Iron Man, The Overland Jeep Gladiator Adventure Build
Taking a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport from a bone stock foundation and turning into the ultimate adventure rig was the ultimate vision behind the owner of this truck. In this video we take a close up look of all the work, parts and labor that have carefully gone into building this truck, we'll talk with the oner and find out the why behind each modification and hear some of the future plans. #jeepgladiator

He's 100% right about your content. It's not pretentious in any way, just excellent stories and information . Always a pleasure when you upload a new video. Definitely special.
I appreciate that!
@@TrailRecon agreed, aussie fan here and thoroughly enjoy your videos, thanks mate.
Iyyyyyuuuuyyyyyyy6yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,f
Oqpiioqp I’ll
I like the comment about his safe for "loud things"
When the 392 goes to the Gladiator, I will official be on the list to purchase.
I remember watching Taylor's JK walk around and thinking it couldn't get any better, proven wrong. I have used Taylor and Rebel for most of my build and they are by far, the best shop out there for any Jeep owner. Taylor talks and explains everything like he is your best friend. Brad great video as always and ditto on what Taylor said about your content and your brand. Really love watching your videos.
This guy’s builds are on point
This guys builds are payed for by other Jeep owners
They're all expensive, holy...
Not Practical though .
Yes. You (everyone else), too, can build out your Jeep Gladiator, for the low low price of only, $100,000 dollars. Yippee!!!
@@17fourU : Meh, different strokes for different folks. No reason to be a hater. It's only money & $100K is pocket change for some people, just a rounding error in their bank account. His JK was nice & so is this JT.
This thing is truly an off road monster 🦾😎
I no
Brad... a massively big thanks to the both of you for this walk around. After years of building and wheeling my JK I’ve reached the point where trying to shoehorn 5 days worth of gear and a family of 4 is just too much. This was a tremendous help in helping me come to terms with moving on from the JK to the JT. 🍻
So glad you found some value in this video, I think Taylor did a great job of explaining so many things forks are interested in.
I like his "loud items" safe
I love watching vid's of builds that show what I could build "IF I HAD AN UNLIMITED BUDGET!" Thanks for the vid. I think it's called DREAMING!!
I love Brad’s videos, but never as much as this one. Thank you... first time I’ve commented, and the genuine love for the Jeep and family lifestyle was terrific. Thank you both.
Thank you so much and great to hear you are enjoying the videos!
I came to learn, I’d want my gladiator to be a complete replica of his build!
Me too!
Same!!!!
Lmao
After the Squeeze,,, this is #1 on my list
Same! I’d probably change a few things here and there like a bigger tent like the iKamper 2.0 and maybe a slightly longer roof rack.
Beast of a truck ! You can tell it's owned by a Top Knot though , Bring it over here to Australia it won't look like that for long.
Such a sweet gladiator Very humble guy an very passionate about his builds awesome job 👍👍 as always be safe
Couldn't agree more!

This is the first time I've looked at a Gladiator and considered to buy one damn this set up is perfect.
Thank you for featuring Taylor’s Iron Man JT It’s a beautiful build.
It's a very nicely built jeep, but let's face it, most of us cant afford a build like this. Rebel is a huge proponent of this build.
The rock sliders alone are about $2000. The roof tent is $3500. That over 5k on just two items... imagine the rest of the build.
@@EngineerPrepper Both of those items are optional, you don’t need a tent that nice like they said, same goes for the sliders. you can use a 40$ tent and cheaper sliders. But I know what you mean in terms of costs. Builds like these are still possible with a budget too though
@@bluecow10 Yes your right, I was just pointing out, this particular build.
The guy even modified his voice with twin catback muffler
❤️ THAT JEEP.
What a great video! I just got my Gladiator and this was on point. So many great modes, big and small. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Wow 😲 that’s amazing Gladiator. I agreed with what it been said from the gladiator owner told in the last part of the video, thank you very much for your passion and your job Brad, you are great.
Absolutely beautiful build! Congratulations on the baby! Awesome shout out at the end. I really enjoy your videos Brad. True, honest and exciting! I don't know how anyone can give video a thumbs down..
