Arctic Spyder
ABOUT THE BUILD
The Arctic Spyder began as a bone-stock 2012 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Arctic Edition, dropped off by a customer who wanted something far beyond a factory trim package. The goal was to build a show-quality Jeep that highlighted Poison Spyder’s full JK product line while doubling as a test platform for our prototype coilover conversion system.
Phase 1 of this build focused on custom paintwork, LED upgrades, and a complete Poison Spyder armor package. Although this stage was designed for shows and events, the Arctic Spyder was built with future capability in mind. Phase 2 featured drivetrain upgrades like Dana 60 axles and an Atlas II transfer case, making it fully trail-ready.
The center of this build was the Arctic White color. A lot of our armor was paint-matched, while components like the Crusher Flares and Brawler Rockers were finished in a custom two-tone brushed-and-white scheme. This build also featured blue accents throughout the beadlocks, skid plates, and vinyl cutouts tying the entire theme together. The result is a clean, detailed build that really shows off what Poison Spyder can do, using the same production parts our customers run every day.
