Gladiator racing at King of the Hammers (by Savvy Off Road)!

[eternus]

According to Dynatrac website for JL Prorock 60 there are 3 choices.

6th place in the 4600 class, 43rd finisher overall.

Thanks. Damn, that Justin Reece kinda dominated! Cool that the last 3 were within 3 minutes of one another.

Gladiator through Chocolate Thunder

Do you have a link to this video. I just want the chocolate thunder section. I can see it here but I don’t see how I can get a link to the source to share.

Ya any info on that? ‘Aftermarket’?

yep, they were aftermarket on Dana 60s i think.

Yup, they were, along with a few upgrades to the shocks & springs, I believe !? Quadratic has a new short video on the event & the JT build (youtube) or just go to their website .

Really? I tried the links last night, maybe the video host is having issues.

The videos won't play if you have Google Chrome's AdBlock turned on. Turned it off, and they all played.

Thanks for the videos! They were fun to watch. And painful to see where those lockers would've really come in handy

Why was this Gladiator running aftermarket lockers? When you order a Rubicon with lockers from Jeep, aren’t they good enough?

Thy put Dana 60 axles on it I believe. Had to have new lockers. I wish the just ran it with the 44s and stock lockers, that would be a testiment to the gladiators toughness if it finished the race then.

They would have had more problems than just the lockers had they stuck with factory axles.

Probably, but I wanna see how long before it broke.

I bet Jeep wouldn't want that image out there. Jeep Gladiator runs KOTH and make it 40 feet into the rocks before it breaks down and needs a Toyota to pull it back home

Never happen. You have to get that far back in there, in order to help a friend

Still waiting to hear exactly what lockers they were & how they failed.. :tappingfoot:
