Now you're making me question myself... The thing about Teapot Canyon is that you are truly in the middle of nowhere. If something goes wrong you're 6+ hours away from a service station. On Elephant Hill you can easily hike a few miles and be back at the trailhead where there are always people...

Do you worry about stressing your axles running 37s and rock crawling?

I hope someone takes you up on this. I'm guessing that with 37s on a Gladiator Rubicon you'll be fine. I've always wanted to try exiting through Bobby's Hole, which I've never done. Someone told me that Bobby's Hole can be next to impossible without a winch if it's wet and muddy, but that...

That looks amazing. Are you saying that the JTR Rubicon will not rub with Kumho 37s at full stuff/tilt with the stock suspension?

I don't actually own a Gladiator yet - I'm still driving my Tacoma. I'd be more excited to put down a deposit on a diesel Gladiator Rubicon if I knew it would do fine on Elephant Hill with 35s and a 2-3" lift. I've done Flint Trail and I remember it being much more tame than Elephant Hill. I...

Thanks! I've also done it with a JKU but only on 33s and it was fine. And I've done it with my Tacoma 1st Gen on 33s which was still doable, but not nearly as easy as the JKU. The new Gladiator's wheelbase is a few inches longer than my Tacoma and I'm wondering how easily it will high-center.

I'm curious if anyone here has driven their Gladiator (current version, not one from the 1960s/1970s) over Elephant Hill in the Needles District of Canyonlands. I'd love to know if the longer wheelbase of the Gladiator made it more difficult, and if you were able to squeeze through that super...

Thanks. I'll start a new thread and see if anyone here has taken a new Gladiator over Elephant Hill.

I'm curious if on your Moab adventure you drove Elephant Hill in the Needles District in a Gladiator. I'd love to know if the longer wheelbase of the Gladiator made it more difficult, and if you were able to squeeze through that super narrow section on the way to Devil's Kitchen. Thanks
