FCA killed the idea of Hellcat Jeep Wrangler correct?

[Purerock105]

This pic is making the rounds but no real info if it's an aftermarket get-up or...?

Pretty (100%) sure FCA isnt riding around broadcasting it all over a vehicle if they really were doing it. Without question this is a modded Wrangler. FCA would never do that. It would be such a highly guarded secret that even their workers wouldnt know much.

Someone bought the sticker from eBay and put it on their Jeep would be my guess.

Not everything with a Hellcat badge is one -

A little more than a sticker from eBay.

I've read that the Hellcat engine will fit but there's ZERO room to work on the vehicle so any maintenance requires the engine to be removed from the vehicle which is a problem.

Tim K in an interview claims the motor is too big to meet crash tests due to the firewall.

A waste of a good engine, I think.

I own the Wranglers and their is no way you will truly use this power without killing yourself. And or otherwise if you'r trailing her doing rock climbs but even at that its debatable.

In the dunes, maybe?

Yes, I do have a small V8 in my Jeep, but it's mostly helpful in the dunes and on the road.
For the most part, about 30 hp is all it needs for the 'wheeling I do.

Funny, just today a dealer asked if I had a Hellcat motor in my Gecko green Jeep JKUR. I DO have red hellcat decals on the front fenders. He laughed. Me too. Decals are so much cheaper.

No, while there is an area with somewhat similar terrain west of Farmington, that's Truckhaven in CA. By Salton City.

Farmington has mostly rock, Truckhaven is a weird dirt that the rain shapes into neat "micro canyons" which I love to explore. Sometimes successfully, other times not so much.
Unfortunately, they have fenced off a lot there now, so it's nowhere near as much fun as it used to be.

That's what I was going to say. That thing is a deathtrap. Won't take too much throttle and the owner is going to test out the roll cage.

Got it. I’ve wheeled a place like that but it’s in northeast Colorado on private property. Weird stuff to wheel. Scrape the sides of the deep arroyos and the stuff breaks away and fills up the tub.

Anyway.........back to Hellcat motors in jeeps!
