We may have the solution for you if you like the look of older GWs but still want modern powertrains or systems.
Vigilante, a US-based Jeep Restoration company, just presented its Grand Wagoneer version based on an older generation. SUV . It is a restomod project, which includes performance and visual enhancements. The goal is to make the ride more comfortable and powerful than it ever has been before.
Customers can choose one of three HEMI engines to power the retro-looking machine. They have power from 485 horsepower (362 Kilowatts) up to 1,000 horsepower (746 kW). There’s more to the V8 engine than just the V8. The suspension has been completely redesigned with Eibach coil springs, Fox dampers and a replacement for the original leaf spring set.
The chassis is not in the standard form. To handle increased power, the chassis has been strengthened. Six-piston Baer brake calipers have greatly improved braking performance. For better traction, all-terrain BF Goodrich tires transmit power from the HEMI engine directly to the ground.
Vigilante CEO Daniel van Doveren explains, “The creation and maintenance of this platform was a difficult task.” It was difficult and took a lot of perseverance, but it paid off. It took thousands of hours to achieve this extraordinary result through Vigilante.
