GRDLOC: The Unstoppable Monster Jeep CJ

We wanted to push the boundaries of what a Jeep could be while still qualifying as a Jeep. We ended up with GRDLOC. This CJ7 has been given a new life with 46" tires, 3.0 internal bypass shocks, and a factory supercharged V8.
Builder Nic Ashby takes you through all the upgrades we made in this video and shows you some of the craziest obstacles he's taken on so far. We're looking to push this Jeep to it's breaking point, stay tuned.

So awesome to see something like this actually getting used, getting scuffs and scratches and not just pampered& trailered around to shows.

[@joemiller9227]

Exactly what I was thinking, they use it for what its meant for as well as showing its beauty off.

Great video, great content, my favourite jeep on the regular internet. If you want to make some really interesting content while you have an amazing experience you should talk to the snow wheelers club in Kelowna, British Columbia. Joel or Devon Villeneuve or Kelly Madore, they are all on fb. I think grdlck would do well in the snow. You might wish you had rear steer, but you’ll have a wheeling experience you’ll never forget. Again, fabulous build. Great video.

[@Fishabug]

Nic, What air pressure you running in the tires, not much squat at all?

[@RockstarGarage]

On the Baja claws we ran 10 lbs any less you would pop a bead at flex, on the pro xs it’s a little softer but we now have double beadlocks so we run 6-8 lbs and they still look like they have 20-25lbs

[@Rickugg]

Never seen a Jeep rise up like a KING JEEP !!! WOW This has to be the TOP BUILD !!! I guess it comes down to MONEY !!! I guess 175 K Dollars.....

With 46" tires, based on internet dogma you are supposed to have 12.5" of link separation at the axle. The front certainly doesn't look like that much and the rear really doesn't either. It obviously lives and does the job so I was wondering how much separation you actually have front and rear and what size bolt you run through the Johnny joint?
