Jeep Wrangler Custom Is a Show-stopping Beast for a Steep Price

Jeep JK

Custom JK rock crawler will bash any boulder you throw at it. It’ll bash your bank account for $100K, too.

Building a show vehicle is a slippery slope. You start out with a plan, usually one that’s pretty decisive. But then you eventually realize that winning trophies requires some serious devotion. Things like less-than-perfect paint or even a rusty bolt can be the difference between winning and losing. Thus, you have to possess both deep pockets and some rabid obsession to succeed. And it’s safe to say that the owner/builder of this incredible Jeep JK Wrangler that we found on Craigslist has both.

The seller claims to have invested the substantial sum of $100,000-plus on this Jeep JK build. And judging by how insane it is, we don’t doubt that. His efforts have also scored him enough show trophies to warrant a new room in the house. But the beauty of this build is that it isn’t just some show pony or mall crawler. It’s actually built to climb just about anything that gets in its way.

The meat of the build is a 10.5-inch lift and long travel suspension, all of which is custom made. There’s a substantial 18 inches of travel up front and 16 in the back, which is enough to get over most rocky terrain. The whole thing rides on Fox shocks with remote reservoirs and triple Eibach coils at each corner.

The rest of the mod list on this amazing Jeep JK reads like most guy’s wish list. From the twin Dana 60 diffs to massive Wilwood brakes. The only problem? Well, this thing’s almost too pretty to tear up on the trails. The acres of powder-coating can only take you so far, after all. But that’s a choice for the new owner to make. Perhaps you can fill up your trophy case and the retire to the rocks? That’s what we’d do, anyway!
