EXTERNAL FEATURES
Built on a 6in RHS steel chassis built in-house , with 16in alloy wheels with Cooper tyres and 12in electric drum brakes , the van has a commanding presence .
On the subject of the chassis , the Gator X ’ s has a special polyurethane Raptor coating – similar to the material that some tradies use to protect the tray of their utes . The Raptor coating has been applied to the main chassis rails , cross members , the drawbar , the rear bumper , and the side nudge bars . This material protects against rust and is repairable in the event it is chipped .
A few things stood out to me with the Gator X . First , JB Caravans has paid attention to underbody protection , with protection fitted to both 95L water tanks , as well as the 95L grey water tank .
I liked that the van also has rear recovery points as well as a sensible amount of external storage options .
All in all , the exterior of the JB Gator X is eye-catching , tough and practical .
