Jeep Gladiator Rubicon vs Moab Cliff Hanger Trail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Now that our Jeep Gladiator is on a 3" Rock Krawler X Factor lift and 37" Milestar Patagonia tires we wanted to take it to Moab to run the hardest trails Moab has to offer. Our second stop was the Cliff Hanger trail which is rated an 8 out of 10 in difficulty and is not for the faint of heart. The largest obstacle on this trail runs along the side of a very large cliff which adds to it's pucker factor. With us were our friends in their Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon on 37s, and a Jeep Wrangler JKU Sport on 35s.

Back in my wheelin' days the only thing I didn't care for was the shelf roads. Great episode...enjoyed it.
Agreed. Black Bear 🐻 Pass scares me as a teenager in the late 80’s. Now as an adult it makes me want to strap a parachute 🪂 on my back. And I wouldn’t even think of doing it in the rain.
Awesome video! I would enjoy wheeling with you… I appreciate your low-key and technically sound approach vs. overly dramatic and loud… thanks for sharing! 👍💯🇺🇸💪
Thanks so much!!!
Very nice...great tire placement and throttle control! Gladiator is impressive!
Thanks!!
Well done on repping the Gladiator and proving that is a capable wheeling platform! Also Hydro Blue for the win!🤘🇨🇦
thanks!!
Incredible. Stunning views. Matt, you are a pro, sir. Everyone did awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!!
The rock with the mountain bikers… it’s going to be tough for me, but man do I want to do it. Great stuff!
I did this trail some years back in my 2011 JK with only front lockers. That spot you are talking about is the only spot on the trail that gave me trouble.
@@w9jim I’m going to try to hit in September, good to know! I’ll bring some bigger buddies with me just in case.
The bikers opted to climb down instead of sending it!
Crazy, I had a butt pucker on the couch, but awesome views, the drone shots are really awesome to see, but this was the best video I've ever seen doing this, my wife had to leave the room a couple of times lol...
That made my day!!
Insane video, you make it look simple. Like the positivity all around the videos. Keep going. Props from Portugal
Thanks so much!!
Awesome! Great job on this video, Matt.
Wow bro you and your team so great ❤️👍👌 love from india
thanks!!
Absolutely beautiful out there and I can't wait to see the area next May. Thank you for doing this trail and showing us so I never have to!!!!
I'm my new favorite trail in Moab!!!
Great video, Matt. Again, hate I couldn’t make it.
Very cool trail, well done.
Awesome! Was just there 3 days ago! We did Shaffer and Whipeout Hill Loop!
Shaffer is gorgeous!!! We haven't done Wipeout Hill.
Excellant video! The drone makes the views very dramatic and breath taking I can only imagine the view from the drivers seat or passenger seat for Cara, is thriling. I really enjoyed this episode of OOA I have watched it 3 times.
Thanks!!
The best video on Cliff Hanger; it always amazes me, this video should have 111,110 views by now, from Off-Roaders around the World. Congrats, on the driving & awesome filming.
That difficult hill made me pucker up just watching the video!!! A small part of me wants to build a jeep and do this kind of a trail. The much bigger part says HELL NO! I will just enjoy watching you do it!!!
LOL. It was a lot of fun!
"Bring me my brown pants!" That looks like fun but my wife refused to watch the cliffside drive lol. Every time I see the gladiator at Moab I'm more impressed at what it can do with that longer wheelbase! I just ordered mine today and can't wait to get it in! And I'm only about 4.5 hours from the BoH trails in AR so hopefully we'll see each other on the trail one day!
that's awesome!! I'm really loving the Gladiator!!
The Gladiator paired with lockers will climb anything!
Awesome video you guys have so much fun together
Thanks so much! Yes we do!!
That was epic!! Love Cara's reactions on the way back...she didn't want to die..lol!!!!
Good stuff looks like fun!
I love the gladiator vids! But I do miss that Unlimited
One of my all time favorite trails! Coming back out is so much fun. Thanks for posting.
thanks!! It's my new favorite.
