You are the winch master. Your abilities to winch things out that are stuck are awesome.

[@williambardisa217]

What you do with that jeep in the South Florida mud is incredible! Some people don’t know. Respect!

[@ST8KFINGER]

I'm not a jeep fan, but that's a damn nice truck. I have learned a lot watching your videos, thanks.

It's not a Jeep anymore, everything has been replaced, that's what makes it a good truck, now.

I love everything you have done to your rescue jeep. Keep recovering. 😊❤😊

[@dustcommander100]

Now that was a great video!!!! You have a lot of stuff I had never heard of - like that Taser system. I had no idea anyone was making something to get around the onboard computer systems, and I figured any mods resulted in lots of annoying idiot lights coming on. Clearly, you put tons of research and thought into what you did - with excellent results. That is no stock or average Gladiator!

[@RSB1726]

I want to congratulate you. You have definitely built a very capable tank that I have seen bigger and supposedly better rigs that can’t do what you do with yours. I realize that a lot has to do with the operator but yours is definitely at the top of the list.

[@ksamrow1]

Great video! Just goes to prove what JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!!! I ordered my jeep in 79 and still have it. Will pass it to my son when I bite the bullet. Love watching your recovery techniques and if I ever get stuck in Florida I’ll give you a call. Thanks again!

[@stuglenn1112]

Very nice build of the Gladigator.

[@jepomer]

I live in New England where' the average person needs rescuing from snow. The local "mudder" off roaders may have a few extra requirements, but not to your extreme. A couple of years ago, I found Matt's Off Road Recovery that focuses on sand and rock crawling recoveries. He has custom built his recovery vehicles that are optimized for his terrain. Florida's geology is so very different with the water table being barely below the surface. Your Jeep Gladiator is well modified to accomplish the recoveries you have posted. It's amazing how "small" rescue vehicles properly equipped can get very large vehicles back onto the road using the right techniques. I enjoy watching you resolve these problems.

[@kway7583]

WOW, love the professionalism! It's nice to see some seriousness . Nice Jeep.

[@zmanzippy]

You could be a salesman for ONX! I didn’t know it had so many features. Glad you covered the battery as well , you’re running a lot of electronics. A jump box would be a good addition if you don’t already have one.

Love the fab 4s grumper window cover. You are actually using it for what it is for, not a SEMA truck. I have been waiting for this video for a while, what an awesome and functional rig! It bats way above its weight class. Great job and I love the videos.

[@marcusalancate1782]

Agree with the impressive setup assessment.

[@jlacy77840]

All of your videos are fantastic! Super practical info. I've been hoping you guys would do this one. I really enjoy hearing the rigging rationale and thought process when you pull up to a job. Great work on all of your videos.

[@7kyro]

Good stuff as always. How much does it weigh? Also tire weight? Ever had a need for a portable winch? Why not use a competition 24v winch and double up on the batteries? They seem like such a timesaver Without a crane, how do you get a higher angle to pull on some stuck or damaged vehicles? Do you just rigg off a tree? Do you ever use a section of cable if the winch line can’t avoid rubbing? Do you have a special setup to air down the tires? Thanks

[@johnkirby6547]

Great video Matt ❤ Very nice setup! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@chrisbaker3134]

Thanks for the great walkthrough of your Gladiator. I have a one too and may copy some of the upgrades.

[@tilligetbig]

Finally a video of your mods!! Thanks

[@taconobaka1688]

Very nice build. Clearly effective for its primary purpose. I only have 3 critiques. First, the lights on the top of the windshield. In my 4 decades of off-road experience, unless you set your lights back on the roof, the glare of the lights off the hood is a significant impediment to seeing beyond the end of the hood. Next is more anecdotal, but I'm not a huge fan of Mickey Thompson tars. Yeah, they look good, but based on consistent observation they just don't perform as well as other brands, Interco and Maxxis in particular. Crawlers like the bias-ply Treps while you'll see bouncers try the MTs like you have and then switch right back to the cut Swampers because they just work better. Last critique, the Fabtech suspension. IMHO, my experience with Fabtech is that they are a deeply unserious off-road company that primarily makes parts for pavement princesses. I don't see anything obviously cheesy with your suspension setup but I'm a bit wary of anything that comes from Fabtech. Also, I'd almost lay down money on you getting a better ride out of a set of Foxes, Kings, Radflows, or even Billies over those Dirt Logics. Personally, I probably would have went with a Terra Flex kit. From what I've seen, they are a far more serious company when it comes to off-roading. I don't hate the cowl/visor, but it does seem like it would reduce your visibility out of the windshield but the protection it offers might be worth it depending on the type of wheeling you do. I also don't hate the grille. To each their own I suppose. I'd love to do what you do. I always enjoy the recoveries just a little more than the actual trail ride. You're living the dream. 😎

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

I was getting worried about your maintenance, especially all the heavy work on the jeep. Now I have seen exactly what I thought all along, 😊.

[@DB-yj3qc]

As a Jeep guy, the guard on the windshield is good in my opinion especially for protection of windshield from damage and electronics from sun. The grill one not my thing and might restrict air flow for cooling, but it's yours and your thing. Love your choice on front winch now that's the winch others are compared with. The company that was to supply the mounting plate must be the successor to the company that made my XJ rear bumper in 99.... full of excuses and only delivering when I got C.C. company and threat of lawyers involved. Something to note is you and few other recovery channels are not into the "drama recovery" shtick.. Other could learn a lot by watching your recoveries and seeing that having the gear with you to do the job ready to go.

[@pitbull1975]

nice looking jeep

Excellent & well explained video Matt. I seriously love your Jeep and I'd want it as is (PLEASE) it looks purposeful and it needs to function as a rescue vehicle, which it really does, you'd have to be really stupid not to see that there is no wasted gizmos on the truck, you know the job inside out and backwards, you knew what you needed and fitted it all, the only question I have is about the engine, you really do nail it and I'm surprised it keeps on taking it, have you done anything too it?

[@OffRoadRecoveryLLC]

Engine and transmission is stock Mods to the frame are the plate welded to the back to hold the winch also acts as a stiffner sorta And we had to cut off all 4 brackets that held the front suspension arms from factory to clear room for the long arm kit Other then that none
