2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon w/ Bison Overland Camper :: Featured Classified

Yes, this is it, the one and only bespoke Gladiator built by overland royalty Phil of Down2Mob Overland. This rig really needs no introduction, but for those unfamiliar with its story, this is a very special, no-expense-spared build and one of the most documented overland rigs on the internet, with the entire build and subsequent adventures documented on YouTube. In stock configuration, the Gladiator is already a pinnacle overland platform, but with the support of almost unparalleled aftermarket support, today’s offering has been completely reimagined for exploration. The base vehicle is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (78,000 miles), which has been upfitted with extensive premium modifications and topped with a custom Bison Overland camper. The specs are more akin to a luxury expedition truck than a smaller rig such as this. Highlights include a four-season-ready Bison Overland FRP composite camper, a full custom interior, a large lithium house battery system, 21 gallons of freshwater with a water heater, extensive cab upgrades, and much more. I love builds that integrate maximum comfort and amenities in the smallest possible external footprint, and in this regard, today’s offering is very impressive. The vehicle modifications alone (without taking into account the cost of the habitation box, camper interior, house systems, or truck itself) cost in excess of $99,000 (not including labor), making the complete package a bargain at $95,000 (see the original listing for a full cost breakdown). Today’s build demonstrates that four-season liveability and pinnacle capability need not exist in a vacuum and that when combined, they create a rig that’s truly exceptional.

From the Seller:

“No issues with the Gladiator or Bison Overland build, both are in excellent condition. What we enjoyed most about this setup was being able to access those hard-to-reach places (thanks to the Dana Spicer Ultimate 60 Axles, 5.38 Gears, and 40-inch tires), while still being able to enjoy a fully equipped all-season living space with everything you need to be comfortable (even a hot shower). The Bison Overland roof raises 18 inches with three layers: a screen, clear plastic, and/or an insulated layer. Another excellent feature is that you can sit/sleep/cook in the camper without needing to raise the top. The table lowers to create a queen-size bed.”

2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

The Gladiator is fitted with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 285 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque, and returns a combined 19 mpg (impressive range is provided by an auxiliary Long Range America fuel tank for a total of 36 gallons capacity and approximately 550 miles of range). A dependable engine is matched with impressive capability thanks to a body-on-frame design, 4WD, high and low range, skid plates, Dana Spicer Ultimate 60 axles, front and rear lockers, 5.38 gearing, a winch, and a lifted and uprated suspension. Inside, these backcountry credentials are balanced with a well-equipped interior with driver comforts that include:

Infotainment system with navigation
