The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI® from Mopar
The Jeep Wrangler Ultimate with 392 HEMI from Mopar is a concept vehicle that answers the question “how far can you go with the new Jeep Wrangler?” Beginning with the all-new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon®, the design team set out to create the best of the best – combining high style and materials with the best off-road machine ever offered by Jeep.
The suspension is enhanced with a 3-in. lift to clear the massive 35-in. BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tyres mounted on custom polished Alcoa Forged 18-inch wheels. The exterior is chromed out courtesy of Mopar:
fuel filler door
taillamp guards
tubular side steps
exterior mirrors
tow hooks
door handles
hood hinges
fascia overlays
To complete the look, the exterior is coated in a wildly experimental ‘Liquid Charcoal Pearl Coat’ paint. The Wrangler Ultimate’s real story is its interior. Taking cues from rugged adventure sports bags and accessories, the team created a high style and detailed interior compartment that is as tough and beautiful as the exterior. Seating surfaces are clad in durable orange mesh fabric and dark slate grey Nappa/Province leather – bound with a heavy black-leather baseball stitch. Instrument panel details are treated to a stunning Argent Pearl/Satin Silver paint combination, reinforcing the machine character for which Jeep is known. The interior is also home to the exclusive MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System. There are also DVD screens for passengers in the front and rear. To provide authentic performance on the trail, the team also dropped in a 392 HEMI crate motor.

New General Grabber will compete in Baja Racing Desert Off-Road Races

Continental Tire North America Inc. is putting its new General Grabber competition tires to the test. In 2008, the tires will compete in major off-road events. The Grabber competition tires are designed in size 37x12.50R17 for Class 1, 7S, 7 unlimited, 8 and trophy truck.

"These tires simply grab the dirt and won't let go," says Travis Roffler, director of marketing. "We will continue to refine and develop the Grabber until its official launch at the 2008 Baja 500, but we are confident that these tires will make the off-road racing community sit up and take notice." The tires will compete in desert off road racing events in 2008. Tire engineers designed the Grabber with a tough, three-ply, Duragen-reinforced body construction to stand up to the rigors of off-road conditions. The tires also feature a newly-developed, competition-specific tread compound. The new racing tires will be available in two distinct tread designs for different types of competitive conditions. In addition, the Grabber name and General Tire logo are prominently featured on the sidewall in red and white letters.


Yes the review is old but it's showing a possible new tire by general :thumbs:

Interesting.

Certainly the best engine they have installed since they lost the bulletproof 4.0 in 07, but for serious off roading that heavy ass hemi under hood might be a deal killer.

Jeeps aren't for off-roading, Jim.

I always forget that. It screws up the DVD system right?

Need I say more?

Also, it looks like this is not a new development. I have found reference to this being a vehicle released at SEMA '07.
