Yeah. Guy here in Calgary owns a JTR gas and had to lift 3" and add 37s to make it like a JLUR as far as wheelin capabilities go. Careful though 37's are hard on rear axle flanges.
I just got mine Shaun after waiting 10 weeks and four days. The power is fantastic. Effortlessly get to highway speed and doesn't struggle to keep you there.
@@Casey250 after seeing your last video, Casey where you mentioned if you did it all over again it would be the Gladiator in Diesel. You thinking of making the jump? I'm currently in a JTR w/ 3.6L and 37's. It's great, except now it's sluggish and range sucks... Thinking of moving to the 3.0 just not sure in the JL or JT. Thinking JT after your video.
@@afdude2220 We will see how the year goes and what Jeep has in store for 2022. For me, if your into overlanding and light to moderate off roading then I think the JT edges out the JL because you can keep RTT weight lower and carry more cargo. If you want to build something more extreme then the JL and probably skip the diesel. However, we are kind of splitting hairs as the ecodiesel JL is still an awesome overland platform that is very very capable, I just don't like the idea of being 7ft 6" tall with a roof top tent and that limits me with using the ferry on and off the island.
Everytime I get tempted to switch from the tacoma to a gladiator this is what I think about. The price is also a pretty steep increase over the tacoma.
Really like the build!! Just a little out of my price range right now and I still need to haul a 6000lb travel trailer. So for now I will stick with my stock 2020 power wagon. It goes places I have no business going. Again Really nice build!!
"for the power and options you get..." Forgets to mention $70k price tag with all the goodies. Hell buy two Tacoma's at that level. That said still enjoy the channel and vids!
Tacoma with all the goodies is $60,000 Canadian roughly. So that extra 10k is mostly the engine. Choosing the gas gladiator rubicon puts you right around where the Tacoma Pro is.
@@NORTHSHOREEDITS Tacoma Pro is $59,000 msrp on Toyota.ca, before tax. Off road premium is $49,000 before tax. But then there are much cheaper gladiator trims too compared to rubicon. I’m not sure what USA prices are if thats where you live. But your $70k rubicon price is basically right on for a loaded diesel one in Canada. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can get $7-8k off a gladiator pretty easily whereas on a Pro Tacoma there is no discounts. Regular off road taco you can get 2-3k off at most. So prices are pretty compatible in the end.
This video makes me want to bring my 3.6 Gladiator into Epic for an upgraded suspension. But I’m an American and thus not allowed in the country currently. Although my boat is in Sidney BC being serviced this week.
That dudes a beast. I’m a big strong guy and even I make sure my jeeps pretty low to lift my 37s on. He tossed those on like they were a donut out of a civic
nice built 👌 for us here in Switzerland it would make about 20k difference between the gladiator and the Tacoma. so when my raptor is fucked up anyday, I’ll go for a tacoma😂
It looks like it takes as much work to fit those wide 37s on the gladiator as it does 33s on a tacoma! Have seen quite a few issues on the ecodiesels so that is a bit of a bummer.
@@mattbrew11 That is the point. It takes the same or less effort and could probably be done with fewer/no mods at all. Tacomas can be a pita to fit larger tires without rubbing.
So translating this to a Frankenlift using Teraflex parts. I've noticed you guys use the sport arms with no drop brackets on those, but drop brackets on this one and no aftermarket arms. Does that mean that the aftermarket arms and drop brackets are both for geometry correction? I'm doing a lift in stages and would like to do drop brackets first then a full control arm swap later rather than swap a pair of arms now then swap them again later.
I got my first 2014 jk rubicon from rich back at Langley chrysler... loved every bit of it and been a little skeptical about the new gladiator.....but after watching this video and the new diesel.. mind's made up and I got to have 1. Rich I'm coming to see you :)

