@@OffGridAdventure awesome. Thanks man!!

@@skkrrtskrrt1470 sounds good but my days of bunny hopping off ledges like that are done. Lol. I do hit the jump on the other side of the lake trail. Thanks for building it, ton of fun.

@@robertjohnston3658 thanks. I went one block on a residential road. I was OK.

@@Spoolingturbski congrats. Great bike. Hope you love it.

Not quite sure what you mean bc just about all mtb trails in this part of the country are in woods. But hopefully this will help: this is mostly a pedal up and bomb down, then repeat kind of place- not really as much flowy XC. All the trails are singletrack through the woods except for the road up which you can see in the video and the power line cut-through from the overlook. If you use Trailforks I would say that they are appropriately color graded. Stay off the blacks for sure. Probably the blues too then based on your comment- they tend to be kind of loose and narrow and most are DH direction. The greens should be doable though. They are still technically singletrack but wider with mellow slope gradients and the fee flowy trails here are the green onces, and they don’t have too many roots and rocks. I just happened to be there this weekend again and got some more trail footage of other trails. Should be up soon. So come back or sub and notify bell to take a look at them. Hope this helped. 🤙

Does Piclic have gates? If so I’ve never noticed because they are always open. I go all times of the year bc I have a place in Deep Creek and tend to detour just to hit it on my way out or back. Sorry this isn’t more helpful.

@@dadventuretv2538 yeah i wasn’t sure about the piclic gate just saw one in your video open. Every time I’ve went the gate to stafford from 15 mile creek rd is closed

@@SilverBulletGX ah roger. I get off 68 at 15 Mile Creek (at the youth center) and head straight to Piclic Rd. I think you can get in that way year round- at least I’ve never had a problem. If time allows when I get to the top of Piclic Rd I’ll go left on Old Williams Rd and then go up Polly Neil Rd to Zumbrun Overlook. Piclic and Polly Neil are two of the most trail like in that part of the park- the rest are just gravel roads.

@@dadventuretv2538 literally the exact route I’m taking today. Always start at the youth center. Piclic to zumbrun, down to poly Neil then hit the abandoned youth center and the surrounding trails. Shit maybe I’ll see you out there one day 💪🏼 I’m in a silver gx470

Lol. I love that little swimming hole that has the short drive down to it on the left of 15 Mile Creek Rd just past Piclic but before the bridge. Have fun today. It is super dry out there right now- was just there last weekend on my way to Bike Bash WV at Big Bear Camplands. A lot of the creeks are nothing but standing pools of water. Will keep an eye out for a Silver GX and say Hi if I see ya! Have you hit Wolf Den State Park?

@@essequamvideri noted. I don’t usually do music, I was just feeling mellow when I made this one. Lol. I have some others up with no music, but they are not traditional RUclipsr story telling vids simply bc I don’t have time in the editing process- this is a very minor hobby and really just trying to pay it forward bc others’ trail vids have helped me- so usually one take and it goes up with as little editing as possible. If you have any questions about Wolf Den feel free to ask me in the comments and I’m happy to answer.

Thanks man. None at all. Fits like a glove.

Hi stupid question but because for some reason Most everything on the mojave is different than other Gladiators should this fit like on the rubicon? Thanks

@@dennyyela6769 no such thing as stupid questions. I don’t see why they would not, I don’t believe there is any difference in either the space where they go or the bolts they use. But don’t rely in me bc I don’t know for sure. I would buy from either Quadratec or Extreme Terrain bc their return policies are good and I would call or email them first to ask- they have people to answer questions like that. Btw- a few months in now and I absolutely love em- best way for my use scenario to carry water (combine with an electric pump or faucet) or fuel.

​@dadventuretv2538 Thank you for Responding I will look into it.

Lol. Low altitude flights only. 😂

Stick to the blues and Leighton’s and Laird’s and there’s a lot of flow with little techy sections thrown in.

@@dadventuretv2538 Awesome, I’ll have to check it out then! Thank you!

@@cre8iveworks yeah man. Have fun. They do have a shuttle too if you’d rather not pedal to the top.

F what other people think or say. There is no code. Do what you want, what works for you, and what you like. If someone is acting like a gatekeeper, kick in the gate. Re comfort, they absorb shock fine for me. You shouldn’t be holding em with a death grip anyway. With bad wrists from years of boxing and Rugby they help a ton. Good luck but don’t tie yourself in knots. If you have wrist issues I highly recommend because they provide support while still allowing sufficient grip for gnar, jumps and drops.

