Strictly amateur channel. Mostly POV of cool trails we go on when we remember to turn the GoPro on. You won't see me talking at you or asking you to Smash the Like Button!
Just exploring the U.S. in a built Jeep Gladiator. Camping, overlanding, and rock crawling. Sharing the adventures.

30 degrees of roll with a roof top tent!

Short vid to show that a Gladiator with a roof top tent, boxes up top, racks, and cans of gas can hit some roll without going over. Hit around 30 degrees of roll but I didn't watch the gauge the entire time. This was on Pleasant Canyon Loop in Death Valley.

One smashed fender and some beat up sliders. Worth every ding! This trail is a blast and needs to be on your bucket list!
It's called Chicken Corners for a reason!

The guy in the green shirt has some questionable approach-calling skills.
Pucker up pass! 😂🏜️🇺🇲
I took my completely stock Astro van up to the falls one time.. not my wisest moment - but fuck was it funny seeing the face of the fella driving the modded out Jeep going past me 😂😂
How do you think this would be with a JT Rubicon on 35s and no lift?
So what state is this from-? very little info--
Great video! Are you interested in Jeep accessories sponsorship collab?
Thanks for asking, but no. This is just a for fun channel.
What size tires does the Gladiator have
37s. I've seen a lot of people lately trying to say you don't need more than 35s. Not if you want to do trails like this. 40s would have allowed me to make it over the place I got stuck. It was so close. 37s are a sweet spot though where you don't need to worry as much about your axles.
Some videos sure make that look harder...
It's really not that difficult of a trail. You just need to be extra careful because a mistake would be costly! There is one switchback that is tighter than this one. And yes, some are filmed to make it look much more dramatic than it is in real life.
Awesome vid! That is a legit trail for sure! What rack and bed cover combo is that?
One of the most effortless I've seen. Rock on.
Definitely hit it just right. It helped to have a good spotter line me up.
One day I'll give it a try
It was a lot of fun! Give it a try if you get a chance.
Enjoyed your video. I've seen a lot from Black Bear. Your video was a bit different.
Thanks. Purely amateur filming but I had fun with it.
Awesome looking trail.
Glad to see you are still out and about in the gladiator! Where is this if you care to say.
Yep! We did two trips last year for a total of 3 1/2 months traveling. I didn't get much footage from the second trip where we went from Florida to the Lost Coast of Northern Cal, Colorado, Utah, etc. Will try to get more vids on our upcoming Utah trip. The vid is from last year. It's in Butte Valley in Death Valley National Park. There are three cabins in that area where you can camp if you choose. Pretty cool place.

