SEMA Time again!

Posted by MarkH on 2008/11/7 10:56:59 (652) reads

During a walk through SEMA's massive truck and off-road section in the south hall of the Vegas Convention Center, my eyes landed on Orange Crush. Specifically, they landed on the 426 Hemi badge on the hood of this heavily modded Jeep Wrangler. Yeah, that's a 7.0-liter V8.

"Did you really fit that in this Wrangler?" I asked the man minding the stand for Crocker Off-Road Performance, which is based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"It didn't like it, but we did it," he replied.

Love the wheels & rubber; make mine a manual!

Who cares how fast a Wrangler can go, let's see it crawl over some stuff without breaking drive shafts, axles, etc. then i'll be impressed that they build a capable Jeep.

I also drove it over 100mph for ~4 hrs straight (there were few other cars around). Thank God for radar detectors...and luck... I guess that just puts me in the insanely crazy club. OK, you can return me to my padded cell now... I'm better now. As for the 7.0L HEMI... hey, it's got a LOT of torque, too, so it does have some off-road function. It kinda reminds me of those crazy vertical hill climbers you see on TV. If you want really crazy fast...check out this 900HP "world's fastest JEEP" . Only 1.3 sec from 0-60mph; 1/4 mi in <9sec @151mph!
