  • The old military vehicles had high water fording exhaust on their vehicles, can that be implenebted on a Jeep Gladiator? In this video I share with you several of the latest upgrades and modifications I've done to the Trail Aid Station to include regearing, vinyl decals, the new Overland Vehicles Systems Expedition truck bed cap, a new Redarc battery management system and my totally custom Magnaflow deep water crossing exhaust.

    A great solution for being able to see out the back window is a camera-driven rear-view mirror. They’re reasonably priced on Amazon, and they work really well. I use one on my JL because the oversized rear tire on the bumper all but blocks the view. That way you can jam the truck bed full and it doesn’t impede your rear view at all.

    My recommendation for the battery box: put a second set of USB and socket ports INSIDE the box, and drive all the top-mounted charging stations off the internal ports, as you’ll always want those plugged in, and you can hide those wires, then. And then use the ports you already have for other devices you only plug in occasionally.

    Being a bit obsessive about dust control in camper shell I feel your pain. There are some 12-volt blower fans on Amazon used for offshore engine compartments to pressurize the engine compartment. The cap on out trucks being closed in its usually lower pressure than the outside pressure traveling down the road allowing dust to be invited in. Pressurize it and dust problem will mostly go away. Keep replacing the rubber seal on the tailgate as required.

Awesome integration onto the Gladiator as well as all of the upgrades you've added. I really like that SST topper as well. I wasn't sure how this build would differ from your previous Gladiator build (which I also enjoyed), but this is really coming into it's own with the First Aid theme and I think may be one of the best (and most unique) Gladiators out there when it's all said and done!

    Brad, I LOVE your channel! Your passion is second to none and that grabs me. And like you said, your Jeep, your exhaust... and YOU love it - after all, it's your circus, your monkeys, ha. I'm a recent retiree after 31 years with the DOD (13 USAF) and tho I'm not a Jeep guy, I learn SO MUCH from many of you. I've got an 11,000 lb overlanding 4-wheel drive dually Sprinter (170 XL no less 🙄) that I've been building from the ground up for a couple of years. And while the large size is great from the inside, it's can be a HUGE negative from the outside when off-roading. Recently, on a solo run in the Tennessee mountains, I got stuck in a river with my exhaust 6" underwater. Believe it or not, my diesel continued to run for almost an hour while I winched myself out. BUT, I'll count my lucky stars, not take them for granted, and look at an exhaust extension much like yours if necessary. Keep it up Brad, THANK YOU for your wonderful ideas, and of course, for your service!😉
