Let's see what a stock Gladiator is capable ...

I give you props for tackling that course with stock Bridgestone Duellers. I'm impressed.

Yeah, makes me feel good about the capabilities of my own JTO.
And proves how capable these trucks are in any case.

I love how the Overland in Europe has the Mojave hood!

Some impressions from the trip to Italy.

Damn I really miss trips over there, well at least there is another blue Jeep pickup driving around over there. My Comanche did some traveling there in mid 90s. I had hundreds of hours on videotape traveling around Europe. ? I really enjoyed CZ. cheaper fuel cost than many countries.
I hope you get plenty of photos and video, plus enjoy the trip.

Looks like an amazing adventure. Gladiator is surprisingly capable Offroad isn’t it?

Yes, it absolutly is.

As already mentioned, we didn't take too much pictures. Unfortunately.

But there is one which I definitely want to share.

The Ineos Greandier has to be towed out of the river whereas the Jeep Gladiator Overland is easily passing.

I was scrolling through the pictures thinking the same thing!

I wonder if it’s a legit Mojave hood with the raised cowl too?

I’ve seen some YouTube videos from Europe and all of the Overland trim Gladiators have a hood scope. I can’t tell from any of those videos if the cowl is raised.

In my opinion it is the same as the Mojave hood.

Maybe it has something to do with better cooling which is beneficial for the Diesel versions.
And Diesels are the only version which were officially imported to Europe.

Did you have to use Duck mode? Looks beautiful there.

My wife would puke her guts out within 5 minutes going off road. Hell, last year we visited Maine camping and there were some great winding paved roads. My wife asked me to slow down cause she was getting motion sickness. Meanwhile my son and I looked at each other after I said “ these roads would be great if we had the Supra” and he was in Total agreement.

The Duck Bumper might be the only thing which I would modify ...

My wife, as the navigator, was extremely pleased with the off road capabilities of the Gladiator.
She quoted it as "it is going like a big snake around the corners".

But she was my Co-Pilot for about 10 years on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and was relatively happy when I gave up this hobby. Seems that driving slow better fits to both of us ...

Dramamine is your friend. I keep some in each vehicle. Plus in my travel bag. When we do the "Tail of the Dragon" in the Nismo. I load the wifey up on them.

I'm really jealous of you now. "Nürburgring".....I want to run my Nismo on that.

Funny, as a boat Owner I’m accustomed to keeping Motion Eze on the boat. Never occurs to me to keep some in the car. I need to fix that.

Try this with your wife instead of Dramamine. It works within 5 minutes and you can take it after you start to feel sick and it will bring you back, plus there’s no side effects.

Before I get going. She takes her Dramamine.
When we go on an ocean cruise. She gets the patch behind her ear, Scopolamine.
