- Vigilante 4x4 is another company taking old vehicles, retaining all of the classic design elements yet customizing and standardizing to produce multiple vehicles per year. I love how they give you the option for engine choices...392 Hemi, Hellcat or Hellephant! This thing sounds and drives like a modern vehicle yet looks like a stock Jeep with a bigger wheel/tire set up and they've nailed it so sit back and enjoy the ride...

This is where it’s at. Their respect for the the brand and it’s legacy deserves a ton of respect for sure. Quality work here and it shows and you pay for it.
I might go so far to say this might be one of my favorite builds on the channel. Truly the best of old and new. Absolutely nailed it. Would love to see their take on the Blazer and Bronco.
K-5
Surprisingly I think I agree.
I love it too. its nice to see something thats not an LS. Im sick of seeing anything cool, but its another LS. I love the idea of keeping heritage with an engine from the same company/family. its what makes cars more than just a body on a frame.
@@nathaniel1207 exactly that our philosophy
Agreed!!!
Jonathan Ward is drooling over this
This has to be the nicest Wagoneer in the US.
Holy $hit!
Gives new meaning to the word "Sleeper"!
It’s such a perfect Jeep
@@AutotopiaLA Phenomenal! Don't see anything about it that isn't damn near perfect. It's really great that a lot of these aren't gonna be going to the crusher now. WOW!
WOW ... Beautiful work . Thanks 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ my
😊😊😊
Good video! The Vigilante fellow is really proud of what he's designing......and, he should be!
Now *this* is how you restomod! Spot on
Nailed it on every point
Bro this guy built that right.
I admire the patience, composure and strength of this man in relation to the repair of the car as well.
Thanks 😉
Man thats one beautiful Old school FSJ Jeep Cherokee man and that 392 Hemi V8 sure is a beast.
I LOVE THIS TRUCK, I WANT ONE!!!
Me too!
That’s heaven
The wing vent windows add a great deal of nostalgia that should be mentioned.
That has got to be one of the sweetest Jeep Cherokee’s I’ve ever seen. Prop’s to the builder!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had an 82 Cherokee Chief with a stroked 360 bored .30 with ported and polished 401 heads with oversized valves, Headman headers, Dual Plane Edelbrock Intake with a 750 Holly, Quadtrac, with 4.10 gears, and 33x15 Dick Cepek Fun Country.
I love this build, thanks for sharing.
It's such an awesome build. He seems to be a builder with integrity who's staying true to himself. They are such an inspiration.
Thank you
Could you imagine the Prefix Viper engine with the Cherokee wide-track version on that orange-red with black trim...OMG!
We not imagine we work on a project with the prefix, soon more info
The wheels.... bro the wheels!!!!! Oh gawddawum I want a set now!!!!! I got a "Dajiban" that those are gonna get! *looking for all the pennies*
PS - Totally amazing build! Very thoughful in seemingly all aspects.
Another video where you knock it out of the park! What Vigilante does with Jeeps embodies the spirit and essence of what I want to do with my General Lee as a restomod! Retain as much originality and look of the original design but with modern functionality!
That a hard job, because is easy to use commercial component instead keep the original one
@@vigilante4x4 agreed! But totally worth it! Your work is evidence of that!
Now I want one. Darn it, Shawn!
Now that’s cool ! I love how he had such attention to detail into the build.
Very nice. Perfect build. Not ridiculously modified. Originality kept intact. Perfect off-road vehicle for everyone. ❤🤑🤑👍
Yes, great that you see theses details, our door hand no come from "summit" 😂
My dream Jeep
This is so perfect. Moves above icon on my lotto dream buys 😅
I'm in awe...dreams do come true! Little pricey, but, Wow. I think about this often and to see someone implement and come up with a solution to modernizing the old without destroying the spirit of the Jeep is amazing!
I had a 1963 I used as a hunting wagon. Best vehicle I ever had.
As a Brussels born kid, American now, I congratulate you for the engineering you do
Keep the V8s and Viper V10 going
Vigilante nailed it, hands down.
Very very nice Jeep! The impeccable eye for detail makes this probably one of the best examples around.
Nothing but respect for what your doing. Love that your going new age heart with a modern body. Very nice to you both.
When I was a kid my neighbour had an original Jeep Wagoneer which they used as their 'go to the lake' vehicle every weekend. They had to offroad the last hour or so through forestry roads and sometimes no roads to get to the lake. That old Jeep ha dings and scratches all down the side of it. But it always got them to the lake and back every weekend. I had the opportunioty to go with them numerous times and it was a blast every time. The Vigilante is an incredible rendition of really great vehicle, just improved where the original needed it. Be safe and stay well.
This guy is the real deal, intense passion in his art!!!
Beautiful job 👍 I had a 1979 Cherokee 4 door in the late 80’s here in the uk , a rare RHD conversion. She handled like a boat with at least 4 inches of play in the steering , driving on a motorway in the uk at 80mph was a frightening experience 😂 , but she was a real babe , I loved that car , I’d buy one from you guys today if I had the cash 👍
Absolutely love seeing people working on stuff like this!
That was amazing. Great focus driven material, and honest/real fucking builders.
Hoedje af voor Daniël- perfecte aanpak voor die prachtige Cherokees.
I think this body style Jeep is the best looking one.
Well now if I win the lottery I know what family car I want 😅. Love how obsessive this guy is with his product. I can tell he loves what he does.
