What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[WILDHOBO]

Still working on the cabin so the JT is relegated to desert work truck status. Insulated the 1st floor walls, finished the electrical, and got the beadboard paneling done. Still need to do the loft, trim, and paint. Building a remote off grid cabin 600 miles from home is time consuming but worth every second.

Amazing.

Brought my new Honda Africa Twin Standard home from Cocoa. Aired the tires properly and a nice 50 mile trip down the Beachline home.

Wowzers, that's a lot of bike back there. Out of curiosity, which carrier is that?

Just an FYI...
I've carried my CRF450RL on an Add-a-Bike one behind my Gladiator. My son followed me for a few miles. He said it was nearly impossible to see my brake lights.
I figured I'd add a set of lights to it and run them off the trailer plug.

Was blessed to take a nice bear! Nothing like a Gladiator for a hunting rig!!!

Wow!

I always dreamed of a bear hunt and even bought a Marlin .45-70. Other than a few fun range trips, it sat in the safe for years as I never made the trip. I sold it to a guy and within weeks of buying it, he took it to Maine and took a nice big black bear. I was super happy for him. His wasn´t as big as that one, though!

Where did you do the hunt?

I have a Mototote bike carrier that held my KTM 690 on winter trips of 3,000+ miles on the back of my JK, and has to add a couple of strip lights on the back of the carrier for folks to see my lights. Just plugs into the 4 prong trailer plug.

With the Gladiator, the Mototote is unlikely to see much use in the future…

1st (most likely only) time using carrier with Glad - I use it with my Sprinter with no visibility issues. All aside, I'm going to look at Aluma MC10 motorcycle trailers this week.

Googled that trailer, pretty good looking.
I'd be curious/worried about the speed rating of the 13" wheel/tire setup. My father in law had a small utility trailer with 13s and they were rated for 55mph max.
Just something to think about.

Thanks for the help?

Ran a couple of trails north of the GTA out near Minden, ON. We scouted a third, but the 180’ assent on a series of gnarly rock faces that I knew the stock gladiator wouldn’t make deterred us this trip. Once the bigger tires and lift are acquired I’ll be back for that one.

I hunt in Wisconsin. This one was taken just over a half hour from my home. I am thankful for a lot of things... Being able to hunt close to home, health to do it and time as well...

I’m not a motorcycle person, but I simply love trailers, and towing. That’s a very pretty trailer.

 

[WILDHOBO]

Speaking of towing, if anyone is between CO and San Jose and wants to say hi, I’m doing a round trip starting next Thursday to pickup the project Willy’s. I rented an aluminum car hauler to make it doable. But I’m still going to take my time with a 1,200+ mile haul back. It will be easy on the way there though.

You don't know what your missing.
