High and Mighty Custom Jeep Grand Cherokee

Think about the most challenging terrains on the planet: Rubicon, Dakar, the deserts of Baja, Australia's Outback. Places that pit man and machine against some of the most hostile environments you can imagine. What vehicle would you want for this sort of off-road adventure?

Boost Meets Boulder
Everybody has their favorite 4x4, but here's a strong contender for the short list: the Jeep Grand Cherokee "High and Mighty." This customized and supercharged SUV casts an intimidating shadow, whether crawling over boulders in a dry stream bed or winching up a slick rock face. Outfitted with the kind of equipment to take on all sorts of demanding conditions, the High and Mighty is a no-nonsense vehicle that stands ready to conquer a rugged, unforgiving landscape.


Created by Performance West Group, the High and Mighty rig is as capable of crossing the Australian Outback as a passenger vehicle can cross the street. This Jeep visually conveys a take-no-prisoners attitude from its ARB bull-bar bumper to the steep departure angle of the back end.


In designing the High and Mighty, Performance West merged the robust capabilities traditionally associated with off-road racing vehicles with the benefits of a nicely finished 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee. These attributes are cloaked with an aggressively styled exterior that will never be mistaken for anything other than what it is: a Rubicon-ready Jeep Grand Cherokee on massive doses of steroids and adrenaline.

Above and Beyond
For that high-energy jolt, Kenne Bell created a high-performance package, especially for the Jeep High Output 4.7-liter V-8. At the heart of the system is a 2.2-liter Blowzilla supercharger, enhanced by an Optimizer II engine-management computer, a free-flowing Air Force Intake Induction System, and a Boost-a-Pump to insure an ample supply of fuel at all times. The result is a whopping 50 percent increase in horsepower and torque throughout the rpm range. Even at slower, rock-crawling speeds, this stump puller pumps out gobs of grunt needed to climb the steepest grade. And when you want some high-revvin' action, it can slog through knee-deep mud or even the blow away sport compacts on the street.
