Jeep Gladiator Kaizer Edition: SoFlo Customs turns the modern pickup into a Kaiser M715 lookalike

SoFlo Customs based the Kaizer Edition on the 2026 Jeep Gladiator, channeling the military Kaiser M715. Price starts at $79,999.

The Jeep Gladiator has just landed one of the most striking custom builds of the year. The Kaizer Edition by SoFlo Customs draws on the military Kaiser Jeep M715 from the late 1960s. This is not a restoration of an old truck or a factory Jeep special edition — it is a current 2026 Gladiator with a radically reworked exterior.

The whole idea behind the Kaizer Edition is to make the new pickup look like a utility military vehicle. Hence the boxy front end, the narrow grille, round headlights, tall hood, rugged bumpers and a deliberately stripped-down silhouette. The body wears a protective “Kevlar armor finish”, and the arches house 40-inch Yokohama Geolandar tires on 17-inch black wheels.

The mechanical side is far from cosmetic. SoFlo lists a 4-inch Apocalypse lift, reinforced suspension components, revised geometry, a steering stabilizer, a 9,500-lb (4,300 kg) winch, steel side steps, an aluminum sport cage and a roof-mounted light bar. To handle the oversized tires, the build runs 5.13 axle gears and a speedometer and shift calibration module.

The base engine is the 3.6-liter V6 rated at 285 hp paired with an 8-speed automatic. A 6.4-liter V8 HEMI 392 with 470 hp is offered as an option. Inside, the modern Gladiator kit stays in place: a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-view camera, power windows and power door modules. Upholstery is two-tone marine leather with diamond stitching. The Kaizer Edition starts at $79,999.
