Presented by Mercedes-Benz of Draper – Building a Jeep is more addictive than many bad habits. You can’t just stop at fender flares, and before you know it, the value of a small home can be invested to offer the ultimate 4WD. Such is the case with this incredible JK. Located where all Jeeps can freely roam the west, our friends at Mercedes-Benz of Draper, Utah have a unique custom Jeep for you.
It began life as a stock JK before becoming an example of the ultimate Bruiser conversion. The Jeep specialists in Clearwater, Florida have mastered the electrical wizardry needed to control a boosted Chevrolet LS engine using the original Jeep Wrangler computer and body harness.
As such, all creature comforts and systems have been retained. Under the hood is a Kenne Bell 2.7 twin-screw supercharger atop a new LS3 Corvette/Camaro crate engine. Capable of 840 horsepower, it was safely tuned to 800 horsepower to offer civility on pump gas.
This power is sent to the ground through the latest Atlas 3.0 divorced (twin stick) transfer case. PSC developed a full hydraulic steering system for the massive Dana Ultimate 60 axles. They are loaded with 4.88 gears and Eaton lockers. Weld 20″ wheels are wrapped in 38 x 13.50 Toyo Open Country Mud Terrains.
Other goodies include JL audio with twin 12″s, CB radio, hydraulic bump stops, Yeti steering, Falcon shocks, 2-tone red/black leather, fabricated steel bumpers, and a healthy Warn winch. What you see is over $150,000 of time along with the best parts in the Jeep world.
