The 2020 Jeep Gladiator has hardly been on sale long, and already companies are racing to drop in big V8s, especially since Jeep won't do it. America's Most Wanted 4x4 had one of the first converted Gladiators, and it featured a 707-horsepower Hellcat engine. Now Hennessey is upping the game with the Maximus 1,000, a Gladiator with a hopped-up 1,000-horsepower Hellcat engine.
The Hennessey Maximus 1,000 takes the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8, adds an upgraded fuel system, custom...
This 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee up for auction on Bring a Trailer had already piqued my interest before even reading the listing's headline. It had the Bright Platinum paint and special mesh grille that were tell-tale signs of the 5.9 "litre" V8. It packed 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet of torque, which is admittedly not that much by today's standards and actually not that much more than the regular 5.2-liter V8, but at the time, IT WAS THE 5.9! You were so much cooler because of that. Not...
The Jeep Gladiator's been on sale for months, so we're still at the top of the first inning when it comes to accessories for what should become the market's most heavily accessorized lifestyle pickup.

Angles and polygons fare heavy in the theme, beginning with the Venator front bumper housing an Overrider Trekker S12.5 Winch, and an Amfib snorkel system that...
These days, it’s easy to find a Chevrolet LS engine swapped into anything: Mazda Miatas, Jeep Wranglers, and even Yugos. That’s because of the motor’s ubiquity and easy accessibility. So, how about an LS-swapped 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer? One cherry and nicely doctored example surfaced on Bring a Trailer recently.
The original Jeep Grand Wagoneer’s V8 was known to be rather anemic from primitive fuel delivery and emissions equipment. So, the current owner and seller x98boardwell decided to...
The state of Oregon once again has delivered a well-preserved truck or SUV. This 1993 Jeep Cherokee two-door with a five-speed manual transmission is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer. The exterior has been repainted, so it's not the time capsule museum piece it might initially seem to be, but dang it if it's not incredibly fresh. Those steel wheels, the new Goodyear tires, the new white paint, and refreshed black trim look terrific. Back in the day, this would've been a sparsely...
