Finally found someone who addresses the fender issue, I work in a gravel pit where they use chip/pea gravel to groom the dirt roads and I’m constantly picking it out of the fenders.

@@DrivingLine I just came back across your video again. Almost a year later the Sunrider is without a doubt the best upgrade (other than wheels and tires) that I have ever purchased for my jeeps. I absolutely love it. I must open and close it several times a day year round weather permitting.

I just installed this Mopar Tonneau Cover on my Gladiator. Easy to install, just need a box knife to cut plastic off the bed to get access to bolt holes and T30 and T50 torex bits. I did notice after cleaning and waxing my truck that the cover puts little scratches in the clear coat as it overhangs the plastic top of the truck bed. The material is tough, but I like the look and can deal with a little scratches. Hopefully it doesn’t get to bad.

For your noise test you should have looked at the wind direction. A 15 mile per hour wind can turn 55 mph to 40mph in one direction, and 70mph in the other. That's a big wind load difference.

You son of a gun, again we do the same mod.........! In addition to the manufacture water proofing I decided to spray on several coats of additional water proofing with U.V. block as well. I've noticed spring and summer U.V. rays are eating up tarps I have covering wood piles in just a couple years. They used to last much longer.

Truck U showed the most important mod of all. The Gladiator engine is designed so that 30 minutes after turning off, all of the motor oil drains back into the crankcase, even the filter is bone dry, thus ensuring a total dry start. Baxter Performance has a kit for this.

33s are fine. I promise, you won't notice the sublte differences in 35s. Unless the fender space truly bothers you that much. You are the only person ive EVER seen that would rather have the cloth top than the freedom panels. And i work at a jeep dealership. Ive replaced so many of those tops with freedom panels. All just go in the trash.

My favorite Gladiator video so far! Loved the filming. Saved. What's your recommendation for a JL owner looking to trade for a JT? What's it like as a daily driver compared to a JL?
@DrivingLine
@DrivingLine 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Great question. I'm actually working on a video comparing the two. I've daily driven both. The JL is smaller, which makes it a better trail vehicle, but I've found the Gladiator to be more practical. They both have fairly soft suspension's from the factory, but I prefer the ride of the Gladiator over the JL. The power is basically the same (both with 3.6L and 8spd), so that's a wash. After spending a week in Moab, Utah, hitting trails with my Gladiator, I will say that the truck drags and smacks the rear bumper way more than the JL ever did. That being said, I'm sticking with the Gladiator over the Wrangler for the foreseeable future.

Do you use the lockers on the beach? I live there and I am looking at the Gladiator Sport S. Wondering if getting the Rubicon is worth it if I'm only going on the south or north end every once in a while, with the occasional easy trail here and there.
@DrivingLine
@DrivingLine 4 жыл бұрын
You really don't need lockers on the North or South End. The South End is softer, which can sometimes put you in a bad spot if you're not careful, but with the Gladiator on 35s, we never even shift into low range.

Wrangler Dog I get that on the surface it may seem like a ridiculous thing to even mention or consider an upgrade. However, if your Gladiator came with carpet mats, you’ll likely be in the market for another set. You can order these OE mats from Amazon. They are not only cheaper than most aftermarket sets, but they fit better. They are also the only ones with the built in drain port.

@Driving Line You did not fail me. You failed to produce quality and informative content. This was almost as painful as an unboxing video or watching a millennial "life hack" a tube of toothpaste by squeezing the bottom first but done at the Ritz Carletons best suite bathroom. Let's see some real tips. Let's learn about driveline angles after a lift. Let's learn about calculating spring rate and damper rates to tire weight and vehicle speed. Let's talk about center of gravity and why sometimes heavy steel rims filled with magnesium chloride is better than aluminum rims. Let's talk about picking a line and how to approach ledges to avoid weaknesses in clearance and maximize wheelbase. Let's see how cargo positioning in the bed affects balance going over and up things. Let's talk about the abs system and traction control and how gladiator drivers without the rubicon package can use and help assist the traction control to achieve locker like performance, and its downsides. LETS SEE SOME REAL EASY MODS! Light strips for night crawling. Banks derringer system. Bed panels to hold gear. Hitch shackle. Hitch bumper dumper. Hitch table / kitchen Hitch umbrella or tarp holder. Tire table. Weld hooks on bumper to wrap a tow strap when used a lot instead of throwing it in back or constantly digging it out every third obstical to pull a bronco up. Hangers that hang from the headrest posts that give passengers a place to hang a thing. Stuff that you see on an old timers rig that he has had forever.... Get real...get into it...get out on the trail and live it.

I get what you are saying. However, this video wasn't meant to be any of those things. It was meant more as a wide scope video for a new Gladiator consumer, not an avid wheeler. I've wheeled in nearly every state in the U.S., raced the Baja 1000, survived years of Ultimate Adventures, JK Experiences, and built dozens of rigs from the ground up. Last year alone I drove my Gladiator cross country twice just to wheel it. Once to do the Rubicon Trail. The other time to wheel Moab, Utah, for the week. If that's not getting out on the trail and living it, I'm not sure what is.
