To accommodate these tires, custom-fitted Dana 60 axles with 5.38:1 gears were installed. The exterior features custom carbon fiber fenders, a unique stripe reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s race cars, and a distinctive Poison Apple Red paint job. The interior boasts custom black leather seats, a Rhino-lined floor for easy cleanup, and a race-style dashboard finished in Poison Apple Red.

The Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept showcases Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) and features a striking two-tone design with Ginger Snap metallic paint and a black retro graphic.
