The TOPS Mule Jeep Gladiator: See Every Mod & Meet Our Sponsors! Media

Published: 1 week ago

When we filmed this video, we were getting ready to hit the road for Flagstaff and Overland Expo West. Now, as you’re watching, we’re preparing to head out to Overland Expo PNW in Redmond, Oregon!

No matter when you catch this video, you can always find the Jeep, aka the TOPS Mule, at the Overland Expo shows. If you’re at any Overland event in the future, come by and check out the build in person!

This video is all about giving a huge shoutout to the incredible sponsors who helped bring this Jeep build to life. Here’s a look at each company and what they contributed to the project:

KC HiLiTES (headlights, fog lamps, and light bar) – One of the first companies on board, they jumped in right from the beginning.

Toyo Tires (tires) – Gave us a great discount and helped us pick the perfect tires for the build.

Warn Industries (winch) – Provided the winch you see up front and have been super supportive of the whole project.

23 Zero (Armadillo A2/A3 rooftop tent, awning, and accessories) – Hooked us up with an awesome hard shell rooftop tent and awning. Fun fact: Craig actually went to high school with one of their team members!

Decked (truck bed drawer system) – Their Idaho-made drawer system keeps all our gear secure and organized.

Rosenberg Automotive (installation, tuning, winch install) – Matt has been working on Leo’s trucks for years and did all the fine-tuning and install work here.

Vega’s Repair (lift install, custom exhaust fabrication) – Omar at Vega’s did the lift and built the custom exhaust, tackling the challenges of our extended gas tank.

Xtrusion Overland (modular bed rack system) – Built the fully modular, customizable rack on the Jeep. We love how flexible it is for mounting all kinds of gear.

Factor 55 (winch accessories) – Provided all the winch accessories and attachments as a complete package.

Rhino-Rack (Stow-It utility holders, rack accessories) – Sent us their Stow-It clamps for free, making it easy to attach tools and shovels right to the rack.

Black Rhino Wheels (off-road wheels) – Supplied the wheels (including the spare) and were excited to be part of the build.

Long Range America (auxiliary 17-gallon gas tank, swing-out arms) – Added serious range and utility with their auxiliary tank and swing-outs.

Rock Slide Engineering (front bumper, running boards) – Provided heavy-duty running boards and the front bumper that houses the winch and lights.

We seriously appreciate every one of these brands, most of the products were ones Leo already trusted before this build, so we know they’re solid. If you’re thinking about upgrading your own rig, check these companies out!

There’s still more coming for the TOPS Mule, so stay tuned for updates.
And if you see us at Overland Expo PNW (or any other show in the future), come say hi and check out the build for yourself!
