Offroading with a Mercedes G-Wagon & Getting the Jeep Gladiator STUCK

Well this sure was a fun day! So fun that I had to split it up into 2 videos. The reason I am doing that is so that this video remains a fun, light hearted off road episode, and the next will be strictly about the recovery and why the issue was so urgent with the recent Bush wildfire in the area. Stay tuned for the next couple videos explaining the events that unfolded. It was crazy!

What do you guys think of these offroad adventure videos? They seem to get less vieelws than anything related to camping, but I love making them!

[@davidmesser8619]

I like the offroad video's, but they make the old stomach acid flow freely. One of my worst fears is to get hung up on rocks. I can deal with mud. Vaughn

[@Down2Mob]

Haha that's funny david - I am the opposite! I dont mind getting hung up on rocks and scraping over them, but mud freaks me out. I've had some bad mud recoveries.. well, you've probably seen the videos! Haha

[@randywarren6925]

Keep them coming dude!!😝🤪😎

[@jeffreyplumber1975]

i watch all your videos, either camping or offroading! but im disappointed you didnt drag the aliner with you to test out the axel repair and tounge repair..

[@DayTripAdventure]

I too like all your videos. Its your spin that makes them cool!

[@paulsinger2539]

Tarantula hawk wasps, glad you got out when you did , that fire blew up quick. Az 4x4 recovery has a vid of the slurry bombers helping them out of 4 peaks.

[@joshe2178]

Link to video?

[@edwardfrench945]

Yo. Hope you’re well and still living the dream. I’m sure you are. I’ve got a free day today so catching up on all your uploads. I’ve got a Land Rover LR4 but in London, England so haven’t off-roaded in ages. Love your work!

[@IPGAuto]

The G-Wagon in its natural habitat. Front, center, and rear lockers plus 4WD Lo. It's a beast. Sadly, it's been given a bad name by hollywood musicians.

[@leestewart5424]

That's was Awesome when he yelled out Down2Mob after that line Gladiator is nice man I have a 1/10 scale version cool seeing the RCs there Thanks for the video

[@billiamc1969]

Tarantula hawks...not murder hornets

[@adampolselli597]

I was looking for someone to post this before I offered the correction. Good eye.

[@DayTripAdventure]

Shoot fire! No pressure!!! Lol. Thanks for the videos. Its been really cool to see you're channel grow! I hope to get there someday! Thanks again! Can't wait for part 2.

[@Down2Mob]

Haha ya it was a bit scary!! Thanks for the comment and thanks for being a part of the channel! I appreciate it

[@mikestrucks]

This looks like a lot of fun 😬🙌🏻

[@jackirichard414]

Looks like fun guys. Stay safe!

[@Far-Beyond-Ordinary]

Way to leave us hanging. How can I wait until the next one?

[@ventureoverlandgear6890]

ayeeee cove 6! almost every summer day was spent on the boat at saguaro! miss those days

[@utilityart]

Be careful out there. The FS is handing out big fines for being off the marked roads. How did the xterra make that line look so easy? lol

[@outpostphx8751]

Great vid man! I gotta bring my kayak out there next time, hell, I'm bringing the whole off road trailer to spend a couple nights at the coves. The offroad adventure vids are great, keep 'em coming!

[@stevez340]

I’m just happy that you didn’t have the A-liner in tow when you tried that🙄

[@raptorxoverland2465]

I was just there at 4 peaks and Butcher Jones last Monday and Tuesday testing the Raptor (Breaking the Raptor) and man it was so crispy and now the fire is at over 110 k acres My damn playground is burning down :(

[@davidmesser8619]

That's why I like dirt bikes, or dual sports. We don't have desert where I am from, but we have plenty of mud. Did I say mud? Can you say mud? I knew you could. Now I did like the hill, and puddle jumping is fun too. Especially on a motorcycle. Woohoo! Good show Phil. Take care man and stay healthy. Vaughn

[@danmay9728]

I have read sevral neg reviews on the jeep gladiator. But seeing you put it through its paceses I feel those commits are in the neg. Absolutey are neg views. Keep the videos coming, absolutely love your channel sir. Be safe. Peace. 🇺🇸

[@Down2Mob]

I absolutely LOVE the gladiator! There are pros and cons for sure, and if you havent owned a jeep before it might be a different truck. But this thing feels like my JK with a bed, and 10x smoother haha

[@HappysTrails]

Bahahaha dang bro why he tried to eat your breakfast sammie ?!!!! 😂😂 first high center yeah buddy!!!

