Forget The RAM SRT-10, Someone Made A Jeep Wrangler SRT-10 With A Viper’s V10

A few brands under the Stellantis umbrella have garnered a reputation for stuffing ridiculous engines into vehicles they have no right being in. Back in 2004 there was the Ram SRT-10, a pickup with a Dodge Viper’s V10. More recently, there’s the Jeep Wrangler 392, which is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Somewhere in between those two is this Wrangler powered by a Viper V10.

And if that statement wasn’t wild enough on its own, the absurd creation was actually listed for sale on Hemmings with just 32,322 miles (52,017 km) on its odometer. That’s incredibly low mileage for a 16-year-old Jeep, but it’s obviously more of a cherry on top than the real star of this Wrangler’s show.

The vehicle started life as a 2005 Wrangler Unlimited, an already somewhat uncommon vehicle due to its 10-inch-extended wheelbase. Those 10 inches were crucial for this build, as they were what allowed the Viper‘s 8.3-liter V10 to fit in the engine bay. The swap was performed by Burnsville Auto Body and Off-Road, who actually sourced the engine from a Ram SRT-10 with similar mileage to the Jeep, and the only things giving it away are the SRT-10 badges and a custom vented hood. But for those who were hoping they could row their own gears in this Viper-powered Jeep, they’re out of luck as it is fitted with a 48RE 4-speed automatic transmission. That being said, it does feature numerous off-road upgrades to make sure it can shine off the beaten path.

The Wrangler now rocks a custom-built 241 RockTrac transfer case, a Currie 9-inch Ford front axle, a Currie Iron Jack 3 Dana 60 rear axle with 35-spline axles, Tom Woods 1350 U-joints, an 8-inch lift with long-arm suspension, Warn skid plates and rock slider, as well as new wheels and tires. As for non-functional mods, the Jeep also features LED lighting, “Viper” seat covers, a rear seat delete, a new sound system, and a backup camera.

Apparently, this Wrangler sold for $47,250. Not quite cheap, but then again that V10, plus the rest of the modifications, are probably worth it.
