FCA had teased some Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and RAM
models ahead of their SEMA debut, and know it’s time to see what mods they
bring to the table.
Chrysler couldn’t pass the opportunity to show off what it can
accomplish with its Mopar brand, that’s why the American conglomerate brought
three two Dodge models, two RAM vehicles, a Jeep, and a minivan.
The latter is a Chrysler Pacifica Cadence that uses no less than
100 accessory parts from Mopar’s bin. It was created with an active lifestyle
in mind, that’s why it sports Stow
‘n Go cargo bins, a Mopar/Thule paddleboard/surfboard carrier, and even a pet
kennel. On the outside, its custom Mopar graphics wrap the quarter panels and
rear-end, while the 20-inch wheels complete the overall look.
The RAM ProMaster Pit Stop and Macho Power Wagon were both created
to satisfy the need of adventure. While the latter is a throwback to the 1970s
popular Power Wagon trim, emphasizing off-road capabilities thanks to its
lifted suspension and bead lock wheels, the ProMaster Pit Stop is the Route-66,
mobile bar you’ve always dreamed of. It comes with refrigeration capacity to
serve cold beverages, as well as cue ball and pistol grip shifters to help dish
out drinks.
Jeep’s contribution to the show is a Wrangler TJ frame with a 1966
Jeep Wrangler CJ universal Tuxedo Park body on it and a few Wrangler JK
elements. It uses a six-speed manual transmission and comes equipped with a
Mopar cold-air intake, a Mopar cat-back exhaust, and front and rear Mopar Dana
44 Crate axles – making it the perfect rock crawler.
Next, the Dodge Shakedown Challenger and the
Durango Shaker, two vehicles with nothing but power in mind. The three-row SUV
comes with a custom-fabricated, functional Shaker Hood that feeds a 6.4-liter
HEMI engine. It’s also equipped with a functional Mopar cold-air intake,
dropped 3 inches and riding on Satin Black 22-inch wheels.
The Challenger is actually a classic 1971 brought up to date by
Mopar’s goodies. It features a 485 hp HEMI V8 under the hood, mated to a Viper
Tremec T6060 six-speed transmission, as well as a custom exhausts, and a Brembo
braking kit - among many other mods.
