The punchy machine has received plenty of attention from the gearhead crowd over the years, and even if it is not exactly fresh anymore, it still makes headlines today. It’s either a tuned example that usually gets our attention, or one that is searching for a new home in the United States of America. And this is a case of both, as the pictured machine has been visited by the tuning fairy, and it is for sale as we speak.
SoFlo Customs is the tuner behind it, and the project is called the Kaizer Edition. Why is that? Because it features a Kaiser M715-inspired front end. This model was also called the “Five Quarter,” and in case you forgot, we are talking about an American light military truck that was based on the original Jeep Gladiator. The Kaiser M715 was made in Ohio from 1967 to 1969, and during this time, it is estimated that over 30,000 examples saw the light of day, packing a straight-six engine, a four-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel drive.
Truth be told, the pictured Jeep Wrangler rocks the Kaiser M715-inspired front fascia like a champ, this writer believes. And if you feel like you have seen design somewhere before, but you cannot put your finger on it, then you probably remember the Kaizer Edition version of the Jeep Gladiator that we wrote about last summer. That one was a lot more monstrous looking, and just like this Wrangler, it featured plenty of modifications, and was searching for a new home online back then.

This Jeep Wrangler features an Army Green Kevlar paint finish on the outside, sits on 20-inch five-spoke bronze Apocalypse wheels that have been shod in 37-inch Ridge Blade tires for enhanced grip, and also benefits from a 4-inch (100+ mm) lift kit. SoFlo Customs also mentions the 2.5-inch diameter heavy-duty monotube shocks, the front and rear upgraded trackbars, geometry relocation kit, adjustable control arms, heavy-duty steering stabilizer, and solid aluminum bump stops.
Besides these features, the modded Wrangler in question has a Mojave-style hood, a color-matched Baja front bumper with integrated LED spotlights, a new rear bumper, power retractable side steps, dedicated headlights with custom illumination, color-matched factory fender flares, cube lights with brackets for enhanced visibility off the beaten path, and a few other things that help it stand out from the crowd very easily.
Additional gizmos include the SoFlo King Ranch brown and black diamond-style leather interior, the 12-inch infotainment system, power door locks and windows, a reversing camera, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These are all mentioned on the tuner’s official website, alongside the powertrain, which is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged unit rated at 270 hp (274 ps/201 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, and paired with an eight-speed auto ‘box and four-wheel drive.

Even though it is listed as a used vehicle, the pictured Jeep Wrangler is actually a brand new ride, as its odometer read only 61 miles (98 km) at the time of cataloging. SoFlo Customs says that this is a 2026 model year machine, and it is located in West Palm Beach, Florida, in case you want to check it out in person before making the big step. However, we’d recommend getting in touch with the vendor, which is the tuner, if you plan to see this ride in the flesh.
What else should you know about it? That the asking price excludes tax, tag, title, and other official fees, and includes the $1,398 shop supply fee, and the $349 tag processing fee. But how much must one fork out if they want to buy this 2026 Jeep Wrangler Kaizer Edition? That would be $67,499.99, as this was the asking price at the time of writing. And to be honest, judging by the aggressive makeover, as well as other work that has gone into it, we initially thought that it would be much more than that.
That kind of money would get you a nice Rubicon X 2027 model year Jeep Wrangler straight from the dealer, with only the delivery miles under its belt. The Willys 392 requires spending a minimum of $70,995, and the Moab 392 has an MSRP of $79,995. The lesser Sahara, Smoky Mountain, Rewind, Rubicon, Willys, and Sport S start at $51,410, $50,545, $49,380, $47,130, $43,230, and $39,035, respectively, whereas the base Sport can be had from $36,635.
Now, if you feel like this modded Jeep Wrangler is worth the asking price, and you want to make it yours, then you should reach out to the tuner to discuss the details. But do you really dig this Kaiser-inspired makeover?
