Savvy Off-Road Prepared Gladiator In Spidertrax 4600 Stock Class...

The all-new 2020 Jeep® Gladiator, is going racing at this year’s Every Man Challenge during the King of the Hammers Desert off-road race. Behind the wheel of Jeep’s new mid-size pickup is motorsports legend, Robby Gordon. He is will be sharing the driving duties with two-time King of the Hammers champion Erik Miller. The two will be competing in the Spidertrax 4600 Stock Class.

Gordon will be tasked with the high-speed portions of the course, while Miller will demonstrate Gladiator’s unmatched off-road capability in the tight rock sections of the famed Hammers trails.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Race Truck Prepared By Savvy Off-Road. (Jeep).

Savvy Off-Road, an aftermarket shop based in Corona, California, is handling competition preparations, bringing expertise gained while earning the overall win at five consecutive Every Man Challenges from 2012 to 2016, and again in 2018.

Savvy Off-Road created a custom link-and-coil suspension with Fox remote reservoir shocks, and added Dynatrac 60 front and rear axles, beadlock wheels with 35-inch Falken Wildpeak M/T tires, a winch and a safety cage. Gladiator Rubicon’s “Redical Red” interior remains relatively unchanged, though Sparco racing seats have been added and rear seats have been removed. The Gladiator is powered by the same 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, that will be found on the production model.
