ENDGAME

THE APOCALYPTIC BEAUTY

- WORDS AND PHOTOS BY CHAD DOUGLAS

Overlanding, apocalyptic vibes, and adventure are all things that are bundled into this one vehicle. With this 2022 Jeep Gladiator, there is nothing short of its looks and handling on the streets of Casco, Maine. Meet Ryan and his Gladiator that he named Endgame. This rig is built with top brand names and parts from all over the off-road industry. Jumping right into the looks of this rig, it has a 2024+ Jeep grille on the front stuffed with a set of AlphaRex Nova Series headlights to light up daily drives. Protecting the grille and front end from any damage is a Metalcloak frame-built bumper. With just over 2 months and $190k invested into this build, this Gladiator has the components that Jeep aficionados appreciate in high-end off-road builds.

Working along the exterior, we have a set of Metalcloak aluminum overland fenders paired with Metalcloak aluminum inner fenders. A bright and very noticeable feature about this rig is its network of lights! This Jeep is kitted out with 10 Rigid Industries pods that have been strategically positioned on top of the roof rack and on the pillars and bumpers too for onlookers to find and bask in their glory! Other features of note are the ARS Over Cab rack system with catwalk and seal rack, Pelican vault cases on the rack sides, and a Warn Zeon XD 10-S winch. Another noteworthy addition is the creative and eye-catching wrap designed by 1 Day Wraps and installed by Evolution Designwerx.
