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.

It’s a ton of fun, and plenty capable

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 👍👍

It's amazing what stock jeep can do. I have a 22 White Gladiator Willys. Mine is a soft top though.

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

@@VanIsleDisco I have the factory 31 inch mud terrains still. I've been out in some mud a few times and have managed not to get stuck. Bigger tires and a lift are inn the future. Bumpers lights and a winch first.

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.

Great video! Does this one have the limited slip diff?

Thanx for the excellent adventure, I would've gotten lost and ran out of gas and stuck at the beginning. Cheers

did it come with the factory lift?

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? :)

Little bit of bumper drag

It was mostly the rear hitch dragging. But yes, the rear departure angle is not the greatest 😅

Let's not mention the wheel base on these... I really don't see these as great off road vehicles. More of a city jeep and for looks. It is definitely capable just not great.
