Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It's Rig Rundown time!
You've all been patiently waiting and now it's FINALLY time to reveal the Jeep Gladiator in it's final form!
If you've missed the earlier episodes of this build make sure you go back and check them out.
THE JEEP BUILD PLAYLIST: • THE JEEP BUILD
We've taken this Gladiator to town! Swapping out the stock drivetrain for DYNATRAC 60s, 40 inch tyres and a 4 inch lift. And not to mention the 6.4L supercharged HEMI under the hood!
...and then I blew it up.
In this episode, Justin takes us on a full rundown of all the modifications we've made to get the Gladiator to get it to the point where it can finally take on Christian's GU Patrol.
Put it in the comments 👇 can the Jeep Gladiator out-wheel the GU Patrol?
All will be revealed next week!

I thought I was the only one agahahah. Hi from New Zealand
Bloody oath about time someone in the industry said that the canopy side of things is going way out of control. Have your rig built for the tracks and a camper trailer on the back 👏🏼
So happy to see guys like you getting into Jeeps and showing how good they really are. Steve 🇦🇺
Glad you like the Kraken Tire Inflation System Justin! Cheers from Canada and the team at EPIC!
I actually like the fenders. The wide flat steel fenders are a throwback to the WWII Power Wagons.
@Patriot Games Hello from the USA! Your JT turned out amazing, and I really like the way the fenders turned out. Having full coverage will keep all the rocks and mud from spinning tires from wrecking your JT's paint and body.

Big difference in aus is fenders must be fully covering the wheels by law, but yes hes deff done it good lookin
Ok! Now I really bloody jealous. That is a true testament to you and your team it really is And I’m a big Jeep fan and own one myself and when I build my funds up for my Jeep build I would absolutely love to hit you up about helping build mine as it will also help set the pace for the Jeep community in Australia! But we’ll done on such an amazing build 🤙🏼
Justin/Patriot re: The commment about Jeeps in Australia - yup, but its slowly changing. Actually went to a launch event for a group down here in Adelaide now producing Touring Gear for Jeeps called JKSM Offroad. Add to the Australian Made items on the Jeep! :)
Its looking great Justin. I do think you should chat with the guys at Epic about your suspension. With solid axles you need the articulation. Tera Flex is a much better option and a much better set of shocks like Bilstein. Their mounting brackets and parts will hold up to your climate much better considering you play in the sand and salt.
❤❤❤❤ this build, totally awesome Justin!!! Can't wait for the video of you guys wheeling in Glassy. Bit of a shame you didn't have it at Jeep Jamboree 2023 up at Woodford 😢
It's about time someone goes to America and brings back the rock crawling aspect to 4 wheel driving. 👍
Very cool build, glad to see some people pushing the limits of ADR's
Sounds like it needs a surge tank so it can never lean out. Absolute weapon !
This is probably the best gladiator build I've ever seen. Props for the USA!!
That's a beauty. Easy on the eyes.
i went from a gq patrol to a jk wrangler and i've gotta say they're definitely an under rated 4wd in this country. sure they have their issues but what car doesn't. time to show everyone what these rigs can do
Holy fuck what a weapon. Super impressed to get it engineered on 40s as well. Another game changing build once again. Awesome job Justin and the patriot team.
Absolutely awsome build. Beast Mode Jeep
You can get an add on for the kraken that has an app where you can set the compressor to stop at a set psi.
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I love how you push every boundary of every aspect with the build that’s you do, super excited to see this on the tracks! Leading the industry with unique builds. 😊
I think it’s a really cool vehicle and if you’ve managed to get it engineered and legal in Australia on 40s that’s truely awesome.

