Possessed by a Demon?
Special Texas Gladiator Re-Tread?
Jeep released another state-specific, limited-edition version of the Gladiator and this time it’s catering to off-roaders in the Sunshine State. Sold only in Florida, the 2024 Gladiator High Tide Edition features a distinctive-looking exterior design that you can also order in Texas.
Based on the Sport S trim level, the High Tide Edition gets 17-inch black-painted wheels wrapped by 32-inch mud-terrain tires, steel rock rails, a body-colored hardtop, plus “HIGH TIDE” decals on the hood. We’re told that there’s an edition-specific badge on the tailgate, but pictures of the back end haven’t been released yet. If all of this sounds familiar, it’s because the Texas Trail Edition unveiled earlier in 2024 gets the exact same treatment; only the decals are different. Jeep even published the same picture, though it changed the logo on the hood.
It’s a similar story inside, where the High Tide Edition mirrors the Texas Trail Edition in many ways. The list of standard features includes keyless entry, black McKinley leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch touchscreen for the Uconnect 5 infotainment system, and adaptive cruise control. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated door mirrors are included as well — hey, it sometimes freezes in Florida.
Jeep didn’t make any mechanical changes, so power for the High Tide Edition comes from a 3.6-liter V6 rated at 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The standard Sport S is offered with either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed automatic.
On sale now in Florida, the 2024 Jeep Gladiator High Tide Edition carries a base price of $50,170, including a mandatory $1,895 destination charge. Buyers have six paint colors to choose from: Black, Bright White, Granite Crystal, Hydro Blue, Firecracker Red, and Anvil. You’re not entirely out of luck if you want a limited-edition Gladiator but live outside of Florida and Texas. Jeep released several limited-edition variants of its truck in recent months including the blacked-out NightHawk and the Rubicon-based Mopar. Tuscadero Pink paint is available as well.
Horsepower or Gears?
In a recent flagship episode “Horsepower of Gears?” Larry asked Wendy and me which we would want? Jeep Talk Show listener Clint reached out and gave us his two cents.
We had said that King of the Hammers it was all about gears, but not so. , I’m assuming most, of the KOH rigs aren’t geared low at all. Transfer case of 2:1 and 4.10 gears. Stall speed of 3000 to 4500 rpm. They hit the rocks at speed!
Clint added he had a buddy bring a KOH rig to Barnwell Park, here in Texas, and it struggled to crawl.
Clint has been in one, and he says 103 mph smooth and jumps like a cloud.
It’s interesting how purpose-built vehicles can be so good and one thing and not at others. It makes sense when you think about it.

This Jeep Talk Show flagship episode is brought to you by Toledo Jeep Fest. Join the wave. Toledo Jeep Fest is back. Toledo Jeep Fest presented by Dana is August 2nd through the 4th in downtown Toledo. Catch the Yark All Jeep Parade, Park and Shine Car Show, and the vendor Midway. You might even catch us there, guys. Live music, delicious food, and fun for the entire family. Details at ToledoJeepFest.com. And look for the Jeep Talk Show host, Chris, Nikki G, and maybe Larry will be there while you’re there. So when you say we’ll be there, you mean HiLift or you, me, and the rest of the Jeep Talk Show team? I cannot be there, but maybe one of our jeeps will be there, I’m hoping. Oh, I see what you’re saying. Hey, this episode is also brought to you by G-tops. In the beginning, the idea of G-tops was to simply let the light into your Jeep. Many Jeepers take the top off, their tops off. Freedom tops make this easy and easy to store. But if you could let the light in every time you drive your Jeep, rain, snow, sunny, it doesn’t matter. That’s G-tops, letting you enjoy the outside simply and easily. I love my G-tops. I’m hoping that you’re going to see some of those at HiLift Off-Road soon. Me too. They are really cool. If you haven’t checked out the website, check out the website. It is really, really cool. It’s nothing like sitting in there and looking up and seeing through there.
And actually, Tony Mitten, Anthony, was our winner for a recent G-tops giveaway. And he has sent in his tops. And Chris at G-tops told me that he has already applied the G-top treatment. In other words, put the clear panels in them. And Tony is going to get these things back probably by Monday. So stay tuned for some updates from our G-tops winner. I cannot wait to see it. Hi, I’m Tony. Welcome to the Jeep Talk Show, where we put the fun in off-road fun. This is the only show where you can hear Jeep owners talk about things like mud, rocks, and giant tires and not get weird looks. So strap in, grab your favorite beverage, and get ready to laugh, learn, and have a damn good time. We guarantee that after listening to us, you’ll have that sudden urge to go buy a Jeep and hit the trails. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
All right. So in our news stories tonight, Natalie, there is another state-specific gladiator being released by Jeep. Did you hear about the first one? I did. And it’s such a really cool, unique idea. I mean, we have to keep thinking of different things, right? So why not just take it state by state and make it unique? And the last gladiator that I talked about this was a Texas edition. And the cool thing about that one was it was outfitted almost identically to the 2021 Jeep Talk Show gladiator. Oh, you were on to something already. And of course, I’m a Texan. I live here in Texas. And I think they should have just called it the Jeep Talk Show gladiator and then sold that to all 50 states. That solves all the problems. Yes.
In our Jeep gladiator update, a little twist tonight, we’re going to have Natalie explain to her how she got possessed by a demon. Or have you been exercised? Was there any green, pea green soup? I think I’m still possessed right now. I just, I can’t. It’s, wait till we talk about it, guys. Once possessed by this demon, you want to continue being possessed. I think it’s safe to say. Yes, you do.
And then our must have stuff for your Jeep accessory of the week. How do you keep your drinks and food cold?
Are you ready? It’s time for the Jeep Talk Show with hosts Tony, Josh, Wendy, and Chuck.
And I’m Natalie from Hell of a Top Road where you dream it and we build it. Oh, I like that.
Is that an official one or is that one you came up with? It’s quickly becoming an official one because I keep saying it. And honestly, it really is true. Oh yeah, absolutely. So I just mentioned at the top of the show that there’s a new special gladiator. And I’m going to say this, is this a special Texas gladiator retread?
We mentioned this on a few episodes back. We do five episodes a week, so it may have been a bunch of episodes back, but it wasn’t very long ago talking about the Texas gladiator. And then I just mentioned it was outfitted a lot like the gladiator I have. I think it was a sport S. I don’t remember. I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t look it up, but it was really set up like my gladiator, the 2021 Jeep Talk Show gladiator. And now there’s going to be one for Florida.
