RUGGED RIDGE Jeep Gladiator - SEMA 2022

[wayoflife]

Ever since Truck Hero acquired Rugged Ridge, I wasn't sure what would become of the company or what direction their product line would head in. Well, at the 2022 SEMA Show, I was happy to see this Jeep Gladiator that was being featured outside and as you can see, it was adorned with a host of Rugged Ridge products including bumpers, rocker guards, metal fenders, hood latch/locks, roof rack, bed rack and bed spare tire mount.

I find the front bumper pretty nice, it's those warthog tusks that throw me off...

Clean build…I like the fact they went with tube for the bed rack…most are going with angle iron…

[jeeeep]

glad to see they didn't bastardize it. are those step cutouts in the rear bumper? looks like an afterthought jagged cut

I’m not a fan but I like a different kind of build.

I went back for another look and short of standing on it, I have to say that it actually looks pretty stout. Here's another shot of it.

I like the front bumper and those rear bed boxes.

I like the front bumper and those rear bed boxes.

A few of my buddies with late model toyotas have those boxes, they pivot and swing out towards the tailgate for easier access... They are pretty neat.

The front bumper is

Hey Eddie, any chance you could tell if that front skid would effectively cover what the factory Mopar skid does? I love Rugged Ridge's front bumpers, but I have those pesky Fox shock reservoirs hiding under my bumper (Mojave), so I'm kind of limited on what bumpers and skids I can run.

I really like this build. The wheels being color matched, the stockish appearance of the bumpers, and of course the bed rack looks great.

Tusks you say? Hmmm. I might have found the front bumper for my build!
