GRDLOC: The Unstoppable Monster Jeep CJ
We wanted to push the boundaries of what a Jeep could be while still qualifying as a Jeep. We ended up with GRDLOC. This CJ7 has been given a new life with 46" tires, 3.0 internal bypass shocks, and a factory supercharged V8.
Builder Nic Ashby takes you through all the upgrades we made in this video and shows you some of the craziest obstacles he's taken on so far. We're looking to push this Jeep to it's breaking point, stay tuned.

So awesome to see something like this actually getting used, getting scuffs and scratches and not just pampered& trailered around to shows.
Exactly what I was thinking, they use it for what its meant for as well as showing its beauty off.
This jeep is definitely one of my top 3 favorite jeeps I've seen in any of these KZhead channels and I've seen a lot! Nice ride dude!🤙
most amazing jeep I've ever seen!
Morgan ML3 thanka
The only thing I want to mention is that not only the JEEP is awesome but the driver is the point 👍you done a very good job 👏
dolarmangr we will pass that along 🤘🏼
@@RockstarGarage keepidap...bro
I love Mischief Maker but Gridloc is the BADEST thing I've ever seen !!!! Simply In LOVE !!!!
We agree 😜
Gotta love the rear end picking up 10" when you gas it 😂 lot of anti squat
Jordan Harris 😂😂😂
RockstarGarage I'm assuming it's that way to help climb some steeper hills?
We use it break over obstacles
My TJ approves. I want a project similar to this.
Anyone else see the loose upper rear control arm bolt @ 4:27. Lol Absolutely awesome build!
I did
Amazing jeep, love the supercharged caddy motor. At 4:48 looks like the bolt is coming out of the upper link on front end. Please check on that :)
Only two people “love” that engine, that I’ve ever headed of!
@@JeepCherokeeful OK
Baddest Jeep on the planet !! 👍
WOW!!!! AWESOME BUILT HANDS-DOWN !!!!!
You Gotta be rolling in some serious coin to have one of these as your play vehicle. So sic! Way out of my league!
Yup! after all of those components/parts and engine that built around that shitbox, what "CJ7" about it?? Basically, with all those built around a portable john, coffee can you'd got the same result
I get so lucky to get meet and run with you guys and what I love about you guys is you never judge anyone if their skill is not at their level. Your build is absolutely amazing and Holly Jeep is also incredible as well, you have an absolutely incredible team they are all amazing in every way shape and form!
That is an incredible Jeep. I love it!!
It’s awesome! The mechanic, esthetic and final product to make 4x4.
That thing is insane
An amazing team, phenomenal garage, and a bada$$ build!!
CK Killinger thanks!

Been a rzr guy for a while but this jeep alone has got me about to pour some concrete to extend the garage! I've gotta build one!!! That thing is nasty
WoW This car is best CJ ever I seen
Le Douche 4x4! Everything you don't need, to enjoy OHV trails.
You don't need a lot of things in life...I manage to have fun with my humble little stock Rubicon...but you bet your ass if I had a no limit budget...that fun would multiply exponentially. Bummer you have to be so bitter...
Coolest jeep on the planet. Well done.
vetten76 thanks!
awesome
Watching this from haiti bro awesome ...👍
the rear diff is insane, big. Some cars hve 2 calipers per corner but your brakes seem great enough.
Nice jeep nic
What a sweet toy you have there
Ken Gabrielson thanks
If anyone cares or doesn't know, his shirt is from Colion Noir here on KZhead. *Pew Pew* 👍✌️
K Digiacomo 2A 👍🏼
Glad to see i wasn't the only one who noticed
Good eye there
Still one of my favorite builds
Alright. Blackopps is now my second favorite jeep. This thing is amazing!! I have a Jeep and I drive a Cadillac as my DD so this set up is extra awesome to me!
Every Jeep is cool it’s own way! Thanks for the support! What kinda Caddy?
@@RockstarGarage 2005 STS. Just got in December. Got Tons and 40s and new lift, ARBs and hydro assist going in on April 24th on my JK so pretty much from the floor down will be new and I decided on the Caddy for a DD.