Truly obsessed with making the best Jeeps possible
Very clever that ..great company by the sounds of it ..modern day old school …keep safe guys
Excellent craftsmanship.
I've seen the wagoner and pickup down in dripping springs tx. Both are awesome
They’re doing it right
Damn, that was awesome. Very very cool.
I'm down with the other comments on you providing a great group of vehicles as of late. Appreciate you Homie....
Amazing job on that Jeep, brave Vigilante
Absolutely perfect. Wagoneer, 👍
Gorgeous vehicle. One of the best on here so far
I really love your channel, I am going through all the videos, only will be sad when I watch them all, will have to watch them twice!
Thanks a lot! Lots of videos for you here. You’re gonna crack up when you get to the earlier ones lol! Glad you like what we do here
The best showcase build yet. Thanks for sharing.
Loving these kind of builds so much lately. Please do more!!
I love this!! Vigilante has my vote for the most wanted type of builder. I want one…but will have to save up funds in my toy account!! I wish these guys the very best in their future. We need more builders with the priorities that were put into this build. Straight out AWESOME Jeep!
just wow
Great variety of vehicles lately Sean - keep it up. That's a cool Jeep Cherokee
Well done vigilante, well thought out. I'd love to have one some day!
I would too! So well done
@@AutotopiaLAHey bro side note. Ed Pink is doing his last engine. Are you going to interview him. It would be cool if Strope was involved in it. It's going to be a cammer!
Love at 1st sight!!!
My best bud in high school had his dad's old 1976 Jeep P/U when I had my 77 Chevy Step-side.....both were black, and this just reminds me of his Jeep. This is such an awesome build, master class, well done!
It’s funny. Vigilante makes some videos but nothing this in-depth. Very cool 😎
Much love and support from Boston ❤ 🙏🏻
Beautiful
Dammit Man!!!
Perfection!!!
I love old cars with new tech, great job.
Beautifully built truck, kudo's to the builder...🖤😎
They’re doing it right
Extra power for this beautiful classic!👏👏👏💙
Truly epic! love classic Cherokees. Thanks for sharing!
$300,000+ ??? A beautiful Jeep and with a Hemi. Well, my hat off to you, it’s stunning. But I drive a Jeep Hemi and it cost me £7k only. I love it and drive it everywhere through rain, mud and grit flying over it… but not that price for me personally. I hope you stay in business, the Jeep is superb.

Incredible care into these dream builds
Hammer Jeep❤
Very nice build! Keep featuring all kinds of rides!
Great builds! These Jeeps are another level!
thanks
Great job mixing it up. Great job guys.
Thx, i had a 76 in that Paint Job in the 80's, loved it. Good memories and what a brilliant resto and improvement. Yeah, the AC was actually a dealer installed option and it was barely AC even in Canada.. I got one from a wrecked and installed in mine. I also changed the seats out for a Caddy's seats from the wreckers yard.. LOL
Perfect for Arnold
Bro that's a master piece.....💪
I love the window crank handles that control the power windows. I envision some idiot that thinks it's still manual. They go to roll the window down and break the handle...lol.
Beautiful Jeep and I'm from San Antonio, so very close to home. If I ever win the lottery I'll pay you a visit.😊
Really great vehicles !! I need one in my life, just perfect! Thank you guys.
So damn cool. Will be doing business with them soon!!
STAY FROSTY
DTIAFG!!!
Awesome shawn. .... Looks so cool 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤩🤩
I be waiting tue Friday for the vids 5pm
What a beauty. I love it!!❤
Great vehicle. Those wheels are awesome and a great touch.
Such a cool concept to keep the look but different dimensions
I dig it. Very nostalgic. Great build.
It takes me five minutes to get to the Hill country. I live on the far NW west side of San Antonio. Texas hill country is my favorite place to cruise. Highway 16 is incredible.
300k for this and I can appreciate it more than a lambo
I was trying to remember weren't these Jeeps originally still under the AMC badge.
I like it .tim in new mexico
Best used car salesman ever!!! 💪😎
Most go with the LS if they do swaps! Going with a Hemispherical… I like it 😎 little different 👍🏻
This build quality is up there with what MST is doing in the UK with Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts. Absolutely stunning!
I say its beyond MST...which by the way I want one!!!!!!!. that remains a very decent price too
Wish I could afford this, would prefer this to a modern piece of molded plastic.
i totally dig it, daaamn good job and inspiration
This is a very good-looking rig.
Boom!
I have to say they’ve inspired me. I’ve had these ideas in my head for years with classic Dodges. I’ve had a magnum 360/nv4500/Dana300 in my 79 Ramcharger since 2008. A Hemi/TR-6060 or T-56 and an Atlas is brilliant. No idea why I hadn’t thought of it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome!
Very nice Jeep.
That is one awsome jeep
Nice jeep 👍👍
It better be for $300,000
Would like to see this guy hookup with Dennis Collins and maybe even do a Coffee walk.
Love it !!! My Grandpa bought one new in 1977 (Cherokee Chief) that was burgundy ; love those models ! I own a 1990 Cherokee at the moment that i like very much.
Lots more like this, please, Shaun! No silly big wheels on rubber band tyres here and no scraping it's arse along the tarmac either!! Love his sinister laugh at 27:15 mins - he sounds just like Scorpio in Dirty Harry!!
