Demon-Powered Two-Door Jeep Wrangler Will Blow Your Socks Off

Posted on by

The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 packs a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) and is certainly no slouch. However, it pales in comparison to this Wrangler that’s outfitted with FCA’s 6.2-liter supercharged Demon V8.

This particular Wrangler came to life through RubiTrux in North Carolina and thanks to the new Demon engine, churns out an incredible 808 hp and 717 lb-ft (972 Nm) of torque. Making this particular example all the more impressive is the fact that it is a short-wheelbase, two-door Wrangler which should make driving it a bit more… interesting.

Indeed, in a promotional clip for the off-roader, RubiTrux shows just how accelerative it is off the line and the burnouts it can do without breaking sweat. It also happens to sound truly demonic and while it may not look very different than a Wrangler fresh off the factory floor, the sound alone will let other motorists around you know that this thing is far from stock.

In addition to fitting the Demon engine, RubiTrux manufactured a billet machined transfer case adapter to ensure everything works together as it should. The off-roader has also been equipped with a lift kit, Fuel off-road wheels with 37-inch tires, and a unique front bumper that houses a winch.

It’s unclear how much RubiTrux charges for a conversions like this, but having the company slot a 707 HP Hellcat powertrain into the Wrangler costs a cool $58,850.

Cummins-Swapped Dodge Charger Loves To Roll Coal

Posted on by

The Dodge Charger is a dime a dozen in the United States so making one that stands out can be a bit of a challenge. Enter this modified Charger, unlike any other we’ve come across.

This car was briefly listed up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and while the listing has since been removed, we still have photos and details about the customized sedan. It is ‘intriguing’, to put it lightly.

Sitting in place of the 3.5-liter V6 that the 2007 Charger SXT once had is a 5.9-liter Cummins turbodiesel straight-six. The valve cover and turbocharger of this engine have been painted green and it has been paired with a 48RE four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. As standard, this engine is rated at 325 hp and 610 lb-ft (827 Nm) of torque, The Drive notes.

As these photos show, the owner doesn’t seem all that concerned with power and has tuned the Cummins engine so it can roll coal and it does just that. It also has an exhaust exiting directly out of the hood and is more than happy to spin up its rear wheels if you give the throttle pedal a bootful.

While the engine swap appears to have been a success, the owner has also repainted the car in matte black and it hasn’t been quite so well done. In fact, it looks like the owner simply grabbed a few cans of spray paint and went to town on the Charger.

The car had an asking price of $8,000 when it was available on Facebook Marketplace.
