MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS PAying it forward Holy moly, how time flies! October is just around the corner, which means the Gladiator Giveaway is almost over! It’s been an insane journey, from beginning to end, and we’re happy to have had the opportunity to share it with all of you! We never imagined that we would be in a position to not only build a monster Gladiator like this, but build it with the sole purpose of giving it away! It’s a dream come true for us, and hopefully for whoever the lucky winner is as well! We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to go the overland route, and finding the right quality parts was made that much easier with the help of Northridge4x4. Not only were they happy to support us mechanically with all three of their shops, but with such a short timeline for the build, it was awesome working with a company that excels at getting parts where they need to be QUICK! Now although Covid-19 forced us to cancel our original Alaska overland plans, the alternate journey of braving the Arizona Peace Trail in the dead of summer was EPIC! It showcased the performance and reliability of the Gladiator build beyond our expectations! For a couple of goofballs who don’t really know the first things about overlanding, we’re truly excited with how incredible this Jeep has turned out. And we hope you are too! The chance to pay it forward and put one heck of a grin on someone’s face is the sort of opportunity we live for. But with that being said, none of this would have been possible without the help of some incredible companies and amazing partners!! We owe it to them for helping us turn this dream into a reality, and of course for helping us build one insanely rad Jeep Gladiator!!!” KEVIN AND BRITTANY WILLIAMS Co-Founders E3 OffRoad Association
