Jeep Gladiator Truck Overland by EVO Bethel Maine Off Road Carnage Nitto JL JT Experience Part 7

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- With the exception of the one road day we had that took us up to the top of Mount Washington, pretty much everyday of Lobster Quest, the Nitto JL/JT Experience presented by KMC Wheels, proved to be more of a challenge than the day before. Day 5 would be no exception to the rule. As we would come to find, the owners of the historic Sudbury Inn, our home in Bethel, Maine, were also owners of private property nearby and it contained some of the best wheeling in all of New England. It would be here that we really got to put our Jeep JT Gladiators, JL Wranglers and WARN winches to the test. It would also be where Cindy and I would do our very first body damage, most in our group would at least take out a tail light and Synergy... well, you'll just have to see for yourself.
We hope you've been enjoyed watching EVO, Synergy, Skyjacker, PSC, JKS, Tactical Off Road, Hi-Lift, all the participants and of course, yours truly taking on some of the fun trails the east coast has to offer.

Awesome footage !
When they first released the JL I remember everyone expressing concerns about how the tail light design was asking to be ripped off on the trail ... this video proved those concerns
Yeah, they're a problem for sure.
The tail lights have been asking to be ripped off long before the JLs came along.
I'm not going to lie, I loved watching expensive new Jeeps take a beating on these northeastern US trails. I love seeing videos of this type of terrain, but usually people tackle it in beat up old rigs, not 2018+ Jeeps.
LOL - it was a real challenge taking our 2.5 month old 2020 Gladiator through this trail, one made for CJs,YJs and TJs but it was a hell of a lot of fun.
Yeah I bet, that looked like 2 door country!
@@glenngore6609 LOL - this is the JL/JT Experience and so yes, MOST of the people on this trip are manufactures. The whole purpose of it is to test out and show how well their products do out on the trail. A few of the participants are invited guests and I can assure you that they've all paid for everything on their Jeeps. Sure, Cindy and I have received help from our friends but you're kidding yourself if you really think anything is "free". Can't speak for everyone but money is an object to us and it cost a small fortune for us to drive 3,000 miles across the country to wheel hard for a week and then drive home again with some body damage. Some people save up and go to Europe or on an African safari and some do this. You could too but it would require a lot of money.
@@wayalife It's funny you said this. My girlfriend and I were talkimg about this. I told her I am sure some of the products are free or reduced. But look what they have to do. look at the time spent outside setting up cameras, editting. Camera equipment isn't cheap. I am sure that you must do a report on some products as well. It all looks fun until you realize it's not not that fun for you, it's your job.
Wayalife brotha, I like the way you put it. Some people don’t understand what it all entails for sponsorship. Some think it’s all “free” and you just receive receive receive and walk away! NO WAY! Nothing in this world is “free”. You may get a set of dynatracs for “free”, but after that you have to attend all their events on your dime, take time off work to show up at their booth for show and tell at any and all car shows across the nation. When it’s all said and done, those $14k axles have been paid for by your time and expense to attend and go to and from these events. I know and understand very well. When we were young and did the ricers, same thing. We get a sponsorship and our whole car is souped up, but in the 2 year of contract, owner of vehicle have easily spent $40-$50k In travel expenses, gas, hotel, food, and lots of time invested.
No left turns going home! Tough day...hard east coast trails. Synergy dude has a great attitude, I would wheel with him any day! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Gotta not really care about the bumps and bruises... Once you do that you can REALLY have some FUN!!!
Kick ass driving Cindy! AND on the hardest day of the courses!! Nice job.
LOL - But of course.
String all those taillights together and you've got some real expensive Christmas lights! Cindy always pulls the hard days and handles them like a champ!
LOL - too funny but that would be awesome. And yes, Cindy only likes to drive when it's a real challenge.
You know you have a good relationship when your wife can hit a tree 🌲 and you both laugh 😂
LOL - there's a reason why Cindy and I have been married for 25 years :)
JLs having a hard time on this trail. Cindy and the gladiator serving it up making it look easy💯
LOL - Cindy is a tough cookie.
One's again u guys prove jeep is d best w/ u guys group helping its other ....be safe always👍👍👍👍🤙
Fully built jeeps are taking an ass whipping! Man, this was awesome to watch
LOL - happy to hear you enjoyed our video 😎
😲 That's one of the cruellest days I've watched with you guys .. fair play for accepting that damage is inevitable but at the same time my heart sank for you both when that damage was revealed.
