We were only recently pleased that Ford was with the new Bronco brings back a real off-roader and thus expands the relatively sparsely populated segment of real Kraxler. But if you are honest then (at least so far) only Jeep brand vehicles are the ultimate off-road machines. For us the Wrnalger remains - at least for now - further the king of unpaved slopes. Especially when there were modifications to the off-roader. And one of these converted copies is this Jeep Wrangler of the JK model generation from 2014. A vehicle from Bruiser conversions was rebuilt. These are the ultimate jeep specialists who have been transplanting various V8-LS3 engines, HEMIs or Cummins turbo-diesel engines into jeeps of all kinds and turning them into monstrous machines for years.

And this vehicle took over 2 years to complete and devoured just under $ 190.000. The engine of the JK was once again swapped for an LS3-V8, which normally powers the sixth generation Corvette. In this vehicle, the engine has an impressive 450 hp and thus more than enough to get out of any situation on its own. And of course the many changes to the body also played a large part in the conversion. The Wrangler has a new steel frame in the rear area for the loading area, there was a GenRight front bumper with WARN winch including powerful tow hooks and a robust ram protection, plus a specially adapted roll cage, an invisibly built-in ARB air compressor and even a CB radio is included . And the new engine is attached to an Atlas 3.0 transfer case that enables an independent 4 × 4 configuration for the front and rear axles including all-wheel steering.

With special drive shafts, independent locks and King off-road racing dampers, the changes to the chassis are essentially rounded off. And even if the Wrangler looks like it is for the next apocalypse, it is quite comfortably equipped. There are some comfort features like an Alpine infotainment touchscreen with AM / FM / CD / XM, there is Bluetooth, a reversing camera, an LED control system and a classy Katskinz leather interior can also be seen on the seats and door panels. And of course that was just that rough details for conversion that has countless other modifications such as a fully-fledged spare wheel on the loading area or the many additional LED lights.
