In this thrilling episode of Hoonigan's "This Versus That in the Dirt," we witness a clash of titans between the rugged Jeep Comanche and the family-oriented 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Allan's Jeep Comanche, a beast born from the junkyard, boasts a Texas Speed cam, churning out an impressive 297 horsepower through a 4065 transmission. Stripped of its front windshield for the sheer thrill of racing, this machine is a raw, unadulterated force to be reckoned with. With different tires strategically chosen for enhanced grip, the Comanche stands ready to unleash its power on the unforgiving terrain.

On the other side of the ring, we have Darren's 2020 Jeep Gladiator, a vehicle meticulously crafted for both performance and family comfort. With custom suspension, King shocks, and BFG race tires, this Gladiator is a true off-road marvel. Darren's attention to detail shines through with a desert 4-link setup, Curry F9 axle housings, and a rear-mount fuel cell for optimal weight distribution. Inside, the Gladiator boasts a PRP interior, high10 deck, and a Rockford Fosgate stereo system, offering both style and functionality for the whole family to enjoy.

As the race unfolds, predictions favor the Comanche's V8 engine and supercharger, while others rally behind Darren's Gladiator. In a nail-biting showdown, Darren's Gladiator emerges victorious despite grappling with traction control issues. The arrival of a surprise guest, Nick from Santa Barbara, adds another layer of excitement as he unveils his formidable Blazer build. Nick's Blazer proves to be a sturdy contender, challenging Darren's Gladiator to a thrilling rematch that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, the episode culminates in a celebration of the raw power, ingenuity, and unbridled spirit that define the world of off-road racing.
