Jeep Gladiator Truck Overland EVO First Time Off-Road NORA New York Nitto JL JT Experience Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- After spending the better part of 4 days on the road and covering almost 3,000 miles along the way, Cindy and I finally made it out to Newburgh, New York, the starting point of Lobster Quest - the Nitto JL/JT Experience presented by KMC Wheels! As always, the first day was a fun one being that we got hook up with old friends and make some new ones as well and being that this was the year of the all new Jeep JT Gladiator, it was great to see PSC, Skyjacker, Drixtin and even Randy showing up with theirs. Better still, most of these trucks were running EVO suspension systems, one had a Hellcat HEMI under the hood and all were running Dana Ultimate UD60 axles pushing 40" tires. Of course, being that we were in Newburgh and staying at a hotel right next to the world famous Orange County Choppers, that's where we got to finish up our day and complete with tour of their facility and dinner as well.
The first official day of Lobster Quest took us out to Ellenville, New York and to an off-road park known as, Northeast Off-Road Adventures or NORA for short. I should note that this is a private park that does require a fee to use but it is one that offers 4WD training, driving tours and event programs on it's 75 acres of trails. Given the limited amount of off-road options available in the New York area, it really is awesome that the good people at NORA have created this place for people to use. For our purposes, we were truly grateful that they would allow us to take on their trails, soak in the beauty and shake down our Jeep JT Gladiators (most for the very first time) and JL Wranglers on the fun obstacles they had.
We hope you enjoy watching all the fun we had and hope you'll check back soon for more.

Much props to NORA! They're pretty much responsible for teaching me and countless others in the tri-state the basics for wheeling 101. I'd probably still be mallcrawling if not for them.
Awesome! They are good people for sure.
Having just watched a video on the RC version of the truck (Axcial SCX10.lll) I saw the thumbnail thinking it was cool looking RC version but no, it’s the real deal. Daaamn! Real nice and real big money, think I’ll stick the RC and dream on.
Cool event, as someone who used to do events and exhibitions, I appreciate what goes on behind the scenes to make it all happen.
LOL - didn't even know there was an RC version! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hey Eddie! Just wanted you and Cindy to know that this series is so very therapeutic. I watch this Lobsta Quest series at least 5 times a year. Always fun, lots of laughs, great scenery and great people. Your channel is amazing and my wife and I really appreciate what you and Cindy do! 🤘🏻🤘🏻. Hands down, you have the BEST Jeep related RUclips channel out there!
Truly humbled that you would say as much and so happy that you enjoy our videos.
Very Cool...I lived up in that area in NY...5 minutes from Orange County Choppers...for 20 years.. moved out of NY in 2014...
Very cool!
So fun to watch y’all being spoiled on this adventure! Didn’t realize how big the OCC building was! ❤️🐞
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, the OCC building was pretty damn big, bigger than I was expecting.
Badass jeeps: check. Epic road trip:check gorgeous trails:check. And to think... all of this wrapped up into parts 1 & 2. I’ll just eagerly sit and wait for part 3 like an kid on Christmas Eve.
LOL - thanks Casey, so glad you enjoyed it and more is coming your way soon :)
Ferraris of off road trucks, these things are fucking badass man
Great Video!!....Can't believe you were only 20mins from my house its nuts!.....And I'm friends with John
No kidding, how cool is that!
Its always fun to watch all these rigs that are use to crawling through nice sticky surfaces, come to the raining mossy trails, and what would look like a small obstacle can give you a hard time.
Yup, it was a lot of fun being able to play out on this slick terrain and really, this was the easy day. It only got harder or should I say, more fun from here.
That's New England wheeling for you. Much different then out west. Slick rock out west, in NE it is actually "slick" rock. Everything is always wet. Lots of leaves and pine needles covering everything making it slippery. Crawling doesn't often work. Much different approach needed. Fun all the same, just different. Glad you guys got to experience it!
