Should have painted it pumpkin and put a 01 on the door.

Waylon Jennings singing the Dukes of Hazzard would have been a better theme song.

Especially for the warehouse jump and dirt road burnouts.

A little disappointed that it didn’t drag the deuce and a half rather than burn the tires in low range.

We've got so many different things planned, you'll see. We are not scared to do some epic stuff, thats for sure. Thanks for the feedback, initially the Deuce wasn't parked completely and it did lunge forward LOL

We towed nearly 8,000 pounds from Detroit to Panama City Beach and back, 2,400 miles, less than 4 days.

What the crap is wrong with you people? Why would you jump a brand new stock Gladiator from a loading dock? Oh well, this should be entertaining...and it’s your money.
We actually did that twice, and we will do MORE CRAZY STUFF. We aren't scared to see what its capable of!

Awesome. I look forward to seeing what you guys do. I watched your pilot video the other night and subbed for the shenanigans. I like the idea of progressively larger tires/mods.
Thanks for the support, we've been working on this for a long time and finally editing a lot of content, we've done some insane tests and have had SO MUCH FUN.

Right on, I'm glad someone is finding this things limits!
Thanks, it’s been a blast and we have SO MUCH MORE in the works. This is a BUILD SERIES, so it’ll be stages, 35’s, 37’s, 39’s etc

Gonna do some tests against FrankenBrute as well...

man they are never going to let you rent another gladiator.
Definitely not a rental, but I did get an UBER license for fun, only gave one person a ride for fun. Had some crazy ideas to do as an UBER.

We towed 8,000 pounds (tow weight) plus 3 adult men in the truck, and a racing lawnmower in the back, 2,400 miles in less than 4 days, from Detroit to Panama City Beach and back, averaging 10.5 MPG, overall it did well. But could definitely use more power.

Following. Really want to know the limits of the stock drivetrain with 40s. You are providing a great service to the community!

Cheers
Thanks, it’s been a lot of fun, and yes we will cover 39’s and 40’s or 42’s sometime next year most likely. Right now we have 35’s and 37’s (BFG’s) just waiting on wheels.

Greg Henderson (Unofficial Use Only) is extremely knowledgeable and will be conducting most if the tests, I have very little knowledge, BUT GREAT IDEAS of how to have fun and provide lots of entertainment and education.

Thanks again, have a great day!

Following. I want to see long term reliability with 37's and steering/axle strength.

I read that the front JL/JT axle is a three piece design that is significantly weaker than the JK design?
