What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[WILDHOBO]

Out of the four of you, what is the mildest build? As in smallest lift and tires?
Just wondering about what it would take to do Fins with a Gladiator. How would a stock Rubicon Diesel do?

I did it with @Offroadnewbie 2 years ago. His was a bone stock Willy’s with a roof top tent. His driving is amazing, but he killed it without a scratch. He also did poison spider and top of the world the same year. You can do an amazing amount out here if you choose the right lines, have a good spotter, and take your time. A stock rubicon can definitely do fins and hells revenge.

I realized I forgot to answer your question. Out of us this time, @Mightytalldude has the mildest build with a sport 6 speed, 2” spacer lift, rubicon takeoff springs and shocks, and a winch. He made it look easy.

Thanks, last time I was there was with my stock JLURD, now the wife's. We messed around a little but not on named trails. Mostly I spent time with my boys on our motorcycles.
By next trip down there, it's a good chance I'll have 35s and a small 1.5ish lift on the JTRD. But Fins and Baby Lion's Back are definitely on my bucket list.

@Jems007 took us on baby lions back today. I hadn’t don’t it previously. Very cool.

Just goes to show how forgiving these gladiators are with the long wheelbase. Going up Hells Gate—You’re supposed to be high on passenger side but I certainly took it a little too high. Gladiator handled it well!

On the way out of Moab, went to Moab Motorsports and met Rory. Very nice down to earth guy. Enjoyed the conversation. Bought shirts for the kids…and me.

I'm glad to hear this. One reason I like his YouTube so much is that he doesn't put on that YouTube persona that so many others do.

Agreed.

Little yard work before the next snow storm.

Some light wheeling in Reno. Was looking for Delores Trail, but ended up exploring a bit while searching. The trail itself was a bit worse than expected - I think some boulders at the start got shifted a bit. Decided to just enjoy the other random trails.

some pretty decent rock gardens to crawl through. Stock rubicon JLU came with us. A lot of bypasses.
The V Notch is pretty spectacular, somebody showed me this video AFTER I went through?

I met him when he came to fix my TJ on hells revenge. Great guy. Went above and beyond for me. Bought some swag from him and even went back and gave him and his guys $60 for lunch.
