Our good friends at America’s Most Wanted 4×4 (AMW4x4) in Holly, Michigan are known for building some of the most bad ass Jeep® vehicles on the planet.

Starting with a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon as its base, the AMW4x4 team built an amazing monster for the 2022 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event. Using its “AMW 1000” package, the Gecko Green-colored Gladiator featured the outlandish 7.0-liter (426 cubic-inch) HELLEPHANT HEMI V8 with a 3.0-liter IHI supercharger on top from the Mopar crate engine program. From the factory, the HELLEPHANT put out a whopping 1,000 horsepower and 950 lb.-ft. of torque at the crank without any modification.

Nicknamed “Highlighter”, this latest project started to life as a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave painted in the eye-catching High-Velocity Yellow. Thanks to some clever engineering using AMW4x4’s turn-key Demon program, the Pentastar engine was been dumped in favor a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Demon® V8 delivering an amazing 840 horsepower and 770 lb.-ft. of torque. The Demon engine is mated to a ZF-sourced 8HP95 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing for seamless and swift shifting to help put all that power down.

 
Owning a Hellephant Trackhawk myself I can't imagine going WOT from a dead stop in the Gladiator















The Trackhawk it handles well...but with a Hellcat in my CJ7 with a 4L80 and old style Quadra Trac from a 1976 Waggy Triangled double triangles axles with 16 inches of travel front and rear on coilovers



its like a bad day in a Baja Trophy truck.
