He's 100% right about your content. It's not pretentious in any way, just excellent stories and information . Always a pleasure when you upload a new video. Definitely special.
I remember watching Taylor's JK walk around and thinking it couldn't get any better, proven wrong. I have used Taylor and Rebel for most of my build and they are by far, the best shop out there for any Jeep owner. Taylor talks and explains everything like he is your best friend. Brad great video as always and ditto on what Taylor said about your content and your brand. Really love watching your videos.
Brad... a massively big thanks to the both of you for this walk around. After years of building and wheeling my JK I’ve reached the point where trying to shoehorn 5 days worth of gear and a family of 4 is just too much. This was a tremendous help in helping me come to terms with moving on from the JK to the JT. 🍻
@@17fourU : Meh, different strokes for different folks. No reason to be a hater. It's only money & $100K is pocket change for some people, just a rounding error in their bank account. His JK was nice & so is this JT.
I love Brad’s videos, but never as much as this one. Thank you... first time I’ve commented, and the genuine love for the Jeep and family lifestyle was terrific. Thank you both.
@@EngineerPrepper Both of those items are optional, you don’t need a tent that nice like they said, same goes for the sliders. you can use a 40$ tent and cheaper sliders. But I know what you mean in terms of costs. Builds like these are still possible with a budget too though
Your amazing Brad love and look forward to your content every time you post it brightens my day I can’t wait to get a build going if my own you’ve inspired me to get out and explore our beautiful country. Thank you for your service to our country as well. You sir are an amazing person.
This was an excellent walk through, well done guys. Even though I don't understand many of the components discussed, it's still exciting to learn about what can be done!