@@PatriotGames For a non extreme tread pattern tyre like a Yokohama X-MT or even a Maxxis Mud Trep, I would chose a Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT.
Nice Rig! Even has drinks tables at the front, great location....
I'm in love with this thing. 😍 I'm new to a 4wd as of 7 months ago and watching the cool sh!t you lot do inspired me cheers legend 👍
Very very nice Justin. I can tell we Jeep owners in the States have been a very good influence on you and this build.
That is an awesome Gladiator! Really like the stance and the tray ( I really like the old wheels ) I can imagine how this thing drives. Congratulations on another over the top build!
Such a wicked build! 🔥🔥
Hi Justin and Patriot Crew, great build and I've been waiting for this episode. Should bring it up to the Cairns area. Could do the CREB Track and I'll lead the way with my Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 Hemi in it. Great video.
this thing is insane! Absolutely love it! Not a jeep guy myself but this is BEAUTIFUL
You honestly make me work harder to have toys... I love what you and your family do and can't wait to achieve what you have! Cheers for sharing the coolest fkn shit man appreciate it
That thing is wicked cool, good job on the build.
Awesome, biuld. You should look at Metalcloak for fenders. They have a set for the JK Wrangler model that are 2 parts. So you can run full tire coverage and then remove them for offloading. But the JL and gladiator one aren't 2 pieces. But the stock JL/gladiator front fenders will fit on a JK Wrangler. Just something to think about.
Awesome build. I'm really jealous of the clearance on the tow bar in the back - the one problem I still need to resolve on mine.

Love the gladiator!
Absolutely love the build, hope to get my jeep to that sort of level one day.
I really love the build. Bad ass. I also like the full width front fenders. Have never seen them like that. But very awesome. Can’t wait till the off road videos.
For tires I reckon go Patagonias or nitttos. I look at those American Jeeps and those are the tires that stand out
Yet another great build from Team Patriot 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Stunning beast
Wow Justin you’re Jeep has turned out very sick and I’m sure it’s going to turn heads driving down the road. Only thing wish you could do is have your wheels sticking out like America but unfortunately Australia has different rules. But hey you have got those guards looking good. And one hell of a sick costume tray . So looking forward to seeing you and your son out there wheeling in the next episode
Look forward to see the red rig on the reds..... Mint build mate 👌
Yeah that’s sick loving everything on it 👌.
I took my mostly stock '76 Toyota FJ40 on the Rubicon Trail and made it. Mods were ARB air lockers, BFG KM3 33's, ARB front bumper (the Aussie look, which isn't good for rock crawling, but solid), Warn winch. Toyota's are awesome. But after finishing the Rubicon Trail with no power steering and 4 speed manual, I bought a Jeep JLUR now with 37's and Metal Cloak lift. So I'm a fan of Toyo's and Jeeps. But not IFS. Let's go!
Trip to the glasshouse mountains
Can't wait to see it on the tracks,do a series with it on the hardest trails in every state
Looks awesome Justin 👍💪🏻 Beast
Get yourself the Bestop Sunrider to replace the freedom roof panels, I've got one on my JL, it's awesome.
stoked for next week 💪
Hey Justin, Brown Davis manufacter tanks for the JT which may increase fuel capacity and probably could fix your fuel pick-up issues.
100% agree with tralier plug..ripped mine out on the gladiator only a month ago. pain in the ass.
Simply great
Man I have been waiting for this!!!!
So good mate congrats
This is a fantastic build. There isn't much I could improve upon it. However, I do have a suggestion. You need to check out the rock sliders from Rock Slide Engineering. You mentioned steps from Amp Research, but they aren't good for a real off road rig. Enter RSE! They have drop down steps on serious rock sliders. I have a set on my 21 Rubicon Unlimited because I am also "vertically challenged". I don't think you can do better than a drop down step integrated into legitimate rock sliders.
Tube doors brother , thank you for not being the ban wagon of hating Jeeps and mopar vehicles
Awesome epik beautiful build
Looks absolute sick! 🤯🤤
Now I'd like to a see a big family trip in this line up! Justin : Jeep Gladiator Mom : Dodge RAM1500 Ashton : FJ49 Christian : GU Patrol Mia : Broncho....Maybe..? heh!

