Alongside the reveal of the facelifted 2024 Jeep Gladiator, American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) has unveiled its personal take on the seven-slatted choose-up truck. The organization specializes in supplying “OE-quality off-road parts for recreational driving and overland adventure travel,” and as such, has designed 3 various “upfit” packages for buyers to pick from, catering to shoppers with various budgets and demands.

The packages, which are named “Upcountry,” “Upcountry+,” and “Level II,” can be ordered by means of Jeep dealerships, from which point trucks will be sent to AEV’s assembly facility in Toledo to get decked out in their new gear.

The entry-level Upcountry package is obtainable for Sport, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon models of the Gladiator. It adds a two-inch suspension lift and 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires wrapped about AEV’s Jeep-certain Pintler wheels. An AEV jack base is incorporated to help wheel adjustments with the added height. To cover the added rubber, you will get JPP/Mopar flare extensions. Changing the rolling radius of the wheels usually necessitates the recalibration of the car’s speedometer. This is exactly where the incorporated ProCal module comes in. This device will right the Speedo’s output, making certain that the stability manage system, transmission shift points, and engine efficiency are unaffected.

The adjustments the Upcountry add-ons make imply that the Gladiator gains five inches of ground clearance more than the common Sport and Willys alternatives. You also get a 47-degree method angle, 25-degree break-more than angle, and 33-degree departure angle more than the common Sport’s respective 40.eight-,18.four-, and 25-degree angles.

The Upcountry+ kit (pictured in the gallery) offers you the exact same goodies as the common Upcountry package but adds an AEV EX front bumper, non-winch cover plate, and that all-crucial AEV tailgate badge.

Those who want to do some severe off-road trail-blazing may possibly want to appear in the path of the AEV Level II package. Only obtainable for Rubicon models, the Level II kit adds a additional inch of ground clearance for a total of 16. It also improves the vehicle’s method angle to 57 degrees, break-more than angle to 26 degrees, and departure angle to 34 degrees.

There are some intriguing comparisons to be produced among the Jeep Wrangler, which can also be outfitted with an AEV Level II kit, and the AEV-spec Gladiator Level II. On the Gladiator’s brother, the kit only yields 14.two inches of ground clearance vs. 16 on the Gladiator. However, the Gladiator only gets 36 inches of water fording capacity, whereas the Wrangler can be submerged in up to 37.1 inches.

The Level II Gladiator sits on AEV Savegre II wheels with 37-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Also present is a two.five-inch AEV Dual Sport suspension kit with Bilstein 5100 shocks, an upgraded steering stabilizer, and JPP/Mopar flare extensions.