Oh yeah, it's totally different out there. So glad we got a chance to experience it for ourselves.
Holy poop I’m from Kingsport, TN too LOL just got my JT and freaking loving it and love watching all these videos. I just went to my very first Jeep event in Maggie valley was super fun 🤩
That's awesome! Congratulations on your new JT! 👍
I am from Johnson City 20 min from Kingsport just got a JT and a JL
That was a serious goodie bag!
Great to see you guys hitting some northeast slippery rocks - very little crawling lots of bumping! The forest trails are tight enough in a 4 door, pretty stressful in a JT! You did awesome! Can’t wait for the next video!
And this was the easy stuff. Got real as the week went on. Tough terrain to wheel for sure.
Wow, what a great video! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Lonnie McCurry great to see Skyjacker in these videos great family and great business 👍🏻
Looks like a great trip. Fun times.
Thanks! It really was a blast :)
Can I have the Matchbox!!! lol looks like a great time
Very nice ride. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The more I watch these videos… The more I love my 2000 jeep TJ… Lol I’m also not afraid of scratching it!
LOL - neither are we ruclips.net/video/fuGi_tbd1zE/видео.html
awesome adventure sweet looking jeeps
Thanks 👍
I've seen so many scenarios where the Gladiator conquers an obstacle where the Wrangler has serious troubles. This video is just more proof of it.
Nice to see Randy again! Really enjoy seeing some peeps from a long time ago.
Oh yeah, Randy is a staple of these events :)
Love randy
Very cool to get to enjoy such an awesome experience with old friends and new. CONGRATS
Thank you :)
The Catskills are beautiful in the fall. I lived their for 5 years. Miss it at times. Have fun.
It really is beautiful out there.
Totally awesome! Cant wait for the next part !
Thank you. We're so glad you enjoyed it :)
That first obstacle made those 40's look like chump change lol! I believe everyone high centered lol. Good stuff
AWESOME AMERICAN JEEPS
That gladiator you guys have is a total beast. Absolutely beautiful rig and it looks like a total blast to wheel!
Thanks! Took a little getting used to but now, I LOVE the thing. So much fun to wheel :)
Glad to finally see you guys wheeling on the east coast. I see you guys “crawling” all the time and I’m like “can’t do that shit out here”.
LOL - wheeling on your slick and slimy rocks is a challenge for sure. Wait till you see the next video :)
Agghhh....Brand new rig and endless trees. Reminds me of how burned out you are after going thru trees on the Dusy! Your rig looks awesome!!!
LOL - yup, something like that only not as long as the Dusy :)
I miss that east coast granite. I used to think rocks were slippery till I moved out west.
New York and Pennsylvania is nice this time of year. I deliver up that way a good bit. Hope all y'all have a good time looking forward to the next video.
Oh yeah, loved it out there!
@@wayalife glad to hear that I don't live far from Skyjacker and Superlift in Louisiana so glad to see a Skyjacker JT up there.
Once again, you two post a great video. Looks as though the JT can handle its own on the trail. Chomping at the bit waiting to take possession of mine, start modifying and hit the trails. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and enjoy some lobstah.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it :)
Wild Turkey 🥃 Earned you my sub. Plus all the great Jeep content. 😉
Awesome! Thank you!
We were just there , off roading with Scott. it was part of the OctorberFest event they have there every year. Took my SuperCab Raptor joining 12 Jeeps for 6 fun hrs. Scott dint think i was going to make it through 2 spots, but then he didn't know who was talking to. One slight scrape of the passenger side step, powder coating still on. Lots of branches for pin-striping, but then my Vehicle is completely Wrapped In Xpel Ultimate. Im still washing it and trying to clean off all the mud on the under carriage...lol. Cool Video..Keep it up. We were on a different trail, more like Mud and logs and rocks, not like the one you're on with Boulders!
Awesome, glad you got to get out there and enjoy it :)
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking us along!!
