Jeep Wrangler Hot Rod Has Steel Tube Widebody, Looks Like a Freak

Why? At first, it might seem difficult to lay out the reasons for which somebody would turn a Jeep Wrangler into a machine worthy of the Hot Rod label, even if we're talking about a rendering like the one staring at us right now.

Nevertheless, explaining such a mod isn't impossible. You see, with fabrication techniques evolving and social media bringing fresh builds closer to us than ever before, the need to get off the beaten path is greater than ever.

These days, the offroader projects that stand out are insane contraptions such as this in-the-making Hellephant-swapped Jeep Gladiator and beyond. And the monster portrayed by these pixels seems to be a perfect representation of the latter.

Yes, this Wrangler features the kind of exoskeleton you'd expect from a custom Jeep, but this is fitted in the form of a widebody, which might just be the standout feature of the project. heck, even the wing of the contraption comes in rugged form, so it can blend in, if this can be said about such a piece.

Then there's the milimetric ride height of the machine, which hopefully comes with air springs. Otherwisem the badge of this machine would be nothing more than pure irony, especially since the thing would be brought to a stop by the tiniest rock.

The engine compartment, which is now open, we find a V8 and a pair of turbos. So this puppy can run with the big boys.

Digital artist Rostislav Prokop is the one behind this rendering and you should know that the artist's vision isn't as extreme as you might think.

For one thing, this Jeep is pretty close to an actual build of the sort, one we discussed in November last year. We're looking at an... orange Wrangler that has been chopped into hot rod shape by French builder Alexandre Danton.

There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
