Ripp Supercharged Jeep Gladiator Mojave - More Power, Awesome Sound

The Team at EPIC work with RIPP Superchargers to outfit our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave with their Supercharger package. Watch as Landen and the Ginger tear down the 3.6L, install some killer new parts and hear our initial thoughts on the power increase.
Our EPIC 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave is taking some serious shape. Check out this video to see the suspension lift:

I need those fenders !!!

[@organicmechanic8170]

Ripp has had a ton of problems with their JT/JL High Performance Coil Packs going bad around 5k-5.5k miles. I installed mine into my JT when my rig had 550 miles and ran fine until I reached 6k miles. I was at the hardware store, not off-road on a trail Thankfully, when I had a Ripp Coil Pack go bad and sent my JT into limp mode misfiring terribly. Swapped back to the OEM Coil Packs and instantly the misfire went away and all engine codes cleared. They replaced my coil pack set but I'm still rocking the OEM packs because of reliability and that scared me so much I can't trust them to be far from home or off-road on a trail in the middle of nowhere so they are still in the box sitting on a shelf.

[@RIPPMODS]

This manufacturing defect was caught and resolved last year. No JL/JT defective coils remain in stock.

That is another epic video you guys, the install video was awesome. you guys should of did a dyno before and after to see what the real gains were compared to stock!! But overall awesome video, I'm willing to bet that the difference from stock is noticeable.

8 days ago you said the motor went boom💥! Did you have too much boost for the 3.6? I was really thinking about adding a RIPP to my JL but after reading your latest comment I think I’ll look for something different. Would Edelbrock be a safe option. I don’t have enough $ for a new engine.

[@williamdevoy2781]

I have almost the same gladiator you do same color Mojave. If I brought it to you to do the fenders and the super charger how much time would you need or could you pre-order the stuff and do the color matching with a down deposit to get started.

[@TheTruth-dm8wd]

I also have a 2021 Mojave with 37s. Added a Borla Atak which sound great. Currently deciding wich ratio I should go for regear and which supercharger. Can you share why the Ripp and not the Magnuson supercharger? Looks like the Ripp is far more diffivult to install than the Magnuson. However, Magnuson does not to my knowledge sell the injectors, matching tuner, spark plugs, COI or the coil packs. Did that factor much in your decision? Looking forward to the dyno numbers.

[@TheEPICBeardedGinger]

We chose Ripp for multiple reasons, after talking with both companies we felt the Ripp was better suited for the type of driving we are going to use this Jeep for and Magnuson would be better suited for racing. Also I didn’t want an additional electric coolant pump either to keep track of. We personally know multiple customers of our that had JKs with Ripp Superchargers installed with well over 100,000kms with absolutely no issues. Those are only some of our reasons. We also like that Ripp is a proper complete package in our opinion compared to some of the other brands currently out there.

[@organicmechanic8170]

The Magnuson Supercharger Kit includes new fuel injectors and just like Ripp they recommend replacing your spark plugs if you have more than 5k miles on them.

[@steeddgasg8784]

Looking at getting a 2021 gladiator would you recommend the Diesel over this one?

[@TheEPICBeardedGinger]

Honesty it all depends on what your plans are, if you want to “Overland” the EcoDiesel carries weight so well and uses cheaper fuel and less of it, but if you want an exciting driving experience this isn’t a bad idea either 😏

[@dksgarage6061]

Did you not change your gearing when you installed the 37's!?

Yes we did, we installed 4.56 dana spicer gears right after the 37s went on

Evo Bomber Rockers

[@wojohowitz5432]

i understand the need for new content and of course the evolution of a channel needs to Level up with new trends and pushing limits etc. Having said that, many of these builds are completely disregarding what got this company started in the first place. Overlanding! NO ONE, needs 600 hundred horsepower to go overlanding. With the Overlanding trend growing, the bread and butter of ANY industry will be the NEW customers seeking the experience. They need the fundamentals and the basics, low cost, unintimidating accessories and lower cost options, just like how WE ALL Started. I see this across the board in every KZbin content creator page...once the channel gets some followers, some traction, some credibility, the EGO kicks in. Popularity starts to wane and panic sets in. Chasing the WOW instead of the HOW. Sorry, but my last two Jeep builds were based on EPIC Adventures solid advice. My next two jeep builds will follow the same. Overlanding doesn't need loud obnoxious mega machines. We all get out of the city to avoid this, to lose our ego's, to find a little piece of solitude. Balance and common sense ALWAYS wins.
