Say IF, I didn’t have a family, mortgage and still lived with my parents….This ride would happen! 🤣. SICK Build fellas! 🤙
When the original Hummer H1 came out, I was plotting the same thing.. was a youngin at the time and even with like 10K down and financed over 10 years (they offerered it), plus insurance would be over $1200 a month (this was the 90s)
Facts
LOL
😂🤣
Respect for looking after your family dude. I myself have a family and most of my money goes there. But I believe doing the right thing, will one day afford me to buy the toys I’ve wanted for long time. IA.
For the price of $196k, I would definitely expect them to start with a more loaded Gladiator. Doesn’t have the 8.4” Screen, doesn’t have Heated Seats. Still a badass toy!
It does have the 8.4" screen. Whatcha talking about??
Looks like the 7" to me
They look similar on video but this one has the 7 inch screen, not the 8.4 Uconnect 4C
@@mannyman4103 It has the 7". Pause at 4:38 and its obvious which screen it has. I have a Mojave with the 8.4" screen. This truck definitely has the 7". Gladiators have 3 options. 5", 7", and 8.4".
The guy in the black jacket who built the Jeep is so knowledgeable and well-spoken. I’m impressed 😁
I mean, $4k for 40” wheels/tires, supercharger $7k, lift $4k, and axles $20k is around $35k. Get a base sport and you can have a 440hp version for $70k. Maybe tune it some more and upgrade the trans and have $80k 500hp version.
.
These are really awesome builds, but $200k for a Jeep is just F-U money.
@@nycmaverick this is for the .1percent
@E C yeah, $80k on a motor/trans swap on a clean vehicle. Yup… 🤦🏻♂️
@@jeffforbes70 Thete absolutely ZERO billionaires looking to purchase a cheap ass gladiator😒……….this can be had by many upper and middle class buyers! 🤷🏽♂️
You forgot the hellcat motor and trans 65k, plus labor for install. $4k lift I would never buy, that means your getting a dog shit lift. You need Evo lift with king shocks easily 10k+ . Good 40" inch tires run about $550 + tax KMC rims are about $500 so thats $6k rims and tires. I have a Magnuson supercharger the kits plus tax is $7800, not including install, So $10k for supercharger (new spark plugs, upgraded pulley, upgraded belt) Plus you will need upgraded ball joints, bump stops. The prices are legit. You're pricing out a mall cruise with dog shit parts.
@@jesusjuice7592 actually I didn’t… I posed an alternative. Apparently you’re lacking reading comprehension skills.
That is soooo sick! I love the Gladiator, but this is a cut above!
You gotta love America! Only here in the USA are things like this possible. It's insane, but I love it!
The guys who build this vehicle know what their doing. GREAT JOB! I wished I had one.Thanks for the video,it’s great seeing what some people with unique talents can build.
not unique or one of kind
Awesome, great job guys.

Live 5 mins away from this company and never knew it existed. That's a helluva gladiator.
Another great video! I have a door JL and feel that a 4 door is too big. A Gladiator for me is a face plant :)
Impressive. Bet this is one fun ride!
I rode in one today. I was super impressed with how it rode and the power.
Andre… before knowing price. Floors it. After finding out it’s 200k. Parks it. 🤣
Smart move.
Steps on the gas "ohh yesss!" Lol
I just want the 5.7 and beefed up axles.
Made me smile just watching this.
That is just epic!!!! And the engineering behind all of it to not only make it work but work reliably is impressive
That was Tempe Arizona you were driving around. Not too far away from me.
I live down the road from America's most wanted and they make the most amazing and fastest jeeps on the planet... Love them
Great review.
If i win the powerball I'll think about getting one. Hahaha.
Does the upgraded axles and suspension change the tow rating at all?
Something tells me most will NEVER see one of these on the road.
Way out of my price range, but very cool.
5:55 yeah... I don't think that he had to get that close to the tail pipe to tell that this was a V8.
He did that cause he had the mic around his neck
it's so the mic picks up the sound better, so we the viewers can get a good listen of that nice V8
Damn! That is awesome!
I'd like to have a 392 with a manual, but my v6 will do
Do you have pull the body off to maintain that engine, too? Looked like no room to reach anything.
Taking out the inner fenders probably gives you all the room you would need
No, it was just easier with the build since they had to pull out everything anyway.
Ok so what can you do with a 96 xj? And I am serious about that. 392 one tons etc? Coil overs you know the whole kit and kabutal?
What a beast..
Looks like they were driving around Tempe Az
What a BEAST!
$196,000 for a Jeep ! 🚙 Wow !🤯
That supercharger is ahannoying!
Wow. Will this Smog in CA?
