This isn’t your average Jeep® Wrangler (TJ). Currently listed on BringATrailer.com, this 2006 Jeep Wrangler X has undergone an insane transformation, swapping out its original powertrain for an 8.3-liter (505 cubic-inch) VIPER V10. Yes, you read that right—this lifted off-roader now boasts the heart of a Dodge Viper, making it one of the wildest TJ builds we’ve seen hit the auction block.
A Viper’s Heart in a Jeep’s Body –
Under the hood sits the legendary VIPER V10, a naturally aspirated powerhouse originally found in Dodge’s supercar lineup. This 505-horsepower brute is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a modified dual-range transfer case, sending power to all four wheels through Dana 60 axles and chromoly driveshafts. The underbody components have even been powder-coated red, making this Jeep’s mechanical upgrades as visually striking as they are functional.
Off-Road Ready with a Custom Touch –
Riding on a long-arm suspension lift with Dirt Logic front coilovers and Pro Comp rear shocks, this Wrangler X is built to handle serious terrain. The 17-inch American Racing wheels are wrapped in massive 35-inch × 12.5-inch BFGoodrich Baja T/A tires, ensuring it stays planted on any trail. Stopping power is upgraded, too, with four-wheel disc brakes providing extra confidence when slowing this beast down.
The exterior has been repainted in a clean white finish, complemented by a body-color hardtop, AMP Research retractable running boards, aftermarket steel bumpers, and Viper Edition decals. Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with reupholstered black and red leather bucket seats, a matching center console, and custom door panels. A Clarion touchscreen stereo and Boston Acoustics subwoofers bring a modern audio experience to this extreme build.
The Details That Matter –
A closer look at the gauges reveals a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and supplementary readouts for oil pressure, oil temperature, and water temperature. The odometer shows just 2,200 miles, representing mileage added after the modifications, though the Carfax report lists “Not Actual Mileage Title Issued” entries dating back to May 2023.
With the auction ending on Tuesday, February 25 at 3:49 p.m. EDT, this Viper-powered Jeep Wrangler TJ won’t be available for long. Whether you’re looking for a head-turning off-road rig or a conversation-starting collector’s piece, this Jeep brings supercar power to the trail in a way few vehicles ever could.