@@jasonh4167 I have a gladiator rubicon and thinking doing 37s... all the research I’ve done so far says regearing is something that isn’t necessary, but highly recommended.
You can get away without re-gearing on 37s because that 8-Speed Auto is so fantastic (if you use a calibrator of course). However, if you can afford it, a re-gear will make a good difference. Our Gladiator on 38s is running 4.56 and it's great... can't even tell we're spinning large tires ;-)
Yeah haha I’m not hating on Toyotas they are definitely awesome trucks but man I couldn’t think of any other reason why anyone would dislike this awesome video!
So which EVO suspension did you use for this build. I'm trying to figure it out for my own Ecodiesel Gladiator, but there's 4 or 5 stages on the 2.5 inch alone.
Hello from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! I have a question!! for that type of suspension and tires that is more weight, you have to change the gears ⚙️ of both differentials ?
Love my gladiator. It’s a gasser, I find it plenty quick with the 4.10s and smaller tires but I won’t get bigger than a 33 because I know it will be a dog. The eco diesel would be awesome.
Bearded ginger is an entertaining add to this video.
I just drove an eco diesel Gladiator today... absolutely awesome!
My wife gets the 392 JL, Daddy gets the Diesel JT.💪🏼🇺🇸
How was the mpg or l/km after the lift

Where do you fit the spare with 37s, curious what's the best alternative since it won't fit anymore under the bed?
Glad you let Christian speak , great entertainment along with the build
He's great on camera. Would be crime to silence him. 🤣
Great video, interesting build! How did it change the payload & towing numbers overall?
I like the wheel choice; what are they?
What song is playing during the flex ramp test??? It's a sick sound

Hi, when can we bring ours?
What type of rims. I have an all black 2022 Gladiator Overland/High Altitude and I want to keep my black rim gloss like these
One more Gladiator to the family♥️
Sean in your opinion for the off-roading you do would the 2.5 in lift be ok or you would still prefer the 4.5
For me, 4.5 is the minimum to have a reasonable breakeven angle.
como se llama ese tipo de suspencion ? y que precio tiene el cambio de todo ese proceso ?
What's a setup like this cost, the upgrades that is?
Was regearing to 4.56 necessary at all for this build? I’m looking to do a similar lift/tire upgrade
IMO, the diesels don't need a regear.
Great video, did you guys change the stock 3.73 gearing? not sure if I missed that in the video.
Shaun i cant thank you enough for this christmas gift! Love you bro....✌

10 now.
Yeah haha I’m not hating on Toyotas they are definitely awesome trucks but man I couldn’t think of any other reason why anyone would dislike this awesome video!
The eco diesel is known for being very unreliable. That’s reason alone for getting a Tacoma over one.
Does it need alignment after upgrading and changing all that part?
Yes. Absolutely. Any time you change the height of a vehicle
I need this in my life! On 40's though...
So which EVO suspension did you use for this build. I'm trying to figure it out for my own Ecodiesel Gladiator, but there's 4 or 5 stages on the 2.5 inch alone.
Didn’t you do a 2.5” with 1” spacer?
Could you ask Epic to give us a price all in for this mod? Asking for a friend. Love the videos.
You bet! Give us a call anytime at 604-888-2961
How high is the flex ramp?
Hey! love this setup man so rad. what’re the wheels that you got? I wanna get those on mine
Can you guys elaborate on the chopping and whether it will void the factory warranty? Just curious, thanks!
Only part that gets cut is a bolt to get it out without removing the entire exhaust system, then the new bolt is installed the opposite direction.
@@TheEPICBeardedGinger Thank you!
How do the kings hold up in BC weather?
That depends how you take care of your vehicle.
Why get a taco... three reasons Reliability, reliability and reliability
Was that the v6 eco diesel or the 4 pot?
How much would that build be? That’s exactly what I’m looking for.
Awe, now you've done it. Now I want to trade my Rubicon Gladiator for an Eco diesel.
Reliability and resale value
Damn nice rig. Great job. 🐸
Wish you guys had a location in USA
Can you send me a link for this lift kit?
The Ginger speaks!
I think the biggest thing keeping people in a Tacoma, is the 15-20k price difference.
Oh baby! That's sweet! 💕😮
What's the ballpark on all those mods? I got a zr2 and any mods on this thing cost a fortune and void the warranty lol
Is the engine stock
So I'm a total novice to all of this. Could anyone tell me if/how much this lift and bigger tire combo would affect towing? Thanks!
What is cost of lift and parts with labor
