Testing the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon at Hot Springs Off Road Park

[@Muffduster]

The ol boy in the white Gladiator has little to no throttle control. Love it.

[@skinnypedalexpress4170]

It’s all or nothing with Throttle Tony!!

[@erichconnally5643]

LOL! I was scrolling through the posts just to see if anyone else would mention it! That's why I wouldn't trade my 4:1 transfer case for anything!

[@leighgibson3623]

Thanks Matt for the shout out to my TRD Pro and our Lady Owned Toyota group!! Made my day!! Love your and Cara's videos!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Great hanging out with you!

XJ buggy guy here. Great video, it was good to meet you that morning.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Awesome!!! Great to meet you too.

[@noahspain2367]

This video really shows how much locking diffs help.

[@bradbrowning1651]

Thanks for hanging with us at Rigs and Coffee: Little Rock. We will always be looking for the OOA crew!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

[@jimedwards8958]

Today was epic. Can’t wait for Moab. You two are legends.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

LOL. I don't know about legends. 😂

[@itzreece6347]

Nice to see the guy got his white Gladiator back but dang he is aggressive as hell on the trails lol. Might be because I'm a noob but I thought he was sure to break something ( definitely glad he didn't).

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Things require more skinny pedal when you have open diffs.

[@DavEdWJ]

Almost looked like he was in 4Hi, too. But good for him for being out there.

Good stuff as always!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Appreciate that

[@GS-re9iv]

it’s amazing to see how the solid front axle on the Jeeps sticks the tires to the ground. I was waiting for the 4Runner to roll in that trail towards the end. That drivers got more guts than I do.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Robert knows how to drive is 4Runner very well.

[@ToLoCo87]

When will you guys be doing another adventure that will allow for new ppl to join? We are in south Florida and just bought our first 4Runner Off Road and we would love join you guys of possible!! Great vids and you just got a new subscriber!

[@jlrhodes79]

That spot coming up Power Wagon Point is tougher than it looks. We also earned a soft shackle of shame for having to take the bypass.

[@DUNEATV]

My god these Jeeps are amazing!

[@yipeeiaye]

If you don't have yet - get skid plates stat (love my Metal Cloak system with the rear diff cover) If you are planning to hit the "hard" stuff in Moab, you will wish you did - unless on 40s and Dana 60s. I say this from personal experience

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

We are back from Moab now. Made it home safe.

[@ronaldcobbley9668]

Awesome trailing

[@brianalberts3665]

New to your channel. Enjoy your adventures. Matt, you make easy work with some of those sketchy trails. Always impressed. Great videos! 👊

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks so much!

[@awhiskeycamper]

In all the years I've been going to this park, I've only seen Power Wagon this dry one time.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It was very dry!

I’m in Michigan and hoping I can find a family like this to go on trails ❤️

[@hooligantimes9132]

3 Badge of Honor trails there!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Yep. Got those already.

[@ajachase6211]

Another great video! The music was a bit loud in this one. Hard to hear the jeeps and trail chatter. Look forward to the next one!

[@terrywilliams5676]

Another great video Was tha knuckles? Is your taste in ice cream and trails the same? You prefer rocky road. J/K 🤣 Thanks for letting me ride along again🙂

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks! Not Knuckles. I prefer Cookie Dough Ice Cream. lol

[@terrywilliams5676]

[@billredding2000]

Nice to see what the Gladiator can do (VERY off-road capable, as expected)...but I just won't be doing that in mine: For me, trails rated easy/moderate are fine. Otherwise, I'll mostly be on forest/fire service roads as they nearby just outside the city in the foothills...the more serious trails/passes are quite a drive away in the mountains. But soon, I need to take a long road-trip (~2K miles round trip) to another state, so I'll see how it does with that handling/seat-comfort-wise, and as well, see what "real world hwy MPG" (at least on the freeway/Interstate) turns out to be. -- BR

[@robertwicker196]

No soft shackles for me…😀

[@Landodirt]

Great video! Where will your spare tire ride? :)

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've ordered the track bar from Clayton Off Road that allows it to fit in the factory location.

[@cam6771]

No more Ace rails?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Didn’t have the ACE rails yet when we did this. I have them now.

[@CaptainAmericaJeepAdventures]

I will be there September

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Great job putting the Gladiator to work. Have you considered a 360 camera for your out-the-window shots?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I have a 360 camera. I don't like using it.

[@montgomerymorris6766]

Love your channel. I live in Missouri and I have a 1500 RAM and was wondering if you have ever seen off road rigs or went with them using the RAM as a base

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I’ve never personally wheeled with anyone that has one but I see lots of others doing it. I say wheel what ya got. There’s no such thing as a perfect platform.

What headliner are u using on your freedom panels to attach patches

Hot Heads. They work really well.

[@Wrongwayadventures]

Hey Matt can you give me some information on the black JK with the cage roof rack? What tire size is he running and is it a manual or automatic tans? His set up looks similar to mine and it looked like he did fairly well on those trails.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

He has 35s and Auto trans.

[@skinnypedalexpress4170]

Hello Stephen. I am also running 3.73’s and I have a LSD rear axle. Also a good practice to learn is wheeling with both feet…it’s a lot easier on your body…I don’t do it all the time and when I don’t, I am quickly reminded I should be.

[@Wrongwayadventures]

@@skinnypedalexpress4170 I’m in a manual transmission so I have to drive with both feet. I’m only on 33” and what ever the stock 09 jk gears are.

[@flavio_1252]

Sry if it’s been asked. I looked for it but couldn’t find it. Saw where you said you already had the badges from this park but did you get the badges with your Gladiator? Headed there Labor Day and curious how it handled the badge trails.
