Green Goblin is our Jeep Gladiator Rubicon built for exploring back roads, remote campsites, and places where the pavement ends. It is designed as a reliable adventure platform, combining trail capability, off-grid power, and comfortable camping.

This page is a living build list. Most of the equipment listed below is installed and has been tested in the real world. Other items represent planned upgrades as Green Goblin continues evolving into a long-distance adventure platform.

Build Philosophy

Green Goblin is not built as a show Jeep. Every modification has a purpose: increasing reliability, extending time off-grid, improving trail performance, or making camp more comfortable.

The goal is a self-sufficient platform capable of handling everything from weekend trips in the Arizona backcountry to longer remote adventures.

This build is actively evolving. Most equipment listed below is installed and field tested. Future upgrades will be added as Green Goblin continues preparing for longer adventures.
