Thank you Dave for all the incredible information you provide for free. I have purchased a lot from your website. I feel that is a very minimal cost compared to the wealth of knowledge I have acquired. With great appreciation…👍
The old adage, “take care of your gear and it will take care of you” demonstrated to perfection. Great stuff brother.
I am your fan bro from india, tamilnadu, thoothukudi . I am always see your show dirty rotten survival bro. Keep rocking bro.
Good little trick for the Auto Park feature.
Great tip about the seatbelt. I have to go tension my line and will use that tip for sure.
Dave, When you spool your winch rope. Just put the jeep in neutral and lightly apply your hand break you can winch without it going into auto park. I have a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon and that method works fine
This series has been super informative
Jeeezz those are some OLD SCHOOL army issued leather gloves. Minus the wool inserts. THOSE SURPLUS FIND,?? DAY ??
I've been looking for those since the 90s
Great video Dave on setting up the wench,I love your truck it's pretty awesome. Glad the seat belt trick worked for u,take care Dave.
Love how he even thinks about protecting the tree. You don’t see many people doing that. So much respect for the man, the myth, the legend.
Love this series and that jeep is just looking bad a$$
Anyone else notice that the bigger Dave's beard gets, the bigger his muscles get. 👍
I've noticed.... in a NOT ""GAY WAY"" 🙈🙉🙊
Like Samson from the Old Testament. BRB gonna trash my razor
Even though I have a Toyota Tacoma, I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you sir.
Videos like this are worth their weight in gold. Just sayin.
Oh, and I can't tell which rocks more; that crazy beard or the license plate.
Either way, keep up the good work.
I laughed hard at the license plate
That is a nice Jeep. It's been a min since I've owned a Jeep, but I did mount a 10k lb winch on my Dakota only because they are so useful. I prefer steel cable only because it's more abrasion resistant. When I first got into winches, I had to educate myself and funny enough, it seemed like there wasn't many US videos from people who knew what they were talking about or didn't mention much, I watched tons of vids of Australian offroad vids and let me tell ya, those fellas know how to use their equipment. I learned so many ways to use a winch it's priceless. One of the biggest things I learned was maintaining an electric winch. A big issue is, condensation or moisture building up in the motor or on the solenoid, causing corrosion, which will kill the winch. Best way to mitigate that was to use the winch for 3-5 mins once a week or on some type of regular schedule to heat it up enough to evaporate any moisture build up inside. So twice a month I use the winch to spool put about half the line and just spool it back in putting as much tension on it as I can using my gloved hand. Had my winch for a few years now and it has always worked when I needed it too. Another thing was to keep a smidge of electrical grease in the plug on both the remote and the winch if it's not a cordless, keeps the prongs from corroding.
I also keep a tool box in the back with just winch accessories. I keep a 12' logging chain to chain my truck to a tree to keep it from moving when recovering other people's vehicles. 2 30' 20k lb rated tow straps, 4 bright orange winch line blankets, 6 20 ton shackles, tree saver strap, 3 20k lb rated snatch blocks, leather gloves, 2 head lamps, and a large flashlight. More times than not I use this stuff to pull others out of mud holes or the ditch, but the to straps add the extra length so I can double my winch line, but the extra snatch blocks come in handy if I'm stuck and I have to winch at angle due to no tree's directly in front of me or if I need to winch out backwards, which is not my favorite thing to do but I've done it before. Also comes in handy to use them to lift things using a large tree with large branches, especially game animals or some equipment.
WOW!!! Thank you for the hint at the end! Almost bought that part. Really appreciate 🙏🏼
I never knew that this pre tensioning thing was even a thing. Thanks Dave super informative
That’s a badass truck. He’s shtf ready. I’d go anywhere with him. I know I’man excellent student at the ripe age of 52. I’m not that know it all type of person. I love to learn and believe you can learn up to your death.
Great series, Dave. I sure hope that after you go through all the features we will get to see this bad boy in action, going on adventures, camping out of it, etc. That's got to be the punchline to all this.
Great video as always Dave
Nice work captain. You make a great fair lead. I don't see any bad wraps. The seatbelts safety feature... got to love that. I just attach it behind my back in when transporting cars. Sometimes I need to open the door to see where the tires are. These new cars put on the brakes when you open the door. Lol. Safety first. You should get a new jeep every year from Chrysler. Wonderful advertising. I want one now.
Great tip on the seatbelt-auto park issue. As I have a gladiator, too, only a matter of time before I encountered this issue.
Nice addition
Great video series. The only thing I would change is the winch. Get one with an air compressor and a wireless winch control. And don't forget the winch cover for when it's not in use.
Nice build though..
Keep up the great work Dave.
Cheers !!
Great video Dave! Most precautions were taken and great new products. I really like the soft shackle and the blanket. I was in the Army and when to recovery school for 6 weeks. Alls we did was get things stuck and wench them out. The only thing you could have done different in an actual situation of recovery. I know that you were paying attention to how your wench was spooled so this is irrelevant. But it's best to stand off to the side with your remote recovering the vehicle or in the driver seat. Because in an actual recovery situation whether you had that blanket on or not and the line actually broke it would still be coming directly at you where you were at.
Thats a sweet set up got going on with the jeep
Thanks Dave, Never thought of the new winch tensioning, Yah won't see that on WranglerStar. But the Auto park was well worth the watch. I will pass this on and send the vid out to my friends. Both of them.
Can't beat tricks an tips thanks Mr. Dave.
👊💀
The gladiator is looking sweet, I think about it sometimes but I’ve spent so much time and money on my wrangler decking it out and it’s paid off so I don’t want to go back lol.
Thx for the seatbelt trick, really good to know JIC, an thx for the vid.
Awesome video thank you so much for that tip on when the door is open it won’t drive just plug the belt in lol so simple I was hating that feature of my gladiator so thanks Buddy God bless you sir
looks good mister
David, Very interesting series. You have awesome content
Just did mine again on my WJ after getting a new hidden winch bumper and a new synthetic line last month. Used a light pole in a neighboring business lot and had to snatch up the slope because my line was too long for the area I was trying to tension at. If you get over to WV I have some good spots to check out and ride
Wao… absolutely amazing… thanks for the information… The Gladiator is looking like a war machine… love it… you have invest a couple of thousands but is worthy… 👍
Love this series Dave just bought a Jeep a month ago in the middle of moding it out. I think this would be easier with 2 people one to steer while one person winches.
Now that's a common-man's ride!
Great info. Thanks 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for the video
Badass jeep👍🏼
Thanks Dave, I have yet to add tension to mine lol, forgot about the jeep safety do dad's. Ill remember!
Excellent 👌🏼👍🏽👍🏽😎🍻
Awesome videos Dave you’re having way too much fun with your jeep gladiator I want one now to replace my field truck. Although I’ve been in and out of some pretty hairy overland situations in my 3/4 ton Chevrolet 2500 HD Z 71. That’s just in the line of my work
Great tutorial 👌
That was a good point at the end of the video. I didn't think of that. I think my wife enjoyed helping but yeah... duh
good video!
Couple of months ago when I was at my SO's Florida place I was coming back from giggin stingrays seen a guy covered in black mud hoofin it, I pulled over asked if he was ok? he said he and his buds where out jeepin all 3 stuck. I said hop in: So we drive out where they where 3 newer jeeps all tricked out all mired. the nearest one was nosedown in water/mud but it looked like he had a stout bumper I sent him out with my winch line steel not synthetic and a hook shackle hooked up to my old W200, He hooked up and said ok. I hollered at him too move, engaged the winch and pulled in slack, as soon as it came under tension the old dodge dug in so I threw a chock on my wheel. and took up a bit more.. snap! his whole damn plastic covering of bumper came off, he hooked thru the aesthetic part yikes... I ended up getting them all out and teaching them how to use the Danforth anchor and the high-lift jack knockoffs they had (the kockoffs are pure crap most needed to be de rusted we ended up using mine.. I always carry a Danforth cuz trees in my part of Florida don't have much holding power....It was fun we all learned something and generally good kids, dogs had a blast so exhausted after giggin and recoverin had to pick two of them up haha I felt bad for the guys bumper. they where pretty impressed with my old beater dodge that I have about 500 bucks in.
