  • Vigilante 4x4 is another company taking old vehicles, retaining all of the classic design elements yet customizing and standardizing to produce multiple vehicles per year. I love how they give you the option for engine choices...392 Hemi, Hellcat or Hellephant! This thing sounds and drives like a modern vehicle yet looks like a stock Jeep with a bigger wheel/tire set up and they've nailed it so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    I might go so far to say this might be one of my favorite builds on the channel. Truly the best of old and new. Absolutely nailed it. Would love to see their take on the Blazer and Bronco.

    We actually bought a 1973 Jeep Wagoner with Quadra-Trac and a low range gearbox. Drive it from Idaho to Elkhart, IN to buy a 32ft Holiday Rambler travel trailer. It was an amazing vehicle for our larger family. We would actually take it and the trailer and go elk and deer hunting on Forest Service dirt roads. Would go anywhere. Just needed the basic tuneups, etc. This Jeep displayed here starts at $295,000! Granted the custom frame and suspension and the total build are spot on. But $295,000? It will rule the streets of Austin, Aspen and Jackson Hole for all the billionaires who want to show off on Friday night. This guy has totally forgot what a Jeep was for.

    When I was a kid my neighbour had an original Jeep Wagoneer which they used as their 'go to the lake' vehicle every weekend. They had to offroad the last hour or so through forestry roads and sometimes no roads to get to the lake. That old Jeep ha dings and scratches all down the side of it. But it always got them to the lake and back every weekend. I had the opportunioty to go with them numerous times and it was a blast every time. The Vigilante is an incredible rendition of really great vehicle, just improved where the original needed it. Be safe and stay well.

    • @crw3673
      @crw3673 Před 11 měsíci +3

      Exactly how I feel. I was loving the build, until I heard 300K. This is not for the average income consumer. This gentleman, could save half to two thirds of the price, if he recycled out or out source parts from different vendors. All that custom retooling gauges and stuff, drives up the cost tremendously. But to each his own. Love the exterior body, but huge cost savings on everything else.