Yup. But this is free and can be done anywhere, anytime, nothing needed. Just a useful hack. And query on the tool- would it actually prevent the truck falling to bump stops in event of a failure? I always wondered about that. Because you are still using the computer, you are just selecting what you want. But does the preprogrammed default in event of failure stay even when you manually select heights? This hack actually kills the electronics to the air sus system, so the only thing that could happen is a bag deflates and you’d lose however much height the deflated bag causes in that one wheel, but should be able to get off trail.

Just add a better aftermarket then it always locks in any gear . You don't have to worry about system fail.

Lol. Sometimes ya just gotta bail on it. But that’s ok bc there is always next time. I dont do much if any editing bc I dont have time, so you get to see it pretty much as is. I do these to pay-it-back so I love to hear when it helps someone find a trail or scope one out before riding it. Yeah not a far drive from Harrisburg at all. I also offroad at Rausch Creek so up that way a bit. If you like rocky tech and boulder slabs, check out Dick and Nancy Eales preserve as Moosic Mountain outside Scranton. A big of a drive but not too far from Harrisburg. It will test your skills. Ride up the dirt road trail Main Street from parking lot and come down either Blueberry Trail or Stonehenge, then repeat and come back whichever one you didnt do. It is all exposed so bring sunscreen! I’m a lawyer and represent a lot of people in Southern Maryland. Down in those courthouses often.

@@dadventuretv2538 Cool man.I been meaning to check out Scranton anyway so that gives me double reason to head up there. Really appreciate it!

Soft sand and snow. Sometimes mud. Don’t need 4 Lo for those but often a locking rear differential helps- mostly from getting stuck if you already have it engaged.

Glad it worked for you! Yup, put fuse in then gap tool should work. The solution might be to do a coil and shock swap. It’s about the same cost as a major repair to the air sus and they have both regular height and a lifted version (2 in lift I think).

@@dadventuretv2538 oof well I just replaced the air suspension 👀 plus valve blocks, compresser, and a few other things. This only began giving me issues when i out 2” lift rods in. I wonder if i just need to replace the ride height sensors? I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nope. Just put it into the height level and offroad mode that you want first, then remove.

Lol. Definitely not me. And I still botched it a bit. Gotta get back in DH shape.

Just hmu and let me know when you wanna go.

Certainly entitled to your opinion. I’ll disagree though. Being able to lock the rear differential in 4Hi has its uses offroad.

Hey, great question. Not if driving on a road, unless maybe you are starting to get stuck, then use it and then discontinue once you get going. If you are on a trail in deep snow, then you can use it. Remember though, Jeeps (at the least the Rubicon but I think all models of the Gladiator) have a Brake Actuated Traction Control System, like what a lot of companies these days have, that will sense wheel spin and apply some brake to the wheel that is spinning in order to spin and thus send torque to the wheel that has grip. So a lot of times that is all you need. Hope this helps. Have fun out there.

If you haven’t should check out Assateague Island too. Sites with asphalt pad l, fire ring and tab and really nice bathhouses in State Park or more primitive sites in Fed part (fire rings and tables but no bathhouses just toilet. They also have completely primitive sites you can hike to or kayak to. Beautiful island. Just be aware flies and mosquitoes are bad in summer and it cab get crowded to get on island and on the road. I like the shoulder seasons best. Watch the ocean side rips there, they can be bad. People drown from time to time when currents are strong.

@@dadventuretv2538 Thank you! Yes, I've camped at both state and national Assateague campgrounds also! I love it! I also went during the shoulder season (in April) - it's been hard to get a site beyond then. I definitely plan to return especially since I developed an addiction to kayaking, lol. Since its tough getting a spot during the high season at Assateague, I really love camping at Janes Island, First Landing and Kiptopeke. I'm always in search of new beaches so I'm looking forward to checking out Cape Henlopen this year too.

Thanks. After probably 25+ uses now I can say that they still work great and go together like Ra ma la ma la ma ka dinga kading a dong as Danny and Sandy would say. Lol

@@dadventuretv2538 Lol! Yea, I really like that Jettle! It seems super convenient for long trips.

Push the “Lockers off” button to the left of the axle lockers switch. They will also disengage when you drop from 4 Hi to 2 Hi.

Squiggly thing. Gtf off my lawn.

