Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead

On the Overland Journal Podcast, host Scott Brady and co-host Matt Scott discuss building a Jeep Gladiator for camping and overlanding after Matt’s three-week Baja trip to Cabo. They cover why the Gladiator feels like an honest, purpose-built off-road pickup, how it compares to other midsize trucks, and which trims make sense (including the Sport with max tow/max payload and Rubicon advantages like lockers). Matt details his setup and experience on 37s with a factory lift, Method wheels, Falken A/T3W tires, 4.88 gears, factory bumpers/sliders, a Warn Zeon winch, MaxTrax, and the AT Overland Summit wedge camper with insulated construction, Turn Overland windows, diesel heater, drawers, fridge, solar, and a large lithium battery. They also discuss current suspension limitations, upcoming aftermarket options, travel plans to Alaska/Yukon and possibly the Silk Road, a favorite Kovea butane torch, Scott’s upcoming GX 470 build, and adopting Greyhounds.
