Default West Coast Customs Zippo Jeep Build RIPP Supercharged

RIPP Supercharged

West Coast Customs is one of the most popular names when talking about customized cars. The company amazed the audience every time with its out of the ordinary customizations. The latest project from West Coast Customs revealed a one-of-a-kind crossbreed between a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and a…Zippo lighter.

The one-of-a-kind creation could be easily called the smoker’s dream car.The Zippo Car was unveiled on at the 2011 Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race held at Watkins Glen International.

“We could have chosen any number of vehicles for this project, but the Jeep was the most fitting. There are many parallels between our brands – American-made, rugged, tough and dependable. In addition, the nature of the Jeep makes it the ideal vehicle to help us promote and share all the great things we’re doing with our Outdoor Line,” George Duke, Zippo owner explains on Zippo's website.

As we are accustomed by WCC the Zippo car has received a flat screen at the rear and a functional winch in the front. With eye catching modifications, West Coast Customs took a stock 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and converted it into the ultimate Zippo vehicle. The Zippo Jeep includes outstanding features like a fill lift kit, supercharger, custom built front bumper and grill, LED lighting around the outside of the vehicle to simulate fire as well as a giant windproof lighter which has replaced the Jeep’s standard spare tire mount. Furthermore the customizing process will be revealed on an upcoming episode of “Inside West Coast Customs.” The episode will air this fall when “Inside West Coast Customs” will debut on Discovery’s upcoming Velocity Network

Is that a custom rack on top? I'm really, really diggin on the rack. The grille is alright, and I understand why they chose that look, but I don't know about trading the seven slot grille for the holes.
