FLASHY to CLASSY Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators of SEMA 2023 Pre Show Coverage Part 2

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

There's never in short supply of Flashy Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators at SEMA and in this second part of our 2023 pre-show coverage, you can be sure that we have plenty more to share with you. However, we did come across a few classy rigs, or at least, in our opinion anyway and we even came across a unicorn of a classic that was just to die for. Needless to say, that's what you'll get to see in this video.
More pics and all kinds of SEMA Show stuff that doesn't make the video cut can be found here: www.wayalife.com/forums/2023-...

    That old J-10 was phenomenal and so was that Stubby Gladiator, I would've loved to have seen that International 1100 to the left of it. Hats off to Clark and the Griswold family for making it to SEMA, Dinky the Dog was last seen in the vicinity of Coolidge Kansas !!! Rivian is probably the only EV on the Market I would consider owning whether it is the R1S or R1T at the moment, Now I will be interested in the Jeep Recon when it hits the Market....

    The fake brake rotors on that 6x6 Gladiator really epitomize many of the SEMA builds. A couple of Rivian R1S did just go through the Rubicon this summer. The Rubicon isn't the hardest trail ever, but still impressive for a bone stock vehicle, as there arent many that will do it. I LOVE that extended cab J10. Though I am very much partial to FSJs.

    Eddie i agree with you. For me personally a Jeep is not pretty , nor is it luxurious , what it is to me is Functional .. i don’t put anything on my Jeep that doesn’t perform a specific function. Either handle better , give it a clearance advantage , or hold cargo it doesn’t belong.. and some would argue on those big rim small rubber jeeps , well thats how they build beach jeeps . While i see the design good for that , all the paint and chrome and fancy stuff would just rust and peal if ya actually used it on the beach , so then you ruin the intended functionality the jeep was intended for 🤷🏻‍♂️ i just don’t get it myself , all that money poured into it and really all its good for is to sit in a parking lot and look pretty 🤷🏻‍♂️ but hey thats just me and my personal opinion, as always thanks for the video Eddie 👍

    I went to EJS this year, and there just happened to be a guy there with a new Rivian R2 from Colorado. He wheeled it and put a couple of dents in it. The Rivian did pretty well, but electric vehicles are not for me... maybe when they work out all the problems. But, I do love gasoline.

    Motobilt makes that bed, bed rack/tire carrier. Dan (Motobilt) also offers a taller bed rack for the bobbed bed with molle panels to attach equipment. That is similar to the dream build that I created. Jeep Gladiator AMW 392 equipped with Motobilt bobbed bed, color-matched high line aluminum fenders, Tomahawk chopped front bumper, Warn 12k synthetic, Motobilt rocker guards & plate, KMC off-road lights with JW Speaker headlights, tail lights, turn signals. Redarc dual battery system. PRP custom seats/interior. Full DS18 sound system with Stinger audio. Either Fusion Elite 60/80 or Spidertrax custom tons. PSC hydraulic assist steering. The whole 9 yards

    A lot of Jeep owners wheel just as expensive or more expensive in some cases than the Rivian. I’ve priced several highly built Jeeps & they can reach over $200k easily.
