Since I bought my Jeep Gladiator in 2019, I've been dreaming of putting a V8 in it, putting it on 40 inch tires with 1 ton axles, and just making the ultimate go anywhere overland rig. Today, 3 years later, we make that a reality.

Whats the work around to download and us the app on a iphone if you live in Canada?
@@HarrisonWaterSports no work around for iPhone, only android for now.
I know it’s all about the Jeep experience, but, the Ginger’s cinematic presence cannot be overlooked. 🤙
I second that motion 💯🤙
Facts
🤣🤣well said, couldn’t agree more!
I like your choice Shaun, that would definitely be my engine of choice as well! Still a monster with power but less parts to fail when you're in the middle of nowhere and you won't empty your fuel tank in 2 hours haha
Nah... You need boost in 10k+ elevation - I would prefer it in 7k+. Once you have 1.5+ bars on tap, you're not worried about elevation changes. Superchargers are OEM on a TON of 'important' vehicles these days and have been proven dead-nuts reliable. Just breaks more parts because of the off-idle torque. The old roots blowers are what caused that mindset that they're not reliable. With computers and modern manufacturing methods, your chances of breaking a supercharger are about the same as losing the bottom rotating assembly.
I love how you did the whole build all in one video! Rig looks killer!
Thanks! I didn’t want to drag it out too long. Just getter done and out doing some adventures.
I like it too!
I prefer GROWL over WHINE
I’m 43 and I giggle like a 5 year old ever time I get in my Rubicon 392 and hear that Hemi growling under the hood. Nice build, can’t wait to see it out in the wild. 👍👍
This is so awesome. Can’t wait for you to take this out on the trails. I love the growl over the whine. Way more functional and usable.
Awesome build Shaun! Didn't even realize AMW offered the custom Dana60's for it, but makes a lot of sense. I think the 426 is the perfect balance of power and reliability for what you do. Congrats!
Thanks 👍
This is awesome, and I definitely think you made the right choice going with the engine you did. I wouldn’t want to worry about the supercharger.
Can't wait to see it out on the trails! Rig looks great, and the Ginger is a madman. Don't think anyone can hold back a smile driving a Hemi.
Super stoked about the build! Of all the ridiculous UA-camr jeep builds I think you will actually use it to its full potential. Excited to see the videos in the hopefully very near future of you pushing it.
That's the plan!
That thing is badass! sounds incredible and they did a great job putting it all together! Can't wait to see it out on the trail.
Super cool build. I like the 392 426 swaps. I don’t care for all the extra coolers and pluming the 6.2 supercharger comes with. Great video!!
I have my UD 60's sitting in my garage as we speak. waiting on my Nitto Trail Grappler 40's to arrive before starting the install. I really wish I had a shop because these crates are awesome, and would make good part bins.
Ginger & the boys did a great job. Jeep looks amazing!! You had a smile ear to ear. 😂. Can't wait to see it in action. 👍☃️
Can't wait!
What a sweet motor and what a crew. Hats off to epic for this built.
Thanks!
The sound it’s amazing! We will enjoy this beautiful sound on the next roads! Congratulations for this great modification!🎉
Awesome build! Can’t wait to see it in action on some trails!
Super. Ordered the metal cloak. Lift and 38s going on next week
Right on
Love those 40" tires. I can only imaging when aired down, how nicely they'll wrap around and grip rocks.
Natural aspirated V8, my favorite! ❤️
Can't wait to se it on the trail!
thats awesome bro, congrats, this is a Beast now
Thanks!
Metalcloak makes the best lifts the best bolt on armor etc
Love the videos bro! Can’t wait to see this bad boy on the trail
Merry Christmas Shaun! Super cool build!
Thanks! You too!
Awesome build! I am hoping to get those bumpers soon on my gecko, although probably going with the bit wider aluminum adventure series front bumper.
Awesome job! Hope I get to see it in person on the local trails one day. Happy Holidays!
Thanks! You too!
Badass! Can’t wait to see videos of it on the trail
Man I love seeing this channel grow and I'm excited to where this new build is going to take you. Congrats on the "new" ride!
Thank you!
What a rig ! Absolutely a beast ! Safe travels.
So cool to see this build take off. So excited to see the Trail Destroyer take on some tough trails
Oh holy fright! That sound sent chills down my spine! Absolutely wicked
My dream truck, I'm living vicariously through you Sean and your episodes can't wait to see the trail destroyer in action!!!
Talk about livin the dream… that’s one sweet rig brother. Can’t wait for your next video!