All that $ in the truck and skimped on hood dampers 😂
Somebody when cheep skipping the hellephant!
Now that's a pumpkin, jeez, that is massive. These things seem thoughtfully engineered.
So cool 😎
Absolutely badass but at 200k I'd say never gonna happen!!
Does the hellcat conversion include Dana 60 and 80 in the 60k turn key price?
no
@@jeffforbes70 thanks.
I want to work at a shop that does these AMW 4x4 builds. Where do I go to do so
I want one of these in tuscardo pink !
I thought the Rivian Truck already Burried the TRX alive Andre😁😁😀
Damn this thing probably cost over 100k, nice truck!
$196k exactly!
That's really interesting that they use an 8hp75. The 8hp75 is what comes in the Ecodiesel Wrangler/Gladiator. I totally would have figured it would have the 8hp90 that comes in the hellcat. Perhaps he was mistaken🤷
That 8hp90 would probably be used with the Hellephant engine.
@@jlv3x not sure honestly. The TRX uses an 8hp95, so even more hardcore than the 8hp90 in the Hellcat. Probably specifically because of the heavier platform that would heat the fluid and work the clutches harder, which this Gladiator is nearly a ton heavier than the Challenger/Charger.
Who knows.
Wicked!!!!
very cool! but no mention of better brakes ? unless I missed it..
They did all the suspension components and axle components, I bet they upgraded those as well, not sure what to but at least the HD truck brakes should be sufficient for any speed the tires limit this to both speed wise and traction wise. Now that would be much more important if the tires were swapped for a much better street tire.
Huge brake rotors on those axles. I’m sure it stops extremely well.
Awesome! You buy this for bragging rights! You buy this for smiles per gallon! 😂 'Murica!!!!
200k? Ummm hell no! Rather have 2 trx lol
Cool
All that money and you don't even get the 8.4 in Radio LOL #dead
My dream sema build is a hellephant swapped gladiator with one ton axles
That went through Barrett at 225k it was the green high liter color
What’s the fastest speed?
198k.. damn!!!
196k fyi. Heck of a vehicle thats for sure. Lost me at 196k though. Curious about the steering though, if full hydraulic I thought that was illegal for street use.
hydraulic asest
👍
They have to do a Cummins conversion
$198k?... Holy Shit. Beautiful truck, though. I have a '21 Gladiator Rubi in Sarge Green that I want 392 swapped with a manual so badly. One day, maybe!
Buy this and have a factory like high level Gladiator or get two GREAT classic vehicles, maybe a Classic Bronco and a International Scout,,,,,, cool Jeep Scrambler, Camaro, or whatever. That $ after exchange here in Canada (the vehicle is inadmissible into Canada anyways) would get you 3 or 4 very nice vehicles. I can think of a 72 Challenger, a 73 Cuda, and a 72 C10 right now with enough for a nice 80s retro as well!! Hahaha.
It looks like an awesome build. Also looks to be very well done. It’s very neat everywhere. It’s a challenge going out there to wheel in the areas that would fully challenge THAT Gladiator and not think of potentially breaking a $200K toy,,,,,,,,,. Ouch!
A scout rock buggy build would be my dream. I can tow it with my less than half power gladiator on D44 axles. Both wouldn’t come close to that price either. LOL
@@KTMcaptain - my dream tooo! I like the way you think!! My current “custom builds are a 2012 Raptor SuperCab that a buddy and I put a Roush Stage 2 supercharger on. It denied at about 580 hp and 590 torque. Very close to Roush claims. It has 196,000 km or so on it,,,, 122,000 miles, so it may have lost a few ponies now. I’m gonna maybe go to 37s on it as well,,,, just because. It will be a poser,,,, my hard off-roading days are done. I still like to fly down prairie trails though!! My other build is a 79 GMC High Sierra short box 4x4 I converted to a stepside and put a 502 that was in a GMC Sprint I bought. It also had a Tremec 5 speed in the Sprint. I pulled that and added a 700R4 and put a short shaft Lokar shifter in it. Looks great and the 350 I pulled from the GMC seems pretty stout. (I didn’t build either motor). The GMC is on 35s with a 6” lift and I’m gonna tame that down to a 3” lift and 33s. (I’m only 5’8” tall and it’s a stool and a jump for me to get in the truck right now!!! Hahaha. Sucks being short!! Heh heh.)