Oh, I didn’t know which state it was going to be. I wanted it to be a surprise. Okay. All right. And I think it’s called the high tide. I just need to look here in this. Yeah. A high tide edition. That makes sense. I guess, I guess cat five hurricane is kind of a negative because they’ve got several of those. I’m never, I’m not gonna go there. So Jeep released another state specific limited edition version of the gladiator. And this time it’s catering to off rotors in the sunshine state sold only in Florida. The 2024 gladiator high tide edition features a distinctive looking exterior design that you can also order in Texas. Oh, I see what they did there. So that’s kind of cool.
You can only order in Florida or Texas. That’s right. That’s right. So, oh, here it is. I am right. It was, this one is just like the Texas edition was based on the sport S trim, which is what the 2021 Jeep Talk Show gladiator is. The high tide edition gets 17 inch black painted wheels wrapped by 32 inch mud terrain tires. That’s not bad. 32 inches is not bad, a bad size. I think 33, 35 should be better.
Steel rock rails. They might as well just done 33s, but that’s okay. I agree. I agree. But you know, it’s, it does. I guess it depends on what they have available. A bunch of what they have available.
It’s a body color colored hardtop. I would not have minded body colored hardtop on my mic because I don’t have that, you know, the sport S you don’t, you have to get a Rubicon, I believe. And I think maybe the Mojave is also, oh, I think they do. Yeah. I’m surprised with the Florida edition, it wouldn’t be a soft top automatically in the hard toppy an option. You know, you may see some of those soft tops there. I wasn’t very impressed with the soft top on the gladiator. To me, it was like a no brainer to get a, to get a hard top on a gladiator. Okay. Soft top was not very impressive to me and I think they had some problems with it. Now I was kind of hopeful whenever I got my gladiator that maybe something better would come out from best top and then it would be, that would be an easy thing to put on. I’ve really liked, especially on the TJs, the best top, like the Trek top NX for the TJ, that kind of fastback look, really nice top and has held up very well. We’ve had it on my wife’s 2003 TJ for gosh, I guess about seven years or so now. I have that slant back now for mine. I just got it. So yeah.
Best top makes some really good tops. Of course they make it for Jeep is my understanding as well, but I don’t know that they made the one that’s on the gladiator from the stock. At least I hope not. Cause it just, it doesn’t look very nice either.
But anyway, so as I said, it’s based on the Sport S trim level, 32 inch tires. It has a high tide decals on the hood.
And it’s like the, the, it has some, episode edition specific badge on the tailgate.
So it’s nice to have those little special things. Now I don’t know if you were following Jeeps way back, whenever like a tomb reader, the movies, tomb readers wrong. And they had, I think it was a tomb reader JK is they had a special edition. Call of duty. Yeah.
Those were pretty cool. And this is kind of kind of reminds me of that where they’re there. That’s what I was thinking. Yeah. Where they’re bringing you into those, those type of things. And we need a Minecraft edition. Oh, that would be cool.
I play games too.
Yeah. I’m going to go ahead and say it. So I thought I was thinking about reaching out to a decal person that I know has a very successful business and decals actually the Jeep talks with stickers. The big Jeep talks with stickers there on the gladiator. And I thought given recent events, uh, it would be fun to have a red, a streak, a decal for the mirror on the right side of the vehicle. And then, and then two stripes of red just down the side kind of look kind of like, kind of like an injured ear with blood coming off of it. See, you didn’t see it coming.
Well, there’s another joke there. I’m going to stay away from, we have to be careful. But I thought that would be really funny. Could you see Jeep running, driving around with the, just on the, on the right mirror that it’s, it’s got these streaks.
I’m glad that turned out the way it did. I’m very happy that that turned out the way it did. But I still think you can make fun of a lot of different things. And certainly serious. I like making fun of serious situations because it’s, it’s like watching a very tense movie or even a scary movie. And then they have a bit of humor injected in that. It’s kind of a release like, Oh God, thank you. You need to have that a little bit. You need to be, you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable. So that’s a way to do it. Yeah. So on sale now in Florida, the 2024 Jeep light eater high tide edition carries a base price brace yourself of $50,170, including a mandatory, damn it, mandatory $1,895 destination charge. And I think I brought this up before. Didn’t have to go someplace anyway. Why are we, why are we being charged for a destination charge?
So I, from, from what I’m reading here, it’s telling me, don’t even ask to get it off because it’s mandatory.
Don’t even ask. Even though you live in the state is specific for the state. You still have to have it. Okay. Yeah, exactly. So the good news is you can travel to Florida to buy one or maybe you already live in Texas. You can just buy one there. Yeah. Take it to the beach. Don’t take it to the beach. I hate to have beaches. Yeah. Kind of. Yeah. It’s, it’s so funny people. I want to go to Galveston. I want to go to Galveston. I gather the Galveston sucks. It is brown water. So, I mean, I can go stand outside and get burned just by, I don’t, I don’t have to drive 60 miles to Galveston.
It’s a nice place. Galveston is a nice place, but going there for the beach is not, not my thing to do. Yeah. You guys have great lakes though. That lake outside of Austin, that’s a good, yeah. I think that’s like Travis that you’re talking about. Lake Travis. Really? I was there on a bachelorette party, but yes, which who isn’t, but yeah. Very good. Well, you made it back. That’s good.
So buyers have six paint colors to choose from black, bright white. I guess I would think if it’s not bright white, it’s a gray granite crystal, hydro blue. Hydro blue is a very nice color. I really like that. It’s a good, a good strong color for, for Jeeps. Firecracker red, which is what I have on my Jeep. Me too. And I think this is a, this is a blatant product placement, Advil for a color. Oh, I’m sorry. That’s not a head. Well, that’s an anvil. So you’re not entirely out of luck if you want a limited edition gladiator, but live outside the Florida and Texas areas. Jeep has released several limited edition variants of its truck in recent months, including a blacked out night.