Keep trying to talk the wife into letting me get a gladiator. Gonna show her this and try to get her to give in 😉 great video Brad, also happy belated veterans day brother! 😁🤙🏼
Magllua, I bribed my wife to get the overland model by making our first trip to outlet mall with my CC. It worked, now just have to save up for the down payment 😁🛻🛻🛻
I should have left my Jeep Compass plain Jane. If I saw this Jeep in the parking lot I would park at the other end of the lot then go to check his Jeep out...awesome mods although well-equipped it's not overly done. The silver paint and those custom seat covers are outstanding. Great video, Brad! Uh, excuse me, I need to go to the store and buy a couple of lottery tickets.
I would agree with him. Your content is amazing. I enjoy every single video you post. You content is so enjoyable, especially since a lot of people these days don’t really go anywhere. It’s very nice to view and dream of doing this type of stuff one day. I really enjoyed your last video being in Baja.
Absolutely beautiful build! Congratulations on the baby! Awesome shout out at the end. I really enjoy your videos Brad. True, honest and exciting! I don't know how anyone can give video a thumbs down..
Truck U showed a kit from Baxter Performance for the Gladiator that prevents the engine oil drain back issue. 30 minutes after shut off all the engine oil drains back to the crankcase, even the filter is bone dry. Every start up is a dry start.
My sentiments also. Thank you for good content and keeping it real. My wife and I are doing a RUclips channel also. Ours is us just living our adventures and not hiping it up. Your videos inspire me, thanks.
Great video. Taylor is my friend for a long time and his builds are top of the line. Taylor and the guys at Rebel do the best work on Jeeps in my opinion. I’m glad to have a buddy to copy a build from with all the knowledge he has on it. Great video Brad.
Lost a lot of respect for rebel offroad when they were talking all kinds of trash on American Jeeper for his crash in Moab. Nothing like kicking a man when he is down. Really poor form.
Really an awesome build. I know its all personal taste but that is the best looking front bumper I have seen.....and the rear isn't too shabby either. Agree with the owner about those round KC lights. Old school look on and old school looking vehicle. Perfect. And agree with the statement at the end.
If I’m over landing and camping comfort is a premium. I’m always setting up my 20 ft yurt and wood burning stove. I’m not using a cheap top tent on a vehicle. To each their own though. Great build! I’m currently about to start building a gladiator rubicon. I’m not rock crawling boulders do I went rubicon for the add one already installed. I’m only going to replace the bumpers and add a winch. I’m then adding a full size cap with a roof rack for my gear. I’ll probably also add the kc lights.
Seriously though! Thank you Brad for making such great videos. You’re on another level when it comes to the creativity and quality of your videos. I’ve learned so much from your videos since buying my first Wrangler a little over a year ago. Thank you for making such informatively great videos!
About to trade in my 2012 JKUR for a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. Kind of nervous. Kind of excited. I love my JK, but the Gladiator is calling my name. I love this build.
Wow 😲 that’s amazing Gladiator. I agreed with what it been said from the gladiator owner told in the last part of the video, thank you very much for your passion and your job Brad, you are great.
Great looking Gladiator!! Very very inspiring….would love to see a written list of modifications, any chance you can share or send them to me directly?
If you want to remove heat from the engine bay I would put vents similar to the Hellcats hood. Or do some venting in the fender well by the exhaust. Maybe do some ceramic coatings of the manifolds?
Brad outstanding video. Love love the build. Gave me some great ideas for my JL. Could you tell me were did he place the auxiliary battery? With the solar panel on the hood I've got to do that mod on my rig. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks Brad
Thank you! He just went with the standard Genisis under the hood dual battery system. I'd take a look at a Battle Born setup if you are considering a secondary battery.
This build is sick! You don’t have to get the top dog rubicon especially if you are gonna build it up. Love the safe for “loud items” hahaha.. especially going into cougar and bear country. Only thing missing is a rifle mount for bolt action.
Very nice walk through this awesome Jeep JT. Although one point is missing, you never talked about the spare tire? where it should be fit? or is there an alternative to skip the spare?
I agree, wish brad would review a Jeep someone bought used (something like $10,000 - $15,000) and that individual dumped $5,000 -$10,000 into it over a 2-5 year span. Not many people can afford $100,000 Jeeps with less then one year of ownership. For example, I spend over $7,000 on my Jeep and I’m still not done. It took me about around 5 years (college slowed that down) to save up that kind of money.
What do you mean? Unattainable? Everything is attainable, with hard work, dedication, and desire to achieve. Some just have to take smaller steps to get things done, but then they usually appreciate and take care of their stuff more, do research and buy once, doing it once.
@@7sinscustoms Great motivational speech, but let's be realistic here. Spending $100k on a Jeep is not smart. Sure, anyone could do the work necessary to afford it, but only really see these from companies looking to market their products as that is the only justified way to do it.
It would be cool if those Dometic slide out fridge racks had a swivel base on them to turn the cool towards the back of the tailgate when you slide it out.
This is truly the build I would love to do for a JT gladiator. maybe in a few years he'll sell it and I'll just buy this one off him. Rebel off Road seems to have their stuff all together. Definitely checking them out.
Always enjoy your videos I love the adventure I love the history and you get to see things that you can't see that you can't get to them thank you Richie for being Richie
This one is about the best I've seen. Of course, I wouldn't want the payments. I'll stay with my paid for 2010 that I rock crawl, drive all over the country... and i don't have to fear a scratch, lol. And I keep all that extra money, lol!
Rubicon trail is great but Fordyce is where it’s at. Running the complete trail and camping ⛺️ is the ultimate vehicle test and overland adventure. Of course you can always hit it after you hit the Con.
You can have a kick ass RV and yes and RV is a lot more fun to camp inside. I can still go four wheeling and then take the camper out when I go camping some national parks will not let you sleep in tents has to be a hard top because it bears