Glad to hear it :)
Cheers 🥂 Eddie! Keep up the videos coming!
20:08 " ok well watch the f*ck out" I dont know why but I laughed so hard at that. Just the way he says it so nonchalantly
Yep, that'd be Dave :)
@@wayalife well Dave is hilarious
Well when ya gotta send it, there isn't much else to say. 😁
I was thinking that was a hold my beer moment!
I'd be excited just to get a goodie bag not mention getting to do the whole trip 😂😂
LOL - you should sign up for the next one :)
@@wayalife its gonna take awhile to get the tons and ls swap for the jku. But I will once its complete for sure!🤙
i saw a bunch of theses jeeps sitting on top of Hogback mountain in VT, when i was working. on route 9.
Hey, that would have been us :)
Can't wait to get mine 👍
Midnight Cravings can’t wait till we get them in Australia
Sure is beautiful out there. I think we are spoiled with our rocks out west (moab’s sandpaper and the sierra’s granite slabs). I doubt I’d be a fan of sliding around although, Ray would likely have some great fun in it. Thanks for sharing! Already jealous of the rig and location. 👍🏻 Top quality video.
Thanks Rachel! It's challenging stuff out there for sure. So glad you enjoyed the video :)
I want to know who drove the blue jeep with the old gladiator front end!! That was AWESOME
That would be Chris Durham. He came as part of the support crew.
Hell yeah! the Jeep that Jeep should have made. Gorgeous!
And who says a Gladiator can't wheel? Lol
Thanks for taking us along!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
A lot different terrain wet leaves rocks etc a lot of sweet rigs great job to all gladiator rocks
Thank you :)
Eddie i am with ya buddy on the Lobster ! Im 54 and my crown jewel Lobster was a 5 lbs fella from up north, best meal of my life i ate every bit 🤘 , your JT and that Skyjacker hellcat are still my favorites , although they were all beautiful rigs ,, one day Eddie one day lol...
Great video. As always. Love the gladiators. Can’t wait to see the rest
Awesome! More coming your way soon :)
East coast wheeling! Everything is slippery. Trails in PA and NJ are like this
So I've been told. Heard it was like that even without the rain.
Once you get the first few scuffs in there then it's easy you don't care no more it's just that brand new untouched Feelin you got to get over. It's only paint. Keep on Wheeling...
Great video! Seems like the gladiator is doing extremely well with all the modifications you have done👍
I must say that I've been quite happy with it :)
Make sure you steer clear of Kentucky the troopers will give you a ticket for stickers on your windshield!! And I love how Eddie always makes things look easy lol.
LOL - really???
@@wayalife yes, there is a law in Kentucky if you have any kind of sticker across your windshield you can get a ticket happened to #SavageGarage on RUclips I will give you the link ruclips.net/video/IO2Q40maWjw/видео.html have fun be safe keep rolling out those videos 👍
Jeepers Creepers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25:40 Epic indeed, Eddie I'm digging your Gladiator man, awesome!
Thank you :)
Air down take a leak do whatever you gotta do another amazing video love all the Jeeps 👊🇺🇸
LOL - glad you enjoyed it :)
Hahahahahahah, I looked all over for a white JKU and couldn’t find one when I bought my 2016 Hydro Blue JKU. But, I have a white Challenger and Ram.
That’s how I call having a good times . Hip Hip Hooray I want my Jeep gladiator too . Lol
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed seeing us having some fun with our Gladiator :)
Love your videos can't get enough
Thank you, we really are happy to hear it :)
Hey Eddie, can you start making 1 hour videos? These are too short and can't wait for more videos!! Please and thanks!
HAHAHA!! And here I thought we went a bit long on this one. So happy to hear you enjoy our videos :)
@@wayalife it long enough ;) Anyways, I always enjoy watching your videos, it's relaxing and like seeing a big community get together and enjoy beautiful and wonderful sight seeing! Can't wait for next part!