I have a few $$$ more than the cost to build the Gladiator in the video, in my garages and shop,,,,,,. Sitting at about $345,000 in vehicles cost ,ut for now the collection is worth closer to $450,000. My anchor to the collection isn’t even a truck anymore, but a 1967 Chevelle SS 4 speed and I’m the SECOND owner. It has just over 42,000 miles on it. All documented. Made a trade of a 2020 GT500 I found a bit too generic, fast,,,, but it’s still just a modern Mustang. I also received a 2015 Mustang GT in the deal which I sold to a cousin. It’s supercharged now and looking pretty sweet as a custom.
Toys,,,,, make life more fun, but I have maybe too many now. It’s a week long affair doing the oil changes alone!! Heh heh.
Stay safe out there, Eh!!
@@shitloveaduck dang, some nice cars. Wouldn’t mind the chevelle. Your post reminded me of the fall guy tv show. Always wanted his truck with a hidden storage box.
Badass
Makes zero sense, but totally awesome
Almost 200k??, hell nooo!!!!.
Suddenly my stock 2021 Ruby Gladiator seems... wimpy!
I want, I want. Lol
5 MPG ??
That’s nothing. White rock dodge and epic adventure outfitters in Surrey BC have been making 840hp demon gladiators. Good luck getting a hellephant though lol almost 300grand Canadian to get a demonator.
Yeah I need a 1000hp jeep now
Nice, but just buy a TRX with warranty.
Two different trucks. It's a midsize truck with full size TRX performance. Plus in my opinion, this is better looking.
You can buy 2 TRXs
@@MW-fr7bx not w the 100% dealer markup
2 completely different types of vehicles. Both are awesome, both are extremely expensive.
@@nm-qt2hb Would you prefer a Rubicon-392 and a Gladiator for the same price? I like this super version but the cost tells me a 2-for one is better. It is unique!
Jeep will soon make a gladiator v8 .i hope.
google 3.0 gme t6
@@jeffforbes70 I KNOW That
All that and still no struts for the hood lol
Jeep HC vs Newest Bronco!
I doubt it will pass California smog.
i wonder if ppl will think that this is the show car for the show of the same name
$200K is outrageous for a Jeep even with the Hellcat engine. I get it, labor and parts and blah blah blah but damn, $200K? I guess if I was a millionaire I could somehow justify it but surely there are just as capable high HP offroaders out there for much less.
That's the way they should make them from the factory
I could only AFFORD this in my DREAMS 😴 AT NIGHT then wake up in the Morning REALITY HIYS Ian’s I drive a 4 door ford escape.
Money,Money!!!!
500lbs payload capacity
That’d be sick if it had a manual
How much is this with the 392 from the factory? Probably has 90% of this things capability at less than half the cost.
I don't believe the gladiator is available with the 392. Only in four door wrangler trim.
don't forget 392 jl has dana 44.you can buy rubicons axles for 5000. these dana 60 and dana 80 are 20000. they are bolt on axles . should take a good mechanic one day . an average mechanic 2 days
Now finding something to eat or being able to afford it is another story.
196k?? I just ordered 3.
Put the tire on the roof. So you can us the bed..😅
My big issues with this are 1. Its an automatic.... Just why? What's the point if its not a manual. 2. The tire takes up the bed which defeats the point of a truck. Other then that I like it.
Because whomever is buying this, isn't using it as a truck. It's a show off truck.
$196000 of muscles 💪 and smiles
140K too much
@@wileecoyote5749 yeah my bank account would be weaker and sad
How much is that $85,000 jeep?
6 miles per gallon are you serious 😳 there's no way .....gosh my bank account went negative after watching this
Can they do a 6X6? Just so one can go really nuts…
If you think 200k is lot of money for this truck thats true ... there is people right now puting 2013 nissans altimaa for 20k who is more crazier the sellers or the buyers?
$200K for a fast Jeep.. No way...... Thats crazy.
Hoovie will have one in ten years for half the price and lots of issues
That suspension is way too soft, thing is bouncing all over the place. Cool concept but it’s definitely overkill. Ill take the regular hemi.
Must be in AZ or something
Yep. This is near Phoenix, AZ
Those guys are high as hell if they think people are gonna pay 200k for that thing lol.
One just sold for 225k, we may not have the money to throw away but somebody does.
Me: my mortgage is due
Friend: how much do you have left to pay?
Me: over $700k left to go.
Friend: damn! Must be a big home!
Me: uuuuhhhhhh…….. yyyyyyyeah, that’s the mortgage on my Gladiator.
jesus
Wow... nice rich boy toy. Even if I had the money id pass. I'll keep my duramax and toys in the trailer.
$90k for a Dodge TRX with more horsepower , better display , more features and similar off road ability. Why would you pay $200k for this. You could have 2 TRXs which seems to be a comparable build.
They won't build it because they already have the trx
Did he say 6mpg? I couldn’t understand him
2 mpg