So glad you found some value in this video, I think Taylor did a great job of explaining so many things forks are interested in.
When the 392 goes to the Gladiator, I will official be on the list to purchase.
I love watching vid's of builds that show what I could build "IF I HAD AN UNLIMITED BUDGET!" Thanks for the vid. I think it's called DREAMING!!
I like the comment about his safe for "loud things"
This guy’s builds are on point
This guys builds are payed for by other Jeep owners
They're all expensive, holy...
Not Practical though .
Yes. You (everyone else), too, can build out your Jeep Gladiator, for the low low price of only, $100,000 dollars. Yippee!!!
@@17fourU : Meh, different strokes for different folks. No reason to be a hater. It's only money & $100K is pocket change for some people, just a rounding error in their bank account. His JK was nice & so is this JT.
Such a sweet gladiator Very humble guy an very passionate about his builds awesome job 👍👍 as always be safe
Couldn't agree more!
@@TrailRecon p 9 0
This thing is truly an off road monster 🦾😎
I no
I came to learn, I’d want my gladiator to be a complete replica of his build!
Me too!
Same!!!!
Lmao
After the Squeeze,,, this is #1 on my list
Same! I’d probably change a few things here and there like a bigger tent like the iKamper 2.0 and maybe a slightly longer roof rack.
I love Brad’s videos, but never as much as this one. Thank you... first time I’ve commented, and the genuine love for the Jeep and family lifestyle was terrific. Thank you both.
Thank you so much and great to hear you are enjoying the videos!
Beast of a truck ! You can tell it's owned by a Top Knot though , Bring it over here to Australia it won't look like that for long.
As amazing as this jeep is (and it is!) I loved the off script at the end the best!
humbled by his comments for sure
It's a very nicely built jeep, but let's face it, most of us cant afford a build like this. Rebel is a huge proponent of this build.
The rock sliders alone are about $2000. The roof tent is $3500. That over 5k on just two items... imagine the rest of the build.
@@EngineerPrepper Both of those items are optional, you don’t need a tent that nice like they said, same goes for the sliders. you can use a 40$ tent and cheaper sliders. But I know what you mean in terms of costs. Builds like these are still possible with a budget too though
@@bluecow10 Yes your right, I was just pointing out, this particular build.
Thank you for featuring Taylor’s Iron Man JT It’s a beautiful build.
This is the first time I've looked at a Gladiator and considered to buy one damn this set up is perfect.
I feel like the Gladiator is probably one of the best Overland vehicles because it has the utility of a Jeep combined with utility of a truck
That’s why I looking 👀 at s diesel one
I have to concur with his last statement Brad!! Great build btw
Thank you!
Your amazing Brad love and look forward to your content every time you post it brightens my day I can’t wait to get a build going if my own you’ve inspired me to get out and explore our beautiful country. Thank you for your service to our country as well. You sir are an amazing person.

That was such a great show, Brad! Thank you. PBS! Get him a weekly show!
This was an excellent walk through, well done guys. Even though I don't understand many of the components discussed, it's still exciting to learn about what can be done!
Love my RO Xplore 1/2 rack. I got to meet Taylor at their shop. Everyone there was awesome and so helpful.
Top notch Jeep build. Love Rebel off road and you smashed this vid out of the ballpark.
I have been watching several videos on the gladiator, but this is the one that I really needed. Thanks for that!
Such an Epic Gladiator! Thanks for the video Brad!
Glad you liked it!

Fingers crossed for you and thank you!
Magllua,
I bribed my wife to get the overland model by making our first trip to outlet mall with my CC. It worked, now just have to save up for the down payment 😁🛻🛻🛻
I just got a 2021 Gladiator Mojave and it took a while to convince the wife. However it was worth every second. I already added a front bumper.
@@brianmuckey1962 yea, had to let her pick out the color and get leather seats 💺 🥾🪖 she's a queen of course 😁
@@SteveHarwood-pq3fn good to hear.
Nice build Taylor! Rebel is the best!!! And thanks Brand for putting so much time into the best Jeep...and now Ram content out there!
I should have left my Jeep Compass plain Jane.

The silver paint and those custom seat covers are outstanding. Great video, Brad! Uh, excuse me, I need to go to the store and buy a couple of lottery tickets.
Taylor knows his stuff. I have spoke with him and purchased from him in the past. Will already use him and Rebel Offroad for my builds.
I love TrailRecon! This my new favorite channel! Keep up the good work Brad!
Not really a Jeep guy but looking at this build, wow
And these two seem like the kind of guys I'd enjoy going camping with as well

So many people wonder "Why the hell would Jeep make a Wrangler Truck?" Well... Here's one compelling reason why. Amazing build!
Sweet truck! Can’t get enough Trail Recon.
Absolutely beautiful build! Congratulations on the baby! Awesome shout out at the end. I really enjoy your videos Brad. True, honest and exciting!

Do you know what Jeep is it originally ?
Watched 18 minutes and couldn't take that dude any longer.
Lost a lot of respect for rebel offroad when they were talking all kinds of trash on American Jeeper for his crash in Moab. Nothing like kicking a man when he is down. Really poor form.
I don't give a dang about all those lights and extras.... I just LOVE that suspension!!
What a beaut! I want one. He really knows how to build a clean and practical Jeep. Great job. This is a proper Jeep
Honestly not a huge fan of the Gladiator, but....This one is amazing, job well done sir !!!