I love the 30ish minute ones but I'm with you, I can watch these for hours on end. So well done and entertaining!
Wayalife I think 45 minutes would be a great sweet spot, however you have the analytics and know best as always great video
@@wayalife muchas felicidades Saludos
Awesome video keep em coming.Thank u guys
So glad you enjoyed it and more is coming your way :)
Nice video, that is Some other stuff than Moab..... have fun. Greetings from The Netherlands. ❤️🇺🇸✌️🥇👍💪
LOL - kind of like the exact opposite of Moab :)
Another great video 👍
AND, the icing on the cake for me is I was born in Newburgh and I’m pretty sure that marina at the end was where my grandmother kept her sailboat docked.👍👍
No kidding, that's awesome.
Great video Eddie & Cindy thanks for sharing! Check the time line at 19:43, looks like Mel owes the Synergy guy a new tail light..... LOL
LOL - they just clip in on that side. Nothing was broken.
Nice work again Eddie and Cindy!!
Thank you :)
Well it looks like you need to go back to the drawing board with more ground clearance! Thanks for sharing ill make some adjustments on my Gladiator.
more ground clearance is a double edge sword.
welcome to New England wheeling ! WT101 is where its at !
Thanks! Had a hell of a good time out there.
Those trails, colors, climate and even the rock texture are exacly the same as here in south of Norway. The second trail is very similar to my local trail (mopeds) club grounds. It's also the same location I drive my scale rc cars.
Thanx for posting another awesome video :-)
No kidding, that's cool. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
If I would have rolled up in there in my stock Overland they would have laughed me out of the parking lot. LMAO
Awesome location an amazing video. Happy to see how glad is Eddie with his JT Gladiator. Thanks Cindy and Eddie for another great video.
Oh yeah, going out to the wide open desert to do some overlanding would have been too easy. Going back east where the Gladiator is like a bull in a china shop was the perfect place to test it out and I LOVE IT!
I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Garrett Fernando Instablaster =)
@Makai Noe Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Makai Noe it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
Super Super video
Awesome!! Ive been wheeling there, live not far from there and just bought a Gladiator Rubicon!
Awesome :)
im not one to want to rock climb and wheel like this and no chance that beautiful truck id do that!! I know you all do it regular and enjoy it. Enjoy trip
Glad you could enjoy seeing this :)
hope to meet up with you all sometime .
What a cool video, we are from New York but from Long Island. Welcome to Mew York.
Thank you. Had a great time out there.
Awesome video! The first time I ever wheeled was at NORA 👍🏻
I have lived in New England my entire life and I do not think many of us enjoy our steaks as hockey pucks lmao.... Medium cooked for me. In our neck of the woods, 2 door Jeeps shine the best with their tight turning radius and awesome breakover angle.
LOL - Oh yeah, taking a bigass Jeep Gladiator through your neck of the woods felt like driving a bull in a china shop. That being said... we did do it :)
@@wayalife Haha! Props to that. I am glad you made the trip out and shared it with us. Looking forward to watching Part 3.
Brilliant idea with the shirts!
PSC really did a great job with them :)
This thing is bad ass
Glad you like what you see :)
awesome video Eddie and Cindy! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the vids. Thanks for taking the time to film all of this and then edit it.
Thanks Brian, we're so glad you enjoyed it. We just wish we weren't always so much in a hurry to keep moving so that we could film more Jeeps. Be nice if these events were spaced out a little further apart too so that we have more time to finish these videos LOL.
@@wayalife im just glad you guys are documenting it. People keep asking me all where we went and im like, we did so much, it was a blur, and we were constantly on the go. All the days and places kinda blended together.
LOL - yeah, that about describes the trip, a blur! We really were constantly on the go and enough so that it became hard to remember where we were or even what states we drove through. Really had a great time wheeling with you.
