## Caption

From the outside, Vigilante 4x4’s latest creation is a stunner, with a classic two-tone paint job and impeccable details that might make you think this Jeep has gone untouched since it first rolled out of the factory — but a peek under the hood reveals this 1979 Cherokee S is no ordinary 45-year-old SUV. Vigilante’s restorers have given it a hearty boost in power and performance with the help of a Dodge Viper-sourced V-10, to the tune of 825 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque.

Not just any Viper engine, mind you. This classic Jeep build’s engine bay holds a Viper GenV crate motor from Prefix, with the V-10 displacing a whopping 9.0 liters. It’s connected to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
