@duonggoo]

Nice build, i like your roof toptent and tire carrie, what brand of them, bro ??

[@scotthrncirik9091]

Roof top tent is a AT Overland Habitat. The tire carrier is a prototype right now that’s not in production. Will update when changes.

[@alexkaa6351]

Holy shit. This is like 100k+ on top of the vehicle cost. Crazy and nice!

[@PhatboyHD88]

Closer to $150,000 😂 way to rich for my blood dam😂😂😂

[@brianseagraves4848]

Gear ratio?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

4.88

That Sir is a Bad Ass Jeep. Nice 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thank you very much! We love it and use it!!

[@montebeerbower7796]

Beautiful . How's on road fuel mileage

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

With 42s on the highway being nice to it 18 mpg

[@yakirberesheet]

Does it also run and drive?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

I’m Alaska with it now. YES

[@ctrlnull7228]

I need that rear bumper! There isnt any that fit a 40 and lights aren't blocked

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Know a guy that is working on making one. When it’s released I’ll put a post up.

[@PhatboyHD88]

Man awesome rig ! But boy i wouldn’t want the payment on that thing ,, gotta be $1,500 a month , sheeww props to ya buddy …

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Im lucky enough to have it paid for! But Id imagine you're right or north of $1500 if there was a payment.

[@PhatboyHD88]

@@adventurefurtheroffroad well that’s awesome, my jeep is older , but i had to make a choice rebuild the driveline , put a new crate engine in it , pay cash for all that and have no payment or buy a new one and have a payment,,, as awesome as that would be , love the new JL’s , in todays state of things i chose to rebuild mine and just finished it about a month ago , only has 1,500 miles on it . The body and paint is still perfect, so yea its older but its all paid for , i figure to have a take ya anywhere jeep thats paid for these days is the best choice 👍 when the bombs start falling we will all meet in the mountains i imagine 😂

[@CrackkkCrazyyy]

Oh god, driving that thing from sconny to the west coast sounds like hell on wheels

Drove it 3,000 miles in one trip and was great!

[@ajsap8160]

Dream build! My godddd

[@2003ep3]

One of the most incredible builds I’ve seen without a doubt well done man!

[@nickaltvater5592]

2 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog with a rear seat delete. Where do the kids sit?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Good Question! Majority of the time we are taking multiple rigs so the kids are moving from one vehicle to the next! They love it and it gives us more space for gear

[@estheban2352]

Got a Instagram for more photos and videos of this ?

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Yes jt_general and some on adventure.further! We are working on putting more on there!

[@estheban2352]

How much for a build like that

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Let’s just say you and I can’t afford it.

[@paulfindude8743]

AMAZING!

[@truthdefenders-]

Ok, I tried to count your "actually" sayings but it was actually impossible. 😆

[@chuckcribbs3398]

This is an unnecessary money pit…just because. I’m a Gladiator owner. I bought a Rubicon with a manual and saved $5000. I don’t understand these builds. I figure my Rubicon can run about 95% of any trails out there, stock. And I’m using it to help make a barn into a residence on 8 acres I just bought. To each his own. Hope you enjoy blowing all of your money. But it’s yours.

[@JRJROFFROAD]

This is an unnecessary comment that I read… just because. I’m a youtube viewer. Yada yada yada See how pointless that was? Nobody cares about the useless opinion of a grown man with a toddlers name “Chuck”. All that wrestling to look like a budget Chuck Liddell Lmfaooo go kick rocks at your barn bud

[@hawkdad4267]

so unnecessary
