Ultimate Jeep Gladiator Rubicon - Overlanding Build, Part 1

[@TopAgenda]

Love your build! Currently waiting on my EcoDiesel JT to arrive and have planned on doing a very similar build for awhile now. I also am a fan of Roofnest and plan on going with the Condor Overland. Great stuff! 👍 would love to see more of this Truck.

[@justinjeffries1554]

Great rig, now let's see some adventures!!

[@DifferentialComms]

Have you checked out our Owyhee video? That's our first adventure video

Shwue… holy crap 💩.. love the slideout bed insert… Nice Rig..😎

[@DifferentialComms]

Thanks!

[@basec4mp398]

Awesome video. Do you have a link to the rock sliders and the pullout bed slider? Thanks

Good stuff Nick! It’s been fun watching the progression.

[@Hudson4426]

I just got a 2021 power wagon and want to make changes as you have to your jeep... new sub man

[@nestorvirgiliomoreira7846]

Jeep maravilhoso!! Tenho um cj5 1969, fabricado aqui no Brasil. Já fiz algumas expedições com ele aqui na América Latina.

[@JesusGarcia-fr5up]

I really like your set up!! Exellent jeep!!

[@DifferentialComms]

Glad you like it! Thanks for you comment!

[@mickelito07]

Congrats, great building!!!… just to ask you if that ARB front bumper blocks the view of the trail camera and if so, how that impacts on the offroad driving performance? Thank you!

[@DifferentialComms]

I'm old school, I don't use off-road cameras. Thanks for your question!

[@desertadventures4221]

Nice video.. there is my subscription

[@DifferentialComms]

Thank you!

[@exoplanetnomad]

Very cool JT Gladiator... Oregon is beautiful, hope you share more off road trips on youtube! Oh, and ditch the CB and get yourself into Ham Radio!

[@ryoc2138]

How do you like the combo of the Clayton suspension with the Falcon 3.3 shocks? Specifically, the on-road ride quality.

[@DifferentialComms]

Clayton tells buyers that some folks complain the Falcon/Clayton combo is too stiff. I like it, personally. Plus, with such a heavy truck, stiff is a necessity. So, unless you're going to run a ton of weight like me, or if you like a firm ride, I say go for it

[@ryoc2138]

@@DifferentialComms I have them and I do think they are stiff. I am waiting for the Clayton kit to come in to install it. I also have about 700 pounds on the back of the truck and I agree, I need a stiffer shock to handle that weight. I just wish it rode a little smoother, but I'm hoping the Clayton ride right kit will at least improve it.

[@adamclancy8706]

Just saw your channel & subscribed. Good stuff.

[@DifferentialComms]

Thank you sir!

[@15jwrangler]

Cool gladiator, dumb vest

[@DifferentialComms]

Thanks for you comment!

[@ovrlnd_g8r]

Are you running all the parts of a mopar 2” lift in combination with the Clayton springs and falcon shocks?

[@DifferentialComms]

The longer anti-sway bar links and lower control arms were the only parts of the MOPAR lift I kept (for a while)

[@johnomahony7364]

Awesome rig. Is that the diesel?

[@DifferentialComms]

It's the gas pentastar

[@trcattle2797]

I think you need more rotopax you don’t have enough.

[@johnburnett1974]

how well do you like the garmin overland gps

[@DifferentialComms]

I really like it. It's great for finding stuff when my smartphone has no reception. What's more, I love it for navigating home. No matter where I am, no matter how remote I am, it knows where I am and what roads to take to get me home. I haven't found anything else that can give me accurate turn-by-turn directions out of the deep backcountry like the Garmin can

[@TB-ew9pb]

Hi Nick! Super build! Question: is your roof rack 55x49 or 60x54? I’m not sure about the correct size to be able to open the roof panels… Thank you! Tomas

[@DifferentialComms]

I'm sorry, I don't know :(

[@xxkaiserxx2505]

Which one should I get as my first truck A Ford 2021 Raptor Supercab or a jeep Gladiator Rubicon?

[@DifferentialComms]

Incredibly different trucks. And it all depends on what you want to use it for. More trails, I'd go G'ator. If you're bombing through the desert with the hammer down, go Raptor

[@OlivierMelcher]

Is your spare a 37 as well? Does it fit deflated?

[@DifferentialComms]

I deflated to 25 PSI and then it fit. Thanks for your comment!

[@RogerJG21]

Question I have a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon I'm going to put a Mopar 2" lift and I want to get a set of Black Rhino Armory Wheel and a set of Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire , my question is can I go 37's with the rub or do I have to get 35"

[@DifferentialComms]

As far as I know, Rubi can handle 37s with a 2” lift. Worked for Nick

What brand are your rock slider rails? Thanks!

Do you worry about being way over weight if you get in an accident?

[@DifferentialComms]

Nope. Thanks for you comment!

[@Fit4Life921]

any issues with front trail cram visibility and that bumper hoop?

[@DifferentialComms]

Just a bit

[@WadeGauthier]

Hi Nick I live in Vancouver and would love to meet up. I have an AEV Brute Double Cab on 37s. It would be fun to meet up.

[@DifferentialComms]

For sure! Let's hit a trail some time!

[@Tango_JT]

Is there a different part number for that Whale Tail CG 1000XL?

[@DifferentialComms]

CRG-CG1000XL plus CRG-CGWT-1

[@Tango_JT]

@@DifferentialComms Thank you!

[@joejoethetireman]

Does the bull bar block your front cam?

[@DifferentialComms]

It does but only a bit

[@richardthomas1531]

Nice to see a fellow Oregonian. Love all your mods but 2 ,#1 Was the Amfib snorkle not available at the time? It has a cleaner look and no hood cutting. #2 Sure looks like your Trail Cameras lost half of the view?

[@DifferentialComms]

I didn't look for any other snorkel than ARB. I have been super happy with their quality. And the trail cam is partially blocked, yeah. But you know what? I never use it haha

[@richardthomas1531]

@@DifferentialComms For some reason the dealer won't order me one and aftermarket has camera but no washer, so my plan is take a sprayer off the hood of a junkyard truck and tee off the window washers ,have to wash windows at the same time but on well.