Farrrrrk I love y’all ! Thank you for doing a Jeep
Mate, you must be runnin a special forces security team to guard all of your awesome toys!!😜
A total beast! Cheers!!
Your a very good speaker you should do commercials and good explaining all your videos.
love it looks awsome well done patriot
Such a sick build!! Putting in an aux fuel tank?? Want a set of the Molle panels for the roof for my JTR have been looking for that kind of thing for over 12months....thanks for the tip on where to source them 👌🤙
I’ve always thought you Aussies built bad ass shit especially in the overland expedition area. Great looking stuff gentleman, love the bed.
More info on the engineering and rego process would be brilliant. Is it still registered to drive on a car license or do you need light to medium truck. Also anything on GVM upgrade. . Looks brilliant but you need different tyres. The BF’s just don’t sit this one in th 40’s . They look,Ike allterrains.
Kedo TREMENDO!!! FELICITACIONES!! SIEMPRE LOS SIGO DESDE ARGENTINA PATAGONIA!!!! ✌🏻👽
You've sold me
Glasshouse Mountains is only 2h from Jeep HQ if you fly 🚁 over the traffic.
Glasshouse powerline track isnt hard to distinguish
First comment I love you guys you guys are my inspiration to life. Really great video. Can’t wait to see more videos from you guys. You guys are the best people on KZread. Can’t wait to be like you guys one-day.
That's one BaDaSS Gladiator.🤩🤩
By thelooks if it your going to glass house mountain and driving big red Cool build basically the house loan o wheels
Awesome car!!
i literally just bought a rubicon from springwood jeep because of this series. they owe u
You have a lot of money in this so assuming you want the fuel issue fixed if low tank is the problem. Try a holy hydramat in the tank.
Blew that motor fast!
AWESOME TOY AS PRE PATRIOT CAMPERS NORMALLY DOES !!!! ❤❤❤
Stock front fenders look better due to the width. Awsome Jeep build 👍
What an absolute Beast you have built there. I have nothing but admiration for you lot. In what you build same as your Boys j u 😊😊😊
Wow what a build, love it. I'm curious have you seen the Icon Innerlock Rebound wheels? They are full time bead locked and road legal.
Epic build mate, love watching the progress on this beast. Completely off topic but what watch are you wearing mate? Cheers
I wonder what it would be like with 5.9 Cummins in that jeep? Awesome video❤
Love what your saying
awesomeness, what about a long range fuel tank as the range with stock tank must suck, takin note of the hemi and the 40s'?
That Kraken tire inflation system is Epic!😂 Those silly Canadians know their Jeep world and do amazing things. You should hit them up for a trip next time you’re in North America.
Our FCC here in the states dictates what radio frequencies and power levels that we can use. I will take unlimited tire sizes and mods over your radios any day though!
I want this thing so bad!
Looking forward to new results
Awesome Jeep guys! Have you guys looked at the 74Weld portal axles? Would they count as a lift?
Any info on how you guys got the 40's legal? Truck looks epic.

@@randomstuffwithbigaz7109if it did pass, It would be expensive (full test track rental etc). A lot of engineering is possible, just the cost can be ridiculous. So only big manufacturers can bother, with intent to sell the solution to the public afterwards.

I'm ok with that mate. Never seen anything get engineered with 40's in qld before so i'd be very ok with them making some money from it. Just would like to hear them mention it is all. :) @@akar2755
I have to ask, what have ya done to strengthen up/brace the Sector Shaft to cope with the 40's???
We need more information on the communication radio, plz.
looks good, did you guys stop making pcor trays?
What lights did you use to convert the Fog lights to Headlights? And was that a custom wiring job or is there a kit available? Beautiful job!
Looking forward to seen it action take it easy that’s a lot of ponies under the hood easy to break it .
Im interested to know weights, with the new axles did the Jeep get a GVM upgrade? What does she weigh dry? How much can she carry?
Question does that compressor setup have a cut-off switch when you’ve hit your nominated pressure
Are all your sensors still hooked up to the factory off road page like oil pressure ect
Nice looks good. You should maybe get a mahindra pick up dual cab and do a review on it ??