I love TrailRecon! This my new favorite channel! Keep up the good work Brad!
Nice build Taylor! Rebel is the best!!! And thanks Brand for putting so much time into the best Jeep...and now Ram content out there!
For sure the best Jeep and interview you’ve done. The details helping me plan my own. Great job!
That was such a great show, Brad! Thank you. PBS! Get him a weekly show!
That's a sweet rig. Lots of cool features.
This was an excellent walk through, well done guys. Even though I don't understand many of the components discussed, it's still exciting to learn about what can be done!
I have to concur with his last statement Brad!! Great build btw
Thank you!
Taylor knows his stuff. I have spoke with him and purchased from him in the past. Will already use him and Rebel Offroad for my builds.
Well done! One of the best walk arounds I’ve seen from 2 of the best in the business 💪🏼👍
Your amazing Brad love and look forward to your content every time you post it brightens my day I can’t wait to get a build going if my own you’ve inspired me to get out and explore our beautiful country. Thank you for your service to our country as well. You sir are an amazing person.
Thank you and safe travels on your adventures!
Awesome build Taylor!!! Thanks for bringing him on Brad !!!
I love the attention to detail on this build, wow
Spot on. Sold my built JK and switched to JT. Thanks Brad!
What a beaut! I want one. He really knows how to build a clean and practical Jeep. Great job. This is a proper Jeep
Brad I really enjoy these vehicle “tours”. Lots of ideas and inspiration.
Best build I’ve ever seen very clean and on point.
Love my RO Xplore 1/2 rack. I got to meet Taylor at their shop. Everyone there was awesome and so helpful.
As amazing as this jeep is (and it is!) I loved the off script at the end the best!
humbled by his comments for sure
Now this is a great build! Props to Rebel off-road
I have been watching several videos on the gladiator, but this is the one that I really needed. Thanks for that!
Seriously though! Thank you Brad for making such great videos. You’re on another level when it comes to the creativity and quality of your videos. I’ve learned so much from your videos since buying my first Wrangler a little over a year ago. Thank you for making such informatively great videos!
I appreciate that, truly humbled.
I’ve always despised gladiators for some reason, this truck proved that I need to re-evaluate my opinion on them. Damn that sucker was pretty.
Such an Epic Gladiator! Thanks for the video Brad!
Glad you liked it!
This was an excellent walk through, well done guys. Even though I don't understand many of the components discussed, it's still exciting to learn about what can be done!
Sweet truck! Can’t get enough Trail Recon.
awesome video brad, thankyou for helping all us newbies.
Top notch Jeep build. Love Rebel off road and you smashed this vid out of the ballpark.
Like that Front Bumper and Winch combo setup. The color matched bumper looks really good
I would agree with him. Your content is amazing. I enjoy every single video you post. You content is so enjoyable, especially since a lot of people these days don’t really go anywhere. It’s very nice to view and dream of doing this type of stuff one day. I really enjoyed your last video being in Baja.
This man seen the parts catalog for a gladiator and said YES
This is Great! Thanks guys for the detail
Looks over at my $20 fire extinguisher
😂😂
ha ha mine from a yard sale!
Truck U showed a kit from Baxter Performance for the Gladiator that prevents the engine oil drain back issue. 30 minutes after shut off all the engine oil drains back to the crankcase, even the filter is bone dry. Every start up is a dry start.
Not really a Jeep guy but looking at this build, wow And these two seem like the kind of guys I'd enjoy going camping with as well
Holy crap that table is awesome. I'm going to have to find one for overlanding instead of my camp kitchen one cause that saves so much space!
Great video again. And yes, Thank you Brad, for what you do!!!
Been binge watching your channel. It's awesome adventures Doc. Semper Fi!
What a great build and tour but even better the conversion. Thanks for sharing this content with us.
Thats one of the cleanest and most badass builds I have ever seen
Beautiful Rig!! Absolutely Perfect
Great video. I’m loving all these builds. They are giving me tons of ideas when I get my Jeep gladiator.
