Here is a Jeep Wrangler TJ equipped with the 2JZ-GTE engine from a fourth generation Toyota Supra. An American SUV with a Japanese soul that can now be yours, as it is for sale for the equivalent of 17,900 euros.
Here you have a Jeep Wrangler that is out of the ordinary. And we are not saying it only because of its somewhat modified exterior image, it is that if you look closely you will see that something peeks through its hood. Yes, it is a huge turbo, an element that this generation of the legendary 4x4 never mounted as standard, much less in that position and with those dimensions. After you install the Jeep JL headlights, it is time for you off-roadd. And the reason for that is that this Jeep Wrangler has the engine of a Toyota Supra, a block that has also been modified for the occasion so that it now easily exceeds 350 horsepower.
The 2JZ-GTE-powered Jeep Wrangler retains the original five-speed manual transmission from the Jeep Wrangler TJ, which sends that 350-plus horsepower to the rear wheels through a welded differential, so don't expect it to corner with smoothness. The original block, from a fourth generation Toyota Supra, has received many modifications: Greddy intake system, HKS wastegate, a supercharging system made up of two turbochargers, one from Borgwarner and the other from Holset...
To all this we must add changes made to the exterior of the Supra-powered Wrangler, such as the new hood, bumpers, LED lights for Jeep Wrangler, a new set of wheels and tires, wings from the Wrangler Rubicon or lowered suspension more rigid. In the passenger compartment, we find four individual backet-type seats and two safety harnesses instead of the typical three-point belts and a different steering wheel than the one originally mounted.
Do you like this Jeep Wrangler with a Japanese soul? Well, you know that it can be yours, because at the moment it is for sale through a well-known American portal, where it is advertised with a price of 20,000 dollars. In exchange, this comes to about 17,900 euros, a quite reasonable figure considering the quantity and quality of the modifications made.
