Is Motobilts 14 Bolt Truss The New King of Off-Road?!
Good Job 👍 THANKS for sharing
Great video!!
Do you run a rear bar?
I don’t, but I originally planned to run one. What you see in the video is only a front bar and no rear bar involved.
What air compressor and bracket are you running?
I’m running the ARB dual compressor and I made a custom bracket that I came up with to mount it in the engine bay, at the driver side.
@@mudtiremedia NICE, I wish there was something like that available on the open market rather than on top of the engine.
Totally brilliant!
Thank you! I hope it helps!
I'm planning a L8T swap into a 1974 Jeep J10.
Very nice! I’m not familiar with JK stuff at all. Is that a shelf that’s a factory item on a JK or is it something your friend had built? Thanks!
The shelf is an aftermarket brand. It’s something that can be bought for any JKU, but I have a new idea on how to make it even better so I’ll post a newer video with the new outcome soon and it may be more useful to you!
So not knowing how to weld makes this job impossible?
Sadly, yes. If you don’t know how to weld, you’ll have to pay a welder to do the work. But there’s always time to learn!
@@mudtiremedia found a friend who knows how and another that has the material! Will definitely try and learn but I am going to let them handle this because I don’t want a bad weld to be the reason I have some freak crash
Rhino is crap not made in the USA 🇺🇸 false advertising
Sorry but I’m confused on what the false advertising was exactly? The review just happened to use my rhino inflator. And I understand that you dislike rhino, but I’ll defend them by saying that I originally had an ARB inflator that failed months after purchasing for much more money than the rhino unit. And after ARB warranties out the first inflator, the second one failed shortly after and I was forced to try a new brand. This RHINO unit has worked for over a year with no issues. So I have no problem with their products.
This is going to be a great build. Only problem with that truss is when you put your pinion angle I think mine was around 6.8* you can’t zero your spring purches. So they’re going to have a bow in them unless you get the shims.
Thank you, and Your right… With the pinion support tied in, it’s hard to be able to clock the truss. Luckily the end result left the springs nearly straight for the height the Jeep was left at. The Jeep is running 40’s now and sits at just around 4” lift. It is the anvil JKU that is in my Beasley knob video.
Big tip guys. I used Novak for my 51 Willy’s swap
I appreciate you mentioning this. I was determined on using advance adapters for adapting my th400 to my t case, after seeing your comment, I remembered to check Novak options and they have an even better to adapt the t case to the 32 spline output of the TH400. So you helped ME with this.
I overland with my JL with lots of added weight to my Jeep Wrangler JL from the 3.5" Teraflex lift, bumpers, winch, full belly skids, onboard 75qt fridg/ freezer and camping gear to the Mickey Thompson MT tires and more. I put the RJ Antirocks sway bar on the front cause i got tired of disconnecting my sway bar links at the trail. I liked them so much i put the RJ Antirock on the rear. My Teraflex Falcon 3 Series quick adjust shocks keep even more body roll down when traveling on the road. At the trails when i air down i change the Falcon shock setting to the softest settings. Quick and easy. Works perfect. Have had the RJ Antirocks on my Jeep now for 2 years and over 30,000 miles of overlanding and 4x4ing. I just had to replace the swaybar end links cause they were getting loose. I really love the RJ Antirocks. Nice video thanks for sharing
Those Falcon 3.3 shocks are amazing! I used to have them on my JKU and one of my friends still uses them currently. He has a front and rear 3 linked JKU and he also found that they did an amazing job of eliminating sway by dialing in the right settings.
The maverick crushed the gladiator because of price Jeep has lost its mind with their pricing
What back bumper is that
It is the MOTOBILT competition cut rear bumper.
@@mudtiremedia nice can you get it with a receiver
You can’t get the comp cut with a receiver. But they make a model called the crusher and the rock crawler that can be gotten with a receiver in them.
05-07 chevy and gmc 4x4 trucks with the eighth vin digit is a B. it'll have the L33 engine. 5.3 liter aluminum block high output vortec engine. almost all of them came with a 4l60e transmission, which is a fantastic transmission to wheel with. you can pick them up pretty cheap, these days. pull the drive train and then donate the shell to a local charity for a nice tax write-off. it's actually lighter than the amc 4.0, so you don't even have to swap out your brakes.