I wish I was rich enough to afford a swap like this. I love my Mojave, got it in Gobi last July but miss having that V8 power of a full size truck. Congrats on the new build!
That thing is a beast, dude! RIP BC trails, RIP.
I watched this for the soul purpose of seeing Ginger bless the union of Motor and Frame.
Dude i wanna see this rig and eddies wayalife rig on the same video, that would be a dope collab!
Such a stout build! Look forward seeing this in action! 🤟
Can't wait to see your adventures on this rig. 😃👍
Thank you for another interesting video. I didn't realize that Jeep Gladiator has so much capacity and room for mods and tuning. Awesome rig! It replaces Land Cruiser 79 series in my dream list. It would be interesting to see 4Bt diesel engine swap or something similar.
Thanks for watching!
You made some impressive changes to that Jeep.
I'm glad you guys can do this kind of work.
That hemi will post some awesome 0-60 numbers.
I'm thinking I would personally go for the turbo diesel option. It puts out 440 pounds of torque so I suspect it comes from the factory with stronger axles that wouldn't need to be changed out.
I'd go for the diesel too.
Nice build ❤ love the content 😊
I would love to know what the price tag would be If someone walks into EAO and asks for a build like Shaun I’m sure you could do a price break down video on this topic.
Can’t wait to to see the new rig in action.
Casey's older Jeep Eco-Diesel was $100K with accessories 3-4 years ago, probably $200K for the recent Demon. I'd say Shaun is in for $150K+ with the engine/axle package & install.
I like that you went with the 426. That's the direction I'm leaning if I ever get the chance.
Real nice. Can’t wait to see you on the trail with it. You have to get the bed linexed.
Great job on the video. Looking forward to more to come.
Thank you!
I can see the VI's already for the wheels being wider than the flairs. They have been cracking down on that pretty much everywhere in the lower mainland the couple of years. It is a great looking rig though.
Don't forget the beadlocks. BC's MVA doesn't allow for those either.
The hydro-assist is legal because it still uses a drag link but it's a grey area that some uninformed 5-0 will ding you for.
Yes finally seeing the Next Venture bumper in textured black! Looks even better than raw
As cool as this is, it just seems like it’d be a hinderance to what you actually do. My 2 door with the 3.6L (smaller tank, I know) is always needing fuel after wheeling. For the first time in 20 years of wrangler ownership, I’m considering bringing extra fuel on trail days. Are you adding a big extended range tank?
I will be adding extra fuel storage, but it’s really not as bad as you’d think.
@@TheStoryTillNow that’s good to know… I’d like to hear about fuel usage as you figure it out.
awesomeness!! Cant wait to see you out on the trails with it! One question, the rear swaybar looks precarious behind the axle. . .
Temporary, it’s getting an antirock in a week or two.
@@TheStoryTillNow Smart. Anti Rocks are the only way to go.
the smile on your face from the passenger seat......I can only imagine what must be going through your mind, "soon I will be driving this everyday!"
congrats!!!!
It's really fun. I can't wait to see what it can do on the trails.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you guys are so funny! You need to cook a meal for Ginger next trip out to thank him for all his hard work!😊
You guys and Epic Outfitters make great videos. The Ginger is awesome!!!
Youve defiantly earned this truck! Can't wait for you to take us all for a ride! Needs a new name. I think normal aspiration was a good choice.
Congratulations on the upgrade! Many grins and giggles with the new horsepower. Any issues with wider axles and tires not tucked under fenders now for on road driving?
Only if I get caught.
Good call on the non supercharged but still, that Mojave...ish is righteous!
Solid content as always Shaun.
that's the perfect choice, I had a 3rd gen 4runner... i'm thinkin about doing a swap with a v8 tundra engine in it.. It'll be the perfect power to weight ratio for it.
Saving up for this exact swap in my JT! Very 👍
If I had a Jeep Gladiator I'd honestly build it the exact same way as yours mate. Love your videos and keep them coming.
Thanks 👍
Love the progress. Always enjoy your videos. Didn’t see any one else mention it, but what hat is the ginger wearing?? I’d love one!
Those are Viking horns. He was born with them.
Wow! So sooooo jealous! Shaun you gotta do a meetup soon so we can all see this new monster
I really love the sounds Casey's Demon Mojave makes, but I think your NA build makes a bit more sense for higher elevation off road. Looking forward to the content!
The Ginger definitely has a way with words lol, "aluminum and cutting board" skids made me laugh
Shaun i think you definitely made the right engine choice . The Demon is cool and all but the kind of wheeling you guys do up high and in the middle of no where . Your choice was definitely the smarter and safer choice , and hell who needs more than 600 HP ..
