Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers 37 Inch Interco Tires
Sticky 37x12.50R17LT Interco TrXus tires reside on the Wrangler Unlimited's beadlock wheels. These tires were phenomenal in Moab on the rock, never chirping as they stuck like glue. They also worked well in the sand and dirt.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers 37 Inch Nitto Tires
The 17x8 Mopar-Hutchinson beadlocks and 37x13.50R17LT E Nitto Mud Grapplers look mean on the Wrangler. Although quite heavy, the Mopar-Hutchinson beadlocks are an extremely high-quality wheel that locks both the inner and outer beads. We've used the Mud Grapplers on a number of projects and really like the way they work in all conditions.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers Front Seats
Dan decided the interior needed some dressing up, so he had the Wrangler Unlimited's seats upholstered in charcoal leather in an SRT8 theme.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers Cb Antenna Mount
Burnsville installed the very nice UltraMount CB antenna kit from Cool Tech on the Wrangler Unlimited. It mounts inside the license-plate bracket, grounding to the body and using an existing hole in the body to route the antenna cable. Our SWR was no more than 1.5 on all channels, 1 through 40.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers Rear Seat
The Wrangler Unlimited's rear headrests are gigantic and can't be removed. We deleted them when they reupholstered the seats. Now we can recline the front seats all the way back even when the rear seat is folded forward, as the headrests that fold up against the seatbacks are no longer there.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers 2 Door Seats
The Wrangler's seats are also upholstered in leather, although Dan chose a two-tone design to match the silver Jeep. He also applied flames to both Jeeps to make them stand out.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers Light Switch
With CANbus, the only lights that will work with the factory foglight switch are the factory lights. To control the Unlimited's Soltek Fuego lights, Burnsville used a PIAA harness and switch.

Hemi V8 Jk Wranglers Badges
As an extra touch, Dan had 6.1 Hemi badges made that complement the SRT8 badges and let people know what's under the hood.
