Behind me is the Grinch sitting on some huge tracks right here.
This has an RSO suspension, EV8, looks like long travel.
This thing is wild.
I'm hoping that it's a diesel, although I don't see the diesel badge.
In the back, we got some surf, surf, we got some snowboard racks, some wakeboard speakers
for good measure.
This thing is just a fun vehicle.
I think my Canadians watching this right now would be like, oh my God, that's so great.
Southern California folks, not so much.
But the Grinch, we got the Rebel Off-Road Atlas here with huge, this is like one and
a half ton curry axles, nuts.
You got King Shocks, a little Rebel Off-Road dampener mount right there, which is cool,
especially if you're running this thing hard.
40 inch Nittos on it, Rockside Engineering sidesteps.
You got the Casey Highlight rack on there.
I believe this is a Rebel Off-Road rack with some Rome Adventure Gear cases, but I really
like the back.
Check out this setup.
So this is the full truck bed delete, tons of storage up there, rooftop tent.
You got a mount for your fishing poles.
This is an adventure vehicle that is fantastic.
And in the back, we're not done.
Full size spare tire might be kind of hard because these things are about 100 pounds
to take this off.
But you got a whittle ladder, you got a little propane tank, some jerry cans, and if you
come over on the back here, it just continues, additional places to mount your gear and accessories.
Rebel Off-Road always does good stuff, and with curry and 40 inch Nittos and some, looks
like Rebel or maybe Curry Industries, I don't know what wheels these are, but they are beadlock
and pretty insane.
We're in the TIS Off-Road booth with a monster Jeep Gladiator.
I love these fenders, look like it's all bodyguard, skid plate side, slash side steps.
So you got 44 inch Mickey Thompson tires with some worn beadlock wheels.
I like this front bumper.
The whole thing is Rhino line and a really cool color, but I really like the back.
Check this out.
Well, we got, looks like one ton curry axles underneath there.
That's very important when you have 44 inch tires, anti-rock, whole billet control arms.
And in the back, I like this rack.
It's an extrusion rack with some Max Trax up there, a full-size spare.
And then I like how this tonneau cover protects everything in the back.
Really clean diesel Gladiator.
There's a lot going on on this Drop Racks Jeep Gladiator here.
You got the Ironman 4x4 front bumper, integrated light bar, which I really appreciate and like,
RC winch, which I haven't heard of them, but on the side here, I'm not sure what wheels.
Those are TIS Off-Road wheels.
Now check this out.
It's the Drop Rack System.
So the entire rack will actually come down just with a lever.
So if you don't want to get up and on top of your rig for things like paddle boards
or bikes or storage racks, really cool solution that comes back down.
We have the Venturis canopy on there.
That is a mold injected fiberglass, which is stronger and lighter than traditional fiberglass,
which you could see with this weight and the rack on there, it still holds up.
You don't see that very often with fiberglass.
Really cool Jeep Gladiator build.
And I really like these doors.
The interior brown saddle leather is just absolutely fantastic, but there's some really
cool things happening on this awesome Gladiator.
Behind me is a Gladiator on steroids with one of the cooler wrap jobs I've seen.
I love how it fades from black into this really cool zombie apocalyptic design.
You have NT tires, I'm not sure what, or NT wheels with Baja Boss 37 inch tires.
Those are the Mickey Thompsons.
The suspension is a rock FSG black, which looks pretty heavy duty.
I like all the control arms are all painted gold.
Really cool.
But what I really like about it is the ARS, the adventure rack systems rack, and these
metal cloak fenders.
Those are going to allow you to have additional clearance.
But the overall, the complete design of this with the Pelican cases on top, this is an
apocalyptic vehicle that you'll definitely want.
You've got some metal cloak sidesteps right here.
The fenders keep on going on the back and on the back rear bumper.
I'm not sure what bumper it is, but it's very sleek and awesome.
OneDayWraps.com did the wrap.
Good job on this.
Overall, I like it a lot.
And we can't have a rig without pointing out the Alpharex tail and front headlights.
Really cool.
Really cool system.
I like the rack.
This Jeep is surprising because it's a six by six that looks like it could do crawl mode.
That is pretty rad.
It looks like a JT, heavily modified.