You need to have The Ginger on more, he seems awesome!
He is awesome! I’d love to have him along for more adventures, but he’s pretty swamped building all these cool Jeeps.
New subscriber from Denver Colorado. That's a badass rig! Looking forward to see how it does on the trails.
Awesome! Thank you!
Dang... that’s a beast. Can’t wait till you drive that on you next adventure. 👏👏👏👏
Can’t wait to see what adventures the trail destroyer takes you on!
@ shaun -- instead of the metal cloak reinforcement bracket i'd consider the full extended travel rear kit from teraflex -- i have it and it's great. only thing i'm not sure if it's compatible with dana 60 or if they have a mod for it
It is not compatible unfortunately.
Oh Man that just purrs and the tyres are awesome. The best build so far.
Thanks 👍
Awesome Shaun your Gladiator is Awesome and Now it became even More Awesome
Sweet Jebus man! You'll be unstoppable!!😃
Wow! Congrats!! This is awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
I haven’t really followed the channel much over the past year. And I was watching a video the other day thinking. Man he needs a hemi swap. And what do you know lol. Looks awesome 👏🏻 can’t wait to see it eat some trails
Man, GREAT power for NA… crazy to say, but you made a fantastically practical choice!
Thanks!
Wow that sound 😮
So stoked for you Shaun! Been a long but awesome journey! Truck looks awesome🤘🇨🇦 curious how insurance and stuff works for mods like this
Thanks! Insurance you just add extra insurance for the value of what you would need replaced. Fairly easy, just costs more.
can't wait to see you hoon this thing!
So we're is the Big shack down gonna be . Looks to me that it will get you in more fun than you might want to have ! Have fun figuring out it's limits
Sounds and looks mega, real quality build.
Its crazy all the mods you have done over the years. Not sure what is sponsored or if the shop is doing it for free for publicity. You should do a video on how much you have spent over the years on upgrades, labor costs, on all 3 of your vehicles. Awesome to see!
I can't get into price specifics because I obviously get a special rate, but I can say it was still expensive and the most expensive thing I've ever done to a Jeep.
This build is so sick! Love it l, the look the power and drive train
Glad you like it!
Superchargers were invented for aircraft precisely for the ability to function at altitude. I'm sure you've got a nice engine there but for anyone making an engine choice, altitude is a reason to choose a supercharger.
Interesting! Mine sucked at elevation, so that’s all I based that on.
Wow the JT is looking awesome great job guys
Thanks 👍
DUDE THE STANCE OF THE TRUCK IS MONSTEROUS 🔥
600+HP, that is a nice V8. With that much power, you should have no problem breaking those new beefy dana60 axles at an inopportune time.
I removed my JT rear sway bar all together at about 5k miles. 25k after that, still can’t notice its gone. Would highly recommend trying it and see if you REALLY need yours with the risk of the damage its caused so many people
We’re doing an anti rock. Otherwise the flex will rip the brake lines out
Love your choice Shawn keep it simple, I found that out when I lived in outback Australia. Next time you see the Ginger Ninja ask him what engine he would put in
Cheers👌🇦🇺
The Ginger has said he would do the 426 as well.
Your truck is totally awesome. You made the rite engine choice 👍
Thanks 👍
Sick build!
Awesome truck brother can't wait to see it on rocks
You and me both!
wow man that's sick, gratz
Thank you! Cheers!
That thing is f’n sweet, good work guys!
Thanks 👍
What a wild build!
Thing sounds dangerous!!
A Coloradan here, wondering why you were worried about forced induction at elevation. Typically that’s our preferred choice due significantly less power loss because you can compensate for lower air density (less oxygen). Not a criticism but really just curious. Also a full build video would be sweet 🤘🏽
Cool story. Cool build.
After the first of the year, my 2012 JKU will be LS-swapped on one-tons and 40s. I cannot wait, either.
Awesome!
Wicked truck! How much does a swap like this even cost? My 4xe Rubicon won't allow it, but just wondering...
Looks badass 😎
I love watching these builds I love watching your bill I love watching KC2 fifties build cause the Ginger makes it so funny like when he speaks and hes assembling everything it's just you gotta love the humor that he adds to your episodes both yours and Casey's the Ginger is definitely how do I say this a comical guy And that Jeep literally is a monster like you said you'll be able to take it anywhere and go anywhere!
Looks like a LOTTO FUN!!!!!!!
