Where to buy a built Gladiator

[Flux 72]

I'm in the Jeep mind frame again and am looking to find an already built Jeep Gladiator or JL. What are the best websites to check? I'm in Austin, TX but am open to further options. I've checked Forbid exchange and they have a few options. Just trying to see what else is out there. Thanks for any suggestions.

You can have mine in a few years or now for the right price. This is not an offer to sell.

What do you consider a “built Jeep”?
There’s SoFlo Jeeps in Florida ( too much bling for most)
There’s AMW in the upper mid west ( big engines and the stuff to make it work)
There‘s AEV as well ( This is some of the best kit IMHO)
In Canada There’s Epic Adventure Outfitters.

Two dealerships near me to AEV and even "dealer built" Jeeps - some of them are pretty darned nice, but you pay their rate for the labor!

I believe it's $180/hour for one of them, not sure about the other.

IMHO, best turn key is a AEV built Jeep.

I think depends on your need, budget and timeline.

A rig on Dana 60’s, 40’s and a hemi? AMW or a speciality shop, Rubitrux is also reputable from my understanding.

A mostly turn key rig for mild wheeling but not fully breaking the bank? Dealers will sometimes unfit and stock some mildly built rigs either stock axels, bigger tires, a lift and some glam camping accessories.

Something more than just budget to moderate upgrades in terms of lift and tires with a full turn key warranty with some swag on top? Look at AEV.

Check out the online auction places like
Bring A Trailer
Cars and Bids.

BAT seems to have them more often.

Depends on what a "built" jeep means to you. Do you just want a lift and tires, mall crawler bling, average off roading, or extreme rock crawling?

New Pre-built will always be stupid expensive because they charge you exorbitant amounts on labor (or Aev who charges exorbitant amounts on labor and is extremely proud of their average stuff). If you don't want to diy, id find a jeep shop local and then just order parts and have them install it, will still be cheaper than pre-built and you can pick what you want. Other option is to find a private sale of a Pre-built jeep you like, usually gives you a good discount on parts and labor but you're also getting a used Jeep that did who knows what.

Facebook Marketplace has them from time to time… there are several groups for this purpose (parts and/or vehicles).

IMO, your best option is to find a top notch jeep shop near you, have them start looking for a donor vehicle, and build it up to your / their specs. Finding one "built" locks you into someone else's idea of what is "good or right" and inevitably leads to redoing thing to your needs. Buy a bone stock vehicle and build it out to your specs.