Lol. Not everybody counts their worth with subs. So again. Gtf off my lawn. There are plenty of other channels to go watch.

It should work the same as it is only for 4 Hi, which I don’t think there is any difference getting into between an auto and manny. See pages 177 and 323 of your owner’s manual though. I am pretty sure it only works on 2021 or later model years though.

It doesn’t. That other lock is the center diff- comes on when you drop it into either 4 Hi or 4 lo. If the front axle were locked there would be a third lock above the one you are referring to.

I dont think so. I think it was only mud or sand that would lock the axle diff. But I’m not sure bc I don’t have it anymore and it’s been a while.

Bro I sure hope you block copied that! 😁 yeah it’s def cool for certain circumstances. I like it in 4Lo crawling around on rocks when throttle control is important and in 4Hi in sand and mud to allow more spin. I love 4Lo+ and trans in manny when going downhill- allows for great engine braking control.

Not if you know what you are doing. If you’re gonna offroad you better know how to hack, fix and mod your vehicle. Because you may need to do it to get home.

Parked at link below- Geisinger Trail Trailhead on Google maps in case the link doesnt work. I like to treat it as a climb all the way up, bomb down and repeat kinda place. The gravel road (closed to motor vehicles) makes for a simple gear down and sit and spin to the top after each DH run so makes it perfect for this way of riding it. Plus there are so many different DHs from the top that it will keep you riding as long as you have stamina. There is one really big loop that a guy I ran into was doing but I couldn’t find it on Trailforks so I havent done it. I have ridden around the top on the trails to the west of the climbing and that was fine but I liked just bombing em straight down better. I don’t have a lot of chances for 2-4 min DH trails where I live, but I have a lot of up and down kinda XC trails, so when I get to a place like Geisinger with ability to get a long DH I usually take it. Lol. I have not tried the trails on eastern side yet bc most of them go down to a different parking lot so you’d have to pedal some distance over macadam roads to get back to the gravel climbing road and your veh. And I just haven’t had the time or enough energy to do that yet. Lol Would love to come back here with an e-mtb- could get so many more DH runs in and eastern side would be easier to do. Have fun of you get there. maps.app.goo.gl/4gdo62VmeWyKijb88?g_st=ic

If you wanna see owls I have seen both Eastern Screech Owls and Great Horned Owls numerous times at Patuxent River, Jug Bay section and Merkle Wildlife Refuge. In Maryland on the Patuxent River just south of Route 4 and east of Rt 301. One time riding there this summer it was dusk and I was still out on the trails and a Screech Owl lived up to its name as I was riding right under it. Scared me half to death. Lol.

Thank you so much! I'm in the woods every weekend but no luck on seeing any owls 😂

@@angelaillneverseeanowlschm9128 they’re quiet and elusive buggers. Lol. That transition zone between woods and fields around dusk is where I usually see em.

Lol- I bet- that was some long, steep stuff. We have some good gnar in the western MD and PA and WV area. This was at a fest in WV so just a demo. I am getting one between now and end of next year though. Just depends on when I can find the perfect one. Made the call after a multiday trip in the mountains this past summer- by day three I was already low on energy when I woke up, and even the other days I wanted to keep riding but just didn’t have anymore climbs in me. Still keeping my Bronson bc I still love the Amish mtb experience, but an emtb def has a place in my stable. Keep on showing those kids how it’s done! 🤙

@@dadventuretv2538 nice. Glad to see e-bikes finding there place in helping people stay on the bike longer. I ride a GG Smash and just picked up a Tyee Propain, so I’ll be on an amplifier for a while. Going to push this high altitude limit as long as I can. Love the North East trails. Enjoy and stay safe.

Sand mostly. Mud too. Anywhere you want less torque but higher wheel spin but still need a locker bc a front and rear may slip at same time.

Just a out 2 months ago on Walmart website

Thst’s a weird one. Good luck with it. 🤞

@@dadventuretv2538 🤔 yeah it's a real pain in the ass and it looks like it's only a small electrical fault causing a major problem

@@jonnyhead yup. That was the one thing that always was in the back of my head when offroading out in the boonies. I did get the larger bump stops by Lucky8 so at least my oversized tires wouldn’t be jammed in the wheel wells if it lowered, but still would have been tough to get out of some of the places I go. And electrical stuff usually can’t be fixed on the trail. If I kept her I’d have switched to the lifted coils by Atlantic British.
