Did you guys happen to catch what size tires and lift the gladiator had?

I have a 1947 CJ-2A and a 2017 JKU Recon edition. I can tell you, it is a completely different driving experience in a flat fender CJ2 over the JKU. You have to pay attention A LOT more.

It’s not like they’re gonna leap into the Jeep while we’re driving. Lol This is all in regards to when you set up camp.

I'm sure Kevin and Brit will BEAR that in mind 😁

Matthew Hatton Hahahaha it’s a boat with a tray on the back

Don't forget about the Ram Power Wagon lol. Makes the gladiator look like a mini Cooper.

American Citizen have you seen the Howitzer build from diesel power products? Thing does pretty damn well

I have gladiator ecodiesel and trust me if you build them rt there is practically no place it can't go. Plus it hauls more gear to make a happy wife and trips more pleasurable

Lots of info here www.rubicontrailfoundation.org/

Maxdady01 All stock on 31 😁

Ppl act like a truck off road is unheard of lol. Way more trucks in the woods than jeeps. Just saying!

It’s what several of the people around the obstacle claimed it to be. Since they were from the area, we went with it. 😊

@@LiteBrite In 2020, RTF is planning on doing a video that stops at the "Named" obstacles and give a history of how places like Whale Bones, Nobie's Rock, Walker Hill, Benchmark (where Kevin did it twice, before Soup Bowl), etc got their name. Unfortunately, our main trail historian Steve Morris passed away in July at Jeepers Jamboree. The top of Cadillac Hill is called Morris Rock, after him. Sadly, all the OG's are dying.

Ted Donley me too that’s why I made him do it ha ha I knew Keven couldn’t pass up a challenge😝

Candace Lambert - Xena was just fine, just look at her in part 2, she was asleep most of the trail comfy cozy on her raised fluffy bed 😁🤙🏼

@@dogsadventures232 haha thats good :) her face was just so funny

peeps been going to 37s since before the jl was around

@@pitbull62 Peep's had to be cuttin and shit too. The JL? Nope they go right on.

It's pretty wild when you think about it, dudes were wheeling hard on 31s and 33s back in the 80s and now you have rubicons coming with 33s stock and everyone ditching those in the first few weeks of owning them. just imagine the monster trucks of the future lmao.

😁🤙❤️

You are right she did get it wrong but this is only the second time they ever been on the trail

We spent time in Uncle Toms Cabin right before we entered the trail last time around, so that was our reference point.

Exactly Sam....Same with Top Gear suggesting there was a "short cut" from Uncle Tom's to the Kiosk, when no such route exists. Wentworth Springs, for those reading is the original entrance to the trail, and there are actually 2 entrances on that side, WWS Road and Airport Flat. These 2 merge shortly before the start of 14N05 to McKinstry Lake. The Loon Lake entrance, is relatively new, when the County got an easement sometime in the 1970's. The Loon entrance is now the most common entry point, but WWS road still exists and is quite challenging in spots, especially Lost Sluice or Forgotten Sluice that almost nobody has done in the last 2 decades, but it's there. Post Pile is very difficult, but there is a bypass. WWS and Loon merge together at the "Intertie". RTF Placed a granite marker there, it can been seen in the background at 16:35.

Jeff Shapiro Xena is a great trail dog and this was not a good moment for her, but part 2 shows her in her true state 😁🤙🏼

Thanks! 😁👍

Wait, Kevin can have Milestar Patagonia's on his RC Jeep ? 😁

@@Grumpy_old_Boot yessir and they make beadlocks just like what's on the step child as well.

@@drifttrash37 Oh dang, that's pretty neat. I wonder if Kevin knows ? 🤣 Edit : Dang, someone even made a review of them : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcmggtSomtircp8.html

🤣🤣🤣

It seemed to go well with the Jeeps around me! Haha

Lite Brite most definitely 🙄😂🤣

I want one to overland! It's a perfect rig for it

chop it down to a single cab and itd have the angles

The JT is still amazing as it is probably one of the most capable overlander trucks. Most Tacomas couldn’t do half the stuff a gladiator can do on the rocks. But I agree the JLU is the do everything jeep.

@@spencereyes235 Yeah, trying to overland in a 2 door is pretty rough but it's doable. You just have to have a hiker's mentality when it comes to gear if you plan on going by yourself or with other 2 doors. I personally always camp with other people that have tacos, 4runners and unlimiteds so I buy them gas so they carry some of my stuff for me lol.

Justin Young we haven’t really found a need and we don’t support wayalife with the way they have treated us.

Kevin Williams I haven’t met wayalife in person yet but may I ask you to inbox me what you mean about how they treated you? If it was a negative experience I don’t want you to respond on here but I’m just curious, I’ve always heard positive things about them but I like to hear everyone’s perspective

Sir Breeden all you have to search is Eddie oh and jeep. You will find endless information

I've been through the Rubicon hundreds of times. The first time I took my GF, she kept asking...What's that noise? What's that noise? I finally said...Honey, I know all the noises. When I hear one that's new, you'll be the first to know.

CALEN WEED eventually I will take my FJ out there, but lately work has other plans lol

@@sirbreeden3375 awesome I'm currently redoing my whole front suspension geometry.

Pretty sweet 4runner man

@@sirbreeden3375 thanks I have a lot of time into it. Builtnotbought haha

It’s not like the bear is gonna try scrambling into the Jeep while we’re driving. Lol This info is for setting up camp.

Mark Putnam lol

We’re already in Las Vegas! 😊

Keith and Wi Adventures thanks!! Our schedule is posted on Facebook and IG. best to contact us on fb for that kind of stuff.

You too!!!

Jeff Y the old sluice entrance has been amped up, because someone put a big rock right in the middle of the entrance, so the right turn down is a lot tighter than it could be.

We did old sluice the first time we did the Rubicon Trail (you can watch the videos from last September!) 😊

They were not wanting to run it do to a lot of the rigs within the group not being built enough to tackle that section. 🤙🏼

Baked Beanz on Toast Hahahaha I’m exactly the same mate

We just camped with them two nights ago!

@@LiteBrite Brad said He spotted a Mountain House Granola breakfast meal on you fender..😂
