These New Shocks For Our Jeep Gladiator Are IMPRESSIVE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2024
- Its time to install some nice shocks on our Jeep Gladiator! Having the ability to make compression and rebound adjustments is a really nice feature, helping us really fine tune how we want our jeep to ride on road as well as on the trails. We installed the shocks and then made a trip out to Little Sahara State Park here in Oklahoma to check it out and have some fun!
These shocks are from Xtreme Gravel Gear, a shock company based out of New Zealand. They will hopefully be available in the US market soon! These offer high quality oil seals, racing oil, compression and rebound adjustments, finned reservoirs, and fully serviceable and can be re-valved for custom tuning.
www.xtremegravelgear.com/off-... The shocks are very well built, with impressive features that work well!
Between these shocks and the hydraulic bumpstops in the front, the jeep is able to really soak up large impacts at higher speed! Being able to get Mojave level performance out of a Rubicon is pretty cool if you ask me...

Always down for an adventure in the JT😆
I run the Pro XL shocks here in NZ, the rebound and compression damping is a game changer when I need to set my rig up for on and off-road terrains!
Gladiator content!! ❤
Very close to where I graduated High School. Glad you are finding the little gems of Oklahoma.
This year we will hopefully have more time to make more trips to some cool Oklahoma parks!
I too run XGG pro XLs in my hilux here in NZ, they’re awesome, could run over a minivan and not notice
Am thinking of doing same for wrangler jlu. In south is. Who did your fitting? And. Approx $?
@@judecollett7004 the team at XGG fitted themselves but most tire shops will do it for under $150 including an alignment
Getting back to the roots of the Channel. The race jeep was cool and all but this is way better. 👍👍👍👍
I loved your race Jeep series… Really interesting and I know it’s going to make you even better at providing informed opinions in your already outstanding content…for the regular enthusiasts. Thanks!
Definitely take the Race Jeep to the dunes! 👍👍
Glad to see you guys using OnX! We'll share some more information on it when we visit in a few months.
Thanks for the mention.
You're really making us want to get a JT
I need some of these! I have been wanting to upgrade my shocks
I bought a Gladiator last year and am looking forward to new content you guys upload for the JT!
Wohoo! Gladiator content. Currently trying to decide what shocks to go to next after my 4 year old factory fox shocks. Thinking non adjustable Falcons or Bilsteins.
I’m from Oklahoma, and I’ve wanted to visit Little Sahara and use my Jeep a bit, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Glad to see a place semi-local, though!
I am soooo glad that I bought my ‘20 Gladiator… mine is a sport so it will hopefully be getting built this year and you have definitely given me some inspiration… I would have loved a Mojave but there expensive even used so I’ll be building my own version. I’m actually kinda glad I went with a lower trim but time will tell…lol
As always guys loving the content and keep up the incredible work! 👍
OK ... that vid was sic !! Yall never disappoint. Great content ....
Great content! Thanks for sharing!
Love you have some gladiator content again!
@JK Gear and Gadgets, Good to see you putting out more frequent content, really enjoy the channel.
Good to see Kassy (sp*) in the shop with you again keeping it classy too! Love the duo
Awesome video. Looking slim!
Litte Sarah is awesome place for side by sides!
I run the XGG Pro XS shocks in South Africa, really impressed, next level shock, great value. Awesome video thanks man!!
Holy crap. I gotta look that place up. Make a little day trip down from Wichita
This guy knows his stuff! Sweet vid man
"BENJAMIN!" Oh that was hilarious! That felt like the cab of my Jeep when I am about to push it too far. ha ha!
Woah, Retro! Integrated bumps!
Shocks look great. I love that they address the Rebound adjustment! So many companies don’t. I’m concerned with the upper bushings on the front. They should be offset as much as possible to get the shock body away from the frame rail, otherwise it will hit the frame during articulation. Either that or a relocation bracket for the lower axle mount.
I flipped them around so the offset was the correct way
Looking like a decent shock / set up, I too have the Falcon 3.3 shocks and really like them over the Fox stocks.
What about your steering set up, any updates or reviews on them? Also the Apex kit?
Thanks
I would love to see u do a review on the new MC rocksport black shocks
I love that front bumper what brand is that one
What an awesome place. Google mapping it- 21 hours- damn it!!! Lol
Bolt in triple bypass or sdi eclik would be my top choices.
Great video ! I have a 2022 JL392 I NEED new suspension. Whats the cheapest but also squishiest and softest riding suspension you guys know of that you would recommend?? Help me!!!
I live a couple hours from there, I have a semi race Jeep and need some friends to go to the dunes with lol.
