2020 Jeep Gladiator - NeonGladiator

[shockerracing.com]

Ok ok.... so it is always being updated but I haven't posted in while!

The NeonGladiatorJT has the Evo Manufacturing 4.5" Lift Kit completed with King Dual Reservoir Shocks on the Nitto 40" Tires and Teraflex Nomad Wheels. I have not regeared it YET, as I haven't decided which gears to go with. I am torn between 4.88's and 5.13's, it doesn't drive terribly on the 4.10's but I can watch the gas gauge drop as I am driving and it never sees 7th or 8th gear.

I took it offroading at Redbird State Recreation Area in the fall and it performed well, other than being too large for the trails and not fitting between the trees. The extra length of the truck over a Wrangler forced me to have to literally smash it between the trees on the trails and ultimately ended up damaging my drivers side mirror, rear fender flare, taillight, and the side of the bed I did earn multiple Jeep Badges of Honor tho... so theres that!

I recently added a Motor City Aftermark M1 Front Bumper with a Westin Winch, Molle Panel inside the bed, and will be bolting in my spare tire carrier into the bed any day now to give it the Pre-Runner look.

Here is my video from wheeling it at Redbird SRA:


I'll drop some photos below, including a set I did with Jonathan Salmi and ShockerRacing Girl Sarah aka Sen.Cityy before I got the lift installed but was driving around on the 40's:

Also, still need a shoot with Barney.

I will contact you

Honestly, we weren't even sure which trails we were on most of the day. Everything about Redbird kind of sucked. Everything was very poorly marked, I believe we spent most of the time on the green and blue trails in the Challenge area.

Yikes, yeah I wouldn't want to accidentally end up on a challenging trail. Must be designed more for small jeeps, atvs and utvs then.

Yeah, I think a lot of ATV's and Dirt bikes go there. But we went because it had 4 of the official Jeep Badge of Honor Trails.

Well my Colorado doesn't need those so I'm good! I meant to watch the trail video last night but our freezer is on the fritz so I'll watch this weekend.

We would go back, but I would only take the Wrangler this time. Towards the end we found some fun rocks and some other areas to play on. We would also suggest going when it hasn't rained in a while because there was a spot we couldn't get past because the mud was so deep.

Interesting, I would not have expected any of that in Indiana.

Mud too deep or your jeep not capable enough?

One of the guys attempted to go through the mud and we ended up having to winch him out. Another guy tried to go around the mud through some tall swamp grass and we ended up winching him out as well.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Mud is hard.... Good thing you guys were prepared

Prepared = let someone else try it first.

I let the guys with 20 year old Jeep TJ’s go first.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Watched.

Fuck that is so tight. I get you how that wasn't as fun as it should have been.

Definitely would not want that stress!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

If you don’t hit a tree off-road, did you even go off-roading?

 

[SWORN]

Digging it!

Yeah, it’s one thing if I’m climbing shit and make a mistake and damage it, it’s another when I don’t have a choice.

Thanks! I like to build it for show and go! Don’t need to be the best at everything but usable all around.

Typically the TJ guys wheel with no fucks given!

 

[RebelGTP]

Yep, you're right... Absolutely zero fucks given!
