AMW4x4 Build Affordable Gladiator Sport S 392 Package

For years, America’s Most Wanted 4×4 (AMW4x4) has been at the forefront of crafting some of the toughest 392 HEMI® V8-swapped Jeep® Wranglers and Gladiators in the world. Their latest creation—a 2024 Jeep Gladiator Sport S—proves that you don’t need to sacrifice value to own a powerhouse. This AMW4x4 conversion offers exceptional off-road capability and rugged performance for enthusiasts craving the perfect balance of practicality and adrenaline.

Under the hood, AMW4x4 has tuned the 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI® “Apache” V8 to produce 505 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. Paired with the same 8-speed 8HP75 heavy-duty automatic transmission found in the Wrangler Rubicon 392, this Gladiator delivers serious muscle while maintaining reliability and drivability.

This Anvil-colored Gladiator Sport S comes equipped with Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) enhancements to handle the toughest trails. These include a 2-inch lift kit featuring Bilstein shocks, dual-rate coil springs, and adjustable track bars. The setup is complemented by 17-inch KMC KM552 IMS wheels wrapped in 35×12.5R17LT Nitto Ridge Grappler rubber, ensuring superior grip and stability on any terrain.

Compared to Jeep’s factory-built Wrangler Rubicon 392—which starts at around $100,000—this AMW4x4 Gladiator Sport S offers a unique alternative. For $106,243, you get the same legendary 392 HEMI® V8 performance, off-road capability, and premium features but with the added utility of a pickup truck bed. While slightly pricier than the Wrangler Rubicon 392, the Gladiator provides a more versatile platform for enthusiasts looking to haul gear, tow, or explore in style.

This specific build is being sold through Keffer Jeep® in Charlotte, North Carolina. Unlike AMW4x4’s high-end builds that can easily exceed $140,000, this model emphasizes accessibility without compromising quality. Inside, the Gladiator features a black leather interior, the new 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 system, and AMW4x4’s signature Wrangler Rubicon 392 hood with custom graphics.

AMW4x4 owner and founder Jared Petiprin and his team have offered more affordable packages for their builds in recent months. Recently, the Holly, Michigan-based upfitter announced two new packages focused on the popular 6.4-liter and supercharged 6.2-liter HELLCAT crate engines, backed with JPP parts and accessories for both the Wrangler and Gladiator. This allows the best factory-backed parts, combined with AMW4x4’s expertise, to be swapped over without sacrificing engineering, quality, and reliability standards, putting that big power into the hands of the average enthusiast.