Great vid man! You think we can make it (dimension-wise) in a RAM TRX? Looked pretty tight there in a few places for you guys so I have serious concerns lol. We've done 7 Jeep BOH trails so far including Windrock/etc so we're not worried about pinstriping but would rather keep all our quarter panels intact if possible haha
Thank you! Your TRX could run 50% of the trail without damaging body panels. But once you pass the half way mark, you are caught in the “chute” of the trail with no turn around. The top section is VERY steep and heavily off camber. The only thing that kept our body panels off the trees and dirt walls were how wide our tires are stuck out. This one is definitely a double black trail.
@@mudtiremedia Gotcha. Any way to tell when the chute starts lol? Like a sign that says "turn back now" or anything?!
Yes! So if you watch the video again at the 9:00 section, this is the last rock garden before you begin to drop into the High risk section. As long as you’re very careful, you could still back your way down the hill from that area and eventually get turned around. If you start to notice that you have dirt walls on your left and right, you’re going into the body damage section of the trail.
Your Rhino USA inflator is a restriction... maybe more than the valve stem. Take that component out of the test.
Is there a LS swap for a 3.7 Jeep Liberty 2006
Great question. As a matter of fact, yes. Advance adapters makes an adapter kit to mount the common longitudinal LS engine into your liberty. The hardest point in the install will be the tight engine bay constraints. So you’ll likely have to use the LS car manifold and shallow oil pan to help with clearance.
@@mudtiremedia do you know anyone that can do this when Am ready
2016 Gen 5 5.3 355 Hp all aluminum block. 2012 Escalade 6l80e now running in my 2007 JK. 4.11 gears. Plenty of Hp and torque. Love It.
THAT is a nice set! That transmission is so great!! I can imagine it changed your driving experience so much
@@mudtiremedia What’s interesting is at 73 years old and my friend at 70 tackled this ourselves. Took us almost a month. Fortunately Larry has a lift at home. We removed the body from the frame. Did this as areas where most of the major modifications were now in the open.
Yeah great, the only fun and capable solid axle vehicle on the market is in trouble. There is no other vehicle that is iconic and capable as a jeep, they are the only body on frame solid axle truck with old school styling, everything else is boring and useless. If jeep went away I would be horribly depressed.
Trust me, the thought of stellantis sabotaging Jeep terrifies me. I LOVE the gladiator and have loved all of my jeeps more than any other vehicle. I honestly don’t ever see the wrangler going away, but I’m afraid they are going to out price the gladiator and ruin its sales enough to decide to cancel it and we lose another iconic jeep.
Ok i am a truck driver and i now how to drive a manual .So i bought one the dam thing will not pull my bass tracker up a boat ramp unless its in 4 low and the dam thing will not back up a drive way that has any grade
Wow that’s unreal! A sad situation for a truck! I’ve heard of a lot of dissatisfied people with the manual gladiator.
Sold! Thanks for the vid
I’m glad it helped!
Bought my 2017 Willy’s in 2017 for 33k, including a hard top and premium tires. Now, the same is over 50k! No way, Jose.
Agree. The increase in price is more than it’s worth now
Similar setup. No complaints with Auxbeam. Although I didn’t use the wiring harness other then cutting off the plug it is top notch and I will be repurposing it somewhere else.
Long term review of these seats? Just about to pull the trigger because my Corbeau’s took a huge dump.
I can happily report that after a year of wheeling in this seat, it still looks completely new! And I was surprised to find that the material actually cleans up spotless after every ride extremely easily. The dirt comes right out with no issues. No stains, no tears, no signs of wear and the entire seat is as firm as it was the day it was installed. I HIGHLY recommend mastercraft. And now that you mention it, I should really do a 1 year review video.
Ordered them today. Thanks for the video and follow up.
your TJ looks so cool, mines is a work in progress just subbed! 🙌
I really appreciate that! It has been a long project. And im glad to have you here. I’ll be creating new content soon.
60k for a jeep is absolutely insane
I completely agree
What a great video with some great shots. Looks like you had a blast. Can't wait to check out a few more videos. Very sweet rig you got.
I appreciate it! If you ever get interested in taking that Tacoma out, let me know because I’m always looking for someone to go ride with.
Ever use spray nine
No I haven’t even heard of it. Is it great? I’m always looking for the next best thing.
the jeep gladiator here costs 132,000 aud or 87000usd without dealer markups. if it were priced a little over than the ranger raptor at 41000usd or f150’s 60,000usd..
WOAH!! That’s way overpriced! I can’t believe they can be that bold on pricing. Also, did Australia pass the extra vehicle tax that was looking to add many thousands onto any SUV/truck?
