  • While the Land Rover is down for repairs (crank sensor has failed) I decided to head out as a passenger in a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys. This Jeep is completely stock, factory equipped with 33” Firestone Destination MT2’s and a limited slip rear differential. We head out on a several hour adventure through some moderate off road trails to test the capabilities. The driver intentionally drives slow out of caution.

    Wow - impressive for a stock Willys. Could not imagine a Frontier or Tacoma making it as far as you did!

    Thanks for showing what the Willys can do. I test drove one this weekend. It was nice, but quite expensive.

    The Willys is a great and underrated package. I have a Mojave with the six speed stick. I traded a Wrangler Rubicon for it. I love the Gladiator versatility 👍👍

      They certainly work well! Add bigger tires and a lift and it’s a whole different machine.

    Im not jeep bloke, but its great to see everyone out playing in nature.
    Now that we've seen it go down that track, any way we can get you to give us a look at it going the other way, same conditions?
    Cheers for sharing.

      I’ve always wanted to try it the opposite way but never have. Unfortunately though the trail has been cut off by local forestry companies trying to keep us out. I will not be able to try it until a bypass route is created.

    I have just got a 22 gladiator willy's what are the limitations to the Willy's since there is no sway bar option and only tru loc on back axle. NO limiations if you are a skilled driver. I am sure you couldn't rock climb in Utah without a sway axle right? :)
