This professionally custom-built 2020 Jeep Gladiator started as a
Rubicon Launch Edition and was upgraded by Dakota Customs in Black
Hawk, South Dakota, who installed a new and more powerful
drivetrain. Like the original Hellephant engine, of which only 100
were produced, this Gladiator is powered by an all-aluminum
Mopar-supercharged 426ci Hemi crate engine producing an estimated
1,000hp and 950 lb-ft of torque. From there, an eight-speed
automatic transmission delivers power to Dynatrac Elite ProRock
XD60/80 1-ton axles with ARB Lockers and 5.38 gears. Stopping power
is provided by 1-ton big brakes. This one-off Gladiator sits on an
EVO Manufacturing 3-inch suspension lift with adjustable King
shocks, remote reservoirs, 40-inch Nitto Mud Grappler MT tires and
KMC beadlock wheels with TPMS sensors that work with the factory
Jeep tire pressure monitoring system. The exterior features a
RockJock rear anti-sway bar, PSC Motorsports Hydro-Assist power
steering, Warn Zeon Platinum 12,000-pound winch with wireless
remote, Factor 55 clevis hook and synthetic rope, and a DV8 Offroad
pivoting spare tire carrier with bed mount. Upgrades include
American Adventure Labs High-Line fenders and front and rear fender
inserts, Baja Designs LED lighting, Rock Hard 4x4 bolt-in interior
front and rear safety cage, Rockslide Engineering electric
side-steps, skid plates and a rear passenger step. It also has an
SPOD Source switching system for lockers and lights, a twin ARB air
compressor onboard air system and dual-battery setup with in-cab
switching and onboard air-pressure monitoring. The sale includes
the original window sticker and build receipts totaling $250,000,
of which $188,000 was for the new parts and labor. This Gladiator
has been sparingly driven since build completion. 1,346 actual
miles. Experian AutoCheck shows manufacturer safety recall issued
on 04/17/2020 (radio software). **MAY NOT BE EMISSIONS COMPLIANT IN
