Putting the off-road capabilities of the Jeep Gladiator to the test on Devil's Slide! Ocotillo Wells off-road adventure, Shell Reef and down Devil's Slide.
Glad to see somebody having serious fun with their Gladiator. If I see one more pavement-based walk-around talking about their equipment I might just vomit. Jeeps are made for fun, so toss your spreadsheets and go get it dirty! (maybe the jeep too ;) Made it out to Octillo Wells years ago, seriously good trails out there.
Can't believe it. This was my old stomping grounds in the early seventies doing what your doing now. We use to go out a road there thru Cougar Canyon about two mi. Before the good sam motorhome resort, on the south side of the canyon we used to pick bags of Peyote buttons.🤫
There is a slide like that one a couple minutes from my house. Maybe not as long but every bit as steep, if not more so. One of the first places I went to try out my new Gladiator Rubi. These things are beasts. Most fun truck I’ve ever owned.
Make sure that you take your Gladiator to the dealership for a new steering gearbox and new track arm. There are several TSB’s for replacement of the items
I'm on the list for those parts with my dealership, they're saying it could take up to 2 years to get those parts replaced because there's about 30 people before me and the parts are slow to come in to the dealership. On the list though, hopefully it will be sooner.
They called me up to get mine done in about a weeks time. Maybe a little longer. But not much more. They gave me the “wait for the people on a list before me.” Because they were only able to order only 3 each week. I don’t understand why. The replacements make it handle a whole bunch differently.
Is it just me? I don’t think that I’d take my $55,000 new Jeep Gladiator to the sand. It plays hell with seals and all of the steering and suspension components for early wear
I always thought that it’s made for off road and the Jeep can take the abuse.. But think about how long that it will last you if you take good care of it and not take it off-road.

That's awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting. Good memories I'm sure, the desert is a beautiful and amazing place!

Awesome! I couldn't agree more!
Nice.
Thanks!

I had my steering box replaced last week. I'm going with Clayton adjustable track bars
I like the classic Cali plates what did they charge you for them, like $25,000
Thanks! Specialty plate fee is $40 per year in CA
I want to see it go UP devils slide
Yes! I will! Great suggestion, thanks!

Mine is a $63K Launch Edition Rubicon, that's before the upgrades. It's built for it and tons of fun!
@@Gladiator4x4Beast My 2020 Gladiator is the “ Sting Grey Overland” model with the tow package with leather interior. It’s a dream to drive now,.

@@1stanich Really lets all stay home and no 4x4?
WTF? Why buy a Jeep, what has always been for off roading and never take it off road???!!! What a sissy!
What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the 37?
