Wild Boar Jeep ready for six-wheeling fun


If you were seeing double it would be an 8x8. This is real.
Because sometimes four wheeling just isn’t good enough, Wild Boar products has created the JK6 Wheeler custom Jeep.
The California-based accessory specialist has stretched the frame of the four-door Wrangler and added a second Dana live axle in the rear. The two are connected by a 2.5-foot collapsible driveshaft that allows for full articulation, and power from the stock 3.6-liter V6 can still be sent to the front wheels providing 6x6 drive.
Designed for long distance off-roading, the JK6 has a 65 gallon gas tank providing a range of over 1,000 miles and can be customized pretty much anyway you want it. The company is currently in talks with the Alaska State Police to build a few of them as wilderness patrol vehicles.
Prices start at $69,000 and the sky’s the limit from there. You can even get a roof top tent in case you need a nap.
A thousand miles is a long way to go between rest stops
