VIDEO : Our Brand New Jeep Gladiator - Close Up Look & First Impressions

Congrats guys, better late than never! Can’t wait to see where you take this one.

As always, great video!


2015 JKUR AEV JK350
1985 CJ8 Scrambler
 
Really excited to see what your plan for it is!

Think BIG! And a little different :yup:

Eddie, those Mormon crickets are crazy! Drove home from Vegas through Winnemucca a couple weeks ago. I thought they were leaves blowing across the ground at first. When I got out and looked, it freaked me out to see what they actually were. Ground seriously looked like it was moving. Thought they were locusts at first...thought Nevada was getting plagued.

Great video and awesome pictures. JT is growing on me!

EDIT: have you decided what you are going to do with the spare? Are most guys removing them entirely?

LOL - man, I hate those things! Really hard to clean off too :icon_crazy:

The JT will grow on you even more if you see one in persona and on 40's.

As far as the spare goes, most likely carry it on an EVO bumper/tire-carrier :yup:

Are you able to change the batteries in the Bluetooth speaker or when it dies is it toast?

I don't know for sure but I have a feeling it might be a one and one thing. Or, if you can change the battery, it's something you have to get from the dealership or something.

Awesome video! Congrats!

Thank you :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!
Absolutely love it. That’s the one!!
Can’t wait to see the evolution.

I'm telling you - you need one of these :yup:

Awesome pics, going to que of the video here soon. Super excited for you guys and looking fwd to seeing the transformation!

Thanks Ben. :cool:

Congratulations on brand new JT. This thing is awesome and maybe it is corny and obvious but you can call it “Maximus”
Can’t wait to see first upgrade [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Thank you and we do like the name. We just figure that everyone and their mother will be calling theirs that.

Glad to see you finally get one.

Someone will luck out with your LE in a month or so.

The Mormon Crickets bring back memories. We used to get them in NW Colorado where I grew up. They will make the road slick and cause accidents. They pile up in the lanes, because they eat their own dead and leave nothing behind.
They also eat everything in their path. They will even eat the siding off of your house. Those bad mothers are no joke, just like a plague.

Actually, the Rubicon we bought belonged to a guy who will be taking our LE so it all worked out.

As far as the Mormon Crickets go, they are just plain nasty! :icon_crazy:

Congrats on the Gladiator. Looking forward to seeing what you do with a “truck”. Enjoy.

Thank you and we're looking forward to begin the build! :yup:

Very nice. 😎 Congrats on finally getting your hands on a JT to call your own. 🍻

Thank you. There were times when we thought this day would never come :crazyeyes:

Looks Great! The more I see these.. the more I want one. Maybe the 500lb extra curb is what you are feeling with the performance? Great Video!.... the cheering section was pretty damn funny.

My first name idea is simply MAX. Its the Max amount of Jeep you can buy, with the Max payload, the Max towing and it's also short for Maximus.

That's more than likely it.

As far as names go, I really do like MAX and love your reasons for it, I just think that everyone will be calling their Gladiators Max.
 
I vote for the name Pegasus

That's more of a winged horse than a unicorn but it is still a mythical creature and could definitely work. :yup:

This must be a prank? First look and close ups of the Jeep truck and you didn’t even drop the tailgate? Just sayin......

:doh:

Looks great. Congrats!

Thank you :)

So awesome! I’m jealous and want one! Excited for you guys! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this build. I’d name him Spartacus.

That's another great name for sure. I just figure all the really obvious names will be ones that everyone uses. But then, whatever, right? :crazyeyes:

Congrats! I like how they look... But I just can't give up that paid off feeling. [emoji16] Looks like it's going to be an amazing addition to the Family. [emoji106]

LOL - I hear ya. Thank you.

Congrats![emoji324] Name it Charlie!! “Candy mountain, Charlie”

Love ya Eddie!

LOL - I guess I'll a little out of the loop on that one. Sorry :crazyeyes:

Cool video. Are you going to bedline it? Neat that it has a 110 outlet in the bed. Good idea!

Yeah, will most likely have that done sooner than later. :yup:

Great looking Jeep Truck! I’m glad to see that you two finally got it back to camp. Everest might be a fitting name...allusive, but if you have enough money and definitely in your case, determination, it can be yours. Congratulations!

Thank you and thanks for the great suggestion :thumb:

Good for you guys!

Thank you :)

Congratulations! As usual an entertaining video and bonus pix!

Thank you and glad you enjoyed everything :)

I’d stick with Unicorn for the name.

