The truck looks great love the white! Just got done wheeling smiley rock a few days ago cant believe it made it through stock! More wheeling videos of your guys builds would be great!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you for this I cant buy one yet so I'm just watching people off road their gladiators for now, until I collect enough pennies and trade in my jeep.
Great video. Can't wait to see your build take place on this Gladiator! Get some 37s KM3 tires, some method beadlocks, Poison Spyder bumper with a Zeon Winch, it'll look sweet. I'll even come up and install the beadlocks for you, it'll gives me an excuse to drive back up to visit you all. 😎
Nice video. I haven't lifted my JT yet, but just upgraded to 37s (Ridge Graps) on JKU wheels. Can't wait to get offroad and start figuring out what other changes I need for articulation. I've got a video showing the upgrade and giving my thoughts so far. Keep yours coming!
I wheeled Smiley Rock years ago with my '10 JKU Sport. I had Sahara rims and tires that I had bought as take offs. The trail can be done with some great spotting on some parts. I sure could have used more lights at the time since we ended up at the end of the trail at night. FYI, I did have the factory limited slip diff in the rear and you would be surprised at the trails I have conquered with that. Happy Jeeping!!
Love these videos! If you guys can make a vid on a guide to lights for your Jeep that would he awesome. Like general guide showing some demo jeeps on X lights for overlanding or Y lights for this purpose etc
Might want to take a look at the new Geolandar X-AT when it comes out, should be perfect for these kind of trails. I think Wilco Offroad has a bed-mounted spare carrier for the Gladiator already, might be cool to move the spare there and mount an air compressor under the bed.
I would be conservative if it was my jeep. 35" KM3's and a warn winch more heavy duty rocker guards and additional under body armour, A truck cap and call it done.
Air down next time buddy, you’ll get better traction... if you don’t have any way of airing up, let me know. I’ll talk to Steve over at Powertank for ya 🙌🏽 Good video 👍🏽
To your question on tires: Not a fan of Nitto or the Asian brand tires overall. BF Goodrich (French), Good Year, Cooper, General, ProComp, or Interco are all better choices for off highway. My top choices are BFG KM3 or if you need an all-around performer that does well in snow, then Good Year Duratrac.
Milestar 38’s if you are going to lift it, they are affordable for the typical wheeler and have great street manners for a daily. Love the truck but they need big tires and 4” of lift to look right in my mind.
Hell no that is stock with those wheels. I was looking at sport models online that is suppose to start $34k but dealers are adding crap that it's all at $45k.
KC HiLiTES I’m on the fence trading in my f150 platinum for a rubicon gladiator. Are they worth it?? The price is kinda high for a midsize. But love off-roading.
Nothing. I like see what a stock jt can do. Anything can be a great off roader if you throw enough mobile at it.. but how well did FCA do with the oem design.
@@kchilites Thanks for super fast reply! #100 on the hilites site looks a little different though - looks like Slimlite 6 inch. Can you give me the URL to the product page for what's on the Jeep in your video?
My Panamera could tackle this trail easy, what’s the big deal ? Hahaha...just kidding. I have a Rubi-Glad as well so I was interested in seeing how this performed without after market lifting.
This guy struck me as a clown right off the bat when he called the end caps “the wings” then he started taking out a bolt that doesn’t even hold them on. Looked like a fun trail though.

Great video, my wife wants the gladiator so this really helps. I can't wait to see the build. Keep making those videos.
I’m impressed you guys tackled Smiley Rock with a stock JT. The more I see of this Jeep on the trails, the more impressed I am about its abilities.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you for this I cant buy one yet so I'm just watching people off road their gladiators for now, until I collect enough pennies and trade in my jeep.
Great job guys! Looking forward to checking this area out later this fall, maybe we can swing by and visit!
This channel is going to be so awesome. Already loving the content
Thanks for showing what the stock Gladiator can do. We haven’t gotten ours yet because I’m waiting for the Gator color but it’s coming.
The procomp xtreme mud tires have never let me down

@@kchilites :)
don't forget the lower ring gear for those 37's

That Gladiator is a great truck to off-road

Awesome video bro...i cringed when u went over that boulder lol. Congrats on the truck..im jealous.
You can’t find a better stock mid size truck on the market to keep up with the gladiator, closest would be Chevy Colorado.
Like the placement of those KC lights.
Might want to take a look at the new Geolandar X-AT when it comes out, should be perfect for these kind of trails. I think Wilco Offroad has a bed-mounted spare carrier for the Gladiator already, might be cool to move the spare there and mount an air compressor under the bed.
Great first look at your new rig
Gladiator looks epic in the elements!! Sweet video 🙌
TX Mojito doesn't it though.. damn..
I love your videos , I own the new gravity Led spots for my 4x4 , can’t wait to get my next pair
Milestar Patagonia, 37” , in my humble opinion best MT tires out there right now.. the new Nitto’s are pretty good also..
I would be conservative if it was my jeep. 35" KM3's and a warn winch more heavy duty rocker guards and additional under body armour, A truck cap and call it done.