Is that night? Hawk at night, Hawk and Rubicon based Mopar Tuscadero pink. Now Tuscadero pink is in the color. I want, I would want, it’s a cool looking color though. It is. If it’s done well, it can be. And you know, if you’re a man, you want that, that’s fine. But I think it’s a great color for women. You know that they want to stand out. It’s a bright color. It’s very unique looking. And yeah, I think the Tuscadero pink is really neat. Just not for me. Not me either. I gotta be, I’m a woman, me either, but I love everyone else that has it. Well, I always say Jeeps should be a bright colors. They should be seen. And they should. I mean, Tuscadero pink certainly fits in there. And it’s not that Pepto bismol color, which I think that it’s done well. I think the Pepto bismol color has a bad connotation to it. Like, you know, you’re sick. And then when you see that color, all you think about is tummy grumbles and nobody wants to think about that.
But for our cracker red, I think we’re both partial to that. Yep. So I don’t think, I don’t think you were on this one, Natalie, correct me if I’m wrong on this, but we recently did an episode about horsepower or gears. No, that actually, I remember now. That was a Wendy and Larry that we did that. I missed that one. Yeah. And so the question was, if you could have horsepower or gears, which one would you want or maybe which one would you go for first? And I’ll ask you for gears first. I’m going to say gears first. I agree with you. And I’m 99% sure that’s what I said on the show.
Actually that’s a lie because whenever I was asked, I said, yes, both please.
But I think gears are very important because you, that gives you a lot more power to the ground. They do. Yeah. And it sets you up for that horsepower. Yes, exactly. Do them both at the same time or do, do gears first and you get a lot of stuff out of it. Anyway, that episode, one of our, you’ve talked to your listeners, I listened to that and he reached out on Facebook chat with me and he, he gave me his feelings on the matter and he’s a, I don’t want to say he’s a high horsepower person, but he, he is in those circles like King of the hammer type people. He knows people that got to King of the hammers. So Clint reached out and gave us his two cents on that question, horsepower or gears. And he said that somebody on the show, one of me, Wendy or Larry had said that King of Hammers, it was all about gears and he says not so.
So he says he, he is, and I’m assuming most of the KHO rigs, everybody can build their rigs though they want to. But most of the KHO rigs aren’t geared low at all. He said that the transfer case on those KOH rigs are two to one. So even, even higher, numerically lower, but gear wise higher than I think the standard is 2.7 to one on the stock transfer cases. So two to one is what they go with on the King of the hammer rigs and they use four 10 gears and the differentials and the, and the axles. Yeah, I was surprised by that. Wow. Me too. And I think I said some long lines that, you know, that I was surprised. I would think that they would have, because it’s rocks and speed. So I’m thinking if you’re going to call over rocks, you do want something. And he says, well, they hit those rocks at speed.
I mean, just getting back from there, I couldn’t imagine doing that. I did think about it every now and then as Dennis Woods and I were hauling through the dunes and I’m thinking, okay, this is what it must feel like. So certainly out on the flat desert or even the bumpy desert, I can see doing that. But once you get to the rocks, I would think you’d need kind of a crawler set up, which would be absolutely much lower gearing. Yeah. Nope. They just make sure they hit the, hit the rocks at a good enough speed where they can get up and over them. And he said that the stall speed of the torque converter on most of those are 3000 to 4,500 RPM. So it gives you a little, I guess, a little boost, a little jump with that, that mass, metal mass spinning. So Clint added that he has a buddy and he brought his KOH rig to Barnwell Park. It’s a park here in Texas up near, up near Dallas. But it struggled crawling. So it was not set up for, you know, like maybe some of our rigs, some of the rigs that you guys built at High Lift Offroad is set up for crawling. It is. It’s go fast. And the thing that surprised me was it was go fast on the rocks.
The scary place. Yeah. The scary place. I can see how that would be very exciting. It would be. Yes. Especially whenever you hit something at speed and it doesn’t break and you just keep going. It does not break. Exactly. Have you been to King of the Hammers? Have you ever been? No, never been. I want to go to. I have not been as well. I would like to go. So I followed Jeremy from Rock Crawler and his rig. I followed him now the past two years and watching like on my computer and it’s just, that was really exciting to watch.
So I found it very interesting that these purpose built vehicles can be good at one thing and not other things. I mean, it makes sense when you think about it. It’s purpose built, but I just can imagine. I mean, you literally have to build something for King of the Hammers. You do. And it takes all year. Yeah. And now if you want to take that thing out and I mean, I’m sure you could start changing out axles and the transfer case and then take it and do crawling with it, but you’re not going to, you’re not going to go build it. You’re not going to have something that’s a multi-purpose vehicle.
Definitely not.
Don’t get me wrong. And I’m sure there are some KOH vehicles out there that are built that way, but they’re not competitive. I would feel safe in saying it’s the purpose built rigs that really, you know, get, get the job done. So to speak, they do.
Have you guys done anything at high lift for a KOH? I mean, as far as people come it in wanting builds or, you know, we have, I’m not that I’m aware of since I’ve been there, but I know Mike, Mike has his hand and a little bit of everything I feel like. So he normally goes. So I’m sure he’s assisted. And you guys have never had a rig at KOH. No, we haven’t. But to be a child with manners being drugged behind it. I mean, Michael, I need you to listen. We need, that’s our next step.
All right, guys. So what is that noise you hear after wheeling, even if it’s ever so slight? Have you ever heard a noise after wheeling Tony, especially after your cheap talk show weekend? Do you have any noises? I mean, going up Shafer’s trail at Moab, my wife was screaming. I’m pretty much the hardest the whole time.
Turn back, turn back.
There’s that ever so slight noise. Well, lately, you know, we’ve everyone’s been wheeling this summer a lot, especially around here, the Kentucky, Ohio River Valley.
So something that is the most I think what we’ve been seeing is the most like unsung hero is you need to have maintenance done either by yourself or by a shop like us. We had a couple rigs come in from off the trail, literally right off the trail. They were on the trailer, still had mud on them, because they started hearing noises. And those noises actually started a probably a couple months ago from what we found out. So then they just waited and waited and just kept wheeling. Oh, it’ll go away. It was just that little mud demon that gets in your wheels or your brakes. Well it turns out it was not a mud demon in those brakes and it ended up being axel seals, rear axel seals that were the problem. And now the axle needs to be replaced. So we went from a $300 possible to $3,000 plus real quick, all because maintenance is not performed besides just general car washing. So maintenance, maintenance, maintenance after you get done trail riding guys can’t talk about it enough when you hear that little noise. So curious, what was it? I guess the seals let the diff oil leak out and cause an issue that way. It did and went untreated for quite some time. And the person that happened to, they’re so fantastic and they lead rides locally and you get busy, especially if you are a trail guide in this area, especially.