I don't even know what they have underneath the hood, but BestOffRoad.com.
You got the full roll cage here.
No seating in the back.
I guess you're just going to have a ton of cargo storage, but overall, a feat of engineering
nonetheless.
I mean, look at those control arms.
That's insane.
You got one ton axles throughout, and then some really cool, what are tires, wheels are
these?
Fit?
I don't know what wheels those are, but they're beadlocks and huge tires.
I really like the crawl, the crab mode on this thing.
Paty Performance and BestOffRoad.com.
Check out this Jeepster Commando, this custom build built off of a CJ5 chassis.
The interior is crazy dialed.
You got a little truck bed in the back, full size tire.
I don't know if they actually off-road this thing, but it is really well done.
The paint job and body work is flawless.
Finish line out of Ellsberg, Washington.
Did a really good job on this build.
I like it.
I think it's a super classy and classic Jeep that a lot of people would love to drive.
The Ice Cream Truck Jeep is back.
This is built off a Wrangler 4XE chassis.
Check out the suspension on this long travel Fox with the reservoir shock over here, so
you could adjust it on the trail really easily just by not having to reach in, get all dirty.
You could actually do it right here.
Steer Smarts out of Detroit, Michigan built this thing.
I like the wrap a lot.
You got the Nemesis side protection here and the rock sliders.
Huge Mickey Thompson 44-inch tires, the Baja Boss, and then, of course, an Ice Cream Truck
for when you're out on the road and you want to sell ice cream, because why not?
Check out this RPM Gladiator, the Boo-Bacon, Boo-Bacon, I thought a Bro-Bacon would be
kind of cool.
Boo-Bacon is a Halloween-themed, I guess.
You got the KMC beadlock wheels with huge 44-inch Baja Boss tires by Mickey Thompson,
a full RPM suspension setup paired with King shocks.
I like how they color match the springs here to match the wrap.
You got Baja Design lights with these little Evo Off-Road mounts right here, which are
pretty cool and very clean.
Up top, you got the Evo Off-Road inner fenders, and this bumper is really rad, super compact,
and just for good measure, a little doll head on the free spool of the Warren winch.
Oh, Dana Spicer, looks like one-ton axles, which you have to have in order to have 44-inch
tires, otherwise you're going to rip your Dana 44s out in about two seconds.
Pretty cool diesel Gladiator.
We got a completely Rhino-line Jeep Gladiator here with some monstrous wakeboarding speakers
on the back.
That is, I guarantee you, so freaking loud, but what I really like about this is the detail
on the actual Rhino-line.
We've never Rhino-lined one of our vehicles, but I will say this thing could go through
brush marks, go through just about anything and stay completely fine.
You got the Quake LEDs here in the back and up front.
We got some Maxxis tires here, looks like 40s with Falcon shocks.
The RC Off-Road sidesteps right here, again, with the same texture to match that Rhino-line.
These wheels are super rad.
The Vision wheels, I like the red, nice little pop there that kind of ties everything in
and up front, we have a Rough Country winch and I'm not sure about the bumper, a Rough
Country bumper.
I don't necessarily like this bumper as much for rock crawling because you have this whole
area right here that the tire could get stuck on, but it looks like you got enough clearance
for it.
Quake LEDs on the front and overall, I think the best thing about this build is the Rhino-line
exterior.
The Rhino-line exterior looks really cool.
Check out this monstrosity of a Gladiator behind me.
You have some ridiculously thick Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X3 mud tires and the suspension setup
is worth more than most people's cars.
You got Fox shocks right there, all long travel, a super awesome sway lock with such big tires.
If you want to unlock that sway bar and or just regular steering, you got to make sure
you upgrade everything in the rig.
His name is Rocky.
He likes warm hugs and dirt trails and overall, really cool build that has for sure seen some
rocks and some trails.
We're in the Magnaflow in Cambridge booth with a super awesome Gladiator.
There's a couple of things I want to point out on this.
Yeah, you got the Falcon Wildpeak tires with the black Rhino wheels.
You know we love that combo.
King shocks, Rebel off-road, looks like steering kit, something like that, but up top, check
out this up top Overland rack.
I think it's really cool, bolts onto the factory points.
