Fastest Truck in Canada? - Demon Jeep Gladiator Rolling on Dana 60/80 Axles and 38s

Get ready to witness a true work of automotive art in action! In this video, the Ginger and his team of wellness experts showcase a heavily modified Jeep Gladiator that's been transformed into a crazy street machine. With an AMW4x4 Demon Engine Swap (840HP), this Gladiator packs a serious punch under the hood. But hey... that's not all, this jeep has been equipped with Dana 60/80 axles, a custom Teraflex suspension and 38" Nitto Trail Grappler tires. Inside, custom leather seats and dash panels bring the feels. This Gladiator is designed to turn heads and make babies cry.

I dream of putting a demon engine into my Gladiator. For now I'll just have to watch these videos.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, it's a crazy thrill ride!

[@RocklanderUSA]

Just do it! Ask for forgiveness later ;)

[@justynesansoucy7674]

Lmao I right there with you brother. Love these videos. I keep telling myself if I hurry up and pay her off I can install 1 of these bad boys.

Awesome video I just discovered your channel and it’s awesome

Sweet! Thanks for following along and cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@ChrisLang-mc7ok]

Such a clean build, you guys always do amazing work!

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks Chris! It was a blast to build!

[@Billrovid]

Guessing about 180K US. Amazing truck. Its what any Gladiator owner would love to have. I really like that you did it right top to bottom. Not just bolt on crap. well done boys!

[@EPIC-4WD]

thank you Mr Buck from the team at EPIC! Cheers!

I’m literally just speechless… frozen in awe

Just imagine driving it ;-)

Great job! Need to find a bridge to jump while performance test (playing, just a good ole boys, never meanin no harm.....😆).

[@EPIC-4WD]

We'll leave that up to the new owner ;-)

[@careypulling1417]

Love the added touch with the Demon logo in the seats.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks Carey! Yeah, the seats turned out awesome!

[@David-Drums]

Wow. I bet this is crazy expensive. Unbelievable build.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yep, it's crazy expensive... and an insane experience to drive. ;-)

AMW4X4 does a fantastic job. A local to me Jeep mod shop, JKland, does their swaps. I was there last week grabbing a tazer jl mini and they had a demon swap kit in their showroom. Even the stand to support the powertrain during shipping is incredibly high quality. Really wish I could afford to do it, but my ecodiesel will have to do for now.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Yeah, after driving all these v8 jeeps, I let my Ecodiesel Gladiator go bye-bye last month ;-)

[@vdub5818]

@@EPIC-4WD I mean I love it, the torque is fantastic as is the fuel economy. However there comes that point in the powerband where it sure would be nice to have a boatload of horsepower take over. As crazy as it is to say this, I just wish we here in the US we're a bit more free to mod diesels like you Canadians. A "weight loss program" on these ecodiesels really peps them up from what I hear/have seen.

[@davidharris1767]

That's one Baddazz Gladiator !

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for watching David! Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@fredericnzeyimana]

I weekly watch this video with The Ginger team! They are amazing! Thanks for the work. I’d wish to see total mods; like inner fender parts removed, front and real bumpers changed, but those even the owner could do it. What would be the average wage for such engine swap(Canadian$)?!

[@Kevin_604]

Awesome! Those axles are just a bit beefy eh lol. Love seeing these wild builds.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks Kevin! Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Not now that y’all beat on it 😱 but it’s nice

[@arneservatius1982]

Dana rear ends >BAD to the BONE

[@jt8251]

TAKE MY MONEY!

[@richardthomas1531]

Mojave with a functional hood scoop would be a step up.

[@johnfulater2945]

I love these videos. You guys do great work. What do you do with the engines / transmissions that come out for the AMW power plants?

[@tonyk1amt806]

Do the hemi conversions use the stock rubicon transfer case, and if so how well does it handle the massively increased power over time? Awesome builds, your work is top notch, and entertaining crew, lol.

[@RocklanderUSA]

Definitely fastest JT in Canada 🍁 🎉

[@EPIC-4WD]

It certainly is.

[@dirtlifemagazine]

Peter McKinnon ax 🤣

[@frankcastle9691]

The fact that someone would spend 10,000$ on huge heavy axles just to run 40s is insane to me. For the money that's dumped into a keep you could have a rock bouncer with 45's.

[@bryanstaten5585]

Kind of wondering why the heavier Mojave chassis wasnt used for this?

