Poison Spider Mesa - After Easter Jeep Safari 2022 (Jeep Gladiator Mojave) [ep 66]

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Easter Jeep Safari 2022 has concluded, but we're still here in Moab living the dream.
Today we completed Poison Spider. It wasn't on our radar initially, but after getting bitten by the Moab bug, we (o.k, maybe "I") was yearning for something a little more difficult.
So after talking to another full time family (that's what we're referred to since we travel full time) that happens to be Jeepers, we set out to complete Poison Spider Mesa.
This is a trail rated 6, and we definitely felt every single part of it.
We had an amazing time and really started to see the limitations of our current build. But that's what it's all about! Heading out with good people, having fun, and testing the limits of yourself mentally, and your Jeep physically. There was a lot of excitement on todays trail, and it's definitely one that we'll remember.
Huge thanks to Matt and Steve for taking us on a "big kid" trail!

Cheers!

We did PS in 2018 in a stock JLUR. We were running it alone so I avoided some of the harder lines when I could. Had no problems and it was it a very fun trail. The Wedge was so much fun we did it several times.... Hope to do it again soon lifted on 37’s...
Nice! Yeah PS has become one of my favorite trails just because of how many obstacles there are. Keeps you on your toes! Thanks for watching Mike.
Dude. The the apex disconnect. I love it on my Mojave
Yeah! We have them installed now. Def worth every penny.
I also noticed with my quad, a C Force 500 HO, that having the long wheelbase gives greater safety on slopes: the Gladiator, if raised and well protected, I think is preferable to the short steps of the three and five doors; HOWEVER, I watch your videos with the Glads as you face incredible obstacles, and to my Glad, I only show the paved roads of Tuscany😁🥰
Totally agree, there is some added benefit with the longer wheel base, but you sure do have to raise it up quite a bit to compensate. And nothing wrong with keeping it on the pavement! Sometimes we miss that LOL.
@@FarFromOrdinary 😁👍
Hey! another great video. Thank you for posting these. What dash phone mount are you guys using?
You got it! We're running Bulletpoint Mounts
@@FarFromOrdinary Thank you!
Really enjoyed your series
Thanks D!!
Once again Nick, leaving nobody to question the status of the Mojave as King of the Gladiators. The fairy princess Rubicons can just keep on dreamin'! Thank you for documenting all the fun someday I'll have!
Hah you're welcome Billy! Glad you're here with us.
Wow!!! That looks crazy fun and scary. LOL It's cool that there are people there spotting for you. I'm sure it takes a little bit of the terror away. What would you do if your Jeep bottomed out?!?
A commenter above had a good tip about jacking the back up and stacking some rocks. Makes sense!
Wait what you can remove the front sway bar manually foe better articulation? And manually lock the front too?
The mojave is a bad ass 😍
Yeah! We ended up getting some Autolynx Disconnects so now it's pretty easy. No locker on the front, but rear locker on the Mojave!
Such a great video! Love the voiceover, was cracking up coming back through the weird whoops. Really enjoyed wheeling with you, you did sooo good. Hope we can do more.
Thanks Steve! Yeah the ocean of rock...not very nice to the Gladiator 😂. Definitely can't wait until our next adventure!
Great Video. Really makes me lad I didn't get tricked into getting the Mojave. Not having the 4:1 T-Case, Front and Rear Lockers and Disconnecting sway bar would be annoying. I don't thing the reservoir shocks that come on the Mojave are worth the loss of lockers and swaybar. Just put some nice Falcon 3.3 Shocks on the Rubi and you are set.
Yep, well put.
@@FarFromOrdinary So, I'm never one to not admit that I got screwed this last week in that same exact spot. LOL. High centered, front and rear lockers engaged. 37" tires and a 1" lift. I guess a 2.5" lift is my next mod. I pulled my winch line, connected to the winch point down the hill and got out in a couple minutes.
@@FarFromOrdinary Side by sides are really tearing up the trails. When I first did that trail 12 years ago I had a range rover on 33" tires. No problems at all.
