Burned out Jeep Gladiator. 4 Wheel Parts Build.

Apparently 4 Wheel Parts here in Charlotte built this Gladiator, it's a couple weeks old. I'm guessing $65-70k in this build?

 

WTF

 

Well then...it was actually looking really nice tbh

 

Looks like it was stolen and then set on fire!

 

Word is that it was electrical. Right on the interstate here in town.

 

Tires, wheels and winch anyone?

 

I wonder if the tires would be any good even? Fire was hot enough to literally melt through the doors, seems like the rubber would be to brittle.

 

Wow, that's a bummer. What a shame.

 

Tops of the tires look melted

 

Just looking at the pics in your post, Im wicked surprised the doors melted but not the alloy wheels..? Wonder if the gladiator uses aluminum or some other non-steel material for the doors?

 

ah yes the classic smittybilt winch electrical fire risk

 

Winch it self seems fine, doubt it was the cause. Wiring of the winch may have been the issue but has nothing to do with the brand right.

 

DDAAAAAANNNNNNGGGGG!

 

yeah just pulling smittybilt's leg, but I am curious as to what actually caused the fire? Hopefully something installation wise and not a factory issue

 

Gotcha, I have an X20 in the box waiting for install.

 

didya get that blackfriday pricing on it? Good purchase. Still kicking myself for missing it.

 

Oh the classic 02 cockstar wheels

 

I paid 430 when it dipped down for a couple days on Amazon. Was actually down to 380 ironically, at 4WP, for a couple days too. But I had already bought mine.

 

Someone forgot to add circuit breakers
