The Jeep has a long history of being one of the most capable and adaptable off-road platforms. And with the recent update to the JL platform and introduction of the Jeep truck known as the JT Gladiator; Jeep has further cemented their position in the off-road world.
There were tons of top notch Jeeps featured this past year to pick from…so we looked to mix things up a bit and include some built-up classics as well as the latest trends. The first criteria, like with any self-respecting Jeep, was a stout suspension setup able to hit the trails and navigate tough terrain. From there, the road armor, accessories, and performance came into play for the best overall package.
1. Bevo Inspired Jeep Gladiator
When the JT Gladiator was introduced; customizing shops hit the dealer lots and being to build out their versions of the new Jeep truck.
Having their own JT build under their belt, EVO Mfg was sought out to build a clean and capable custom orange Gladiator to honor the Longhorns of Texas. The tough suspension and color matched bright paint set it apart from the rest of the Gladiator lineup.
