Gladiators apparently keeping up with all the rest on trail.....

Query -
Do you mean in person
or
Do you mean you can't see the videos?

I have seen the Jeeps, I have seen the trails, but unfortunately, I have not, in person, seen the Jeeps on the trails as shown in the videos.
The Jeeps are all over Jerusalem and Palestine (Bethlehem), many of them have their club stickers on them. ........ and the trails, talk about square miles of rock and rough mountains and sand and desert.



It's got to be YT's auto/bot nannies because there's no violence, sex, etc. and most of the Jeeps aren't even naked.
Maybe it's a "don't try this at home" thing? Dunno.

I meant that the vids were not showing for me on this thread.

I like the foam pad. Don’t wanna scratch it LOL

I get your post, and yeah, I thought that interesting.
However, having been there, seen the vehicles on the street, parked, the lack of shops and garages, and actually asking a long-time resident of the area among others - this MAY explain the ginger care they get:

ALL cars and trucks are imported, nothing is made domestically. You think WE wait and get impatient over 4 or 8 weeks? Imagine waiting months because they have to be shipped and trust me, customs getting anything in or out is crazy. I thought we weren't going to be allowed back out of the country because we stayed in a hotel in Bethlehem - technically, Palestine.
So you finally get a Jeep - you take care of it. IF you break it, there are no Jeep dealers sitting just 20 miles apart with stocked parts department. Likely these people rely on each other for spare parts kept in their lower level or shed out back.
I've seen some of the repair shops in the areas outside of Tel Aviv. Likely far safer than walking the south side of Chicago at night but the resemblance is there. (I felt absolutely safe walking around town at midnight or 1 am looking for some local brews)
Anyway, we have well-stocked places in the states, catalog order places, dealerships and so on, and we only wait for some parts. They wait for everything they don't stash as spares. Again, Tel Aviv may be different as it's more of an urban center like we see.

So I'm guessing, but it may explain some of what you see in their videos compared to ours, here.

But aside from the pad, I've thought that guy awful gutsy or brave as some of those were are pretty severe angles and the guy holding the pad was not on solid ground at all times. Yikes! Don't slip, bud - you'll make his path up slippery!

I have my own youtube channel. When you publish a video. YT will ask a question about age requirement. It's easy to select the wrong answer. I've done it. When you do. Your video's will appear like what ShadowsPapa posted. And I bet that's what happened to those video's.

Palestine is beautiful

I own both a built Wrangler and built JT. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The Wrangler is still king on the trails but not by a large margin.

It's interesting/encouraging to see so many on stock wheels and rubber.
