I was finally able to get this out for some wheeling. I went with some Broncos. I went with the owner of BroncBuster who brought two of his Bronco's out and then one of his customers came out as well. All three of the Bronco's are on portal axles with at least 37s. The only thing this thing couldn't do was the obstacles that had tight turns in them that I wasn't able to make a turn without getting severe body damage.

I have some video but it keeps giving me an error when trying to upload them

Lose a tail light?
Yeah, lost it on one of the first obstacles we went over. The backend flexed higher than expected and caught the top part of this rock. Luckily it just broke the bracket holding the taillight in.

I wasn't able to upload the video's but here is some gopro footage of it. Still learning how to use the gopro and didn't realize it had a title or that I could edit it.

Cool pics. That perspective looks weird on that last one. Front tires like 33s compared to rears. Looks like a good time.

Man, that looks cool. I'm going to have to break down and go.
It is a pretty cool place and has stuff for all types of builds. You should definitely check it out.

Thanks, I didn't even notice that but yeah it does look kind of weird.

So you are the lucky one that bought Tank The Unicorn. Well now known as Maximus.
I knew that Gladiator from somewhere. Glad to see it doing what was built for.
Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks for the pic. You guys did a great job on the decals on it and I also got the new name decal "MAXIMUS" from you guys as well which turned out great.

I remember that Jeep. Happy to see it’s getting put to good use!
You guys did an awesome job on it. The guys in the Broncos said they have never seen a Gladiator perform that well and said I was basically a buggy the way it crawled over everything and even offered to buy it from me.

I love Wolf Caves. The owners are very cool and the traction is unbelievable. Traction is so good that it turns your rig into a superhero and next thing you know you are in a very bad place. 🤔
Fantastic rig you have there.