So you kind of forget, you don’t forget, but you kind of put some things on the back burner.
My own personal rig, I keep hearing a squeak, squeak, squeak it when I would turn to the left. Um, but I thought, Oh, it’s not a big deal. Well, it turns out my ball joints were completely shot and I should have been driving it and I’ve just been be popping around. Um, I thought, well, it’s a Jeep thing. It makes noises. It’s going to creak and crack. No, they don’t. So listen to your Jeep is trying to tell you something. Well, and it may be something that’s not important, but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have it checked out to make sure it isn’t something that’s important because it can be a call saver. Correct. A lot of shops offer inspections. Try to say people up on those. They’re fantastic.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I hate that it costs them so much money, but I’m glad you guys at high left off road, uh, highly off road.com were able to help them out and get them back going again. But I fear now that every little noise they’re going to be calling you up and say, Hey, uh, how much is what’s your, what’s your squeak diagnosis fee? Absolutely. You’d be amazed on Monday mornings, the amount of jeeps on trailers or just random jeeps we just find in the parking lot, uh, just waiting. And we’re like, well, who’s this? Yeah, it’s fun. Well, it’s nice that they’re, they’re using them, uh, and doing stuff with them. Uh, I, uh, I mean, so far I’ve been lucky with mine. I don’t really wheel my gladiator really hard. Uh, and I suspect the ones that, but you never can’t really go by that. Can you? It’s just the right series of circumstances that can cause issues, but you shouldn’t be overly concerned about damaging your Jeep. Most of the time I think that it’s safe to say you won’t and you’ll be just fine. I agree. I agree. And trust your spotter.
I have a problem with trusting the spotter. Oh no, I should, but I, no, no, no, no, no, no. What where is the certification? Where is their, their, their little like the psychiatrist. They have the thing on the wall or the doctors have on the wall. They’re got a diploma or they’re certified and spotting because it could just be anybody that’s out there screaming at you. Or it could be a whole crowd that’s screaming at you. What’s it doing? Oh, so who do I trust? How do I know that this person even knows what they’re talking about? You know? So anyway, that’s another show. I trust. That’s why I always like to say, yeah, not necessarily another show. But another episode that we do here on the show, a chick chat. And I think a lot of people, um, maybe, maybe they don’t know this. You were actually requested to be part of chick chat. I mean, that was your primary focus for joining the show. It was. Yeah. And I was so grateful and I still am. And you do a really good job right out of the gate, uh, being here on the show. And I’ve invited you to come in here and do these flagship episodes with me because of that. And you have a little background in doing stuff like this though, don’t you? I think, yeah, just a little bit. Um, you know, I did, I got my start on chick chat with you guys, uh, with my, had my interview episode and I fell in love with it ever since. Um, but I do have a little bit of history with radio from uncle owning his own station, running a station in severe real Tennessee, uh, to I heart media back here in Cincinnati. Um, we, we, I enjoy the radio. I have a face for radio, but I guess we’re on YouTube now. So here we go. Um, so, uh, I don’t know. Some people are just born to talk and to, they don’t, it doesn’t bother them doing public speaking or you, uh, does, does it bother you doing public speaking? You know, it doesn’t, I do preach that I’m actually an introvert and everyone calls me out and says, no, you’re not. Um, but I, I do enjoy public speaking and, you know, getting up and giving a speech or talking to a crowd. I don’t mind it at all. So, but I probably should, but I don’t know. There’s no shit about it. You should be exactly who you are. And it’s never bothered me, uh, doing public speaking. They don’t necessarily like what I have to say, but I say it, you know, I mean, someone’s got to say it, Tony. I don’t care. I’ll say it. I mean, you can go along with me or not. It doesn’t matter. Uh, but, uh, yeah. And then, and the cool thing about the chick chat, we haven’t had some chick chat episodes here for a while. We were looking at recording one last week, but you are not available to record and that’s perfectly fine. And I don’t know if you guys know this, everybody that’s a host, a guest host or whatever on this show, I always tell them I, I, a nap is more important than doing this show. I just want to make sure that you understand that this is not a high pressure deal. You’re a volunteer being on the show. We really appreciate you being on the show. And if you’re going to be a part of it, family, anything, work, all that stuff comes, comes first. So you should not, Natalie, you should not feel bad that you couldn’t record the show. Well, I was possessed by a demon, which I know we’re going to talk about. That’s what was happening. So, so you, you probably don’t get this reference, but are you saying the devil made you do it or in this case not doing the devil with 840 horsepower made me do it. Yes.
So anyway, we’ve got a full contingent of women to do chick chat now. So we have, we’ve had Wendy, uh, we, we got you recently, like probably what, six weeks ago or something that you actually joined the show. Did the interview and stuff. And then, uh, during one of the round table, uh, uh, shows, uh, Janet, uh, who was, uh, came out to the fourth annual G talk show event. I made comment on the round table about looking for women to be on the show. And she goes, Oh, I’d love to do that. So nobody has, has heard from Janet yet because she hasn’t done a recording with us yet. Uh, but she’s going to be on the chick chat. And here recently, most recently, like, um, like Saturday, I think it was, uh, I ran across a lady on tick talk who is a former state trooper. Oh, cool. Yeah. Of Mississippi. And, uh, she was let go because of an incident, uh, that, uh, she’s actually litigating and, uh, that, that I think it’s going to wind up in her getting her job back. Oh, good. And, um, so, uh, she’s a jeeper and she’s a state six years as a state trooper. And I think she will have some really interesting, um, views on, um, the public. Absolutely. Not only, uh, off-road stuff, but to honor it. Actually, she hasn’t been off-road with her Jeep. Oh, so this is a, this is a great perspective. It is. And I told her not to worry about the, uh, if she has questions, because she will be asking questions that other people either don’t want to take the time to call in or write into the show, uh, but she can ask those questions for those newbies, which we love, we love new people. And one of the reasons why we’re doing this show is so we can entertain, but also to answer some questions to encourage you to get off-road. Absolutely. From the pavement Queens to the trail Kings, we’re all here.