LOL - that was more of a description than anything but I could see how it could just be a name too :crazyeyes:

So awesome. Safe to assume some hand me down parts from Jet might be going on the JT for the short term?

At least in the short term, yes. :yup:

Name it Squat after....well...

:shock: WTF?? :cheesy:

Sweet! Finally! I’m happy for you.

Thank you, it's been a long time coming for sure!
 
Great job on the video! I really respect your honest opinion. Although it’s not in the cards for me to get a JL or JT, I was smiling and happy for you both through the video! I absolutely loved the welcome from the rest of the Wayalife stable, with horns honking and lights flashing!!!

Maybe it’s cheesy, but I’m thinking Gladys the Gladiator.

Than you and I'm glad that you could appreciate my honest opinion. I've had some people say that I seemed regretful and and nothing good to say. And really, nothing could be further from the truth. Praising the Gladiator is super easy - I mean, it's a Wrangler with a pickup bed, what's not to love. Nit picking it was hard to do but felt that I needed to be as honest as possible.

Glad you enjoyed the welcome and Gladys is a good name. :yup:

Outstanding! I still see "The Spaniard" Bronze colored beadlock rings, true Roman Gladiator Badass! Congrats Guys!

HAPPYTRAILS

Thank you and I like the name idea. :cool:

Congrats. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. I think the name should be “Justin Time” because I feel you guys got him after a ridiculously long wait, and not even the one you wanted.

LOL!! I know, that really is a fitting name in a lot of different ways.

Great video. It’s nice to hear someone be honest about some of the things that could have been done better.

Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if I should have just kept quite and tell fans what they wanted to hear. :crazyeyes:

Fun video to share. I’d like to know what Cindy thinks too. [emoji6] Looking forward to all the things you have in store. I hear there’s a company down in SoCal already doing some cool lifts. Lol.

LOL - already ordering parts and scheduling time :thumb:

Good video, I liked the welcome committee effects :thumb:

you should call it "The 109"

LOL - glad to hear you enjoyed the fun we had with this video.

As far as 109 goes, I hadn't thought about it but it does have a nice ring to it :crazyeyes:

Looks great! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Are those rock rails behind the rear tires?

As a matter of fact, they are :yup:

Great video and congratulations !
109 days! Thats almost as long as I waited for my JLUR!! :clap2: I ordered it in Mojito in December. When I chased the stealer in January he found that because they dropped that colour for the UK, the factory cancelled my order! they just didn't bother telling the dealer.... so in January I ordered a Punk'n which I now have, but had to wait until April !! great jeep though :thumb:

Thank you and sucks that you had to wait so long for your JL.

Congratulations! Really excited to follow you guys building it up :)

Thank you and we hope to bring coverage of it soon. :yup:

Congrats! Great video!

Sooooo is it on 40’s, Dana 60’s, and a 6” evo lift yet?

Oh my, seems that you're clairvoyant :shock: :crazyeyes: :D
 
Congrats guys, better late than never! Can’t wait to see where you take this one.

As always, great video!

Thank you and yes, better late than never especially when never was starting to look like the reality of things.

Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Just watched the video, congratulations on the new addition to the stable!

Thank you :)

Great video guys, can’t wait for the JT-journal and all the videos to follow. Time to start bolting on some of Jet’s hand me downs haha

Thank you and yes, some hand me downs may be in order. :yup:

Nicely done! Loved the welcome home from the other Jeeps :D

LOL - I know it was silly but we had fun doing it. Glad you enjoyed it too :)

Congrats to you guys! Nice coverage of initial impressions on the JT. Looking forward to the build.

Thank you :)

Glad it’s safe and sound back in Carson City...

Are We Not Entertained?...

:cheesy: Perfect :)

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] My name is Gladiator

LOL

That is my favorite RockStar LOL
Congrats!
:beer:

Thanks Matt :thumb:

Very nice you guys! It looks great!

Thank you, we appreciate it :)

Congrats! Can't wait to see what you have in store for it!

Are you going to keep the JL?

Oh yeah, the JL ain't going anywhere but up. Hoping to get it up on 40's sooner than later. :yup:
 
Really cool........apparently we will be getting the V-6 Turbo version!! Call it "SPARTACUS":blush:
 
Congrats on your Juck! I don’t think I said that yet. I can see how excited you were picking it up. Been awhile since I’ve had that rush so it was cool living vicariously through you. Thanks for the video and the honest first impressions.