Awesome build Taylor!!! Thanks for bringing him on Brad !!!
Like that Front Bumper and Winch combo setup. The color matched bumper looks really good
This man seen the parts catalog for a gladiator and said YES
Holy crap that table is awesome. I'm going to have to find one for overlanding instead of my camp kitchen one cause that saves so much space!
Looks over at my $20 fire extinguisher
😂😂
ha ha mine from a yard sale!
I love the attention to detail on this build, wow
I’ve always despised gladiators for some reason, this truck proved that I need to re-evaluate my opinion on them. Damn that sucker was pretty.
About to trade in my 2012 JKUR for a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. Kind of nervous. Kind of excited. I love my JK, but the Gladiator is calling my name. I love this build.
He's right Brad, awesome content as always!!
Thank you!
How do you go for Gross Vehicle Mass in the states? In Australia the Gladiator is only rated for a payload of just over 600kgs then it's overloaded.
Wow 😲 that’s amazing Gladiator.
I agreed with what it been said from the gladiator owner told in the last part of the video, thank you very much for your passion and your job Brad, you are great.
Now this is a great build! Props to Rebel off-road
I'm not a fan of the Gladiator at all but that one is freaking awesome! What a totally cool build. It wears those 40's nice!
Right on!
47 minutes 🤯🤯 Christmas came early!!! Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video, 1 hell of a rig 💪🤤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great looking Gladiator!! Very very inspiring….would love to see a written list of modifications, any chance you can share or send them to me directly?
Great video. I’m loving all these builds. They are giving me tons of ideas when I get my Jeep gladiator.
For sure the best Jeep and interview you’ve done. The details helping me plan my own. Great job!
What a great build and tour but even better the conversion. Thanks for sharing this content with us.
If you want to remove heat from the engine bay I would put vents similar to the Hellcats hood. Or do some venting in the fender well by the exhaust. Maybe do some ceramic coatings of the manifolds?
It looks fantastic but I'm guessing you get about 12 miles per gal.

That's a sweet rig. Lots of cool features.
The guy even modified his voice with twin catback muffler
Great looking JT. Come on back to Wyoming anytime (I live in Wyoming)
Very nice walk through this awesome Jeep JT. Although one point is missing, you never talked about the spare tire? where it should be fit? or is there an alternative to skip the spare?
Good point! He's not running a spare, just has a tire repair kit. I personally prefer to have a spare.
Talk about unattainable for the average Jeep owner...

Been binge watching your channel. It's awesome adventures Doc. Semper Fi!
This is truly the build I would love to do for a JT gladiator.
maybe in a few years he'll sell it and I'll just buy this one off him.
Rebel off Road seems to have their stuff all together.
Definitely checking them out.
Do u plan for a africa or asia or Russian the road of bones or Argentina to the tip of America's....
Can’t believe I watched the while video, what an cool build, every thing is very useful.
i love the way this JT looks,,, I'm building mine the same way but I'm in georgia and parts taking for ever to get home
Hi from Canada, nice Jeep friend, will be nice to add Mark 2 to the name.. Iron Man Mark 2

Wow, long but so interesting and informative. Rebel Off Road - #1... Awesome Gladiator Build...
Well built and beautiful jeep...
Can you tell me whats the main difference between the Gladiator, Rubicon and the wrangler..
This one is about the best I've seen. Of course, I wouldn't want the payments. I'll stay with my paid for 2010 that I rock crawl, drive all over the country... and i don't have to fear a scratch, lol. And I keep all that extra money, lol!
Merry Tex-Mas. Happy you three are safe and living your dream. "I bless you with peace, love & joy in your lives".
Great content.
Brad I really enjoy these vehicle “tours”. Lots of ideas and inspiration.
Rubicon trail is great but Fordyce is where it’s at. Running the complete trail and camping ⛺️ is the ultimate vehicle test and overland adventure. Of course you can always hit it after you hit the Con.
Nice setup! Question... Your cooler is open to weather, is that OK? I have the 75 Duel zone I thought it could not get wet.
TrailRecon, wow..!! awesome video, thank you so much, I love that jeep iron Man, My dream jeep.
For real you did an amazing job I dream of some day having a beast like yours beautifully done.
Best build I’ve ever seen very clean and on point.
SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AWESOME OVERLANDING JEEP!!! THX BRAD!!!
Nice clean TIG welds by the way on the front bumper!
You can have a kick ass RV and yes and RV is a lot more fun to camp inside. I can still go four wheeling and then take the camper out when I go camping some national parks will not let you sleep in tents has to be a hard top because it bears