I don't know if you have to drill into that or not.
You got the Rhino rack back wing that swings all the way out and then the RSI smart cap,
which we absolutely love, stainless steel, super heavy-duty canopy.
You got a rooftop tent up there and overall, I really like this setup for overlanding because
you could still have it for functional daily use, but then also some other little bells
and whistles like a little sidestep right here to make sure it get up and over the rig.
Lights, we got Baja Design lights, a ton of LP6s up top, which is going to light up
the world.
This thing is pretty rad.
All right, I don't know what's going on with the Jeep behind me, but its name is R2 Jeep
2, Star Wars themed.
The wheels, I think, are really sick.
Look at this.
It's got a little custom R2D2 cover on there and, of course, a paint job to match.
Looks like they bobbed a Wrangler or just turned a Wrangler into a truck bed, but it's
incredibly short wheelbase, or they just took a two-door and then modified it.
I'm not sure what they did here, but you got some wakeboard speakers in the back.
Really cool custom work.
Really good job on this.
Extrusion overland.
This is the Scrambler CJ build that looks like it was completely modified from the ground
up.
One thing that I saw that is pretty cool, check out this diff cover.
It's the spider diff cover or the purple cranium spider.
That's kind of cool.
Overall, though, I mean, there's too much to go over in one video on this thing.
It looks like a really fun rig.
Huge.
Absolute monster.
We're in the Vulcan off-road design with a really cool Rubicon Gladiator here.
One thing I like about this build is the front bumper.
This is a Vulcan front bumper.
I like the paint, or at least the color match on this.
You could have a little pop of color with the integrated Warn winch.
Still plenty of clearance.
You got the Fox steering kit underneath there.
A Yukon, it looks like one-ton axle, and then 37 or 40-inch Nittos.
The RSO suspension setup, an anti-rock off-road sway bar.
Make sure with those huge tires, you're still able to control it.
And then some monster lights right here, Nacho lights.
Those are bad boys.
In the back, we have a little simple rack system.
I'm assuming it's Vulcan off-roads, and I've never seen this tent before.
A roof-spaced rooftop tent that's all hard shell.
That's pretty cool.
This rear bumper is really rad, too.
Vulcan off-road design.
Really clean.
We're in the Bestop booth with a really cool Gladiator.
I really like these seats, so this is the PRP custom seat covers that are really rad.
They just look really clean and bring that safari look, especially with the paint on
this is really rad.
I like this little safari setup, or the little freedom panel replacement on the Bestop.
Flip that open, you don't have to deal with the freedom panels rolling around all over
the place.
And check out this canopy system.
This collapses down, and you're able to have everything protected in the back without carrying
a ton of additional weight.
You can find this at Bestop.
Really cool.
And then just a little fridge-freezer by ARB, just for fun.
The rear bumper, I like the stainless steel, just keeping it raw.
And that's New Ventures Motorsports, I believe.
We have the World Famous 4x4.
That's the name of the Instagram account.
I don't know if they are actually world famous, but I like this fishbone inner fender and
front bumper.
It's really cool.
You got a super heavy-duty 12S winch on there.
On the side, you got the two side rock sliders, which protect everything in the back.
The fishbone off-road rack system is pretty low profile.
It looks like it's not that thick of steel, so it isn't going to be too heavy.
Mile marker traction boards right here, and in the back, some storage applications, full-size
spare tire on the top, and then it looks like Diode Dynamics, potentially a light bar.
But I really like these fenders and the inner fenders.
Fishbone off-road.
I got a RSO Suspension Jeep Gladiator behind me.
The suspension setup on this thing is pretty gnarly.
I mean, comparable to maybe a Fox 2.5 Series shock.
I've never ridden it before.
It looks pretty cool.
Really clean build on Maximus.
In the back, we got the Kuwait rack.
This thing is a lot larger than some of the other racks that we've seen, but still, the
cool thing about the Kuwait system is it's all like a backbone system.
You don't have a ton of panels and everything weighing you down.
This gives you the flexibility to change it out how you want, and also mount anything
you want on the top and the sides without necessarily taking a bunch of room and a bunch
of weight, which is the downside of canopies.
