After the presentation of the other three Chrysler Group vehicle customized by Mopar for its 75th anniversary, we bring you the first real life photos of the brand's fourth creation, named the Jeep Compass �True North�. Beginning with the exterior, the Compass has been customized with a matte black finish on the roof, wheel flares, lower fascia, door cladding and black grille, while it also features tinted lights, front and rear brush bars and custom rock rails.
Set to arrive in dealerships in August, the Mopar '10 Challenger is a special edition version of the muscle-coupe that will be built in a limited number of 500 examples. Based off a Challenger R/T with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, the Mopar '10 edition gets numerous performance and styling parts straight out of Mopar's shelves.
The special edition Challenger will be available exclusively in Brilliant Black and a choice of three accent colors (Mopar Blue, Red or Silver) that appear on side stripes as well as in the stitching on the steering wheel and seats.
As well as announcing the U.S. market launch of the JK-8 kit that carries a $5,499 sticker, Chrysler�s Mopar division also released a new time-lapse video that shows us a team of workers turning a four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup truck with a small bed at the back. According to Mopar Performance Team engineer, Steve Houtman, it took the four-man crew (or at least that�s our count of the number of people seen working on the Jeep) about an hour to complete the transformation using the JK-8 kit. Watch them in action for yourself in the clip after the break.
Those of you that fancy turning your four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a two-door pickup truck will be happy to know that the firm�s much-talked about JK-8 Kit is available for order now through Mopar at Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram dealerships, with pricing set at $5,499. However, Jeep does note that the JK-8 kit, which comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty, is for �skilled do-it-yourselfers�. For the less handy amongst us, the company said that the kit may be purchased and installed at a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram dealership.
