1988 Grand Wagoneer – Correcting Original Flaws for 810 HP Hellcat Power.
This late-model classic addresses the original vehicle's "engineering flaws and poor quality control". Stripped to the metal, it utilizes Vigilante boxed frame rails to support the 810 hp Hellcat Redeye V8. We replace the outdated braking system with Baer 6-piston calipers. The wheels were 3D scanned and reconfigured from 15x7 to 17x8 to accommodate the massive brakes. Luxury features include Rolls-Royce inspired sheepskin carpet and Moore & Giles finest leather.
1966 Gladiator – High-Performance Foundations for the Classic Truck.
This classic 1966 Gladiator received a full performance conversion. It showcases Vigilante expertise by installing the 6.4L 392 HEMI engine with a 6-speed manual TREMEC TR-6060 transmission. The build relies on robust components like the Atlas-II transfer case and Currie Dana 44/60 axles. Superior handling is achieved through EIBACH coils and FOX RACING 2.0 shock absorbers.