It was tough but all good. Fortunately, getting it fixed won't cost too much.
@@wayalife maybe consider a different bumper or corner armor?
Fall colors and epic four wheeling with the skinny pedal makes for an amazing video😃. Cindy did an awesome job with that monster. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍🇺🇸
So glad you enjoyed watching this and yes, Cindy is a great driver :)
Better than any action movie. Almost crushed my phone LOL 😂
🤣 Too funny! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome guys The Great state of maine l fly fish maine for past 22 years. 🇺🇸👍🦌
Deer hunt for past 25 years
Bethel is a nice area no place like Maine period in my Book !!
Thank you The Vermonter
It really is beautiful out there.
The first dent is always the hardest...after that it is all downhill...LOL. Great video as always!!
LOL - all the more reason why we'll get this one fixed. If we leave it, we'd just add more :)
That synergy Jeep, I felt bad for it, the jeep not the driver...talk about beating the crap out of a vehicle...WOW... Thanx for the video...Gladiator made it through lots of tight spaces with a minor damage, it gives it more character...😜
It was tough but a hell of a lot of fun.
She’s got a few bumps & bruises but mechanically 100%!
Many a tail light was harmed in the making of this video 😂 great stuff man! Great driving Cindy 🤙
LOL - too funny but oh so true :)
It hurts to watch the carnage. These guys and gals are crazy.
It was a tough day for sure but only because the trails were made for much smaller vehicles. Still, we got it done and had a great time.
Man Ho Man! This one was epic. I thought the Rubicon trail was torture.🤐 I'm gonna call this run taillight mania. Alright, you Jeepsters see you on the trail.
LOL
I was really hoping you guys would make it through the whole trip without any damage. At the same time i have to say this has to be the best NE wheeling video i have ever seen. Everyone took there blows like champs! You guys never disappoint. Thank you!
Thank you my friend. The wheeling was the real deal out there. Had tons of fun.
Cindy drives like hell!!!! Awesome driver indeed!!! It was a really hard day in the office 😜
LOL - sorry for making your day at work a tough one. As far as Cindy goes, she really is a hell of a driver :)
Beautiful scenery, beautiful Jeeps, and beautifully shot episode....loved every damn minute of it, fastest 34mins of my life. A perfect Friday gift with some whiskey on the rocks. As a Californian, but WA native, that trail didn’t look all that hard, but watching well built machines struggle proved that the camera adds 15lbs and lies relentlessly about trail difficulty. Kudos!
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Awesome! 🤘🤘 Thrash'em up Thursday. Now can someone fab up some rear taillight guards or make some flush round lights for my Gladiator and take my money. 👍
Y’all some beast that’s what these machines are for thanks for making some epic content
So glad you had fun watching our video :)
The Ledge at 19 minutes was crazy. The long wheel base seemed to do great. Eddie Thank you!
In the trees, the JT was at a disadvantage for sure but on the ledges, it had it.
Awesome!! you got the tree climb!!!!
LOL - Just barely! You were on your way up before we could get in position. Fortunately, Cindy had the camera rolling and caught it. Now you can see why we were all screaming at ya!
The tree climb was epic!
Cindy gonna get her shot lol
Great video and learned milestars=no traction
LOL - Milestar Patagonia MT's = NO traction, difficult to balance, tread that cups and wears out fast. Essentially, they're a terrible tire and one that I have no idea why they're so trendy right now.
@@wayalife you get what you pay for they are half the price of any good tire
@@ljbenziger Couldn't agree more. The more I see these tires in action or lack there of, the more I can't understand why anyone would want them regardless of how cheap they are.
@@wayalife Some people just cut corners that shouldn't be cut and tires are one of them.
Great video guys
Thank you
Crazy how everything is slippery no matter it’s wet or dry....
Big body damage made by a small tiny tree, nature is so strong.
Always love your work, thank you..
LOL - oh yeah, nature will always kick your butt.
Great video. Damn those Jeeps put in work today
Took some work getting big Jeeps through a tight and narrow trail made for smaller Jeeps. Had a lot of fun though. Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is my typical daily terrain. It’s good to see what set ups work in this environment. You all are great for posting this for those of us who are wishing we could be there! So Rear quarter armor looks like a must!
