Honey, Someone Slammed the Jeep!

A Completely Reworked Chassis

Like any pedigreed lowrider, the Co-Up Gladiator can raise or lower its ride-height on the run thanks to a completely re-worked chassis and independent air suspension. The stock Jeep underpinnings were torn off and thrown away. Then the chassis was totally reworked and air suspension applied to achieve the desired effect. The stock front axle is replaced by independent axle along with its necessary steering, electronics and hydraulics.

The rear end is then subjected to its own makeover. The chassis is chopped and channeled to incorporate an arch accommodate the Co-Up Gladiator’s vastly lowered poise, before benefiting a dipped black finish. Co-Up then fitted a Ram 3500 heavy-duty duallie double-wheel rear axle with its air suspension.

Chassis Sawn, Hammered, Welded & Adapted

The slammed Gladiator’s bodywork was sawn, hammered, welded and adapted to squeeze its new 22-inch wheels and 275 profile tires into the front. And double that width under the rear arches. And it is finished in a rich Honda NSX ruby red. The owner can power a flap open to reveal the Jeep’s air suspension components under the load bay.
