=============================
Lol heâs switching to iPhone and yâall mad because you like blackberry đ
More like they like land lines.
Iâve never watched your channel for the vehicle, but I will definitely be paying more attention to the vehicle now. Iâm really interested to see how EVs work for overlanding. My wife just got a used Tesla after Hertz flooded the market and Iâm learning that all the negativity from people who have never owned one simply isnât true. The hate seems to be 70% based on fiction and 25% exaggeration. Only 5% is actually factual and realistic. Although I can see it being more difficult, Iâm hoping all the negativity on overlanding with an EV is just as wrong.
Good luck with the Rivian- I think you nailed the timing, the EV market is exploding and Rivianâs leading the off road charge. As an EV owner I donât understand the hate that still flows, seems like an education and fear of change thing to me. When people understand that EVs are actually much better than ICE vehicles in 99% of aspects, theyâll come around. Itâs scary to buy the first one and learn about charging and to change the way you think about and plan trips. But itâs awesome once you do. Let the haters hate and follow your own path- thanks for the future content, I subscribed and will be eager to see Rivian adventures!
Sad to see that the gladiator will be leaving but Iâm still gonna stay around and watch your content
Iâll be interested to see what you do
Rivian got an investment from VW, stock went up 50%, Rivian is here to stay for a bit longer.
Yeah! That was HUGE news yesterday. Jumped from $11 to almost $20!
Interested to see what you do with the Rivian. They are very cool and capable vehicles. I expect you will have some additional planning and hurdles to clear with energy management, but they have a pretty big battery and are efficient at slow speeds as well. Canât wait to see how your build goes.
As a Raptor owner, I'm excited to see the Rivian content!
For me, I could care less about the vehicle and gear. I want to watch people telling their story and sharing their experiences of travel. If I wanted to watch dk measuring videos by bragging about their vehicles and gear, I would watch xoverland. Justin, I enjoy watching your content because you seem like a good dude I would like to go on an adventure with who makes well produced content, period. So whatever the gear or rig, I'll watch. That said, I do wish I could buy the Gladiator! Wonder if you could do a raffle? Sell enough raffle tickets to offset the cost. I would definitely buy some raffle tickets! Not that I would win, but I'd throw my hat in that ring!
The cost of a raffle is far too much. Legal fees and taxes on it would mean Iâd need to sell $120k of raffle tickets to get close to the lowest price I would accept for the Gladiator.
It may take time to sell, thatâs ok.
And thank you for being here for adventure and fun. I see the perspective of all the others, but Iâve been very clear that Iâm not a vehicle loyalist. Iâm here to see what is the best tool for the job. That said, Iâm hoping to lock myself into a position of authority in the EV adventure space over the next 5+ years.
If anything, people should be happy that Iâm taking the risk to see whatâs possible so they donât have to.
@@JustinBMcBride Yeah, man, it's a hell of a truck. It will sell and worth all the pennies!
@@JustinBMcBride For sure, part of exciting adventures is taking risks and pushing the boundaries and not having everything under sun that makes for a flawless trip.
I look forward to the rivian!
What most excited me about the Rivian was the camp kitchen, even though thatâs become vaporware. Seeing your overland build will be cool!
Super excited to see the EV content! Nothing is perfect but Iâm looking forward to see what you can and canât do with an EV.. I think the Rivian is a sweet platform!
as a recent Rivian owner myself... subscribing to follow from the begining!
So you will help expose what we are missing (or not) and directly compare with our Jeeps? You will do this without me spending 100k on a Rivian? Why are my Jeep Overlanders so tweaked by this? You are taking a serious risk and I am excited about what you find. Hopefully it reinforces my Jeep choices because I really donât need Rivian wet dreams. Thanks for all you do and disregard the haters.
Fixing mistakes is part of the journey. Great to see the bumper getting a proper upgrade, complete with fresh bolts and thread locker.
Rivian owner here, now subscribing. Looking forward to see what you discover.
