Let's See What A Jeep Gladiator Can Actually Handle Off Road

[@Railfan90]

Was starting to think I was on the wrong channel with nothing breaking….. didn’t disappoint in the end 🤣

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Lmao 😂

[@artillerybuff2000]

FUNNY!

[@josephraker9835]

Good to see the jt. Out on trails

[@WolfOverland]

Dude!!! Is that a honda CRV taking the same line as the rubicon?!? 🤘

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya man mikes a little crazy with that CRV haha

[@davelamb3303]

Love it, if your in town Saturday June 1st come by BAJA (Brampton) Show and shine for the car crush and RTI ramp!

[@stevegulley3570]

I'll say it again, the driver of the white Willys kick a$$!!!

[@NEWFSTAH]

Love the smiley flag

[@Bonsi57]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing it. Good to see the Gladiator out performing for you and Justine.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks! It’s nice to have it out on the trail for sure!

[@artillerybuff2000]

Nice trail run! I hate that most cars have sealed transmissions now with no dip stick...

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya non serviceable by owner is the new trend these days

[@TreeLovinAdventures]

I love seeing Nissan's walk up obstacles that similarly built Toyota's have trouble on 😂

[@AlanSextonVT]

I have a new stock Gladiator Sport S and I never cease to be amazed at what my rig is capable of straight out of the box.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

They’re awesome jeeps

[@jothew1274]

I rather see videos off road with the JT than the TJ. just because u have no problems n have a new platform to start building off from. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the older jeeps I'd love to buy a new TJ or YJ without a million miles n rust. Not that you'll ever find one lol.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You may be in luck because I’m about ready to sell it lmao JT time

[@chadgreniersr5808]

Wicked video. We loved it. Now i know what my Gladiator Willys will do. Thanks.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I only used lockers for the last climb everything else you can do with no lockers

[@chadgreniersr5808]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG nice...

[@vinceimp9581]

I've said it before, hammer on anything and it will start breaking. That said, as much as I love a TJ your JT is tires, axles, lockers and AC ahead of your TJ right off the hop. If you stay away from body/lift spacers where ya can, make quality upgrades, remain vigilant on maintenance, then the JT should serve you well.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I agree, it’s a great platform to start with and it’s not old and tired lol

[@paromanin]

good to see more nissans

[@Monerical]

ive been waiting for this

[@OffRoadQC]

@SmokinMonkeyOG We're planning a trip for the 2nd of July with some friends... 2 JLU on 35s and one JK on 33s, all with 2.5-3in lifts, winches and overall good experience with medium technical stuff. We usually like to do some light-medium rock crawling and then chill at the camp site, have a few beers around the fire, grill steaks and just have good fun. Would you say Ardbeg and Scotch Line trails are the best there is in the region east of the great lakes? Also, we are looking to camp there, Ardbeg does have camp sites close to the lake but I guess these are going to be hard to get in the high season? Any help would be highly appreciated. Maybe we'll see you on the trail! 😎

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You get a lot better camping at Ardbeg and there is a ton of space usually there even when it’s busy so I don’t think you’ll have a problem finding one. The trails are also a bit more fun in Ardbeg in my opinion

[@OffRoadQC]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Thanks a lot! We'll be there for at least a couple of days. It's a 9h drive from home hehee. We could do both (Ardbeg, then the Scotch line the following day). We'll need to find another camping spot close to the Scotch line or on the way back. It's still in the planning phase... we'll also hit trails on the way and back. Can't wait!!!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

@OffRoadQC sounds like an awesome trip!

[@jl6757]

What do you think of the lenght of the Gladiator, I might go look at one tomorrow and it would be for trail use.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Personally I like it for the steep climbs. You stay planted. However on the same note it does catch on the rear bumper on steep sections and coming off obstacles so be prepared. But I just take it easy and the hitch slider does most of the work. My bumper is yet to get damaged. If I had to pick one I would take a gladiator but don’t get me wrong I love the Wrangler too

[@jl6757]

Great, thank you.

[@RedRabbit4230]

But the SIDE BY SIDES UTV'S ( SXS ) Are much much safer than ur standard ATV/4 WHEEELER. Take it from someone who knows. I flipped mine aat age 50 and NEARLY DISLOCATED MY HIP. Stayed off my leg the better part of 3 months. Then got up to start walking and 4 months later was in an auto accident that NEARLY TOOK THE SAME LEG OF AT OR JUST BELOW THE HIP. RIGHT LEG BROKEN FEMUR. STILL ROD INSIDE THE FEMUR FROM the hip joint to the knee screws all up and down. A steel plate above and below the knee cap. LoL. THAT WAS IN 2021.

[@one-WildCard]

How are you guys organizing your runs? If you're close enough I'd join in. I'm in Ajax just east of Toronto and a member of Durham 4x4 and COORJC.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

We’re near Toronto too. Just message me on instagram. Personally not a big fan of the groups.

[@one-WildCard]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG I'll be in touch ... Roger That! :)

[@JendellOverland]

Real ugly rims on the white Rubi, why 20 inch, looks like a mall crawler. May even be 22 inch. Ridiculous

[@brent042081]

P.s the 4 door white willys driver is cute

[@sao007]

This video should name how everything except gladiator do

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Lmao never watched an off road vlog in his life

[@lingerseason]

Next video title gonna be “everything broke on my jeep gladiator from off-roading last week”. Jk glad to see the gladiator on the trails!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Lmao other way around it’s the TJ that’s still broken

[@motogene9367]

Is that willys was on 4H on something because all the obstacles it was struggling little bit like the CRV ..

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Not sure

[@Nordic_off_roading]

At the beginning it was in 4H

[@motogene9367]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG You didn’t even have a wheel spin 🔥 Lockern on and sway bar disconnected ?

[@motogene9367]

@@Nordic_off_roading May be thats y transfercase over heated and gasket blown , just a wild guess

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Sway bar disconnected but lockers only for the last climb