LOL - yeah, that about describes the trip, a blur! We really were constantly on the go and enough so that it became hard to remember where we were or even what states we drove through. Really had a great time wheeling with you.
This all looks like it’s so much fun! I can’t wait for a day where I can join Jeep friends out on the trails, but currently I only own a Renegade Trailhawk so I know that “I’m not a real Jeep” but someday I’ll get a Wrangler or Gladiator! Can’t wait!!!
LOL - nothing wrong with Renegades. We used to have one and we even have videos of us wheeling it here on our channel.
Watching carefully, you can see just like the 4 door has advantages over the 2 door, the JT has the advantage over the 4 doors in anything involving climbing.
Oh yeah, where the JT has a disadvantage in the trees and with break over angles, its long wheel base does give it an advantage on climbs.
Another great video / love the guy in the synergy Jeep“ just lay into it? Alright watch out”
To long of a story for me to tell all of the how's. But I traded a 2dr wrangler for a jt and have super bad buyers remorse. I hope I find some positive attributes soon. Glad you had fun and thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I suppose we're fortunate in that we still have both. I don't know if I'd want to give one up for the other. That said, it is a Jeep and there are lots of ways to make it more to however it is you want it to be.
that is so cool JT in the east side.
It was tough to wheel your trails in a JT but I must say, it was a ton of fun.
Great Video! Thank You!
We're so happy you enjoyed it :)
Sheesh...already EPIC in the parking lot! hehe
LOL - we try extra hard :)
I would love a goodie bag!
Крутые мужики выбирают JEEP👍👍👍
I am jealous. lol I envy how you guys can Jeep for your living.
Absolutely awesome video as always guys, great trip
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it :)
Ah the Jeep that drags it's balls over all the obstacles. The 2019 Jeep Gladiator.
Josh Lewis pretty sure there were a few JL’s doing the turtle thing too.
Awesome adventure. Been to Orange County Coppers twice, very cool bikes. It's different wheeling in the Northeast and that Gladiator's length does seem to make it tight in some of the spots. Safe Travels and God Bless!
It's tight but it made it through :)
Thank you for the video
So glad you enjoyed it :)
With all the JL JK owner nay sayers of the Gladiator, I'm glad to see the Wranglers having trouble as well and a little more it seems than the Galdiators going over the rocks.
The Gladiator is the real deal. A very good truck :)
@@wayalife Since I have the sport S max tow, what can I do aftermarket to make up for not having lockers. And are you referring to locking differential or wheel (hub) locks?
@@johnthibodeaux5189 I am referring to a differential locker. Depending on the kind of wheeling you're wanting to do, you may not need lockers. If you're playing on hard obstacles and do feel the need for them, you could always have them installed. However, I would wait until you install much bigger tires to do that being that you can do a re-gear and locker install at the same time and save on labor cost.
@@wayalife I don't think I'm going to go bigger than 35s that i have on there now. Thanks for the info. hope im not bugging you but do you not think that the BLD system is sufficient?
@@johnthibodeaux5189 What I would say is that you should get out and use your Jeep the way you want and that will help you to learn what you really need and don't need.
Absolutely love this!!
Awesome! So glad to hear it :)
My black JL is hard as heck to keep clean but looks badass when it is. Wish Cindy was a little taller for videoing purposes. 😍
T-Shirt design is genius
Rear steer would be great for the truck in the tight trails.
That or an Atlas would have been nice so that we could do front side burns.
This is just too much fun. Wish i could do this rather than small time 4 wheelin.👍
Jeep needs to release the 2door JT!!!
Nicely done 👍🏻
Thank you :)
Hi Eddie, could you make a video for newer wheelers, and explain how they can get involved with rides like this; like what rides are available annually, who to contact, what items you bring along, minimum build required to make it thru, etc. I have a feeling I'm not the only newbie. Thanks
Sure, I think we can manage to do that sometime. :)
@@wayalife - Thanks, I'll look forward to it.. Thanks for the response.