[@Stomper67]

The Ginger asks…. “are we building a dump truck”?! “If you break this….. you need to learn how to drive, or find a new hobby”! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for following along in our crazy builds! Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@robl6044]

Awesome build guys it looks so badass I have a question I have the Mopar 2 inch lift my jeep and you guys always talk about installing drop Bracket control arms Should I put them on mine is my question do you guys

[@EPIC-4WD]

Hey Rob... first you should take out the Mopar lift and get a proper lift with all the geometry correction brackets... and some suitable springs/shocks. Give us a call if you want some further input.

[@nosfedss]

I’ve got a question are those axles narrowed for the jeeps or are they strait out of a super duty

[@Silver_sen7inel]

no limit straps?

[@vincentmamotos9937]

Can you rock this with stock dana 44s? Trusses and RCVs?

[@MIAMIS250]

Where can I get the tailgate Gladiator emblem?

[@Sayveior]

What’s the top speed on these swapped Jeep’s?

[@NANKEL1]

With a 392 do you keep the spare wheel? very nice build boy's 👌🇦🇺

[@EPIC-4WD]

The normally aspirated engine conversions do not use/need the auxiliary coolant tank under the bed, so yes a spare could still fit there. With the Hellcat/Demon that would be a no.

[@austinskillings5240]

Could you tell me how much this jeep could tow? I'd love to buy a jeep with a swap or something but I want to know little more specs to be honest

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for watching and commenting. With your question - you typically don't do an engine swap like this for more towing capability. Give us a call at 604-888-2961 and we can have a little chat. Cheers from the team at EPIC!

[@mkbmj]

Which letter kit did you use on tailgate? Is this transmission the same as the one with the 426 normally aspirated motor?

[@EPIC-4WD]

The tailgate badge is from AMW. The Transmission is different than the 426 package.

[@goodinsrt8]

20s usually look dumb as fuck on jeeps, but those look killer on that build.

[@anulfadventures]

Okay, I know it probably won't work with the Demon swap because of the extra coolant reservoir where the spare tire was. What if with the Hellcat swap you "trimmed" the truck box/bed so that the departure angle was basically the same as the approach angle? Crazy you say? Why you ask? There would only be room in the box for a spare tire, standing... or your lunch box you say? True but wouldn't it look cool?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Bobbed beds are cool... but so much effort and money to reduce the general usefulness of having a truck bed... just buy a Wrangler lol. ;-)

[@anulfadventures]

@@EPIC-4WD I was thinking of that option but I wanted to keep the longer wheel base of the Gladiator for this hypothetical mod.

[@nguyenhuynh9806]

How much for everything cost?

[@pr4lviper]

How much cost this job?

[@ahmonguniform]

How much? 🎉

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

So, who gets the left over engine from the stock vehicle?

[@EPIC-4WD]

They get sold off.

[@borisscepanovic1684]

Slight engine modifications-upgraded air filter.😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@outsidewithdj]

All that & no 40s??? Cmon dealership

[@gopolanglekoto]

Can I ship my Gladiator from South Africa to you guys so you can install a Demon engine??? 😢😢😢

[@EPIC-4WD]

Maybe... but your JT being right hand drive would pose all kinds of challenges ;-)

[@gopolanglekoto]

@@EPIC-4WD You guys have the Ginger. He can do anything 😉

[@yairhaim4191]

How did you connect the lockers?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Lockers are ARB air lockers, connected to the tiny ARB locker air pump in the engine bay. Switches are wired up to the stock rubicon locker switches.

[@yairhaim4191]

@@EPIC-4WD Thank you for the response! Did you had to use the Z Automotive -locker harness?

[@thezucernoodle2345]

Epic does amazing work but at what point is it to much? There is no reality where I would off road a 279k Jeep!

How come, you didn’t put bead lock wheels all the money that went into there and you didn’t.

An EV truck with 1000hp will!. Silent but deadly haha

[@thechiefwes296]

250k, we finance your kidneys on the black market, your second child and require 30 percent down

[@bruceklassen8261]

Like are we talking $95,000?😬

[@vdub5818]

Considering the swap itself is 70k USD, this would be substantially more. When you take into account the axle upgrades (22kish) and the purchase price of the rubicon. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this is a $150k Gladiator.

[@MattLindell1]

I'm guessing it's the "used" 2023 Gladiator Rubicon on White Rock's website with only 21km on it, listed for $279k CAN, or approx. $210k USD

[@user-uy5ml4gq8s]

Dangerous set up for a vehicle that is already prone to flipping over if not driven properly

[@EPIC-4WD]

Uhhmm... what? lol.

I do not want an electric truck! Gotta bring Trump back! Damn Democrats taking away freedom of choice and feeds us bugs. 😂 Michigan
