Thanks for the quick rundown of all the Gladiator builds. Some really nice rigs to cherry pick ideas from.

FYI, the rack on the on the rig at 5:09 in the vid is made by Sherpa, in Berthoud CO. I swung by their shop when at Overland Expo Mountain in nearby Loveland, and they helped me special order a canopy rack for the top of my SmartCap, and just the back half of the roof rack, which fits nicely behind my Bestop Sundowner so I can go semi-topless in seconds with a roof rack on the back section.

Man there is a lot of money in those builds. The topper by OVS is interesting. Before them RLD was the only stainless topper I think. Its nice to see another stainless option pop up

This video would have been way better if that dude wasn't talking... HAHA!

"These sway bars will help keep these 42s under control" - Huh?
"Jeep royalty with this insane wrap" - Royalty... but you're the only dude that didn't know it was paint?

C'mon man...

Grabs a shackle and says "great access points" - Access to what?

Are you OK? Did this damage you?

It's pretty easy to sit in the comfort of your home or office and search for something to find fault in, but to be rattling off as much as this guy did on the fly seemed pretty impressive to me.

Did he make one or two possible missteps? Probably.
Did he do a phenomenal job otherwise? Hell yeah.

Dana 60/80 truck....that build was topnotch!

Must be a diesel. No way a 3.6L is going to last... Take a 100k Gladiator and put 200k into it. Things of dreams.

My big take on most is are they off-road worthy? 22" rims = mallcrawler. Prove me wrong.

That last one he didn't know, I think is Rugged Ridge.

I emailed them to ask that question. Told me ballpark price was $3200. Distributors will have true numbers.

Hey also the Lite brite Jeep is now painted i know it looks like a wrap but it’s a custom paint job

 

[darksidedesign]

Agreed. He did a bang-up job naming all the components and modifications. Very informative. But watching that was very difficult for me. Clearly his mom never taught him the all important "Look, but don't touch" rule. Or the related "You see with your eyes, not your hands" rule. These people spend days polishing up their vehicles for display. Now they have this guy's fingerprints from bow to stern.

I liked the vid. Cherry Pickers Christmas gift shop! I find myself in agreement with the speaker about some of the weird grill designs. Hey it's a Jeep, and seven is the number...
Great job overall, really enjoyed it.
