Texas Vehicle Exchange - 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

This Gladiator build by Texas Vehicle Exchange has it all. From the tires on up to the bed rack, this Jeep has been modified to tackle the toughest trails. It's also got all the factory upgrades like remote start, proximity keyless entry, forward trail cam, LED headlights, and the trailer tow package.

The body was sprayed with a Tank Green Kevlar coating, with Black Kevlar coating the hard top. The bed was also coated with a spray-in bed liner. The seats are upholstered in a custom Alea black leather with silver contrast stitching. 

It's riding high on Nitto Ridge Grappler 38-Inch tires wrapped around DV8's matte black 886 wheels. The suspension has been fitted with the Rubicon Express 3.5-inch suspension lift kit, with Teraflex Falcon shocks. They've also installed the Teraflex Falcon stabilizer kit.

Along the sides are the DV8 Gladiator Rock Sliders with Step, and the doors have been swapped out for the DV8 Jeep JL & JT Rock Doors for increased visibility on the trail. Their tubular steel design flows well with the overall look of this build.

The front end is fitted with the FS-25 Stubby Front Bumper, which has a 20-inch DV8 Slim LED Light Bar installed in the bull bar, and is utilizing the OEM LED fog lights. The reinforced clevis mounts are carrying Tank Green shackles that match the body, with black d-ring isolators that silence the rattle of metal on metal. The winch plate is fitted with a black ADD Offroad Capture Fairlead. This bumper setup optimizes trail clearance, lighting, and recovery options when off-road. 

Sitting atop the engine is the DV8 Heat Dispersion Hood, sprayed with the Tank Green Kevlar coating to match the body. This hood is constructed to better vent the heat from your engine compartment, especially at times when you are at crawling speeds and there is little wind. The hood is secured with DV8's Hood Hold Downs, keeping it secure and preventing wind flutter when traveling at speed.

TVE A-Pillar Light Mounts are holding a 50-inch light bar above the windshield, as well as 2 Rigid Dually D2 LED cube lights at the base of each pillar. 

The wheel wells are fitted out with our Gladiator inner fenders, coupled with the Gladiator Slim Fender Flares to both optimize clearance and give it that tough trail look. The combination of raw aluminum and powder black tie in nicely with the rest of the build. 

The rear of the Jeep is protected by the DV8 Offroad Gladiator Rear Bumper with Hidden Locking Drawer (no longer in production). This drawer tucks away within/beneath the bumper, and serves as a space for you to secure tools or other items you'd like hidden from view. Shackled to the bumper's clevis mounts, are 2 D-rings with isolators as well. The bumper also integrates the OEM parking sensors. 

The bed includes the DV8 Gladiator Chase Rack. The Rack has a forward facing 50-inch LED light bar, and a rear facing 10-inch light bar. There are also two, side facing Rigid Dually D2 cube lights installed. With all the supplemental lighting on this Gladiator, no shadow is safe from this Jeep. All of the lighting is wired to a Mopar aux switch bank kit inside the cab.

Secured to the back of the bed, is the DV8 Adjustable Spare Tire Carrier. It fits nicely underneath the chase rack, and can be adjusted to different angles depending on what you need to stow in your truck bed.
