In this video we take a close up look of all the work, parts and labor that have carefully gone into building this truck, we'll talk with the oner and find out the why behind each modification and hear some of the future plans. #jeepgladiator

When the 392 goes to the Gladiator, I will official be on the list to purchase.

He's 100% right about your content. It's not pretentious in any way, just excellent stories and information . Always a pleasure when you upload a new video. Definitely special.

I like the comment about his safe for "loud things"

[@toddkulzer]

I remember watching Taylor's JK walk around and thinking it couldn't get any better, proven wrong. I have used Taylor and Rebel for most of my build and they are by far, the best shop out there for any Jeep owner. Taylor talks and explains everything like he is your best friend. Brad great video as always and ditto on what Taylor said about your content and your brand. Really love watching your videos.

[@casey3057]

Brad... a massively big thanks to the both of you for this walk around. After years of building and wheeling my JK I’ve reached the point where trying to shoehorn 5 days worth of gear and a family of 4 is just too much. This was a tremendous help in helping me come to terms with moving on from the JK to the JT. 🍻

[@TrailRecon]

So glad you found some value in this video, I think Taylor did a great job of explaining so many things forks are interested in.

Not Practical though .

[@17fourU]

Yes. You (everyone else), too, can build out your Jeep Gladiator, for the low low price of only, $100,000 dollars. Yippee!!!

[@oneslackr]

@@17fourU : Meh, different strokes for different folks. No reason to be a hater. It's only money & $100K is pocket change for some people, just a rounding error in their bank account. His JK was nice & so is this JT.

I love Brad’s videos, but never as much as this one. Thank you... first time I’ve commented, and the genuine love for the Jeep and family lifestyle was terrific. Thank you both.

Thank you so much and great to hear you are enjoying the videos!

Thank you!

[@chadng84]

Your amazing Brad love and look forward to your content every time you post it brightens my day I can’t wait to get a build going if my own you’ve inspired me to get out and explore our beautiful country. Thank you for your service to our country as well. You sir are an amazing person.

Keep trying to talk the wife into letting me get a gladiator. Gonna show her this and try to get her to give in 😉 great video Brad, also happy belated veterans day brother! 😁🤙🏼

Fingers crossed for you and thank you!

Magllua, I bribed my wife to get the overland model by making our first trip to outlet mall with my CC. It worked, now just have to save up for the down payment 😁🛻🛻🛻

I just got a 2021 Gladiator Mojave and it took a while to convince the wife. However it was worth every second. I already added a front bumper.

Taylor knows his stuff. I have spoke with him and purchased from him in the past. Will already use him and Rebel Offroad for my builds.

I’ve always despised gladiators for some reason, this truck proved that I need to re-evaluate my opinion on them. Damn that sucker was pretty.

Seriously though! Thank you Brad for making such great videos. You’re on another level when it comes to the creativity and quality of your videos. I’ve learned so much from your videos since buying my first Wrangler a little over a year ago. Thank you for making such informatively great videos!

I would agree with him. Your content is amazing. I enjoy every single video you post. You content is so enjoyable, especially since a lot of people these days don’t really go anywhere. It’s very nice to view and dream of doing this type of stuff one day. I really enjoyed your last video being in Baja.

Great looking JT. Come on back to Wyoming anytime (I live in Wyoming)

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I should have left my Jeep Compass plain Jane. If I saw this Jeep in the parking lot I would park at the other end of the lot then go to check his Jeep out...awesome mods although well-equipped it's not overly done. The silver paint and those custom seat covers are outstanding. Great video, Brad! Uh, excuse me, I need to go to the store and buy a couple of lottery tickets.

[@morgancook6481]

He's right Brad, awesome content as always!!

Like that Front Bumper and Winch combo setup. The color matched bumper looks really good

[@drak0n420]

Holy crap that table is awesome. I'm going to have to find one for overlanding instead of my camp kitchen one cause that saves so much space!

Great Content! Lots of cool usable things on the JT

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

What a great build and tour but even better the conversion. Thanks for sharing this content with us.

[@willb3018]

Really an awesome build. I know its all personal taste but that is the best looking front bumper I have seen.....and the rear isn't too shabby either. Agree with the owner about those round KC lights. Old school look on and old school looking vehicle. Perfect. And agree with the statement at the end.

This build is sick! You don’t have to get the top dog rubicon especially if you are gonna build it up. Love the safe for “loud items” hahaha.. especially going into cougar and bear country. Only thing missing is a rifle mount for bolt action.

Truck U showed a kit from Baxter Performance for the Gladiator that prevents the engine oil drain back issue. 30 minutes after shut off all the engine oil drains back to the crankcase, even the filter is bone dry. Every start up is a dry start.

He does it for a living, he will eventually sell it to someone. It’s an advertising piece. And his wife supports his dreams. Besides he got at least 70k for the first iron man build.

[@hecticphusion]

hah, you think he paid for half this stuff? Based on the fact that he's got stickers advertising all the companies that he put parts from into his truck, he likely got most of the stuff for free.