Love the audio editing especially during the intense moments almost thought I was watching some high dollar cinema movie.
As always great video!!
absolutely love your videos! been binging the channel for a while following the adventures! gotta say its making me want to move out of new york!
Cara! We need a support group! I definitely would have died of a heart attack on that!
Hahaha!!!
😂😂😂
Awesome vid Matt. I’m going to go ahead and mark this trail off of my list. I’m good. Lol
The black Jeep is making the same noises as the Titanic when it sank in the movie. 😆
😂😂😂
Great work!!!
Thank you!
Another great trail in Moab. You and the JT handled it very well! Cara reacts similar to my passengers lol
LOL. Thank you!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Two words. Insane WOW.
Wowzers that was excellent!!!
Nice vid just traded in my jlus for a gladiator rubicon. In the process of adding a lift and tires.nice build
Thanks!
This was so intense. 😬😬 Great job 👏
Thank you!! 😁
Having seen a Jeeper go off a cliff and die in Moab, this was scary to watch!
I was there when the guy slipped off Gemini Bridges many moons ago.
Oh dang!! I haven’t seen that.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Yeah there is a plaque now in the guys memory on top of the arch.
Glad you made it OK. That was intense! 🙂
The soundtrack in this video is driving me nuts lol
Turn the volume down. 🤷🏼♂️
Nerves of steel.
People must be holding the steering wheel at 6 o'clock position.
Every time they are told to Turn Driver, they turn the opposite direction.
😂😂
I wanna go!! ☹️☹️
See! Your videos do inspire me. Cheep, throw away steel bumpers
I noticed your suspension squeeking a lot. If I remember right it is Rock Krawler. I have a Rock Krawler lift on my JLUR and had the same problem. I believe the noise is coming from the sway bar links. I called them and asked about it and was sent new sleeves for the swaybar links. Apparently some were cut too short and when torque to spec, the bushing is actually being smashed. Installed the new sleeves and the problem was fixed. Might be worth looking into as it could become a safety issue down the road.
I was a dufus and forgot to grease the control arm joints after installing the lift. I greased them as soon as I got home and it's super quiet now.
Hew wee. More pucker factor music. Sully is a beast. Nice work.
I hope you updated your life insurance. 🤣
😂😂 Thanks!
I didn’t think Cara would have been so scared of being on the edge like that. Guess it’s always different when you’re in the passenger seat.
Being in the passenger seat is very different than being the driver.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures that’s why it’s hard for me to get my wife to go on sketchy trails. Lol
I just couldn’t. The off camber parts were ALWAYS leaning to the passenger side with the bluff being RIGHT there!!!! I would much rather be driver!!!!
@@frenchie4wd I feel the same way. I like to feel like I have some control over the situation.
That Rock krawler suspension is pretty new are you getting creaking noises like that in your daily driving as well or just off road?
I was a dufus and forgot to grease the joints after installing it. I greased them as soon as I got back and it's super quiet now!!
fantastico!!!!!
Thank you!!
Heading west from Charlotte NC in a couple weeks, plan to do the Rubicon Jeep Jamboree and a few days in Moab. I’m on 2.5”, 37” tires and a complete under armor set up but I’ll be by myself with just the wife and kids, what’s some trails you’d recommend to do in Moab that wouldn’t get to ugly but still be a challenge?
Best thing you can do if youre running a spare off the back on a small lift JK is take a hitch and flip it upside down so it runs up and under the spare like a slider.. So it takes the slide on those drops and not grabbing your spare on it to rip off.
I wasn’t running a spare on this one.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures No, I know. I was referring to the JKU that was nearly dragging its spare on the shelf drops. Great vid, love the place. Just got back from a Moab trip today.
Who was the guy with red tee shirt and hat that did a lot of spotting?
And another great video and awesome trail
That’s Robert
Is that the Setpower RV45D in the back of your Gladiator? Just ordered one (loved your review). How did it do on your Moab trip?
Yep. I took it to Moab and it did great and had no problems keeping up with the 100+ degree temps.
Did you discover any damage after that trail? If not that is impressive that was a serious course right there.