If this is your daily terrain, yeah, for a Gladiator, it's probably something you'll want. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Im in Tennessee, yeah never take a Gladiator eastcoast wheeling absolutely do not take your rig to Windrock unless you want alot of damage
Ya...thinking Jeep kinda had a brain fart by hanging the taillights out past the side of the bed. Rough day for lights for sure. Love the video and the views. Beautiful. 👍🏻
If nothing else, someone brain farted thinking that it'd be a good idea to put proximity sensors in the lights and thus, make them stick out so far. Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Cindy n°1 at min 26:00. First time (or better say first terrain) i see your monsters awkward... Quite nice challenge! Thumbs up
THAT was some HARDCORE WHEELING great video you guys did wow ! Jeeps climbing trees and the tail light carnage was great !
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it :)
To brake lights! Awesome footage.. thank you guys for the amazing adventures
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Woohoo!! Carnage Day!! AKA Taillight Thursday!!
LOL - it was a hell of a day for taillights :)
@@wayalife yes it was , look like good fun
Been following along on this adventure, as well as following along with you guys since 2007. It is awesome to see you all over here in the northeast! We go to Bethel, Maine very year since 2008 for the Jeep Jamboree, and LOVE their trails and the surrounding area in general! Hope you have enjoyed wheeling in the northeast where the trails are tight, rocky, and greasy after it rains! Have fun out there, and very jealous of this trip!!
We're happy to hear you've been watching our videos for as long as you have and still enjoy them. Great wheeling you guys have out there.
Cindy good job! I don't know how you guys go off road as much as you do with so little damage!
Maybe your group can get a deal on a half dozen left tail lights (HA HA). You guys are the best! Thanks for the trip
(Glad my Jeep was in the garage asleep)
LOL!! No kidding, might need to order a case of them :)
you would think by now there would be aftermarket flush mounted tail lights.
Holy crap!!! That’s the type of wheeling where somethings going to break every time. Tough back East!
Oh yeah, it's a real challenge or at least, for Jeeps that are as wide and long as ours.
Wayalife Bummed about the damage to your new rig, but like a Phoenix, it will comeback looking as good as ever!
Synergy had it out for that hardtop! Great video series!
LOL - that is for sure! So glad you've been enjoying the series :)
Not on purpose, but shit happens sometimes. At least we had FUN doing it!!!
How aggressive they drive is directly proportional to how pissed off this trail is making them lol
Calm down Dave, I get it, I'd be passed too but no need to lose a window about it.
You guys are rockstars....but forrest stars....well....
I love the videos, you guys are awesome
Cindy did a great job. You guys definitely put your jeeps through the paces.
It was a tough one for sure especially in a big and long Gladiator truck. Cindy really did great out there :)
@@wayalife keep up the great video's
Epic video
Glad you liked it :)
Good video, keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it :)
Wooow...! This is amazing.
Wayalife It is the best channel in RUclips.
And Cindy.... Woooow...!
Greetings from City of Mexico.
LOL - thank you. We're so happy you enjoy our videos :)
Gotta love Dave! Awesome video and great wheeling Cindy.
Might just be the funnest one so far. Lovin it!
Thank you my friend :)
The BORAT “you will never get this sound track” lol
I just watched 1-7 amazing journey!! Thanks for the great clips and story! Keep up the grind WAYALIFE family much love💚
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice video. Fun watching that guy climb the tree.
LOL - I thought for sure he was gonna endo. The camera doesn't quite capture just how steep that first climb was.
its part of the game you know lol LOVE IT LOL
LOL - of course!
Awesome! I would love to have seen a guy or two running interco tsl’s tires. Ok well, maybe next time. Much appreciated!!
That was some awesome content for sure. Unfortunately some tree hits were encountered. Thanks for sharing your terrific experience, stay safe.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Holy crap you guys! Way to go Cindy! Nice driving job there! That trail looked absolutely NASTY!!! Great video!!! :)
Thanks! We're so glad you enjoyed this one and yes, it was a challenging trail.
@@wayalife I'm sure I'm going to watch this over and over! Lol
Cindy did a great job driving, alot of carnage but it looked like you all had fun. Great job!!!
Had a great time for sure. Glad you enjoyed seeing it all :)
You go Cindy !!!
Cindy says thank you :)
New England is no joke, great driving Cindy!!
Oh yeah, it's the real deal and we had fun out there!
3 feet up a tree, "are you sure I can't gun it?" Love it!!!!
LOL - what kills me is how calm Dave is when he says it.
