    Whats the best part of owning a Jeep???
    Taking the top and doors off of course!!!
    In this video, Cassie and I take the doors and top off of the Jeep Gladiator for the very first time, and also fold down the windshield!!
    Tube Doors for JL and JT: amzn.to/3V3WhV1
    They Also have JK Tube doors with this style as well.
    Here is another brand with mirrors: amzn.to/3wH4Ewf
    The topless and doorless experience in a jeep is one of the best feelings both on and offroad.
    I decided to go ahead and get a set of budget friendly Tube doors, they seem to work well, and compliment the Jeep as well, while still being extremely affordable for an item i will only have on the Jeep every once and a while.

    JKU Bedrug Kit: amzn.to/3DhWFFZ
    We also got a Alien Sunshade for the front half, amzn.to/30qDCmD to help cut down on wind noise and sun rays. We figured this would compliment the bestop sunrider well. However i didnt think that through fully.... but it still works.
    Folding the windshield down is an awesome experience, but i would only recommend it at low speeds or offroad (where you will need tie down straps)
    Windshield Tie Down: amzn.to/309I65N
    Overall, the Jeep Gladiator still retains some of the coolest JEEP Features to it. What other truck on the market lets you take the top off, doors off, and even fold the windshield down??
    I hope you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe!!
    Stay tuned for more Jeep Videos dropping weekly!

    Check out this free app that gets you cash back on gas. Our Jeeps love drinking gas... this app is pretty cool. They work with local gas stations and give you cash back per gallon (they want you to visit their gas station opposed to others).

    Refreshing to see someone drop the windshield. I’ve done it a few times on my JL Rubicon. Drove around town running errands. Haven’t scene anyone else do it in the wild.

    • @orange_bench
      @orange_bench Před 4 lety +2

      Vespering the main reason you won’t see most people doing it in newer Jeep’s is because it voids the warranty on the seals, and it’s really hard for some people to get the windshield seal properly

  • @markgosser9578
    @markgosser9578 Před 4 lety

    Look awesome! I took my gladiator doors and top off when I first bought it two months ago, everybody and their brother had to come over and check it out and ask questions. I have yet to put the hard top back on but after seeing this video I’m taking the doors off today and going cruising around town.

  • @jimschmidt4089
    @jimschmidt4089 Před 4 lety +2

    Great video and I like the look with the doors too.
    It looked waaaaaaaaaaaay better with the top off than it did with just the freedom panels off.
    Sweet look!

  • @jojoaspi7398
    @jojoaspi7398 Před 4 lety +8

    We fell in love with it when we first saw it in the dealer lot with everything blown out. Also I highly recommend getting the non-painted top 😀

  • @patrickjamesmcb
    @patrickjamesmcb Před 4 lety +1

    I love that the JL has a folding windshield. I also love the lighter doors and the door stops that hold the doors in place while open. Key features that are missing on my JK.

  • @melissaroof6669
    @melissaroof6669 Před 3 lety +1

    Nice! I have a Gladiator in Punk’n metallic and I LOVE it! My dream Jeep!!! I am so thrilled they brought back a truck, so you get all the fun of the Jeep and the utility of a truck, and it’s not too big. I have the step up rails, roll-up tonneau, noise/heat panels, sun shade, iPad for nav, and was thinking lights and a front brush guard, but now I need the tubular doors. I agree that the idea of riding with nothing there is unnerving. I love taking the freedom tops off but admit the rear top is too much work. Also, with the freedom tops off and the sun shade on, I still feel like I have a little security in addition to the sun and wind protection, whereas by removing the rear top, you are wide open and have to be able to keep an eye on the truck if you didn’t completely empty out the cab.
    Great video guys, and another commenter is right, your videos are very conversational, good on detail without getting tedious, and very engaging. Good stuff! (And the girls are adorable!) I am enjoying your channel. Thanks!!!

  • @notsosilentmajority1
    @notsosilentmajority1 Před 4 lety +3

    I have never been a Jeep guy but I really like the Gladiator. I am seriously considering buying one. I wish it had a slightly longer bed. I realize it has a fairly long wheel base but my last truck had an 8' bed and the modern 6' (5 1/2') seem small so this is even smaller. It would be great if Jeep offered a choice of more than one engine. It looks really great with the doors and top removed but the setup for the windshield seemed like problems/damage waiting to happen. It definitely is a nice vehicle. You folks did a great job with this video. Thanks for taking the time to show all the steps involved for everything and keeping an honest time clock when removing and adding doors, top, etc.. Good looking truck, great looking family and wonderful video. Thank you and God bless. 👍🏼

  • @krashnpa
    @krashnpa Před 4 lety

    Yesssss, more JT! Since one of the main reasons for buying the Jeep is to take the top and doors off (besides off road capability), it would suck not to take them off. Shoulda bought a Ranger and saved the dough in that case. Thanks for breaking a nail to bring us this content! 👗👜

    To unplug the wire harness from the front doors you need to press a tab in at the bottom of the plug then the white part will roll up easy. Thanks for the link on the tube doors. Have a JL that's a twin to your gladiator and was looking for something like these tube doors that don't break the bank!

    I've been looking at a buying a Rubicon myself. I always do a lot of research before buying a new vehicle. I've watched about 4 of your videos on your Rubicon. I gotta tell you...You do a great job with your channel. Great commentary, Great personality and expressions. Incorporating your wife (Cassie, hope I spelled it correctly) is brilliant. Even showing your kids, is fantastic. I laughed so hard when in one of your videos you said "gotta put the girls down for a nap"...and one of them got sassy and yelled "No"! Seriously laughed out loud. You have a cool channel, an Awesome wife, and two beautiful girls. You are a blessed man. Your channel is tempting me big time, to get my Rubicon. Keep up the good work. Well done!

  • @jeepwhere6297
    @jeepwhere6297 Před 4 lety +1

    One thing I like about the JL and JT doors is the underside of the armrest has a pocket that is a handle to help you hold the door. At 6:22 in your video instead of having your left hand lifting up the on the top of the door, try putting your arm into the window and grab it under the armrest. I find it much easier to handle the doors doing it this way.

      What even?? This has gotta be a child endangerment thing. They aren't consenting adults who have a say in what car they're driving in and definitely not able to accept the risk of driving in a Jeep like this. On top of that, removing the doors definitely affects the rigidity of the side of vehicle.
      I'm not some middle aged sheltered up tight mother, but this is really stupid. I would have a lot of shit to say to both of you and your wives in a parking lot if I saw this.