Synthetic winch rope does not store energy if it snaps it falls to the ground
Great video Dave!!!enjoyed it i have 12k winch on my Tacoma has a remote by US OFF ROAD winch,,,,and bubba rope, I want those Matts OFF ROAD Recovery ropes made by Yankum Ropes .
Good info and you didn't try to sell us anything.
Have you considered a collapsing land anchor to cover more bases?
Good video
Cool
nice
Jurassic park guy likes this! RIP
I'm surprised you didn't get a manual transmission. Though they are getting tough to come by.
Would putting the transfer case in neutral do the trick? Tow mode, if both the front and back axel’s are disconnected it would not matter if the transmission is in park.
I guess great to have if u get stuck in a hole. or something. Can pull you out What other uses can u use this for?
Could you put a roller on the bumper, underneath where the cable comes out and run the cable underneath the jeep, hook to a tree straight behind you and pull the Jeep backwards? Do they work like that? Thanks
Naders raiders strike again...
Are they French NBC gloves yer wearing Dave ?
Dave, curious question, what is the maximum weight as cargo that your jeep can take and after the custom built add-on's and equipment, how much weight is left for personnel and/or other accessories? How much empty weight do you think you should allow for last minute cargo or so you don't max out the weight capabilities to drive safely? Like the vehicle build you have but just looking as what you or the manufacture thinks should be the safe cargo load for driving and handling if you know what I mean. Thanks, looking forward to the end product and all your ideas.
Or a lot of weight in the driver's seat with the seat belt buckles. You were lucky it wasn't on inertia reels. This is why you always use a second man when wenching forward. Like the old open face reels with the line guides on the front. Keeps the line straight in or out.
Fyi: if you can't afford a beautiful new jeep, just get a used old Subaru. Super capable off road. Like a giant quad.
No autopark feature when the doors are off, or at least the wiring harness to the doors is disconnected.
What about a mirror system that attaches to the front of the vehicle so you can steer the vehicle and watch how the line spools up at he same time we have tubing testers that test tubing in the oilfield and that’s how They Watch their linespool up
Good morning brother. How are you?
Having done high-rise window cleaning when I was a young man, I just cringe every time I see a nasty spool of line on a drum. Our suspension line was never allowed to go slack on the drum.
I'm just curious. Whats the total price tag? We got to be over 75k
These start 76k in Australia and top model is about 90k plus on road costs a few grand more, before adding any extra modifications . Only available with petrol engine , with a lower payload and towing capacity than most other similar ute's in Australia. With a 20k or more lower price tag for Japan or Asian built ute's. Jeep has a terrible reputation for reliability, customer service and value for your dollar in Australia. What is there reliability reputation in America like?
Base price for a Gladiator Sport is $34,000. If Dave's put $10K worth of mods on there so far I'd be surprised. You can tell by the brands of certain aftermarket mods that he's watching pennies.

Not sure about the new Jeeps, but the older jeeps are well known for being the kings of offroad here in the US. Most people can buy a nice used Jeep for under 20K depending on year and model. However, when it comes to a Jeep, most like the older ones because they have the 4.0L inline 6 engine (before year 2000 I believe when Jeep stopped the inline 6 production). Not the most powerful, but they last forever. Many have well over 300 thousand miles on them and usually out last everything else on the vehicle. I've had 3 Jeeps. Love them, but since I sold my last one because I needed a pick up truck, I'm investing in a different Jeep here shortly, getting a Jeep Kaiser (1968) M35A2 with a 465 Ltd 7.8L multifuel engine with 46" tires and that's 6 wheel drive. Other than climbing steep inclines or rock crawling, a Jeep wrangler or similar variant won't even touch it as far as everything else.
👍✌💯🇺🇸
Don't burn up that wiring harness. Lol
Why do the manufacturers DO that?? My side by side will not run correctly unless the seatbelt is plugged in, once one of them is, it runs perfect. it WAS DRIVING ME NUTS! Nothing about it in the manual, found it online. AND I will be trying out my 3500 winch so this is could not have one at a better time!
I hate all of the PITA "safety features" that they are tossing into vehicles so they can charge us more for them. I want to buy a damn car, not a robot.
With all that weight you keep adding, ya better start working on horsepower and drivetrain
Autopark just another reason I will never buy a new vehicle. I would rather build my own.