No damage after this one.
“This one”. 😬
Hi! What tire size have the gladiator? 35x 12.50?
37 12.50
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I appreciate it thank you, our gladiator has tire 35x12.5
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures hi! OoA you gladiator have 2” mopar lift?
@@joseandujar9177 it’s a 3” Rock Krawler X Factor lift. I love it!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thank you! I appreciate your answers and time💪🏽
Bummer on the CV. The 4runner would have still gone on this trail though no? Does the 4runner have spindle gussets as well?
Robert wasn't planning on taking the 4Runner on this trail anyway. We were going to run Steelbender first but ran this one first instead so the 4Runner could be fixed and run Steelbender in the afternoon.
Wow
Awesome video. What size tires and wheels on the gladiator?
In this video I’m on 37s with 17x9” wheels
Why does the gladiator seem to have such a loud suspension compared to the others?
I needed to grease my control arm joints. It's quiet now.
Great video on cliff hanger. Id like to know what the lift is and the tire size on the Gladiator. I have a 2” Mopar lift and 35” tires and wonder how I’d do on this trail.
3" Rock Krawler X Factor with 37" Milestar Patagonias. You would definitely drag more than I did.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures what about Nick ? Looks like some standard steel "D" slot or "bullet" hole rims, but more curious about his tires.. what typpe.... looks like they wernt doing him any favors compared to the patagonias. Great video ! Makes me feel better about my choice in the Gladiator.. I ordered the same stitched seats, don't see them as often. your skills make it look easy ! Great video, thank you !
What is up with the bikes on the trail?
Mountain Bikers love Moab!!!
thats scary
I just got back from Moab but didn't attempt the Cliffhanger, do you think it could be done in a stock "Extreme Recon" Rubicon?
Definitely. The JK with us was on a mild lift and 35s with no lockers. You would be just fine.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thanks!
I recently did Cliffhanger. It was no joke. JLUD on 35’s with lift and had to get pulled up the famous Cliffhanger obstacle.
Enjoyed your video.
What size lift/tires are you running on the gladiator?
In this, 3” and 37s.
Just curious, what was the smallest tire used on those jeeps. Thanks
the JKU has 35s. The JLU and the JT have 37s.
What size tires on the rigs
37s on the JT and JL and 35s on the JK
Brilliant... only Americans can do this..
What gears are you running with the 37s?
In this video I had the stock 4.10s. I have since regeared to 5.29s and running 38s.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures how was the 4:10 with 37? I’m planning a trip out to Moab Aug and currently running 3.5 lift on 35s would like to go 37 and 4:88 but if the 4:10 is fine with 37 for now I’d rather save the cash. Also driving from NH to Moab 2400 miles
I want to wheel with you... my lord talk about living life.
Wouldn't that be funny if you got back to the end and they told you that isn't the route they use anymore.
I would have punched someone. LOL
Jeep gladiator my dream car but don`t have my country in kurdistan iraq
If i ever do that trail i m dring extra pant and underwear
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
😆 lol...wait that hair..how old are you...and what age were you going for??🤣🤣
Didn't know age had anything to do with it. Life is too short to be boring.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures that's hilarious!🤣🤣
Kill the music. It doesn’t match and was chosen by a deaf person
Music is perfectly fine if you had enough brain cells 🤡
@@RyansBeans it is not. Engine sounds are the best. But if you don’t off road like you, I can understand why you do not have the ability to differentiate. I shall light a candle for you at the satanic church.
Why you tear up your gladiator like that? More money than brains?
I didn't tear up my Gladiator. It's what I bought it for.
Didn’t see any damage but why you think we buy these rigs? They’re a little over built for grocer getters
I’m sorry Matt. As a headphone watcher I had to abandon ship 🛳 about 15 minutes into the video. The overpoweringly loud suspenseful Indiana Jonesish music was just to much for me brother.
That's a bummer. sorry the levels weren't good. I edited it listening on headphones and it seemed ok in the editing process.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Who knows.. Perhaps it's on my end. No worries I still love you guys and what you're doing!
