Fun fact : when they were designing the Prowler they made a mule to test the front suspension using the ass end of a Wrangler. They called it the "Prangler". And it only looked slightly stupider than this does.

Would you be willing to change your mind if the horn played La cucaracha?

You know, if the wheels weren't disgustingly pushed out, I'd like this better than a stock Jeep.
Its atleast more honest

Okau.....I don't HATE it. It's different and kinda cool in a go kart way, if it's genuinely fast then it's really cool.

Fast? A Jeep?

To give credit where due, the track hack is a monster, dodge has good old engine designs, but they build the car around the engine, not make the car and partner an engine to it. I feel like swapping the drivetrain out of an f150 4x4 to a jeep would be more than a monster, gut the jeep as much as possible and you have a desthtrap

To me a heep has to have at least a touch of r/iamverybadass, but that’s just my opinion. I think it qualifies if for no other reason than where else would you put it?
I don’t cringe at these, they look so dumb I get a laugh out of them. They really should be modern clown cars. If the doors flew open and 20 clowns popped out, it would just feel right.

Hey, I know.... Let's take all the things that that make it a Jeep, and fucking render them useless!!!

u/Charming-Status9045 15d ago
Because jeeps are already highly inefficient and ride like butt on the road. Minus well do what you want to it. Least there’s some difference in this “build” vs the angry eyes and off-road tires on your grocery getter.

u/Swing_on_thiss 14d ago
Except for the speed bumps in the grocery store parking lot!
Useless vehicle but I guess to each their own!
I'd take it but my first question is do you still have the tires and rims that were on it before the go kart tires were installed.

The same kind of person who drives a lifted Miata

u/ThetaReactor 15d ago
Nah, I would totally drive a lifted Miata but this thing is stupid. I don't even mind lowered Jeep-rods, but this is just half-assed foolery.

Well, this is better than the guy who has a 4+ inch lift and huge tires but it lever leaves the pavement. At least with this guy he’s not even pretending he’s an off roader.

I’ve never seen a lowered jeep that looked even halfway decent. It just doesn’t work.

The Angry face Jeep lovers and the Angry face Jeep haters need to set aside their differences to take this threat down.

Wrangler owners have been "slamming" their vehicles for decades. Nothing new here.

Naw. I’ve wanted to do this with my 65 but just drop it on a Miata frame. Wheel base is almost the same. Props to them for going for it. It’s the mall crawler everyone’s been asking for. Take a car that isn’t supposed to be lifted and it’s cool, take a car that isn’t supposed to be slammed and it’s cool. Making shit way too high or way too low is pointless. This is cool.

So less reliable than a Ford, uglier than an Edsel, less practical than a stanced Civic, yeah it’s fucking bad.

kinda looks like a modernized rat-rod....or one of those teeny cars I had as a kid where u stick a penny in the back, pull it and it zips away

u/motofabio 15d ago
It’s not for me, but there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s absolutely not a Heep. It’s called having fun with your car. Lowering it, okay. There are also Smart cars and Mini Coopers that are lifted with huge tires.

I wonder if the off road only lights were on the jeep before the lowering butchery. Or are they for that hard to see street sign or just for blinding the fellow passersby, or being the asshole blinding from behind!

u/theHEYWEATHERS 14d ago
100% a Texas thing. Hell the Wrangler itself is a Texas thing.
It's crazy how many people here want a hunk of crap and 95% of the people that own them even know how to change their own oil.

I actually thought about doing this and making an autocross wrangler with super fat, sticky tires, and an extreme weight loss diet. I own a lifted wrangler and I think one that is lowered and stiffened would actually be pretty "fun" and handle "decently.'" I'm not sure I would follow through with this idea though unless I found one that was really cheap.

Makes more sense then douchy jeep owners with 35s who never leave the pavement!