All right. So we want you to join the wave. Toledo Jeep Fest is coming the annual event, August 2nd through the fourth downtown, uh, Toledo kick things off with the glass city crawler block party on Friday night. Start the fun Saturday with the YARQ all Jeep parade. Do you know what a YARQ is? I don’t. I should have asked them if I was a misspelling. I did too. I was like, uh, so YARQ, we need to hear from you.
All Jeep indoor exhibit, the park and shine car show and the vendor midway live music, delicious food. I understand delicious food very, very quickly and easily. That one. I know that one. Lots of fun for the entire family. This is, they just need to stay away from me. I don’t like people being around me when I feed more than 1500 Jeeps from off-road warriors to historic classics will be in, will be front and center as Jeepers invade downtown Toledo. More details at Toledo Jeep Fest.com. And you said you were saying that you, there may be some high lift off-road vehicles there. Yeah. Um, Mike tries to go. He went last year as a guest with Bill Stein, um, and took a little twin actually, cause she, she has Bill Stein a 100s. So, um, he might take that one again. Not sure or big twin. Uh, just depends. So if he goes great, I hope to see, we can see everybody up there. And you’ve never been there, right? I have. And I’m always out of town that weekend. So maybe next year, if I don’t do the family vacay, which I hope I do guys, no offense, do you guys, and I don’t want to get too personal. You just say pass. Do you, do you go to the same place every year for the family vacation? Every year, Cape Cod, every year, family friends come in from Boston and Texas, actually from Houston. Um, and we actually, that’s why I built my Jeep the way I did because I was taking it on the national seashore up there. So, uh, is there a food, a specific food that you, again, it goes back to the delicious food deck. Is there a specific food that you guys look forward to or maybe you look forward to when you’re in Cape Cod? All the lobster. You guys, you guys say lobster, like the lobster, um, any preparation possible, kind of like a forest got moment from the rolls to the poaching to the big stuff I can just keep going. So, yeah, it’s like seafood is really what you want. Yeah. Yeah. So I think I went to Boston for a, an IT, uh, one of those training courses that you go to, but this is back in the nineties and, uh, I was able to have a clam chowder, uh, from the, the, the company that provided clam chowder, chowder for the Reagan inaugural. Oh, wow. Inauguration or something. Yeah. It was good. It was very good. Oh, I’m sure. Yeah. But, uh, so yeah, I love seafood.
All righty. So you can’t eat clam chider, but if you put it on top of your Jeep, you can see it if you go with G tops, you can go topless every time you drive your Jeep. No worries about rain, snow, or cold. Uh, now that’s not possible. You say it is with G tops seeing clearly through, uh, through the freedom top panels is simple with G tops. G tops isn’t just another, do you notice how many times I got G tops in here? I’m saying G tops, G tops, G tops.
Isn’t just another pretty face. G top is a patented system that has been around since 2008, 2008. That is, uh, let’s see that we started in 2010. So they’ve been around two years longer than this show. They’re trusted now. They should be. Uh, G tops actually Chris, the owner used to do T tops, uh, for the, like the Camaros and stuff way back, you know, in the, in the eighties and things. So he, he knows about tops. Anyway, G tops block 90. Yeah. 99% of the UVA and UVB rays impact modified acrylic makes for a quiet and cool cabin, uh, computer model to keep Jeep crash test specs regulated by law. G tops comes with pop in sunshades. G tops makes your freedom tops. Oh, E M plus. I love that because it’s like, it doesn’t, it literally looks like something that came from the factory, uh, but doesn’t. Yeah. But it, but it didn’t come with a factory, but you, you, you, you trust it from the factory. Otherwise you wouldn’t have bought that vehicle, uh, for Jeep. So this is, this is important to me. I love stuff that is people look at it and they go, Oh, what did you come out with that? You know, and, and, and that’s what you’ll get with G tops is just, it really is neat. So the G tops come with a five year or 50,000 mile limited warranty, whichever one comes first, how much does it cost to have your freedom tops modified into G tops? It’s about $1,200. Uh, and it’s available for JKs, JLs and JTs get, uh, your, the hell is that? Get your hits.
That’s weird. I mean, you know, I have trouble. I have enough trouble reading anyway. And then when there’s something in there that makes no sense and then I wrote this so I don’t know. I know.
That’s okay. Oh, this is, this is something I added today. That’s why, uh, I was copying and pasting. Uh, let me just read this real quick. Get your, get yours. Ah, now I’ve got it. So here we go.
I’m just going to start here. Uh, the G tops is about $1,200 since available for JKs, JLs and JTs. Uh, get yours period. It’s like having T tops for your Jeep.
All kinds of troubles happen when you miss a period Natalie, fearful, and it can be a joyful moment. Just depends.
See more, see more with G tops on the, for your Jeep, JK, JL or JT. Go to G tops.com right now. And that’s J E E T O P S.com. It’s now and right now.
We got through that one guys.
You see my confusion though, cause it’s like, I’m not serious. Just a, just a period. Punctuation means I’m from doing the social media with high lift and everything. It’s, I mean, and there’s times like I miss and I still don’t see it or well, we do the words, we do the words so often and you just, you’re busy. You’re multitasking, which multitasking is a lie, but still, and then this happens, so anyway, get yours. It’s like having T tops for Jeep. Do you know what T tops are? I was having this discussion with Chris earlier today. I remember the firebird days. Yeah.
I had a, I had a, an 82, uh, I rock Z Camaro with T tops that leaked. And I think that’s what everybody remembers about the T tops. It wasn’t that a nineties thing or eighties thing too. It was so cool. Those T tops are really neat. This is the idea of being able to look out and I was telling Chris today when we were talking about making this modification to the, uh, to the, the, the ad, I said, I think the T tops is a good reference. Uh, but I think it may be a, there might be an age barrier to people. Now. Yeah. The people that know what T tops are, because I don’t think there’s been T tops on anything since the nineties.
