Wisconsin Metal Shop Designs ‘Fiery’ Jeep Gladiator
Jeeps have always been ‘hot’ sellers. Now, though, Metal Art of Wisconsin wants to make them, well, even hotter.
By now, you’ve surely heard about the reputation that follows Jeep owners. They’re obsessed with Jeeps, sure, but they’re more obsessed with their Jeep. Whether it’s a Wrangler or now a Gladiator it would be a lot harder to find a Jeep owner who isn’t overly infatuated with their Jeep. Now, among all the trove of Jeep merchandise made available to bewitched Jeep owners are fire pits that can be custom made to look just like their automotive companion.
As pointed out by Caleb Jacobs with The Drive, the details ironed out – or, welded out with steel – by Metal Art of Wisconsin cater to the off-road enthusiast in more ways than one. First, no matter what someone cooks from the top of the grill, it’s bound to have the prints of all-terrain tires (“road kill, anyone?”). Additionally, to fill the grill of fuel, you’e expected to lift the hood of the steel version. Just pretend it’s oil and not gasoline.
As far as size goes, it’s not as big as a real Jeep, but it keeps the image alive. For instance, the website says that the two-door Wrangler version of the Jrille (Greep?) is only 40 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 21 inches tall. So while it looks life-sized, it’s fairly portable. So, the next time a Jeeper takes their Wrangler off-road, they can make a bonfire out of their Jeep, without sacrificing their actual Wrangler.
The geniuses behind the Jeep-inspired portable fire pit want you to know that the designs they have are fully customizable. Have a red two-door Wrangler? Great, a powder and paint coating could be in order for a small fee. Currently, the fire pits are on sale for nearly $400, while their normal price is around $425. And while it takes up to four weeks to ship (because again, custom made and by hand), they’re well worth the wait.
Just imagine – you spent the day getting to your camping spot in your Jeep, and your off-road group is hungry and waiting for hot dogs, hamburgers, or steak. And you whip out a camping grill that looks exactly like the Jeep that got you to the campsite. You would be immortalized, as well as your off-roader.