Props for taking the brand new Gladiator on a mountain goat trail ! Great driving Cindy!! ❤️🐞
It was tough to take something that big and long through a trail really made for something a LOT smaller and shorter but we had fun. Cindy says thank you :)
Dang! Another epic trail back East! Awesome video!!! The carnage!! 🙀 I felt for Cindy, sorry girl.
Thanks Rachel and Cindy appreciate it :)
Came here in 1995 for my honeymoon in a ‘87 YJ that was a month away from getting a new engine and transmission. Fun times, but after that we towed it with my Cherokee because I wanted to make sure we could get home.
100 yrds, hr.& 1/2 and and 3 taillights. Epic!
LOL - yeah, it was that kind of day :)
Gracious you guys really worked for it that day. Way to go Cindi, that was no easy task. And props to Harris, he was in full beast mode shoving those Jeeps lol.
LOL - so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Well you (Cindy ) push the EVO Gladiator to the limit, your rig is outstanding.
Thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed our video :)
Yay, you made it to my state. Been to Bethel many times but never had a chance to wheel there. Great video as always.
Loved it up there. Wheeling was epic!
You guys always have a blast off roading... You would be board here in Australia 4x4ing is done slowly where as I like your method plant it and have fun 🤭
LOL - thanks. If you weren't so far away, I think we'd love to wheel out there anyway :)
I am impressed, very good video thanks, greetings from Mexico
Thank you, we're happy to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Love footage of wheelin in CA/Utah but very Glad to see good wheeling in North East😀
It's different out there for sure. So glad we had a chance to experience it for ourselves :)
I liked the handling of the white gladietor more the idea is to try to take care of the jeep as much as possible although I consider that route level 9 on the off road through the trees
For something as big as a Gladiator, yeah, it was pretty tough LOL
...and one more thing... your girl is a SAINT! My wife would kill me.
LOL - she's been my saint for over 25 years :)
New England wasn't kind to you guys! But it looks like you all had a blast none the less!
Oh yeah, had a blast out there.
This is why your content is the best! Not afraid to send the gnar! ;-)
Thank you. We're so glad you enjoy our content :)
You guys are amazing. Massive fan from Australia
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the video :)
love Maine, far to many people never get up there. Its beautiful country.
It really is beautiful up there.
@@wayalife Man we love it there. Looking at maybe getting property, who knows. Your videos are absolutely "Awesome". Installation especially, the detail makes it so easy to follow. Thanks for all you do and sharing really appreciate it.
Truly humbled you would say as much and glad to know that our videos are helpful to you.
@@wayalife o man...I am a hands on person love working on stuff. Your stuff is right up my alley. Living in Florida the summers are brutal due to heat. But fall and winter months are ideal. My wife is a outdoor junkie, loves anything outdoors.
Straight carnage awesome video guys keep it up
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it :)
I think this was the most brutal trail that I have seen you guys do.
LOL - it was the real deal for sure. Although, I personally felt that Carnage Canyon in Colorado was tougher.
Wery wery wery nice offroad 👍👍👍👍👍 👏
You guys are wild 🤗
LOL - not necessarily on purpose. We just wheeled where we were taken to.
I have so many questions lol I got the sport max tow because of our camping addiction lol plus adopting 2 young kids and I wanna build it to US I know you understand that! I am thinking of staying with the 35 s but want 37s and I hear you say you swapped out your axels I obviously have much to learn! And I appreciate the way you go about showing us the work you do! I am binge watching your RUclips channel now lol
LOL - congratulations on getting your Gladiator and I'm so glad to hear you enjoy our videos. 35's is a great size to run and one that be a lot more affordable too. No need for bigger axles until you start running 40's.
Wayalife thanks for the heads up and I will be checking in.... regularly lol
Congrats Cindy from a Bethel Maine native, #207
Cindy says thank you. We had a great time out there :)
Have a great time thanks
Great video thank you!
You bet! We're so glad you enjoyed it :)
Check Cindy out rocking the gladiator awesome job awesome trail great job to all sorry about tail end it happens thought I heard Cindy say uh oh better get maico 😂😂 as always be safe
LOL - It's all good and the damage wasn't even that ba :)
True that easy fix glad everyone is ok
I've heard a lot of hype about those milestar tires, nice to see actual footage of them on a slick trail. They kinda suck from what I see. BTW nice filming Eddie!