Not even the Corvettes. I don’t know. I don’t know. Yeah. But anyway, uh, it, they really are nice. I really liked it. And I was telling you earlier, uh, Jeep top show Chris, the guy that sets up a lot of the interviews and does our show notes. Uh, he has a set of G tops on his new to him gladiator and he’s just blown away. He thinks they’re just so nice. And he’s waiting for his, his, his actual G tops to have the, the G top treatment done to it, uh, his freedom panels. I should say have the G top treatment done to it and then he’ll have his own. But right now he has loaners. Uh, and that’s another thing you guys should know if you’re, uh, if you’re concerned about, uh, driving around in your Jeep without freedom panels, uh, just you check out the website, G tops.com. And they’ll, they have a loaner program, uh, that, uh, you can have tops while you’re waiting and actually experienced the, uh, have the G top, uh, experience while you’re waiting, which is kind of cool. So your loaner is an actual G top. Yes. Oh, I didn’t realize that that’s even, that’s even better. Oh yeah. You start, you didn’t realize that as soon as the box comes in and now you have the box to send your, your freedom panels in. Right. I knew that part that, and I think that’s just such a genius way to handle the process because it really does make it easier for that consumer or for the customer. So, um, go G tops the win. I love you. You get to experience it right away. Yeah. I, again, I’m really looking forward to you seeing some of these cause you, you haven’t seen them directly. You haven’t seen any in person. Have it? I have not. So, uh, if you go to the next four Fest event or any of the events in the, in the, the general area where, uh, uh, Jeep talk show, Chris lives, the, he goes to, you’ll be able to see his, uh, I want him to come here too. I need to get him, I need to get him on this side of the river. Yeah. He would, I’m sure he would love to come down and check out the, uh, the whole, uh, the shoot match, talk to a Mike and, uh, yeah, absolutely. He he’s a good talker. He talks a lot better than me. He’s a good in person talkers. We’re really worth the best part of it is the best part for us. Yes.
Gladiator.
My name is gladiator.
Gladiator’s.
Gladiator.
So I don’t know if we should have the, are you not entertained? Because there may be people, people saying, no, I’m not entertained at all. What’s the, that’s kind of a negative for the show. No, but that movie is about to, they’re doing a remake. Oh, that’s so sad. I know, but it looks really good.
So you saw the movie gladiator, right? I did. Yes. Could you tell that the Coliseum was kind of small? I kind of got the feeling that it was kind of small. It wasn’t the full size because they constructed that for the, for the movie. Oh, I don’t think I realized that part. Yeah. If you watch, I was a little young when it came out, I watched it later on. Did you, did you, did you, did you watch it with permission or were you watching gladiators too young an age? My mom’s not going to like this, but she always made sure she took my brother and I to rate our movies. Oh, my mom did too. Yeah. She, she was like, you guys are like, we’re together. It’s thick. You know, it’s not real. It’s going to be okay. And that’s probably why I turned out the way I did. So I did not know this until I was an adult. I’m trying to think that I’m not sure if I knew this before my mom passed. But I did not know that the, one of the reasons why I got pulled into like jury duty from Baytown is about 20 miles from Houston. So if my mom had jury duty and she got picked for jury duty, she would take me out of school and take me to jury duty with her. And she actually was on a case. She got picked for a case. So I was out of school for like for a week and a half or something. And it was a I don’t know if it was a murder case. I think it was a murder case. And so I got to see everything that was going on, even when they do, they would take the jury out. And it was a very good experience from the learning the, you know, seeing the legal system actually operate. And so I think the guy got 40 years, uh, that was in that, that trial. Uh, but anyway, I found that my, my actual life, that’s my, that’s what my dad and I do. Yeah. Exactly. Um, so, uh, the, the thing I found out later was is the reason why I got taken to movies, even though I had a dad all my life up until the age of 24,
my mom, he wouldn’t go places, the movies and things. So she would drag me.
And I found out late later she has agoraphobia.
She had a hard time going anyplace by herself.
So I think that’s the reason why I went to R rated movies. I saw the sweet reason. My mom just wanted to go to the movies with us and she just wanted to see everything. That’s a really sweet reason.
So, uh, I saw, I remember seeing like the worst movie I ever remember seeing in a theater was, uh, they kill horses, don’t they? And it was a, it was a movie about them dancing on a floor and they couldn’t go to sleep or they would take breaks, but they had to stay up for a long time. And whoever was left dancing, uh, would win this prize or something. It was a Jane Fonda and another guy. Yeah, it just wasn’t very good. So, uh, from the title to the description, Tony, I just know, not, not good, not good for a nine year old. And, and, but, but if there was some too racy, uh, scenes like nudity or something, the hand would come over my eyes. And any, right? Yeah.
So, uh, speaking of being possessed by a demon mother, uh, you were possessed by a demon here recently. Was it this, this past weekend or, uh, it’s like Sunday, Monday. Yep. Yep. Uh, I was invited by a local group called since he jeep scene, uh, to do some filming, um, for what’s called the Jeep mega meat. That’s going to benefit our local free store food bank. Um, but I don’t have a Jeep right now. Uh, so I reached out to a good friend of mine named his name is Brent Hensley with Bill sign. And I thought, well, he could just come and I’ll ride passenger with him. No. Uh, he was kind enough to say, well, Natalie, my son has football practice. Just come get it. So I said, are you sure only once? And it was already in the little Chevy spark, go on to get it. So real quick, I thought, because Pam, sure our listeners are curious about why you don’t have a Jeep right now. And I think it’s okay to say this. I’ll mention this. So you were racing for pinks, you lost,
and now you’re doing legal action to get it back. So the two 75 loop race, if you’re from Cincinnati, you might know what that is. My Bailey does. Uh, yes, I lost it in the pinks race.
