It's actually a 3/4 ton truck with a Jeep body... so plenty capable of pulling that load. Not sure what caused the fire though.

Did they body swap a gladiator onto a 3/4 ton dodge? I thought they just put heavy duty axles and a Hemi in it, bobbed the bed and called it a 3/4 ton?

I guess they are blaming wiring harness? At least no one was hurt.

I understand it's a body swap.

on my phone I thought it was a Hummer 2

From what I can gather on their IG page, it's a Gladiator with a Hemi (one post says Hellcat, a couple others say 6.4, so who knows...), Ram truck transmission, 60 front axle and 80 rear, but appears to still be 100% gladiator frame and body.

They claim the factory fuse block is what ignited the fire.

 

[UNSTUCK]

Anyone see the irony in a fuse box catching on fire?

I seem to remember a bunch of early JLs going up in flames. Wonder if it was the same cause?

Wasn't that due to transmission coolant likes failing close to the exhaust/catalytic convertor, leading to combustion?

Hate to quote these guys, but...

And.. this is where I got the body swap info. Scott works for Jeep and knows a lot of people in the industry, including the Black Ops guys...

I would be very curious to see/read the build for that truck... Verify with pictures and such rather than make assumptions from a bunch of internet comments.

Granted it doesn't seem like the frame would/could have had anything to do with the incident.

I agree, not enough details.
