Overview
Vigilante 4x4’s latest build takes the full-size Cherokee SJ and transforms it into a modern muscle SUV. Powered by a 6.4L 392 HEMI V8 crate engine producing 485 horsepower, this restomod sits on a custom Vigilante chassis with Fox suspension, six-piston brakes, and Currie-built axles. Fresh from a bare-metal restoration with test miles since completion, it blends period-correct styling with contemporary performance and luxury, available now on consignment for $315,000 in Johnson City, TX.

- High-Performance Powertrain: The 6.4L 392 HEMI V8 crate engine produces a factory-rated 485 horsepower, backed by a Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual transmission. An Atlas-II transfer case and Currie Dana 44/60 axles ensure modern strength under classic lines.
- Luxury Cabin Redefined: Inside, the Cherokee is appointed with Moore & Giles floral-embossed leather, hand-stitched with Vigilante’s trademark craftsmanship. An updated dash and integrated stealth technology deliver modern convenience while retaining a period-correct feel.
- Show-Stopping Exterior: The body was stripped to bare metal before a full repaint in two-tone with a classic tribal stripe. Custom-machined Vigilante wheels, mirrors, handles, and grille, along with new glass, set this truck apart as a reimagined classic.
- Cherokee SJ Legacy: Launched in 1974 as Jeep’s two-door SUV built on the Wagoneer platform, the Cherokee SJ was among the first vehicles to combine rugged utility with everyday usability. Its distinctive design helped set the tone for the SUV market decades before it exploded.
- Vigilante Reputation: Known for six-figure Jeep builds, Vigilante 4x4 has become the reference point for full-size Jeep restomods. Their chassis, drivetrain, and design work elevate vintage Jeeps into high-performance, collectible machines.