You know, there’s people out there. Do you get the pinks reference, right? Pink slips. Okay. Yeah. Oh yeah. Now you’re just having some modifications then. So are you going to be spoiled after, uh, tell us what this Jeep, you said a demon, what, it’s not mad. It’s got a special upgrade. It does. So it does have the America’s most wanted demon engine in it, which is an 840 horsepower. Um, and it is a combination build with them and Bill Stein. Um, and just as a reminder, we do have a bill sign Midwest headquarters here in this area out of, uh, Hamilton, which is pretty great Hamilton, Ohio. So, um, so if you’re in Toledo, Jeep Fest, just keep on coming down three more hours and Bill Stein’s right down the road. Three more hours. Around the corner, just around the corner off the ends of the state. But, um, you know, I’m very lucky to have Brent in this area and he does so much good for the community. Um, and he also travels with his gladiator to all the different events and he was out at Easter Jeep. Um, and he does run some sticky Mickey’s. That was my first experience running sticky Mickey’s, uh, their nickname, the tractor tires, cause of how wide they are. Um, it was parked out in front of my house. I live in the city. And at one point, I was like, wow, this, does this Jeep make my house look small? Like, Oh my gosh, it looks like you just fit in the trunk. Were random men showing up at your door wanting to know more about the Jeep? I did meet neighbors I’ve never seen before and I’ve lived here for five years and I was like, Oh, so now I meet you. Um, but it was a very neat experience. I got to do some rolling footage, um, across some of the bridges here in Cincinnati. I’ve never got to film anything like that before. Um, and it’s all to help a, uh, you know, a really great local charity here in Cincinnati. So I’m excited to see the footage. What was that charity again? You mentioned it, but, uh, yeah, it’s called the free store food bank and they are selling ducks actually. So ducks and Jeeps, those go hand in hand, uh, for what’s called a, the rubber duck regatta here in Cincinnati. So sales started on July 1st, they end September 1st and normally they would put them all in a big shipping container and dump them in the river during our big river fest weekend of, of her labor day. But unfortunately they can’t do that right now cause some structural damage on our bridge that they normally do it from. So now it is a virtual, but if you go to the free store food bank.com, I know it’s so essentially one duck feeds one child. So $5 a duck feeds one, one child in Cincinnati and beyond. How do you chew a rubber duck? That’s the thing that confuses me. I mean, even if you put food in the inside, how do you, how do you crack that thing open? Right. Um, and what’s cool about their ducks, they do have a unique, all their ducks have sunglasses on them, which I think it’s pretty cool. So, um, I think Alison would really like what they do. Oh, I’m sure. Yeah. Yeah. Such a shame. And I think everybody knows this, but Alison, the lady that started the duck duck Jeep thing had passed away about a month or so ago and it’s a, it was really surprising. Um, so yeah, it was.
All right. So you got to drive, you got to drive the demon and how was it driving that spark once you got to drive the demon? It was, I felt like I was deflated. The spark was very gone. Um, you know, he, Brent was so kind of goes, Oh, Natalie, just keep it for the night. And I was like, Nope, I’m going to bring it back. I’m going to bring it back. Just take the fruit away. The chocolate away. Um, so yeah, get it back. $200,000 vehicle, right? Yeah. And that’s all you had to do is just park it at your house. Yeah. In the city. No drag ways. I think you nothing against anybody, but I think you dodged a an insurance fraud situation.
Just take it to your house. Isn’t it? Right? What’s your, what’s your homeowner’s insurance? My garage barely fits the twins in it. So I wasn’t going to attempt that one. So yeah, but it was, you know, I will say it was a really smooth ride. Thanks to Bill Stein. Um, but it was, it was just the feeling and that sound and you have that, that wine, you hear the wine wind up. And, um, I did have a hellcat with me as well. The Americans was one at hellcat. Um, so it was neat to have a side by side and hearing those two different engines cause they really do sound different. Um, and there might’ve been a drag race moment.
Virtual virtual drag race. Yeah, it was virtual. Like the ducks. Um, so there goes action sports. Big fan of them. Uh, they’re locally here since snotty and they’re a high lift field, which is kind of cool. But, um, yeah, so it was a really neat experience. I was really, I feel very lucky. Thank you, Brent Hensley. Please give them a follow. So so in the virtual drag race with the 840 horsepower, uh, and I’m sure that’s a, at the flywheel, uh, horsepower, uh, but, and but still substantial at the wheels. Um, when you, I would assume that in a virtual again, drag race, you hit the gas pedal, you press it all the way to the floor.
You know, I really didn’t to be honest. That was my question. I was thinking that you might break it Lewis real easy. No, I mean, it went, it was so straight and, uh, Brent, please don’t, it’s going to be okay. I promise it was fine. Uh, but I mean, it even has paddle shifters. Um, I did not use those. I mean, this was for only a second. Everybody. Um, I was a guest in this Jeep’s a driver seat, but, um, it was, I still got that feeling. I got to feel it. Um, and it was, there’s a lot. So you were concerned based on driving it that you did not want to give it full pedal because that’s what everybody’s going to do. I did. Yeah, I didn’t want to admit. And I think if Brent would have been with me to walk me through that process, absolutely. But, um, so what you do is you turn on the rear locker so that you can get power down on both evenly on both wheels. Cause that’s where lockers came from. We’re from the drag strip. Uh, yeah. And I would even say that they’re, they were like air lockers or mechanical lockers. They were probably schools or something that was locked all the time because you’re going straight. You don’t need to turn. And if you need to turn, you can chirp all day long. It doesn’t matter. Cause you’re not driving an oval. So you turn on the rear air locker. Uh, you could do front and rear if you’re, if you’re in four wheel drive, but there’s no reason to do that. Uh, real rear wheel locker on point it straight, pedal down and go. And, but you do have to be careful that they would, but with the locker, you’re going to have more traction and less likely for it to get squirrely on you while you take off. Uh, but I’m not saying it wouldn’t cause you can, with enough horsepower, you can get squirrely with, with two large tires with fully engaged. Yes, you can. But yeah, so I used to, I used to do this on with my, uh, my, uh, XJ, I had a MP two 42 in it, which is a part time. Let’s see. No, full time four wheel drive. Uh, it splits it between front and rear. So you can, so you can still drive in four wheel drive and make turns and stuff because it’s not locked. Uh, the front and rear axle aren’t locked together. And when it was raining outside, it was very wet. And I got the feeling that the person next to me was going to be a problem. Uh, I would put it in four wheel drive high and then, I mean, there’s not a whole lot of horsepower from a 4.0, but if you’re next to a high horsepower vehicle or they think they do and they take off fast, I guarantee you I’m going to accelerate faster because I’m not spinning and it was so much fun.
Four wheel high punch it and then, you know, get down the street and I could, I could drive in four wheel high all the time with that MP two 42. Yeah. Uh, but anyway, uh, yeah. So, uh, as you, yeah, as you might, and I’m no expert on this, I’ve never done this, uh, but I used to have a lot of fun with, uh, with fast cars when I was younger. And I’ve, I’ve mentioned this before, somebody was going to die because I just love going fast. It wasn’t going to me me cause I’m a, you know, I’m a mortal. But I switched over to trucks and then got into jeeps. So, but I still like driving fast. Exactly. I will say this, that Bill’s sign gladiator does have dropdown steps. So I really did appreciate the dropdown cause I can get in it so much easier. Well, tell the Pete, tell the folks, how tall are you? I’m only five two, but I have a six foot personality.
All right. We have an interview coming up this Friday, tomorrow actually, uh, with Todd Henderson of realtruck, realtruck.com. I think I’ve asked you before, Natalie, are you, are you aware of realtruck.com? They have purchased everybody in front. In fact, I’m surprised they haven’t purchased you guys yet. I know, right? They have a lot of businesses that you, uh, you recognize off the top of my head, uh, uh, Husky, uh, the people that do the formats and stuff, they, they have Husky, uh, who’s, who’s another one. There’s another big one, uh, that, uh, go Rhino. They have some really nice products. Go Rhino has a lot of nice products. Uh, they’re, they’re part of real trails today. Yeah. They’re stuff rails. Yeah. They’re there. They have some really nice products. We did some, uh, some interviews, uh, with various products when they were out at SEMA in 2023, part of the Jeep talk show team. And anyway, uh, realtruck is an advertiser here on the Jeep talk show. They advertise with us every other month and we really appreciate their support. It helps keep the talk show going. So, uh, please reach out to realtruck.com. Go with their visit, their site. You will be amazed of all the stuff that they have there. And it’s not just for Jeeps. Uh, they have all kinds of, I mean, it’s real truck. So there’s other stuff there for your, your truck as well.
Yeah. Hence the name. All right. So let’s get into the must have stuff for your Jeep. And we’re letting Natalie pick this one again this week. I know guys. I mean, it’s kind of fitting, isn’t it? Uh, so we mentioned earlier, you know, how do you keep your drinks and food cold, especially right now? Um, so Tony, what do you do? I pull in every time I get down to half a tank and walk in to the store. And I like that, uh, cucumber, lime Gatorade. It’s really, it’s really weird, but it’s good.
Well, if you want to buy a six pack of that, um, and take it to your Jeep, we have definitely the solution for everyone. And that is with the rough country portable refrigerator freezer. And it’s actually a 12 volt and an AC one 10. So you can plug it in at home, charge it overnight and then transfer it over in the morning to that, uh, AC, uh, plug-in and you have cold beverages from just a normal refrigerator to a freezer all day long. And actually I keep one in our big twin. We call her all the time. Like it’s literally in there all the time. And with all the events we’ve been doing lately, it’s so nice to know. I already have a full fridge, cold waters, and Gatorades ready to go. Um, so I definitely recommend them. My wife and I had had that when we went to Easter Jeep safari because that would have been very, very nice. And I don’t know if it really depends on how it’s set up, but generally speaking, the 12 volt system is the best way to go in your vehicle because you have power losses and draws if you try to do to an inverter. Uh, so it’s wonderful that it does both. Cause if you have it in the house, you can pre chill it before you take it out to your vehicle and then put it in, which I always recommend. Um, and then you’re good to go. And so that’s something that it’s, it’s really transformed. I think wheeling in this area especially, but wheeling just because you don’t have ice, you know, melting and then water coming around. I know I lost my cooler before I got there. The fridge, um, it went tumbling around in the back of the Jeep waters going everywhere. And you know, so with this, it’s heavy enough to where you do have to be with a bungee system. It’s really easy to secure in the back of your Jeep or in the middle seat. Some people even put in the front seat cause I know I wheel a lot as just a solo person, um, in the rig. I never wheel alone. Um, but it’s all put in my front seat and kids right there. I mean you can just grab a and put it back and keep it cold. It makes perfect sense. Absolutely. So maybe I don’t want a passenger. So that’s a great way to keep people from sitting. Oh, this is, this would be a great thing to take on an airplane when you don’t want somebody sitting next to you. Yes, exactly. And you know, they weigh it just about as much as a Yeti 35. Um, so they’re, they’re not super light, but definitely it’s, it’s, it’s manageable by someone that’s only five two. So, um, we do offer these guys just, you know, at high lift.com, if you search rough country, um, it’ll come right up and we are offering, um, a discount right now, a little incentive. So normally retail is $399 and 95 cents, but we’re going to offer it for a cool $349 and 95 cents. So that’s like a hundred dollars off.
It’s been over $50, but I like your math Tony 13% savings, but, um, no, no code necessary. Um, high lift loves cheap talk show. So thank you so much guys. Thank you for listening. That’s really, really cool. No pun intended. And they’re red too. Oh, perfect. Well, that’s, that’s, we all know firecracker, red. Yeah, that’s fine. That’s rough countries color in it is a, it’s red. It is. They do come in blue as well, but we do, we, we like the red ones cause you can see it and you can see them. Uh, that’s interesting too. I haven’t been to the rough countries website in quite a while. And that’s interesting that they’ve, they’ve got into this, but I think there’s diversification is always a good idea. And that’s kind of what, that’s kind of like what hotlift does, right? I mean, you have, uh, you guys have a lot of products, kind of like a one-stop shop. We are, we are. You, if you dream it, we’re going to build it and have it.
Sell it, mama sell it. I’m trying.
Come see us guys. I don’t care where you live.
Yeah. Cause you guys actually get Jeeps a ship to you. We do. And do you guys just do Jeeps or do you, are you doing the Broncos and the other things? And trucks. Yep. Very cool. And forerunners and TRXs. We do it all. Natalie, I have some bad news. No.
You know, it’s always a little sad when we hit the end of the trail, just like the end of the show, we’re all, but there’s always a trail ride just down the road.

Uh, this, we’re going to be here again week after week and I’m actually delaying cause I don’t have the little thing up where I can play the ending. So, so if you want to say something right now, that’d be really good. Do you want me to tell a joke? I’ll tell a joke. You wanted to tell a joke earlier. I did. I did guys. It has to be a dad joke. So go ahead. It is. And we all know I do like cats, right? So, um, how does a cat like it’s steak prepared, Tony?
I don’t know. Do cats eat steaks? Uh, mine do. And they like them rare.
I’m so funny.
Okay. We gotta go.
You know, I didn’t get that the first time cause I, cause I said meow. And I thought that’s, I thought I got it really close to the thing. And now when you said rare, I was like, Oh, okay. Hopefully Mike Bailey listens to this episode because this is a good one. Well, you guys keep badgering him about listing. Yeah, you gotta listen. You gotta listen. You gotta listen. And he goes, I’m not listening. Damn it. Just because you told me to pretty much. He’s next to come on though. Hopefully. Good. Yeah. Thank you, Tony.
