2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited

High-velocity Jeeps were a relatively unknown phenomenon just a few years ago. Many thought that the term “Jeepspeed” was nothing short of an oxymoron. No matter. Mike Barnett, Tom Barnett, and the rest of the crew at T&J Performance Center simply lowered their heads and kept building Jeep after Jeep that worked at high speed as well as in low range. Many of these fast-and-slow Jeeps were XJ Cherokees built for competition in the Jeepspeed series.
When the four-door JK Wrangler appeared in 2007, Mike and Tom saw much more than a traditional backcountry explorer in the offing. “When the four-door JK came out, we knew we needed to get one for the shop,” Mike Barnett revealed. “The wheelbase lends itself to be perfect in both slow and faster applications. With four doors, there’s more utility and it’s more family-friendly. On top of that, it’s an ideal recon vehicle for our race team, and it makes a reliable prerunner.”
A once over of the T&J JK reveals a variety of mods that work well by themselves. When combined on the same vehicle, they take it “from a boy to a man,” as Mike said.