Hey!!! đ I'm excited to see EV overlanding! Looking forward to seeing how your's plays out. Subscribed!
Came here to say this as well, looking forward to R1T overland stuff with you!!
I'm a new subscriber, looking forward to the Rivian content!
I had a feeling you were going with the Rivian based on a video you did when you had the Bronco! Canât wait to see the videos!
From Broncos to Jeeps to Rivians. It's perfectly cool for you to try new things and push the vehicles to their limits. We'll have you to thank to figure out pros/cons of each vehicle. My son and I will keep watching and supporting your channel.
I'm interested to see the new direction. I'm wondering if you'd be ale to make the ev truck fit your needs though due to a current lack of mods available for them though (with exception of suspension I guess)
Trust me when I say Iâve done my due diligence. 90% of my build is already figured out. So many of the Rivian builds I see are underwhelming and donât meet the needs of the adventures I take on. I am pivoting to show what is possible and challenge the stigma of EV adventure.
@@JustinBMcBride hope it turns out well. I dont have room for a second car but if I did, I'd want a rivian. They look pretty awesome
It will be cool to see what can and canât be done with the new platform. If only you could keep both and have constant comparison. Vehicles are too dang expensive these days.
Here to see cool gear and cool adventures. I'm not an Ev fan, but maybe your built will change my mind.
Change is always good, interesting, scary and can be rewarding. Plus the price for Winston seems pretty fair tbh considering how much you have into it. On to the next build.
How did you get the Amber Lenses? Ive been looking for them for my Squadron and S8 Lights.
Also here for the long run I drive a Ford Ranger and I'm here because I enjoy your overlanding and vehicle modification builds you do, Sad to see some of the jeep folks leaving because you don't drive a jeep anymore.
Wish you good luck with the Rivian and I'm excited to see what you do with it.
Baja Designs sent them to me. I figured they had to be available by now, but looks like they still arenât which is SUPER weird because Iâve had these for months now.
@JustinBMcBride Interesting, I guess I'll have to contact Baja Designs and see if I could get some.
@Melintedavid95 I too drive a Ford Ranger and love my Bajaj Design Sport Squardron ditch and fog lights w/wide lenses!

I think you will love the rivian as a vehicle but potentially hate the aftermarket support. But I am looking forward to what you find/come up with.
I disagree the US market will become common EV. Although the government & EPA are pushing this hard, the American consumers are not buying it & have many reservations towards going 100% or even majority to EV.
Nice. I think I subscribed when you had the Bronco.I think it was your beach trip or something that got me to enjoy the content. I didn't think twice when you went to the Jeep. As a Rivian owner who off-roads with a Bronco owner, why can't we all just get a long? Not much out there for aftermarket. We don't even have a wench bumper yet, and that is a major let down.
3 things - First, for some reason I assumed most everything was gifted to big time CZcamsrs. Secondly, glad I passed on the overpriced AEV bumper, as it was on my wish list early on (I was actually going to go with an AEV lift, but have changed my mind towards TF last minute). Lastly, in your previous video I commented that Rivian was your next choice (and I hope you donât regret it too much!). CZcams seems like a fickle platform. Crazy that your views are dropping with your GladiâŠ
Haha, Iâm not big time. Iâm just a guy like any of you.
The pivot in the business to focus on EV will have growing pains. Iâm ready for that. I mean, look at all the Jeep bros leaving because I want to try something that they donât have the guts to try and shoot down on bias alone.
But thatâs why Iâm doing it. Too many people are afraid of risk, and I have been that person, thatâs why I got the Gladiator. I knew it would work for me, but my job is to push the limits, and to do that in a way that isnât inherently dangerous, Iâm going to go the EV route.
Iâm yet to see a Rivian build that can be a Localander in the way I would use one.
@@JustinBMcBride Iâve seen Rivians in some fairly challenging locations when I was in UT and AZ in May. Being Canadian (and really never seeing one before) I thought it was wild. Best of luck with it - Iâll be watching with interest!
