Chrysler’s Mopar division has revealed yet another awesome project car that will bow at the 2012 SEMA show, which kicks off in Las Vegas on October 30th. This hardcore machine is a HEMI-powered moving platform used to advertise Mopar’s latest aftermarket products for the Wrangler.
Yes, the Jeep Wrangler Sand Trooper is powered by a 5.8-liter HEMI crate motor pushing out 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of twisting force.

To promote its new might, the Wrangler gets 5 inches of wheel lift and a set of gigantic 42-inch Super Swamper Bogger tires wrapped around matte black wheels.

Cosmetics include offroad bumpers, grille, door sill guards, LED offroad lights and a vented hood for the big HEMI.

Inside, the Moparized Wranger has Katzkin leather seats, a reversing camera, slush mats and a prototype CB radio.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