@@thedirtlifesupreame yeah it's amazing how much time can change these trails (or even just a quick storm). LOL yeah at 3.5" now, it's really, really comfortable,. I'm starting to think 37's and a 3.5" lift is the sweet spot for the Gladiator.
I've been watching all week to see if you made it through 7 straight days wheeling in Moab :o) At the end of days 4 and 5 you looked really tired! I'd recommend 3 days max without a break, but there's loads of things to do on a day off. Visit Canyonlands or Arches parks, go rafting on the river, have a day at the vendor show or spectating on a trail.
Respect to you for doing Poison Spider in the Gladiator, with 1 locker! Glad you made it through.
I hope to be back in Moab in 2023, driving a rental jeep again :o)
Thanks Jason!y Yeah by day 6 we were just toast! Definitely doing it a little different next year, leaving plenty of time open for wheeling with friends. Hope to see you next year!
I used to run my dogs on that trail in an open diff 2-wheel drive bug. A lot has changed since then. It is a challenging trail no matter what.
Nice! Yeah I can only imagine the amount of erosion since then. It was definitely the hardest trail we encountered.
I’ve got a rubicon and even with the automatic disconnect which only works in 4wd I find myself wanting the sway bar disconnected while on some things that don’t require 4wd. I know it’s redundant, but I put the JKS quick disconnects on my 2021 JLUR and couldn’t be happier. They are a great option and aren’t very expensive for the convenience they add. Great videos.
Oh that's really interesting to know. Thanks for sharing that. We know a few running those JKS quick disconnects and they swear by them.
@@FarFromOrdinary I’ve been really happy. Absolutely redundant for mine, but I like having options. Great content. Thanks for sharing.
@@FarFromOrdinary check out the Apex Autolynx.
@@ec-uploads just waiting for them to come off backorder! Stoked about those.
What LCA skids are those orange ones? Easy install?
Rusty's Offroad. Yeah fairly simple, re-torqued to 111ft lbs + 60 degrees. They've taken a beating and well worth every penny.
@@FarFromOrdinary thanks. I see you 'using' them a lot :). 2021 Mojave here....Still on 33s so I really need them. Any issues with holes lining up?
Great videos I like your style and pace of video production. Too many guys say nothing, say too much, don't show enough, you're doing it just right.
Great shots of the 4122 in action too. I'm in a pickle over that one and the Warfab Sheridan. I guess it doesn't matter if my chain holes are hit as I won't be towing anything. I use the receiver for a bike rack.
I did add the Rubicon steel rear bumper and the bed sliders that integrate with it. It did add weight of course but it gives the Mojave a bit of added protection out there.
@@ec-uploads Thanks! Really appreciate that. I've got a rather short attention span so the videos tend to reflect that.
I know someone that ordered these LCA skids and the holes didn't line up but it sounded like a fluke. We had no issues.
@@ec-uploads Hah that's interesting, I just assumed that hitch skid was chinese made. Is that the same one on Amazon? The thing that stopped me from that, is that it just seems clunky, and yeah lacks a recovery point. But it's also a lot cheaper.
Yeah good call on the rear bumper. Ours is getting pretty torn up, but still holding on.
Those the stock 33's?
Nope at the time it was 37's on a 1.5" spacer lift.
Those look little in this vid.. wow@@FarFromOrdinary
they still look little!! Even with a 3.5" lift now LOL@@chucklesthefireguy5356
Nice video . What size of tires and lift you have ?
Thanks! We're running 37's with a 1.5" spacer lift, letting us retain OEM Fox shocks for the time being.
hiya!- my dear,that is super ! see ya!.;)
❤❤
What size/type tires are you running?
37" Cooper STT Pro's. They've been great!
@@FarFromOrdinary that’s awesome! Are you just running the aev spacer lift? Or something more? Also, what kind of mileage are you getting with 37’s?
Did you ever find that the rv tow plate was a problem with reduced clearance?
None at all, the skid plate sits a lot lower. There have been a couple of times where we hit the front of the base plate on a super steep approach, but it's never really gotten in the way.
You should look up apex design USA for autolynx for sway bar disconnect or rock jock but rock jock more expensive and more involved install
Yeah those quick disconnects are at the top of our list! Waiting for the next batch to arrive. 😎