Milestar had done a great job of giving away free tires to social media "influencers" and that's where all the hype came from. But, seeing is believing and from what I saw, they really did suck. Also, none of the guys who were running them had anything good to say about them. Aside from not being able to hook up at all, I was told they were difficult to balance, the tread had cupping issues and were wearing out really fast. Just goes to show that good marketing can't give you good performance.
For a less expensive 37 or 40 I like the Maxxis Razrs.
They are priced lower, and weigh less than the leading brands.
They look like all terrains. Even more so than the Nitto Ridge Grapplers... that ARE all terrains...
Our trails around here are slick and muddy, similar to the trail on this video except we have deep ruts some as deep as 6 feet. I've been running Wildpeak MT's for about a year and they do ok for an inexpensive tire however in the really thick mud they'll pack up I've been looking at Cooper and BF Goodrich for replacement it just takes me forever to make up my mind lol
This video is sooooo entertaining!! Good to see manufacturers and guys with money doing this and putting it on video so we could enjoy it. Cuss guys like me would not be able to do this with those trucks, maybe in an old beater but definitely not in new trucks im still paying on thru bank! Hahaha!! This adventure was soooo epic to watch!!
So glad you had fun watching this :)
That’s crazy man. I just busted my taillight on Sunday and super tight places are just not fun as I learned
Sorry to hear that
I'm supposed to say jokes like "now it's got character" and "if you didn't break something, you weren't pushing it"... but it breaks my heart! You kids have huevos of steel!
LOL - thanks. It's always tough to do damage like this but we knew what we were getting ourselves into. Fortunately, the fix isn't going to cost too much.
I'm impressed with the gladiator, not an easy trail for sure!
It was a really tough trail for something as big and long as the Gladiator. Fortunately, Cindy was driving and she did great :)
I'm so sorry for the blow on the side and the tail light but Cindy,it's not your fault you did everything great as a great driver you are,but this things sometimes happen. I loved the video as always although to be honest,I suffer when I see any damage in any Jeep. Thanks Cindy and Eddie for everything.
Cindy thanks you and yes, it's always tough to do damage. Fortunately, the cost to fix it isn't too bad especially when compared to Synergy LOL
Wayalife Yes,you are right. Take care and enjoy.
Impressive driving Cindy! Get some of that Northeast Woods Wheelin!
Cindy thanks you and yes, we had a great time out there :)
Eddie and Cindy, I absolutely cannot watch enough of your content; whether it be JL, JT, or JK related, you two make wonderfully entertaining as well extremely educational videos! Thank you.
Now I must know who does your graphics for your Jeeps?! In the market for some partner decals for my JLU and need to be pointed in the right direction.
We're truly flattered you would say as much. We do our own graphics.
@@wayalife Wow!!! Now I'm even more impressed that you print your own vinyl graphics for your rigs! Do you sell said graphics on your webstore by chance? If not, no worries; simply had to ask. Thanks again you two and keep those vids coming!
I wanted to be like 419. Awww 🥰 Great Video. and nice taillights!
I’m impressed how well the ultimate 60’s are holding up with all that abuse!
You know, I'd be the first to say that I wasn't a fan of them when they first came out especially seeing some of them break brackets and the like. However, they've come a long way and made some nice improvements over the last few years. I'm really glad we decided to test out a set as they really held up great on this week long trip. It wasn't just our Dana UD60 that was getting torture tested, it was ALL the rigs running them and they all did great. I would highly recommend them now.
Man insurance companies must love the JK/JL Experience 😂😂😂
Very good videos !! 👍🏻🇫🇷
Thank you :)
Awesome day of wheeling and another great video! A little painful to watch!
LOL - it was a tough day out for sure. Glad you toughed it out and watched till the end :)
wow that trail looks wild as hell and fun #taillights .
LOL - it was a hell of a lot of fun :)
Apparently, that trail does not like taillights. Your videos inspire me more and more to go wheeling. I just put a 3" lift on my JK this past spring. I'm looking to hit the trails as soon as I get some worthy tires.
Awesome, so glad to hear it :)
Looks great but you guys should come out to Colorado. Off road paradise out here.
We've been to Colorado many times and even made a series on it years ago. Here's a link to just one of the 4 episodes ruclips.net/video/HxTUz1j-weE/видео.htmlsi=GGsWbHwpJdjxuUYo
Good time for the stinger bar
classic wheeling in new england ! come back for jeep jamboree for more of the same !!
Awesome stuff for sure. Would love to come back someday.