Badass!
@@RockstarGarage I hope so. I now know what they mean by Just Empty Every Pocket : )
good job
abdul salam thanks
Very very nice friend 👍👌
There was a bolt about to come out of your fourlink on rear,could see it good in video.
Man impressive to see that 60 handle those 46!
it is reinforced like crazy tho
Tem esse jeep no Brasil é maravilhoso parabéns para todos vcs
m loving it
Rocky Rovei thanks!
Best Jeep out there!
Janessa Clegg thanks!!!!! 😍
anyone see that loose af bolt at 4:30 lmao
HummerH3 Tv yes it was being replaced during the filming that’s why it was on the lift
🙋🏼♂️😂
Good EYE!
I did see that... and saw this before I said something... I thought I was all smart.... guess I'm still late to the game.
@@RockstarGarage pro rply 🤣
Great video. Would love to see a full video on the comanche
kyle balcerzak sounds good
Dope
MaxSmell210 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Good Jeep.
9929kingfish thanks
Damm i want my mall crawler to look just like that one. So beautiful
Incredible build nic 🙌🏻
Adventures of Jeepheraddict thanks!
รถยนต์สวยงามมากครับ
What magnaflow mufflers are they? I don't see them that long on their site. Also, guessing 2.5"?
“Which is pretty rad”
AZAUTOMAN AZ NATIVE 😂🤘🏼
This thing is a beast. Seems like it eats components. Very cool. #jtrspartacus.
bagus sekali jeep nya....pingin punya
Great carrrrrrr
fotofeil photo & video thanks
Yeah, I just go to my local 4x4 shop & get the parts that I need to build another Jeep like that. Lol. Nice custom build guys.
Greg Phillips not sure if that was a dig or a compliment 🧐
RockstarGarage mostly a compliment. Just jealous I can’t afford a toy like that. I live in S.Fl. I do have a swamp buggy & it’s a lot of fun. All B.S. aside, nice rig.
Swamp buggies are badass!
TOTALLY RAD ! ! ! NUFF SAID
Jerrod Corey 😂🤘🏼
All the rigs i have built. The question of when does it stop being a jeep has came up many times. I guess when the body comes off and you tube it to a rock buggie. Or when DMV tells me it's no longer a jeep. Take your pick. Remember. Beauty is in the eye of the creator.
Bad ass rig no doubt,,but Everything is stoppable😉💪
rock slide steps r cool any build just NOW slick option.
Never seen a Jeep rise up like a KING JEEP !!! WOW This has to be the TOP BUILD !!! I guess it comes down to MONEY !!! I guess 175 K Dollars.....
The jeep at that time had the original 100hp engine too ,if I remember correctly. Gotta love them gears .
Wicked...
BADASS friend 🏁🐺 LOBO TICO PURA VIDA 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
Nic, What air pressure you running in the tires, not much squat at all?
On the Baja claws we ran 10 lbs any less you would pop a bead at flex, on the pro xs it’s a little softer but we now have double beadlocks so we run 6-8 lbs and they still look like they have 20-25lbs
I have no clue what anything is but it looks real tough 🤷🏿♂️
Great video, great content, my favourite jeep on the regular internet. If you want to make some really interesting content while you have an amazing experience you should talk to the snow wheelers club in Kelowna, British Columbia. Joel or Devon Villeneuve or Kelly Madore, they are all on fb. I think grdlck would do well in the snow. You might wish you had rear steer, but you’ll have a wheeling experience you’ll never forget. Again, fabulous build. Great video.
Jimmy Paulgaard sounds fun!
Wow
I really want this machine
Fucking beautiful!! Love this build!!
Looks like your front links could've used a couple of more degrees between them, front axle seem to wander from side to side a bit.. But sick looking/running rig!
There’s literally no more room left for degrees they have dual trianglulated front and rear. They have the most separation they can have 🙌🏻
@@RockstarGarage Just about figured as much, room can be hard sometimes and compromises must be made, as long as it works 😁
I love this jeep but the trail reaper is my favorite jeep build, it just needs lsx power
I didn't see the tires buckle once. What psi are you running?