Great video. What is the lift on your Gladiator? I have a 3.5 inch EVO on 37s. Wondering how it will do on Holy Cross?
3.5 inch Metalcloak with Nitto 37s. The long wheelbase helped in some areas. It hurt when I tried the harder line shown in the vid as well as just after French Creek on the way up. Overall it did great though!
Great thanks!
Amazing truck. The plate says SKRUM, are you a SCRUM master?
No, it stands for Siesta Key Rum.
@@BigGreenJeep ah, thank you for clarifying. Cheers!
I find it interesting that the original WW2 era Jeep had a wheelbase of 80 inches and designed to go over virtually anything. The Gladiator is stretched out to 137 inch wheelbase. To me ridiculous, (but you get a little sand box on the back).You are bound to beat the bottom off of it! Just saying.
That gladiator is getting destroyed.
What wheels do you have on your gladiator?
Wheel Vintiques Smoothies. 4.25" backspace and reversed.
What a great color on your Gladiator. What is it called?
Thanks! It's called Gator. It was only available on 2020 Gladiators.
Some areas are painful to watch. I prefer more finesse over the "full send " approach. Great video though. Thanks for taking the time to post.
This was so cool to watch! I am thinking of getting a gladiator rubricon. By this video alone looks like having a lift with bigger all terrain tires along with a winch in the front is the way to go. I really wish jeep would make the seats with lumbar support and seats with more adjustments moving seat forward and back further. Also, I really wish jeep would make their jeeps have better gas mileage specially for those people using their jeeps a lot and off roading deep into places. Great Video! lets see more. I want a jeep gladiator for off road and for hunting
What do you think was more difficult Escalator or Hell's Gate?
Definitely Escalator. It would have been easier with a good spotter. If you hit the right line (and don't forget your lockers like I did) Escalator might not be too bad. If you get off line though it can easily flop or flip you. I didn't think Hell's Gate was bad at all. We got a little tipped but it was easy to correct. Both were a lot of fun!
This is a rich guy's hobby. 60k toys getting beat up on rocks..
A Sahara, so no lockers? You've made this look very simple.
The correct line on a dry day isn't bad. If it's wet or you get off the line a bit then you have a totally different situation. I was fortunate to have a good spotter the first time I went up so I knew where to go.
Metalcloak Game Changer suspension 💪👊
Love this lift!
Scary
Especially the first time. You get used to shelf roads if you spend much time in Colorado in a Jeep! :)
That could very well be the most beautiful view my eyes have ever witnessed. Its like what you imagine heaven to look like.
It absolutely is!
Many who have done this trail will tell you there is a technical, tricky place (you know the one), but, this is NOT the hardest trail in Colorado....
Plenty of harder trails in Colorado. The views here though...
سياره جيب دفع رباعي ضاقت الطرق وانت بالوسيعه الا تنشب نفسك وتعطل الجيب عن اداءمهامه
i've got a super similar setup (RLD TOPPER with the Ikamper mini on top) on 37"s and 2.5" lift. we chicken'd out in moab on the Seven Mile Rim trail section that was way off camber as you were turning. I knew the JT could do it, but i didn't want to be the driver. Crazy though seeing 30 degrees here and looks like no problem..good to know!
It was scary as you can imagine! The seven mile rim off camber spot took us to at least 25, maybe a bit more. I hate those sections but the Jeep does a great job!
@@BigGreenJeep was wondering that 7 mile rim tippy spot was. 25 is pretty tame. It was the tight turn with the off camber that had me turn around. Didn’t like turning hard into the sideways of it
Lost? You're right there! :)
LOL
I had to look this one up. Lots of the left coast look like that lol. Nice drone footage!
Thanks! I need to practice with the drone more. Fun toy.
I want to see the paint damage 😂I came here to judge how badly I want to mess up my mall crawler 😅
Jeeps made after mid 2000s (I think every four-door Jeep Wrangler this is true of) has BLD , or better. BLD (brake locking differentials) isn't 'really' open. It's somewhere between an LSD and a locker. It's beyond old school open for sure and in some cases probably better than LSD. If a mid 2000s or better has an LSD on the rear , it's my understanding that it's using both LSD and BLD technology which is beyond BLD and LSD but less than locker. BLD equipped jeeps will embarrass anything that doesn't have a similar technology. A similar technology would be ATRAC. Nevertheless, it's still tough to do without TRUE lockers. I get it.
Definitely pucker moment! Nice job! 👍🏻
Thanks! It was a very fun trail. Hopefully it doesn't get closed by the BLM this round.
Nice! Always enjoy your stuff. Makes me want to get out in my gladiator this weekend.
Every weekend is better out in the Gladiator.
@@BigGreenJeep yes sir!
Watched your 2x video at 1.5x. Zoom zoom!
Big Green Jeep always making the Gladiator look good!
Thanks! This rig makes it easy.
@@BigGreenJeep what lift/shocks springs/ tires are you running? I'm looking at clayton with the falcons or maybe metal cloak with king or fox. Not sure if I should go bigger than 35 tires because it's my daily commuter but I still want to be able to take it out in the wild.
@@antiantifans1914 I have a Metalcloak Gamechanger 3.5" lift. I replaced the rear springs with Clayton HD 3.5" springs because of all the weight I carry. I also added a Hellwig swaybar. Shocks are Falcon SP2 3.3 Fast Adjust Piggyback Shocks. I can crank them up for highway driving and soften them for rougher roads. Tires are Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.5x17. I really like these tires. I have close to 40k miles on mine now and find them still good for daily driving. It really does great around town, on the highway, and on trails.
@@BigGreenJeep Thank you. I appreciate it.
This looks painful.
Nice! Thanks for sharing this. Our JL Wrangler did really well ... until the French Creek Crossing. That one was a struggle. I enjoyed all the camera angles in this video, especially following the Jeeps up Obstacle #2 (that crevice). Wow! It really shows the steepness and camber. Well done ... the whole video.
Thanks! We had a great time on this trail. Let's hope they don't close it down!
What a great spotter! Wow! It’s hard to find a REALLY good spotter sometimes. Thanks for the video! Love love love it!
Sorry… drivers are good too. I’m always in the driver seat, so was appreciative of the spotter, but you ALL did great! Fantastic trail 😊😊
I know! That guy was the best spotter I have run into. He was a nice guy all around. And it was pure luck as we headed to the trail on our own. Just happened to boondock at the same spot.
Nothing beats having a good spotter 🤝
Absolutely! We just got lucky and found this group starting the trail the same time we did. I would have had a hard time finding the lines on our own.
What sliders are those? I could see making with switch to them over the non functional Nfabs. The Nfabs are great steps but definitely not sliders.
Metalcloak flip steps. They have held up really well. You can change the angle of the step part with a few bolts but I've always just left mine in the down position.
Love the channel name! This is Mr. Black on CF btw. Great work navigating that trail. I don't know if my old busted up body could handle those metal on rock impacts like that! While I don't consider myself to have a real fear of heights as I get older I don't like those cliff edge trails lol.
Hey Mr. Black! My bones are too old for that now also. LOL I need time to recover after the hard trails and time sleeping in a tent before the next trip!
Dude. Thanks for responding on Facebook. That is scary for sure !!
I was pretty happy when it went level again! Nice to know it won't tip too easily in the future though.
I'm sure that thing has a lot better right than my two door Wrangler but I'm good with my Wrangler for going places easily
A two door Wrangler is a better choice for Black Bear!
Excellent adventure, great trail👍
It was a great time! Challenging but do-able for my Gladiator. And the "city" is a perfect place to have lunch and hang out for a while.
Wish I had the courage to go over scenery alone would be worth it.
No worries! There are so many road and trails in that part of Colorado that have beautiful views but aren't quite as scary to access. One of our favorites that is easier to access is Yankee Boy Basin.
Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! It's amateur video but gives a good idea what the trail is like.
