2024 Jeep Gladiator

“PNK JT”

When it comes to standing out in the Jeep scene, few rides can compete with PNK JT—a jaw-dropping 2024 Jeep Gladiator owned and built by Cali Keith of Edgewater, Florida. Painted in a vibrant Tuscadero Pink and riding high on 30-inch KG1 wheels wrapped in 44-inch Fury tires, this build screams bold style and off-road dominance. Featured in the July 2025 issue, this build is more than just a pretty face—it’s packed with performance, personality, and serious attention to detail.

The Backstory: From SEMA Inspiration to Street Star

Cali isn’t new to the game, but PNK JT marks her first full-on custom build from start to finish. Inspired by her 2021 Wrangler SEMA build, this Gladiator project kicked off in July 2024 and took about 8 months to complete. It went straight from the dealership to the talented crew at RYD Motorsports, where it received an intense transformation—complete with lift, suspension, wheels, bumpers, lighting, and more.

“I’ve been around Jeeps for a while—Wranglers, Gladiators—you name it,” Cali says. “But this one? This one’s my favorite.”

Lifted Life: Suspension, Driveline & Frame Mods

This Jeep isn’t just for show—it’s a full-blown Pro-Level build. Sitting on an 18-inch lift, with carbon shocks front and rear, airlift management system, and a four-link setup by RYD, the chassis setup alone is a head-turner. Add in F-250 Super Duty axles and spindles, and you’ve got a Gladiator that’s not only sky-high but ready to flex.

The attention to detail continues with custom brackets, airbags, Viair compressors, and Air Lift carbon bags, ensuring the ride is as smooth as it is aggressive.

Custom Touches from Top to Bottom

From the Rockmonster hood to the Bodyguard bumpers, sliders, fenders, and inner fenders, the exterior of PNK JT is completely dialed in. Rigid Industries lighting gives it that unmistakable glow, while a-pillar brackets keep everything mounted clean and functional.

Inside, Cali’s not done yet—but she’s already got a clean audio setup with DS18 amps and speakers installed and plans for a custom interior and bed setup in the works. “We’re not done—just getting started,” she laughs.

Big Thanks & Future Plans

Cali gives a huge shoutout to Mark at RYD, as well as Bodyguard Bumpers, KG1, Fury, Rigid, P3 Billet, and of course, her husband for the support throughout the build. The plan moving forward? More upgrades inside, a killer bed setup, and possibly a full audio overhaul.

PNK JT: A Statement, Not Just a Build

PNK JT isn’t just a lifted Gladiator—it’s a statement. It’s a reminder that wild color, next-level lift, and custom craftsmanship can come together in one awesome package. Whether it’s at a show or out on the streets of Florida, you’re not missing this ride when it rolls by.
