    Hit the nail on the head about the reputation of toyota and nissan vs jeep, I been to the states a bunch of times wheeling and desert racing and jeeps are the pick and people over here have no idea. Pretty funny how people think they’re rubbish without actually knowing what they’re talking about

      I've been 4wding for 40yrs and the last 25yrs building Jeeps 😮😮
      Sadly the Aussie scene has zero idea that Jeeps helped win WWII and started the whole 4wding crazy in the early 50's ❤
      The greatest Wheeling Truck's being fabricated are Jeeps and the rest just wish they were 😂😂🤣
      The Toyota/Nissan set don't understand that the largest number of 4wds around the world are Jeeps with the biggest range of after market support.
      Now what the boy's are trying to do is reinvent the wheel on this JT and Justin should have gone to EVO in the US, talk to Mel Wade for the EVO Coilover/Long-arm kit that is the industry leader in Suspension design & Systems for Jeeps.
      Another thing required for this is the PSC Hydro Steering System for better street & Offroad Wheeling

    fark, where's the tissues. Every motoring enthusiast in Australia needs to thank guys like Justin for doing stuff like this. Building a road legal, well engineered off roader that isn't constrained by parameters, that the anti motoring enthusiast pen pushers would like us to feel we should be grateful for.

    Woohoo welcome to the family. As a proud owner of a Gladiator I can't wait to see what you guys do.... Have fun in this 100% adventure machine. Your summary of current attitudes of LandCruiser and Patrol 4WDers is so spot on... Never thought I'd hear anyone publicly admit it... We'll done. Finally 🤩😋
    BTW I believe your PCOR tray is the best looking Gladiator aftermarket tray out there... If you could build one with deeper drop sides I'd get one.

I'm pleased to see that you didn't skimp and got the Rubicon package! And hopefully you will get a chance to take Your Rubicon on The Rubicon trail, after it has been PCOR built! 🤞🙏🤙🤟👍

    52:00 actually on a solid axle you don’t need to. If you move the shocks inboard on the tubes it will get more articulation angle at the same travel number. That’s why they work so well, you don’t need much suspension travel to have excellent articulation. That and weight transfer is better at slow speeds.

    Awesome build! I'm happy to see it's getting easier to get American trucks in OZ. When I was there, there were a few specially imported full size trucks through Thailand. Now we're seeing proper factory trucks from the US. I think you'll be really happy with the offroad ability of the Jeep. Hard to beat a Jeep on 40s.

  • @zbeasty
    @zbeasty 2 роки тому +3

    Can't run 35s off road on the stock JL/JT in Australia because we don't get the factory high clearance guards that they get in the US (ask me how I know ;))
    It's a shame that we can't get the JT with the 3.0 diesel in Australia. With a tune they're almost as quick as the 392 Wrangler. The 2.2 diesel in the export JLs is alright but definitely lacks a little grunt.
    Looking forward to the rest of the build. Would have liked to have seen DS Trac portals but can't have everything. Could probably fit 40s with just portals and maybe the US guards.

Sure most are never going to see dirt, but that is not really a bad thing... most Porsches also never see the track. Jeeps have a lot of appeal to youngsters and they also have that "celebrity factor" every influencer on tiktok or celebrity has a jacked up Jeep with every mod imaginable and yet they just drive them on the beach in California. It is a statement rather than a work horse.

    Get the Falcon 3.3 or 3.5 shocks. Way better and stronger. Get the rock jock rear sway bar flipped sway bar. Definitely get some hydro bump stops for the front. Look and Artec Industries for the belly pans. I would have gone with 1.5 ton steering aluminum steering tie rod and drag link as well as hydro steering from steer smarts or get the steel steering box. Also look at the steering and upper front track bar bracket from Synergy. You can probably call Northridge 4x4 and get everything directly from them. With the axles you are putting underneath you will create weak points if not dealt with.

    There’s some good jeep after market here, but the RHD market is lacking a bit and needs a kick in the pants.
    Though I don’t reckon the standard axles are weak, in fact. At least not on the rubis. But definitely running 40s is a bit much for the D44s or variants of.