One of the best walk arounds yet.
SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AWESOME OVERLANDING JEEP!!! THX BRAD!!!
Another amazing vid Brad! Gave me some ideas for my own Gladiator!
What an awesomel build, given me great ideas. Thankyou
Wow this rig is incredible!!!
Amazing! Really cool looking jeep ;) thanks!
Great content! Awesome builds. Keep it up brother.
Wow, long but so interesting and informative. Rebel Off Road - #1... Awesome Gladiator Build...
47 minutes 🤯🤯 Christmas came early!!! Thank you so much for taking the time and making this video, 1 hell of a rig 💪🤤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I feel like the Gladiator is probably one of the best Overland vehicles because it has the utility of a Jeep combined with utility of a truck
That’s why I looking 👀 at s diesel one
Great looking JT. Come on back to Wyoming anytime (I live in Wyoming)
Merry Tex-Mas. Happy you three are safe and living your dream. "I bless you with peace, love & joy in your lives". Great content.
Really an awesome build. I know its all personal taste but that is the best looking front bumper I have seen.....and the rear isn't too shabby either. Agree with the owner about those round KC lights. Old school look on and old school looking vehicle. Perfect. And agree with the statement at the end.
Great video Brad!!! Keep them coming. I wholeheartedly agree with what he said at the end. I think we all feel the same!!!!
I appreciate that!
Always enjoy your videos I love the adventure I love the history and you get to see things that you can't see that you can't get to them thank you Richie for being Richie
Great video. Favorite jt I’d say and awesome walk around. Thanks
Such a badass Jeep love everything about it
Can’t believe I watched the while video, what an cool build, every thing is very useful.
Great Content! Lots of cool usable things on the JT
I don't give a dang about all those lights and extras.... I just LOVE that suspension!!
TrailRecon, wow..!! awesome video, thank you so much, I love that jeep iron Man, My dream jeep.
Sick build
Very Awesome Jeep, fantastic build. Loved loved this video.. Your All Good People!!!!
Future build for me I love the silver color of jeeps mine is a 2014 fully modified but working on getting a gladiator in the future. Awesome video.
Wish I could get into overlanding. Big rocks have my heart though. Beautiful rig.
Keep trying to talk the wife into letting me get a gladiator. Gonna show her this and try to get her to give in 😉 great video Brad, also happy belated veterans day brother! 😁🤙🏼
Fingers crossed for you and thank you!
Magllua, I bribed my wife to get the overland model by making our first trip to outlet mall with my CC. It worked, now just have to save up for the down payment 😁🛻🛻🛻
I just got a 2021 Gladiator Mojave and it took a while to convince the wife. However it was worth every second. I already added a front bumper.
@@brianmuckey1962 yea, had to let her pick out the color and get leather seats 💺 🥾🪖 she's a queen of course 😁
@@SteveHarwood-pq3fn good to hear.
Great video Brad, I truly appreciate every video you put out. That is an amazing build, besides switching the gears it looks like it will last forever. I was wondering about the spare, was it mounted underneath somehow? Thanks again for another great video.
This is truly the build I would love to do for a JT gladiator. maybe in a few years he'll sell it and I'll just buy this one off him. Rebel off Road seems to have their stuff all together. Definitely checking them out.
For real you did an amazing job I dream of some day having a beast like yours beautifully done.
Great video. Thank you
I should have left my Jeep Compass plain Jane. If I saw this Jeep in the parking lot I would park at the other end of the lot then go to check his Jeep out...awesome mods although well-equipped it's not overly done. The silver paint and those custom seat covers are outstanding. Great video, Brad! Uh, excuse me, I need to go to the store and buy a couple of lottery tickets.
Honestly not a huge fan of the Gladiator, but....This one is amazing, job well done sir !!!
Awesome built…from a true passionate person ❤️ 👍
That's my dream job. Awesome build.
Sweet rig!
Outstanding truck!!!
Nice clean TIG welds by the way on the front bumper!
This thing is a BEAST!
I would love to have something like that. Very awesome build.
