  1. Aussie Jeep Gladiator on the trails in South East Queensland

    Thanks mate! I unlocked the front right after I made the initial climb up the bank so that I could manoeuvre easier to keep the truck wedged in the V. I could have relocked it to climb that root but figured the BLD would do its jobā€¦ which it did! šŸ˜
  2. Aussie Jeep Gladiator on the trails in South East Queensland

    Yeah, the 4wd247 crew did a video recently that included that track (as well as others in the Glasshouse Mountains that Iā€™ve done in my Gladiator). They made it look a lot harder than it needed to be, but I guess thatā€™s what gets the clicks on YouTube. šŸ˜
  3. Aussie Jeep Gladiator on the trails in South East Queensland

    Thanks! I love the Gator color. As soon as I saw it I had to have it, especially with the color matched fenders and roof. šŸ˜Ž The hood and vents are unique to Australia and Europe/UK export models. Itā€™s the same hood Jeep used on the Wayout concept Gladiator. Itā€™s steel instead of aluminum and has...
  4. Aussie Jeep Gladiator on the trails in South East Queensland

    Hi all, here's a short video of me in my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon doing the gatekeeper challenge for one of the harder tracks in our area, called Palm Tree. Lots of clay and slick surfaces in this area that can turn tracks like this from challenging to impossible, but was mostly dry this day. As...
  5. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    When youā€˜re ready to get a lift give the guys at Solve Off Road a call in Sydney https://www.solveoffroad.com.au/ They have some great options, including a legal 3ā€ lift with 35s (probably a bit pricy compared to their 2ā€ lift packages). I have a friend running their lift and heā€™s really...
  6. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    Where are you located mate? There are a few good Jeep specialists in each capital city, and a number of good parts suppliers. Depending on what shocks you want you should be able to get a pretty good 2-3ā€ lift kit installed for a fair bit less than $8k. I agree with you on the restrictions we...
  7. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    Opposite side of the engine bay, because of course the brake booster and steering mechanism are where the batteries are on the US trucks.
  8. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    The Gladiator isnā€™t overly popular compared to other trucks (ā€œutesā€ as they are referred to down here) available in Australia. The Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger dominate the Ute market, and Jeep hasnā€™t done itself any favours with its pricing strategy for the JT and JL (priced as premium...
  9. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    Yeah, that would be awesome! Unfortunately Jeep couldnā€™t get the diesel to work with the right hand drive, so our only option is the 3.6. Having said that, a few Gladiators have made it across the Simpson Desert already, and Iā€™ll be tackling that trip next August (3-4 days to cross, no fuel...
  10. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    No, all Gladiators have the same two piece freedom panel as the US trucks.
  11. Gladiator appreciation from down under

    Good spot! Yes, the Rubicons (and all other Gladiator and Wrangler trims) come with a slightly wider version of the Max Tow fenders (high-line fenders not available). Something to do with tire coverage laws down here and in the EU. Another difference is the hood which is the same as the WayOut...
  12. Teraflex Suspension for RHD JT

    Looks like Quadratec has them in stock too. https://www.quadratec.com/p/teraflex/falcon-sp2-3.3-fast-adjust-piggyback-shocks-gladiator-jt/ecodiesel-2-3-inch-lift-14-02-33-400-152
  13. Teraflex Suspension for RHD JT

    Have a look at this page: https://www.falconshocks.com/copy-of-jl-wrangler-unlimited This page lists all the shock choices for the Gladiator, and each has an option for the JT Ecodiesel. Those are the ones you want, not the Wrangler shocks. The Ecodiesel shocks do fit the petrol versions as...
  14. Teraflex Suspension for RHD JT

    Yeah, the regular 3.3s hit the auxiliary battery box on the RHD Gladiators and JL Wranglersā€¦ ask me how I know! Lucky for you Falcon now has the diesel version that doesnā€™t hit the box. The reservoir is a lot shorter on the diesel shocks than the regular version. If you go with the regular...
  15. If you could pick the hood, standard Sport style, Rubicon or Mojave?

    Just for something different, how about the export Rubicon hood (this is my Australian 2020 Rubicon). Itā€™s steel instead of aluminium, different vents than the US Rubicon and the bulge is kind of profiled like the Mojave, but not quite as high and no inlet scoop. :like:
  16. 4 HI Auto (Selec-Trac) available on Rubicon trim?

    Yep, thatā€™s the option youā€™re looking for.
  17. (delete if possible) ignore this

    You can run 35s with no lift, but youā€™ll rub at full lock and the ducks will abandon you regardless of where theyā€˜re placed.
  18. Xtreme Recon Fender Extension Instsalled

    Doesnā€™t that defeat the purpose, being to reduce flicking up rocks and mud behind you when youā€™re running tires poking outside of the stock flares? I donā€™t see the rational for mounting them in reverse as they donā€™t really serve a functional purpose then, and it looks kinds funny if you ask me. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
  19. Anyone installed Xtreme Recon Fenders on JT?

    I got the regular kit with two front and two rear. Iā€™m not a big fan of how the fronts look when adapted to the rear fenders, but I donā€™t see why you couldnā€™t make them work on our fenders with a bit of trimming. Thereā€™s a few good write ups and pics on this thread...
  20. Anyone installed Xtreme Recon Fenders on JT?

    They do fit with a bit of work! See my post above re install on my Aussie Rubicon with the Euro fenders.:like:
