[Cpt Adama]

I'm starting this thread as a go to for Gladiator owners or wannabes whom are interested in modding their Gladiator to look like the Jeep Crew Chief 715 Concept. The goal is use this thread to collect all information such as links to products, information, or for pioneers whom customized their Jeep and want to show or detail how they achieved their goal.

DV8 used to have the M715 front coversion kit for the JK. They don't have it on their website anymore, but found this old link.

Would have liked to see that front clip on the gladiator from the factory!

Me too!

enough companies making angry bird grills. Waiting for one to make one that looks like the crew chief concept. Tilts forward and has a top lip that runs level back to the hood.

This is my overall goal though it may take a while. CDM is making the conversion kit for the JT;

Anyone know the tire specs offhand?

They just say it’s a 40 inch tire on a 20 inch rim, that it’s narrow but no specs on the width.

The Jeep Crew Chief used 20-inch beadlock wheels and 40-inch NDT military tires to pay homage to the original Jeep military vehicles. The brand used was STA (Specialty Tires of America), although Firestone makes them as well.

Here is a random link for these tires, no best price checking, just what I quickly found, these are expensive. I have found used ones on eBay for reasonable prices YMMV.

Stacey David did the old style gladiator front end.

It says he got the front hood and grill from here https://www.innovativeautocreations.com/

It doesn't look like they carry it anymore.

Can't remember if this is the same manufacture that did the Kaiser front end kit for the Wrangler, but when I did contact them they said the Wrangler kit would not fit the Gladiator. I believe they are working on a Gladiator version though. I'm sure if and when it's available they would advertise it here.

Looks odd without a grille and the 9” headlights.