Oops sorry. Forgot to add that i was pertaining to developing countries (specifically in the Philippines) and that i had to include the converted rate of currency for aud since a lot of Australians might look into this
I really wanted a Gladiator… they priced me out of buying one and I ended up with a Tacoma.
It’s unbelievable how many people were turned away from a gladiator, just by the price alone. They are killing their own sales
Just curious why you chose that brand over Quik-Latch? I’ve been thinking about doing something like this with my carbon fiber hood, but I’m still a little leery of putting holes in carbon fiber.
I’m sorry I have taken so long to respond. I have been away for quite awhile. BUT there is no specific reason that I chose one over the other, other than just the fact that these looked nearly identical and were available next day through Amazon at an unbeatable price. (I didn’t think ahead when I was chopping my hood for the hiline fenders and was itching to drive the jeep) but I have been driving using these pins off-road in dirty conditions with zero issues or regret.
Ive got an 83 full size jeep cherokee 4 door. Basically the same size as an old wagoneer. Im torn between the 5.3 and 6.0 since its such a heavy vehicle. Granted anything will be better than the 110 hp 258 inline 6 it came with but i still wonder if i should opt for the 6.0
If the 6.0 is available in your budget (honestly should cost you about an extra 1000 usually for a Denali with a 6.0) then grab the 6.0 and you won’t regret it. It does come with extra torque right from the beginning. But if budget is on your mind, the 5.3 truly makes great torque and hp that will be a massive upgrade from where you are now. I would love to see this build!
Jeep will always be a low quality company. Nothing wrong with that, and I love my 2013 Wrangler. The problem is the price. Low quality should be inexpensive.
Exactly. They need to rewind their prices to where they were at 8 years ago.
Should have never called it the Gladiator to begin with, since it definitely isn't one
I don’t mind the name so much. I just don’t want to see another true off-road capable Jeep go away from the offerings.
You are forgetting the competition with Ford Bronco vs their Wrangler. As Wrangler owner - they additionally introduced a number of ridiculous upgrades that really didn't address a number of known issues. Wrangler brand new is an overpriced money sink
You are right. Too many of the new options on the Jeep are not wanted or needed.
Hope you're doing well. Love the videos. I'm watching out for the next one.
I really appreciate you sticking with me! Unfortunately lately I’ve had to take a step back from YT because of work volume, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get back to posting regularly in the near future.
So far…. Another issue….. anyone wanting to order….. I tried to actually order a new Jeep Wrangler in Feb24; no Jeep dealer in 3 states would take an order. They were pushing what they had on the lot…. Overpriced over optioned and were pushing the bs 4xe crap……
Love the gladiator...hate the price. Bought Toyota and Ford instead.
I don’t blame you. Especially the new Tacoma is absolutely beautiful!!
I guess this is my next purchase, just butchered my sway bars off my 06 Rubicon and immediately knew my Jeep wasn't gonna cut it for going out on dates. My girl would hate riding in it. So here goes another $500, (the things we do for our women)
Haha yes! I’m in the same boat. I keep trying to make this Jeep more comfortable because my daughter likes riding in it but hates rough rides. Haha. The things we do for these women.
I might have missed it but what are the wheel base lengths on each rig?
Sorry you didn’t miss it. I completely forgot to disclose the actual numbers during the video. But the JKU is 119” long and the TJ is 105”. After I made this video, I couldn’t believe I left that out.
Hey Jeep...go down on your inflated prices and you will sell more inventory!
I see a lot of them on my job and at 1st I liked their look, But after working on them they are really cheaply built and have very little room inside and are not a comfortable vehicle to sit in. Feels like sitting in a sardine can!😂
They were never giving 15% off wranglers. Its just the Gladiator because it is not as popular. The wranglers are still selling, was just in the market for one and they move quickly.
What a freaking good vidja dude👍🏼 I would want this man to research any project I was gonna do in the future. We need him planning our well drilling operations
Thank you!!! I appreciate that more than you know!
The comparison between Maverick units sold to Gladiator units was a real eye opener.
Wich code its the Sem?
Hybrid 4 cylinder engines is a deal killer and in a gladiator it is suicide
Gouging the customers is remembered. Get the Gladiator down to the 50K loaded up and they will sell. At 75K it is still a gouge.
Ford Bronco is here
Excellent channel.Subbed. Whatever happened to stellantis putting the 392 into the gladiator ??. There was alot of talk from them back in 2022 - 23 about it .
