Vehicle Story
Jeep Wagoneer's are a big part of my memories from growing up. Grandpa owned 4 different Wagoneer's starting in the late 60's. I ended up with one in highschool and loved that Jeep. It got lifted and we upgraded everything including the engine and running gear. The Jeep was sold when our first daughter came along. 20 years later we have the opportunity to partner with some amazing people and brands.
We decided to bring back some of the brands from the first build and add a few more. We stayed with Mopar and transplanted a 392 Hemi. The transmission is a TREMEC TR4050 designed for offroad application. We are excited to be working with TREMEC and Silver Sport Transmission to showcase this transmission for the offroad communinty.
There were many new products from top tier manufacturers devoloped on this build and Resurgence Automotvie is bringing everything together as the main builder/fabrication/bodywork/paint.

- TREMEC TR 4050 - 5 speed manual transmission developed in partnership with Silver Sport Transmissions
