Written By Daniel van Doveren

In the rarefied world of classic luxury SUV restoration, few names resonate with the same level of prestige as Vigilante. Every vehicle we create is more than a restoration—it’s a handcrafted masterpiece, meticulously engineered to deliver timeless elegance and modern performance.

Premium Materials, No Compromises

At Vigilante 4x4, we begin with the finest components. Original Jeep bodies are media-blasted and corrosion-protected for enhanced durability. The interiors are wrapped in full-grain leather, featuring bespoke metallic finishes that blend vintage appeal with contemporary luxury. Even modern tech like touchscreen displays and premium audio systems are seamlessly integrated without disturbing the vehicle’s retro soul.

Cutting-Edge Innovation Beneath a Vintage Soul

Every Vigilante Jeep is a fusion of heritage and high performance. We replace outdated leaf-spring setups with advanced off-road suspension systems, significantly improving handling without sacrificing Jeep's legendary ruggedness. Under the hood, you'll find MOPAR HEMI engines ranging from 485 to 815 horsepower—delivering raw power with the reliability of the MOPAR service network.

With modern braking systems and precision steering, our restorations ensure a safe, smooth ride—on highways or mountain trails.

Bespoke Craftsmanship at Every Step

Each restomod Jeep Wagoneer or Cherokee Chief is the result of thousands of hours of artisan labor. We start with a meticulous reverse engineering process, crafting discontinued parts to match OEM specs while allowing modern upgrades. From the dashboard to the smallest trim detail, every component is hand-fitted with exacting precision.

Before delivery, your vehicle is tested for 800 - 1,000 miles under real-world conditions—ensuring your classic Jeep performs as beautifully as it looks.
