How to Maintain and Enhance Your Vigilante Jeep Over the Years
VIGILANTE Jeep Cherokee S 1975
Owning a VIGILANTE Jeep is more than owning a rare vehicle — it’s a commitment to a lifestyle, a legacy, and a timeless design. To ensure your VIGILANTE maintains its brilliance and performance through the years, here are some expert care tips tailored to this exceptional vehicle.
1. Routine Maintenance to Preserve Both Mechanics and Aesthetic
Although equipped with the most advanced technologies, a classic jeep restomod like the VIGILANTE is a mechanical work of art that deserves meticulous care. Each vehicle is delivered with a detailed manual that guides mechanics through its specific components and recommended practices.
Schedule annual check-ups: We recommend a yearly inspection at a certified MOPAR dealer or approved center to keep every component running smoothly and spot any early signs of wear.
Protect the bodywork: While the body is fully sandblasted and treated with anti-corrosion coatings, regular hand washing with quality products helps maintain its shine over time.
Mind the wheels and brakes: High-performance wheels and modern braking systems need regular non-abrasive cleaning with products made specifically for premium rims.
2. Extend the Life of the Premium Interior
VIGILANTE Jeep Grand Wagoneer interiors are crafted from premium, often custom-selected materials. Here’s how to care for them properly:
Clean leather and fabric surfaces: Full-grain leather and exclusive textiles should be treated with appropriate products. We recommend conditioning the leather at least twice a year.
Shield from climate changes: If possible, store your VIGILANTE Jeep in a garage to protect it from humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Upgrade modern tech: Audio and sound systems can benefit from software updates over time to remain cutting-edge.
3. Maintain Exceptional Performance
The VIGILANTE lineup features MOPAR HEMI engines with horsepower ranging from 485 to 815. To preserve these high-performance engines:
Monitor all fluid levels: Regularly check engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluids for optimal function.
Use premium fuel: These HEMI engines demand high-octane gasoline to reach their full potential.
Drive with balance: Alternate between spirited and moderate driving to best preserve the engine and drivetrain.