They tend to be heavier, but at the same time, this is a really good hybrid solution that
still integrates the roll-and-lock tonneau cover.
I got the Armadillo 6x6 Jeep Gladiator here, an extra axle on the back just for good measure,
and I, after seeing, no, done, done, nope, not doing it.
We're in the all-top Overland booth with a decent Rubicon right here.
We got the Jeep Gladiator with the Falcon shocks and the Teraflex suspension.
That's kind of standard, but up top, one thing I really like is this rooftop tent.
Check this out.
I haven't seen this before.
This bottom part flips up, and then it's a clamshell that's much smaller footprint than
normal clamshell tents.
I guess it's not a clamshell.
It's a hardtop, but still, I like the different ways that you can fold it up so it compacts
really small, so it's not hanging off the side of your truck bed.
All-top Overland equipment.
I'm in the Novesite booth with a dope Wrangler here.
We have these awesome LED lights that are fixated everywhere.
You can take the ambers off really easily.
That light bar is a really cool design that I like a lot, super low-profile, but also
each individual one is a ton of light in and of itself when you bridge it together.
It's a ton.
You got some pod lights right here.
and then the Novesite rooftop tent, a little clamshell that collapses down, looks like
super quality material.
I'm not sure what rack this is, but overall, I think the lights are the coolest thing on
the build.
All right, behind me is a beast of a Gladiator with 42-inch Baja Boss tires, and in order
to make sure you don't break things, you got an XD60 axle on the front by Dynatrack, and
on the back, the Pro Rock 80s.
That is pretty gnarly.
Baja-designed lights.
Not sure what the rack is on top, and in the back, it's pretty mellow.
You got some side steps right here, slash rock sliders, and I'm not sure what that logo
is.
I don't know that brand.
That's my fault.
That's my bad.
I need to educate myself, but the axles are really where this thing shines.
All right, we got a Bestop Jeep Gladiator behind me with some Baja Boss 40-inch tires.
It looks like we have Falcon shocks on it.
It's name is Escape with the Nemeziz Off-Road fenders on here, but the RR, what is that?
Rough Ridge, I think, inner fenders, which is interesting.
You got a little stubby bumper.
I'm not even sure what brand that is, but I like the color scheme on this.
Going with the yellow and the black looks pretty cool, and really, the interior, I think
where this thing shines.
You got all the yellow stitching to match the exterior with these leather seats, custom
leather seats.
That's pretty cool.
I like these sidesteps right here, slash rock sliders.
This thing could definitely hit the trail and do some fun.
You also got, looks like Dana 60 axles on it.
Pretty cool build.
Got a sweet Gladiator behind me with some Portal axles on it.
What I like about this thing is how much clearance you have.
Look how high that axle is.
That's one of the main benefits of the Portal axles.
Instead of just switching out an axle, you can just add the Portal axles on, and then
you're good to go.
Adds a ton of clearance.
Got the fuel beadlocks on here, and then some huge 42-inch Patagonian MT tires.
Those are absolutely beasts.
Rock slide engineering sidesteps, some Fox shocks, nothing too crazy back there.
I think the Portal axles are the coolest thing on this build.
This Gladiator is not like your normal Gladiators, mostly because the engine has been swapped
with the LS3, nice little Corvette engine in there.
For good measure, because when you have that much power, you need to make sure to protect
your axles.
We filmed this last year.
They had just put on the Portal axles on it.
It seems to be a trend happening right now with some Bilstein racing shocks.
Rides that rock slide engineering front bumper on here, and of course, it wouldn't be a rock
slide engineering truck without some rock slide engineering sidesteps.
That flips up, and now you have rock sliders.
Super rad.
Really cool rack system in the back too, but that Corvette engine, I don't even think you
need this rack.
Just go fast and have fun.
Rad.
We got the Quake LED Gladiator right here on airbags.
This thing could lift up pretty extreme.
Deep dish wheels, you know how I feel about that.
I'm not even going to talk about them.
I like these Quake LED lights right here that normally go where the little hood scoop goes.
We got a light bar and then Road Armor fenders.
I really like the Road Armor fenders, but you can see the airbags right there.
This thing can lift up, and it's more of a mall crawler in my opinion, but some people
like it.
Not this guy.
