Gladiator appreciation from down under

[ttn333]

Here's a vid from an Ausie that really reminds me of how cool our Jeeps are. After a couple of years of ownership, I've taken quite a few things for granted eventhough I really do enjoy driving it every single time I hop in.

Yes, but don't believe the YouTube videos of people just yanking them off. I tried that and broke half the plastic clips. It's much easier and safer to reach inside the fender with some long-nose pliers and gently squeeze the clips so they pop out of the sheet metal.
Those clips can be expensive to replace.

Here's a vid of the same guy tearing up some 5.38s. They run Glad hard.


Here's what it looks like inside the diff.


Must be fun to be able to tear things up like that and not worry about costs.

RIGHTT??? The WAY he said it.

It seemed he said you could just take it off for an afternoon of wheeling. I was like, did the Aussies get a cool version we didn't????

Yeah, I was wondering the same as you when I first heard it. Then realized, nah, can’t be different fenders than ours. LOL

Once all those plastic fasteners are popped out
can they be replaced with reusable bolts and nuts
or are they blind?

What the hell happened to his steering wheel? It’s on the wrong side.

It's okay, paint this on the door and it will all make sense:

Do the Rubicons in Austraila come with Sport fenders? The hood says Rubicon... but those fenders aren't the high fender that come on Rubicons.

You’re right! I didn’t spot that before. Maybe it’s some camera magic, or a stolen gladiator from Canada. Assembly flaw that they had to correct before delivery to the customer maybe?

Now I’m curious about the Mojave decals down under, do they say Mojave, Sand Runner, or something else like Sand Blaster?
