Jeep Gladiator Truck Overlander on 40 Tires by EVO Off Road Testing at Moab Easter Jeep Safari
Рет қаралды 439,670
5 жыл бұрынIt was about 2 weeks ago to the day that Cindy and I first laid eyes on EVO Manufacturing's brand new and bone stock, Jeep Gladiator Sport. And it was just yesterday, here at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari that we finally got to see it completely transformed and into the beast of a truck that it is today. In addition to running an EVO 6" coil lift on short arms, King shocks, Dana UD60 axles and 40" Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted on KMC Machete beadlocks, this JT pickup is also wearing EVO bumpers front and rear, rocker guards a bed rack complete with roof top tent and every overlanding doodad they think to put on it. In this video, you'll get to see what this awesome pickup looks like now and take a walk around it with Mel Wade to get a close up look at all it's goodies. Oh, did I mention that we also got a chance to take it out on it's very first shakedown run? Yup, you'll get to see some of that too and we hope you enjoy what you see.

Tired of dragging over stuff. 37s are nice but not enough. One of our club guys just did the axles and 40s this week. Can't wait to drive it. Have fun be safe! Heading to Moab this Saturday!

Thanks for putting this together. It really showcases what a proper-focused built JT can do. I especially liked the explanation of using the standard T-case vs. that of the Rubi T-case. EVO looks like they have put a lot of thought into functionality with this new platform and I look forward to seeing their entire product line. Seriously good filmography by letting us SEE what it can do without to much commentary. Keep it up man.