As a R1S owner, looking forward to your future contents đ
Wow ... I get it. your channel is your business and you need to pivot to hopefully drive more engagement. I'll be curious to see if switching platforms helps with your channel performance or if it will just simply shift to a new set of viewers. The production quality of your videos is top shelf, so I believe you're just feeling the over saturated world of YT. If it were me I would seriously look at keeping the Gladiator while bringing in the new platform. This would allow content creation for each and help engage two different genre's. From an adventure perspective, the Rivian, while cutting edge for an EV truck simply isn't going to get you to the same places that the Gladiator does (example being the creek crossing/sand hill video I just watched)... I've watched TSTN twist in different platforms for content and he always seems to end up back in his JT. However I do understand that two platforms is a big investment to commit to, but that is also the risk vs reward with owning a business .... Good luck with the new endeavor.
Your sentence, âThe Rivian, while cutting edge for an EV truck simply isnât going to get you to the same places.â Is why Iâm doing this.
Rule number 1 of CZcams is âchallenge assumptions.â Rule number 2 is âfill a void.â
There are 100 other Gladiator channels, all of them modding in almost the same way as me and going to the same, if not similar, locations as me.
Iâm the Windows phone in a sea of iPhones. Itâs time to pivot.
Keeping the Gladiator isnât in the cards. I have neither the space nor the capital.
When it sells, Iâm all in on the pivot.
Iâd love if you got a Rivian! Youâre going to love it Justin. I love mine!
Good for you bro, I'm looking forward to the new content.
"Its youtube... I'm allowed to exaggerate" đ
Nothing is real on the internet. Haha
@@JustinBMcBride Including your content.
@@Un_Disclosed says the guy with âUser-NG1Bm8dp9zâ haha! I love when I get trolls like you in the comments. Happy to take up some free rent in your head.
WD is from the Idiocracy timeline. Enjoy your new electric dual cab. Sincerely hope it brings you the YT success you are chasing.
WD? Western Digital?
@@JustinBMcBride whistlin diesel
Hey Justin, the video walkthrough on Winston's site is only 4 seconds long.
.....but man, I think its the "overloading" that brought people to your channel. Not the vehicle..I had a Taco when I saw your videos for the first time. I changed that about three times.
Then they shouldnât care that Iâm selling the Gladiator to continue what Iâm doing in a more challenging platform. Should be a lot of fun to see how the next build comes together.
Well itâs been nice following your channel and nothing against the Rivian my buddy has one. But lm a Jeep person and was following your channel because of your awesome gladiator . Well good luck on your channel
This is my fault. I have focused too heavily on what I drive on this channel instead of where I go. I am NOT a brand loyalist with vehicles. Never have been. Itâs why my channel is my name and not something like Jeep Freak or Yota Bro.
Iâm here for adventure, and the challenge of achieving it in a vehicle most assume canât do it, is worth it for me.
There are plenty of Gladiator homies out there. Iâm just noise in that space at this point.
I'll keep following the channel because I like your content regardless of the vehicle you're driving, and I'm pretty neutral overall on EV vs gas. But, having bought a vehicle earlier this year and having algorithms on all the sites now feed me endless car content because I did a few months of research, there is an absolutely insane amount of people out there who've been conditioned to get all riled up over EVs on social media. All the car news sites have leaned into this to get hate clicks, and its my belief that bad actors are feeding into it also just to stoke divisions before the election this fall. A huge number of "car guys" - this includes the overlanding community, especially jeep guys - spend an inordinate amount of their time talking sh*t on every EV article that comes through their feeds. If you're transitioning to Rivian in the hopes of getting better engagement, I suspect that there's a fair amount or your audience who are going to disengage, just given how politicized the topic has become.
Good luck! I hope I'm wrong
Hey that's exciting that you're trying something new! I'm not personally into the EV outdoor scene (although those Rivians are hot and fast). Mostly because i don't think EVs make sense in an off road, self-sufficiency perspective. There's enough anxiety in being way out there in the swell haha.
That said it's not a *bad* idea to be a leader in the content space. Best of luck. I may tune in here and there to see your experience. From a nerd perspective, I'm with Toyota on the hybrid commitment (although currently in a Jeep). Both from a market and carbon footprint perspective. Hybrid is better for both and IMO is the future. Perhaps your content could touch on those topics! You could always be the YT authority on both in the future. Just saying if you bring a generator in the wild just in case... you're effectively a hybrid.
No reason not to enjoy whatever tool gets us out there. Most of the time we watch these videos we'd rather be out doing those things. Feel free to share locations and adventure ideas. Not here to pay you to enjoy an adventure i can't also enjoy.
Looking forward to your new content! I have really enjoyed being able to hear nature while offroading in a Rivian!
After the electric era, go to the Ineos next! That would be interesting to see in Utah too
The whole production of this video reminds me of AI generated content.
This whole comment reminds me of an AI generated comment.
@@JustinBMcBride In plainer language, lazy af content with ai providing the voice over.
@@Un_Disclosed youâre right. Spending a week on this video was lazy. Two days filming and three editing and scripting.
Keep the hits coming. I need the engagement - you know, because I obviously suck at all this.
Justin- I've been following you since you started. I wish you luck with the electric platform but I'll probably tune out unless you're on some cool back-trail camping areas I can check out when I'm on my next Jeep adventure.
đđŒđŻđȘđŒ

Yep, manufacturers are backing off the EV craze and going more towards dual, gas/electric. Not to mention how heavy EV's are. Good luck with the venture, and I hope, for you, that we're all wrong.
Sounds like a âtrust me broâ statement. Jeep is all in on a full electric future. Ford, all in on full electric. GM, all in on full electric. The only manufacturer that is pro hybrid and EV leery that comes to mind is Toyota, but they have even changed their branding from just âhybridâ to âHybrid EV.â
The truth is that electric vehicles are going to become more prevalent, and accepting them in the outdoor space early is important to ensure we get what we really want from those future releases.
Well I am slightly disappointed about you switching to an EV vehicle, because I enjoy you content /adventures in the Red Rubi Glad, , and I don't see how you will be able to do week long deep off road adventures without 5k watts of solar panels always deployed (otherwise it would be drive a day, sit still a day and charge back up) but you do what you need to do... ok the big Question, sale price (US $) of your red (Diesel?) Gladiator? what comes with it, what are you removing to put in/on new build? current approximate mileage , any known issues /recalls etc. ? I have a Red Launch Edition Rubicon (gas) Gladiator, mildly lifted on 37's and kitted out to overland that is getting a little tired and racking up miles...
LoL you think that there are places in the US where you can drive for a week offroad? What delusional fantasies are you living in? The longest offroad stretch in the US is something like 75 miles. Easily done in the Rivian.
Well I've been here for quite awhile, since the Tacoma days, it was hard to stay during the bronco days but your adventures kept me around. The EV is a big no for me but I'll try to stay. Best of luck in the future.
Appreciate your desire to seek out new things just not a Rivian fan ( or EVs) but still, it will be interesting. Stay safe and get a long extension cord đ
Donât sell the Gladiator. Itâs a fantastic build. You even drove it to Canada to be built up. I personally hate EV vehicles. But that is my personal opinion on that matter. The Gladiator is a far superior off roader to a Rivian Truck. Recharging a EV on an off road adventure has to be a nightmare.
Why do you hate EVs? Afraid of drivetrains? FFS the Rivian has a better range than Broncos and the TRX. They are insanely efficient off-road because they do not idle. The longest offroad stretch in the US is about 75 miles. Why would you need to recharge ever?
It's just ignorance
No one wants offroad ev content...
Buy my Jeep and start making your own content then.
I want offroad EV content
So you improperly installed the bumper. Most of AEVs products are built to OEM standards that why GM and Jeep partner with them! And yes they test everything! Good luck with that EV choice. I personally think Toyota is on the right path. Our grid system is not up to the standards it needs to be for EV's.
