    Enjoyed the video, I went down the rock crawling rabbit hole in 1999. It can be very intimidating at first for sure. The problem with the Gladiator is too long of a wheel base and a lousy departure angle because of the bed. I’m not knocking it, it’s the nature of the beast. I’m actually in the market for one and have pretty much decided to get the Mojave because it will take me anywhere I want to go. I have a dedicated crawler that going up for sale as those days are over for me. I have had a blast crawling and have met some great people on the trails. It’s a great sport but very expensive.

  • @FarFromOrdinary

    You aren't lying! It's definitely a lousy departure angle! Of course you can go the bobbed route but that's one hell of an added cost. For sure expensive overall!

  • @FarFromOrdinary
    @FarFromOrdinary5 күн бұрын

    It would! The fence does run across most of the view but there is a spot to the left of the fense, up on a rock, that gives you unobstructed views. Honestly though, being a photographer I would do a sesh at Beacon Heights. The way the mountain drops off , you'll end up with a lot of the hills in the background which would be way better!

    I'm not sure how to interpret this question. If you are asking if there is any rock crawling or dangerous sections in what we did in the San Juans, then the answer is no. The San Juans are a place to go to enjoy your surroundings - and maybe conquer a few steep shelf roads.