Good video 👍🏽
Awesome!
I missed it but did you Air down at all?
WoW, awesome job ...y'all did very well 👍👍👍👉🤙🤙
Great video, not everyone likes them but I have been enjoying my Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire’s they work well for me.
Did you do any tire deflation ?
Great video!! I live in phx area!! Az has sone great 4x4 trails!!
Would be cool to see a roll bar on the bed with LED KC lights
Awesome jeep!
Air down first? No? Obviously not. Some of your wheel spin was certainly unnecessary. Still a great job and cool vid!
I am a newbie, just got a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon, from 37psi to what would you air down to for a trail similar to this one? 28psi?
@@jcmjcm2412 I would go down to 20 to start. You can go lower if you need more traction
Hercules tires are awesome they already come with warranty 🙋
Why didn't you air down?
To your question on tires: Not a fan of Nitto or the Asian brand tires overall. BF Goodrich (French), Good Year, Cooper, General, ProComp, or Interco are all better choices for off highway.

Cooper STT Pros. 37's with a RK 3.5 and you'll be happy. Do it right, once.
Milestar Patagonia MT for your tires and Metalcloak gamechanger suspension lift
The sport model is stock, not a rubicon.
Hope Jeep dumps the lousy Fox shocks on the Mojave. Mine creaking badly up front. On back order from China since December.
Gotta love Arizona! 🤘🏽
I'd like to see Evo off-road lift with race compound sticky km2s
Milestar 38’s if you are going to lift it, they are affordable for the typical wheeler and have great street manners for a daily. Love the truck but they need big tires and 4” of lift to look right in my mind.

Milestar Patagonias or nitto mud grapplers.
Very nice
Would have been a good idea to air down. 😎
I see I need lights and much better tires
Let some air out bro!!
KC HiLiTES I’m on the fence trading in my f150 platinum for a rubicon gladiator. Are they worth it?? The price is kinda high for a midsize. But love off-roading.

Can you link to that song you used for the video? Love it!
I'll find a way to get a gladiator rubicon
2-3” Lift and BFG 37 KM3s should do it.
Great video. Keep that Rubi stock man.Way capable man. I vote Nitto Trail Grapplers 35X11.50/17
lol I had no idea KC Highlights was still in business. Figured maybe if this was 1994....and the lights were going on a YJ with a Xenon Body Kit
Head out to lake Havasu for some good off roading to lake Alamo and surrounding.... Hit me up!
I drive a RAM hemi 1500-
KM3’s!
Milestar Patagonia 38's!!
Model # for the KCs please?
@@kchilites Thanks for super fast reply! #100 on the hilites site looks a little different though - looks like Slimlite 6 inch. Can you give me the URL to the product page for what's on the Jeep in your video?
The led lights good
Nice trail , I was there on my Prius .
Where are old school kcs?
Good video..( if can, also send one with no music- stock)
My Panamera could tackle this trail easy, what’s the big deal ? Hahaha...just kidding. I have a Rubi-Glad as well so I was interested in seeing how this performed without after market lifting.
Sorry not here for the Jeep but the adventure you are taking it on.
This guy struck me as a clown right off the bat when he called the end caps “the wings” then he started taking out a bolt that doesn’t even hold them on. Looked like a fun trail though.
NITTO 40'S
Rubicon is NOT stock.
Sport or Sport S are stock!
Why is that?
Rubicon is a stock trim level from the factory.
I think the term, stock, means no aftermarket upgrades.
Difficult? Really?
ruclips.net/video/hA4BHMROk_g/видео.html
There are far more difficult lines that crisscross the main trail.
@@kchilites Didn't say you wrote the book! Just questioning the rating and what I saw
@@kchilites What matters is if you had a good time. No need to be so defensive.
this video makes me cringe
35” Super Swampers lol