Did you replace the aluminum knuckles with either the cast iron ones off a Mojave or from Reid racing or some other brand?
I have a 3 1/2 inch lift on my JK. What did you do with your fox shocks?
I have a 2023 gladiator with rock crawler 4 1/2 inch lift kit and I run 37 inch tires a few times a month I go deep in the back country with my modified teardrop trailer, I also do long day trips, I owned a bronco raptor which I don’t think anything compares in comfort so being spoiled from that I’m trying to find the proper shock to give me the best possible ride with total adjustability for towing and then when I’m not towing or if I’m up in the mountains on highway speeds on winding roads I want good handling so I having all that adjustability is really nice I thought about the fox 3.0 but that may not be the correct shock? i’ve had the 2.5 shocks on a JL they were good but not totally impressed, I’ve been considering the Falcons with the electronic adjustability it would be nice to be able to fly over the chatter bumps like I did on the bronco raptor ha ha any advice would be great I’m just trying to reach out to as many folks as possible and since rock crawler lift runs tall are having a very high quality shock with all the adjustability would just be great any input advice would be very helpful thanks for the awesome video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sell me those Falcons! I'm going to try to get a set this year if the Bidenomix allows.
Looks good 2nd run, now wait till there broke in a bit and re review them.✌️
What are you going to do with the Falcons?
Looking good bro you lost tons of weight.
Maybe I missed it but how is a rebound adjustment doing anything at the static end of a solid shaft?
I can only find these in 2 1/2 inch lift is that what you used.
When will they be available in the US?
Good video. I'll take your old falcons. They gotta be better than the RC ones I have now. 😂
Question, would the gladiator fox shocks fit on a 2020 jl rubicon 4dr? A friend was going to give me a set just wondering if they would work. Thanks
The fronts will, but the rear won’t, they use different lengths and larger bushing/bolts.
Thank you
Are these digressive, progressive, or linear shocks?
Linear
@@JKGearandGadgets awesome, any idea on price point once they come to the states?
@JK Gear and Gadgets also, if you are needing a place to store those Falcons you can store them on my Jeep. :)
@JK Gear and Gadgets Get some paddles on beadlocks for the rear of your race Jeep and hold on...🎉
New Zealand company, but where are the shocks made?
How are the balancing beads working out?
Pretty good as usual. They will rarely be “perfect” with balance beads, but much cheaper than taking in for a full balance
Curious about the cost & how to purchase ? Thanks to you sharing the link I checked em out but seen nothing about purchasing or costs thanks. As ALWAYS love the channel & videos brother / sister lol
They are priced around 1,300 for the set, plus shipping etc. Currently there are no USA vendors but hopefully that changes soon!
@@JKGearandGadgetsFor a set of 2? Or set of 4?
Well I see all of their various offerings on the website, but no pricing or where to buy.
Other than that, it's a nice promo 🤣
Not available in the US market yet unfortunately. Hopefully they will start selling here soon because they seem to be really nice shocks.
Would you recommend them over fox or falcon?
I’m guessing there’s no way of knowing how they compare head to head to the fox 2.5 that come with the Mojave?
What makes them better in your opinion?
what bumper is that on the front of the gladiator?
Barnes4wd, I just looked for a link but can’t find it on their site anymore
How many miles have you done in this Gladiator?
Approaching 73k
i wish i was your little brother so i can have all your old stuff
You didn't mention the on road performance.... 🙂
I did forget to talk about that 🤣. Will follow up! But they feel great on the road, soak up bumps great and still leave the jeep with a “planted” feel.
Whaaaa...somebody removed Falcon shocks?!?!
Dibs on the old Falcons.......
Hello, we are a jeep parts manufacturer from Maiker. We would like to talk with you about more details. How can I contact you?
Damn man you’ve lost some serious weight
Those tires probably weren’t doing the handling any favors hate d Arturo’s
Finally! So over that damn race jeep 😂😂😂
For the love of God bro……..fix that damn windshield!!!!!!
OMG, NO, JUST NO! Unless they drop prices, they will fail. What happen to “Lockers before Lights” and “Junkyard Tons”? Go Fund me for shocks?
They are priced around 1,300 for a set, plus shipping etc. But that is very reasonable for a good shock…
@@JKGearandGadgets Back to Affordable Jeeping… NOPE
Sorry for being the grammar police here but it's truly cringeworthy to hear "dampen" said over and over (in so many videos) when referring to shocks. Shocks are DAMPERS. They DAMP bumps, vibrations, etc. On some, the DAMPING can be adjusted. They DO NOT make anything wet (aka dampen). If you want to dampen something, dampening it with a wet sponge or toil will be much more successful than use a damper.
Sorry, i will work on myself
