13:31 gills would be the correct terminology

[@FederalSniper]

Welcome back bro! Can’t wait to see the build video!🎉

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man

[@one-WildCard]

fantastic as usual, cant wait till the next one.... btw, her input on the foraging is super cool and very appreciated. Thinks we all see but are not knowledgeable about and curious. You both make a great videos together.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!! Appreciate the support

[@artillerybuff2000]

I'm excitedly watching now.

[@Krystof.Veritae]

Great Adventure guys \-/ another Great vid

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!

The Gladiator is a good look 💪🏽 Best of luck with it I drive a 21 JL Unlimited Sahara 6 speed- lots of fun with the one touch🎉

[@JL_OVRLND]

Nice Video! We love that trail, lots of mud water and rock. That is our go to camping spot when we hit that trail, you should definitely check it out for a night! Cheers

Metalcloak Game Changer 💯

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

That would be my first choice, but their gold zinc coating throws me off. I feel like every time I touch a rock. It’s just gonna start rusting and I can’t really paint over that with anything so I would have to powder coat or paint the entire thing before installing it so it just adds that level of I don’t feel like doing all this shit to it lol 😂

[@georgekristinamundo8841]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG From my underdressed they hold up pretty good and is the best. I went with Clayton. Metal cloak and Clayton are the only company that doesn't require servicing. They're the best.

Great trail, I’ve run it a bunch

[@TheDon8771]

I’ll agree with beef jerky. Definitely my favorite to have for a trail snack.

Metalcloak 4.5” Game Changer lift kit.

[@JendellOverland]

I think you should go with a Teraflex 3 1/2 inch lift with HD springs in the back, if you come to Red bear outdoors in Toronto tomorrow for their season closer, I will be there and they are giving away a warn winch as a prize. You can look over my gladiator and it’s build process to give you ideas for yours

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You know there’s a good chance I might see you there. I don’t actually have anything to do tomorrow.

[@JendellOverland]

Cool, looking forward to seeing you there

[@RobertLocke-wp2ru]

No more "Big Bird". 🐤.? 😭. I'm happy for you, that you sold "Big Bird" 🐥 😊 a little bummed, I won't see it on your channel anymore, though. But I'm sure it went to a good home!! 👍 You should jot down the day you sold the bird 🐤, and see if you can pass legislation, to make it a national Canadian holiday! 🤣 😆. Know what I mean? 😉. 🙃

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

😂😂😂

[@Skfkf1393a]

Could you share the Google map location for this place? Looked up concession lake trail but seems like it’s a hiking trail and don’t see pic of your yellow jeep. Cheers.

My fav couple.

[@crabbypadty393]

Have you had any problem with the 3.6 pentastar motor? My buddy is getting a new motor at 30k in his Rubi gladiator due to oil splash issues. That’s making me want to get a diesel when I buy my used Rubicon gladiator.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

No issues on my end I’m at 22K Km

[@dmwil1]

Great video! Where is this trail?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Near bobcageon

[@MRCH4TH]

Guys just want to have fun!!!

[@miketuggle9273]

I got all excited until I realized it wasn't the magic kind. Dang it.

[@ChrisJohnson-nc1yi]

The trails in this vid are soft. Hit the Tower Trax 8.7 mile trail, in Louisiana, in a Rubicon, then show me what you can do. Mine did it...

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

This is what we have where I live so this is what we get to enjoy lol nobody said it was a hard trail. You can definitely do this in a non rubicon stock jeep. If I had my choice I would be hitting trails in sand hollow or Moab but that’s a trip I’ll be making one day. For now this is what we have lol

[@ChrisJohnson-nc1yi]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG that's cool, I'd just like to see some vids showing what these vehicles can actually do... and it's a lot more than this.

[@RedRabbit4230]

I would say 4"????

[@patrickconnelly6571]

Je veux le gladiator mojave moi......les enfants sont plus vieux et nous suivent plus, l'année prochaine je vous promets que je change la pacifica pour un glad....🤞

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You won’t regret it!

[@whateverrobert]

Well darn that was the jeep I own. But the newer jeeps to me to long and parts are more expensive I’m not daming new jeeps. Just stating.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya but you don’t have to change those parts constantly like on the old ones. And the parts are a lot more beefy so they hold up better. Better ride, quieter, more comfortable, more reliable, still has warranty lol you couldn’t pay me to drive an old one anymore

[@whateverrobert]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG right just stating my friend had a old Jeep he sold it to buy the new one upgraded it to the max. Yes they are comfy. My friend went crawling. Broke the usual things. Knuckle then axle then fender crush then he had a frame redesign. Link type added more clearance. He up 120,000 and more on his Jeep. The new one. He stated to me I’d rather have my old Jeep at least I can enjoy it more. I asked why. He said even though I fix it over n over. Paying to use a lift and tires and parts the old Jeep would not have cost my a whole house to fix. Now that is not every case. He does some rock crawling like trail mater. Videos. So he tears his up a lot. He does not baby his. This is no way to dam what you do. Just stating every one has the likes to dislikes. I like the older jeeps. They are tried and fixed the newer jeeps I seen more at the pick n pull.

[@jimtomlin1114]

I’ll be honest your videos seem to be fun to watch with Big Bird, not that interested now….But I get why….but you’re not going to go all out in your expensive gladiator…..just saying.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

That’s fine with me. This channel doesn’t pay me shit so I’m making videos I enjoy from now on with a vehicle I actually like. I only kept that pile of crap around to make content but it wasn’t worth the stress and bullshit i had to deal with on a daily basis. Not to mention the over 50K in repairs and mods over 4 years. I’m good lol I rather enjoy my life

[@mattmyles3908]

I’ve done half of it in 2wd in my stock f150. I don’t get the air down and 4wd for half of the trail?! Mind you i can lock my rear diff in 2wd and on 33s and skid plates

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Airing down is basically like a second suspension in addition to getting better traction. Once you hit the off camber rocky areas and climbs you need 4wd unless you’re sending it 40kmph