[@joeblow22219]

dude make a video about that cell phone range booster I am trying to get one for my overland jeep setup!

[@carmenbustoz5096]

What? No video of kayaking? The drive looks fun.

[@jackirichard414]

How did your windshield get all cracked Phil?

[@tysonDK]

I need to move to that kind of nature one day. Where i live it's just corn fields

[@raydewitt517]

Get out while you still can! You can always go back to visit.

[@jackirichard414]

Hi Phil and Koda

[@davelamb3303]

What, you leave us on a cliff hanger... dame. Too bad those murder hornets would not get toasted in the fire. I feel bad for the other wild life. Cheers!

[@brs6794]

Getting stuck is half the fun!

[@slowazbmwkilla3073]

How would you compare a jeep to 🤦‍♂️ g wagon .. try the rover firsts . G wagon are with the land cruiser and defender .

[@ericlacen145]

That tj though! Lol

[@DawidNaudeIrishSettler]

And neither the G Wagon nor the Nissan have a winch. Either they are VERY BRAVE or St_pid. Unfortunately there are Pros and Cons regarding a LOOOOOOONG wheel base vehicle. Luckily you have a decent winch. Till the next vid... 🤠

[@outpostphx8751]

We're definitely brave AND stupid... I had a tow strap and some MaxTrax, we were good to go. I was driving the XTerra.

[@DawidNaudeIrishSettler]

@@outpostphx8751 at least y'all had a good time and that's what matters...🤠

[@quentinfreeman7516]

The wheelbase is actually pretty short on those things. About 113 inches. Only 2 doors are much shorter

[@4wdaddict41]

What year is that g wagon ?

[@ricardolandgrave2532]

I think it's a 2000

[@diaryofasummer]

What kind of tires were on that g wagon?. and was there a lift on it??

[@kolyk8740]

35x12 R18 BFG KM2's. It's on a ~2" poly spacer lift that I'm going to be changing out for taller-than-stock springs for the same lift height.

[@diaryofasummer]

@@kolyk8740 thank you!! You rock!!

[@kolyk8740]

@@diaryofasummer I do get some rubbing on full steering lock and full articulation... But that could be because I'm on the original 21 yr. old springs and shocks, and the shocks are basically dead at this point, which is why I'm going to upgrade the suspension a bit.

[@joykockerbeck9527]

[@tinysmisadventures3051]

Down To Froad!!!! 🤪👍👍

[@firat3000]

I think the g wagon driver dont know how to use his differentials properly

[@jobeaty]

What's the name of the lake ?

[@outpostphx8751]

Saguaro Lake, near Mesa Arizona.

[@eiremiascall9268]

Those are actually Turantula hawks/hornets they eat turantulas not murder hornets from asia

[@cbishop41483]

G waggy on the trails? Haha lots o $$$$ to burn i guess!!!

[@Down2Mob]

They aren't cheap! He's had it for 10 years he said and uses it quite a bit

[@kolyk8740]

@@Down2Mob I'm the G-Wagen guy. The G is almost 21 yrs old now. I purchased in 2009 for *well* under $30k. Put on a 2" lift and some 35" MTs and been wheeling it that way ever since. Nice to meet you on the trail! Glad we both made it out before that fire really took over.

Too many commercials. UTube we gone.

Next time take some gelignite and blow those rocks to smithereens ! Aussie style.

I would wonder if the Xterra is lifted.

[@outpostphx8751]

It is, that's my X. 2" PRG Lift with 33" BFGs.

That wasn't wheelbase that was a poor spotter. Oh yeah you got the same problem as me so if you're gonna run down hill on camera put a bra on . Lol
