It's A Monster: I DRIVE The Gladiator Hellcat Jeep Won't Build!

[@Twize]

Say IF, I didn’t have a family, mortgage and still lived with my parents….This ride would happen! 🤣. SICK Build fellas! 🤙

[@edm3184]

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)

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.

[@KTMcaptain]

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.

[@KTMcaptain]

@E C yeah, $80k on a motor/trans swap on a clean vehicle. Yup… 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@dennissmith7214]

@@jeffforbes70 Thete absolutely ZERO billionaires looking to purchase a cheap ass gladiator😒……….this can be had by many upper and middle class buyers! 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jesusjuice7592]

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.

[@KTMcaptain]

@@jesusjuice7592 actually I didn’t… I posed an alternative. Apparently you’re lacking reading comprehension skills.

[@poker5295]

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!

[@mannyman4103]

It does have the 8.4" screen. Whatcha talking about??

[@plaquatra]

Looks like the 7" to me

[@poker5295]

They look similar on video but this one has the 7 inch screen, not the 8.4 Uconnect 4C

[@JasonParham83]

@@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 😁

That is soooo sick! I love the Gladiator, but this is a cut above!

[@mikeadamson4605]

Do you have pull the body off to maintain that engine, too? Looked like no room to reach anything.

[@stanludorf2311]

Taking out the inner fenders probably gives you all the room you would need

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

No, it was just easier with the build since they had to pull out everything anyway.

[@marguisil]

$196k exactly!

[@michealregan5584]

Steps on the gas "ohh yesss!" Lol

[@vdub5818]

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🤷

[@jlv3x]

That 8hp90 would probably be used with the Hellephant engine.

[@vdub5818]

@@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.

[@ZzHasbrozZ]

That supercharger is ahannoying!

[@blakemarchand6650]

I want to work at a shop that does these AMW 4x4 builds. Where do I go to do so

[@dragbug100]

$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.

[@bradlaflamme6127]

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?

[@deanobeidallah6541]

$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.

[@renflo86]

Damn! That is awesome!

very cool! but no mention of better brakes ? unless I missed it..

[@mattlimberg5763]

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.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

Huge brake rotors on those axles. I’m sure it stops extremely well.