The real issue isn't EVs it's all up electrical use, Data centers account for 8x's more usage then EVs and even if every American switched to EVs tomorrow we would still only be on-par with Data centers. By 2050 it's estimated 50% of on- road vehicles will be electric accounting for 15% of electricity use.... Data centers are predicted to hit 38% of all US electric use.
Good luck with your Rivian project/adventures.
Iâm not interested in over sized scale electric vehicles so will not be watching us progress in the future goodbye and good luck
Wow. So many people are too attached to what I drive. Where were you during the last few months?
@@JustinBMcBride watching your videos and enjoying them except for the reruns which frustrated me as I can remember watching the first time round.
All the best with the future, Iâll stick with my land cruiser 78 Troopy.
@@overland_adventure_nz child
Oh dang a ev :/ make sure to bring a generator so you can go places
Or I develop strong skills in route planning and preparation.
Fun fact. The Rivian will get more range than I got in my 2-door Bronco. It wonât be as bad as you think.
@JustinBMcBride range and mpg I get that but with your bronco you where able to refill on the trails but with ev you have to be near some place or town that has a charger.. but I understand your shift towards ev on a channel level. It will be fun to see what happens but ev market needs to think about these things for the adventure types
@@dirtremedyoffroad the only way that EVs will take adventure types seriously is if the early adopter market makes a strong showing to let them know what we need.
@JustinBMcBride I can agree there.
Or a Rotopax full of electrons :)
Gonna be honest, not interested in the Rivian and I wont be watching any of your future videos.
Thatâs fine.
How about this, are you interested in adventure around Utah? Because thatâs really what the core of my channel is. Hell, my series is called âLocalanderâ because I localand around Utah. It doesnât matter what we drive but where we go.
@@JustinBMcBrideIâm into that. I donât care what youâre driving. I think an EV spin is kind of interesting but honestly itâs about being out there more than what brand of vehicle youâre using.
Because it's better than what you can afford? Be more aspirational and better able to understand and accept technology.
â@BillChurchFl if that were actually true people wouldn't be butthurt that he's getting a different brand vehicle lmao
Well good luck but Iâm afraid you may be heading in the wrong direction. EV sales are not up but down. People who want them already own them and everyone else wants nothing to do with them. Thatâs why all the lay offs at EV plants. They are already talking about hydrogen for Peteâs sake. Same thing happened to trailrecon with the EV and he let it go within a few hours. So good luck man, had enjoyed your channel.
That explains Volkswagenâs $5b investment. Thanks for the expert advice.
Dude where are you getting that info? Fox news? EV sales are up across the board only one companies sales are down... Teslas. EV sales in the US are up 1/4 over 1/4 with no decline and world.wide EVs saw a 14% gain...
This incorrect for almost every single EV maker except Tesla.
Everyone selling Ev's is selling more each year than they did in the last. MORE people are buying ev's every year not less.
The increase in growth is down, but still growing.
The numbers look down for one reason. Teslas sales took a dump.
They are such a big player it made the whole market look poor. It is not.
Every single manufacturer other than Tesla has set record sales this year. EVs are now 20% of the market globally, 10% in the US. How about you pay more attention? By the way Hydrogen is insanely inefficient because you know how you make hydrogen? With electricity!
Someone can't read a graph
So happy to see you keep progressing with rig choices. We enjoy watching you! While I'll miss the GFC I won't miss the Gladiator since we seem to follow so many who have them. Actuality the rig doesnât make for good content just the individuals. Thank you for always pushing forward. We enjoy everything you offer. More importantly your humor and honesty with no gimmicks!
Wait did GFC put out a April fools going all electric? Does this mean a GFC V2PRO might be on that Rivian? đđ

Itâs easy for viewers to forget that my channel is my business and that the market is very saturated with Gladiators visiting all the same spots I visit. Thank you for the perspective.
As for the GFC, itâs real. They are making campers for the Rivian. That and the access to the Tesla charging network are the two major things that have convinced me to make the jump.
