AWESOM-O VIDEO! Techno Song Made With Sounds from Jeep Cherokee

Trust us when we say that, even if you're not a fan of techno music, this is one video clip that you'll want to watch / hear again and again. Created by filmmaker - musician Julian Smith, the video shows a crew of people using the doors, engine, switches, locks and numerous other parts of an old Jeep Cherokee to make a music clip called "Techno Jeep".

Julian said that the "automotive band" began rehearsing their parts 2 weeks before the video was shot, while it took the group "7 hours of filming to get a solid take." Enjoy the video after the break. Kudos to Sebastian R. for the tip!

Deconstructicon: Artist Transforms 1983 Jeep Grand Cherokee into a Metal Ball [with Video]

Let's say you work for the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh and someone donates a 1983 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. What do you do with it? Well, for whatever reasons, using the vehicle, which makes the most sense, was not among the options being considered by the museum folks. To make a long story short, they chose to call in artist Keny Marshall to create a modern sculpture out of the Jeep.

The artist and his team decided to disassemble the Grand Wagoneer and use all of the parts from the vehicle to craft a nine-foot tall metal that now adorns the outdoor area of the museum.

VIDEO: Jeep Wrangler with Twin-Turbocharged Viper SRT10 V10 Engine!

To say that 'das' creation is insane, is clearly an understatement. Having already fitted a Dodge Viper V10 engine under the hood of a 1991 Jeep Wrangler, the German owner of this custom build decided to proceed to 'Stage II' by turbocharging the massive V10! As you can see in the first video after the jump, the dyno showed that the beastly Wrangler 'SRT10' produces 714HP at the wheels along with a staggering 1,053Nm or 745-lbs/ft of torque. There's also a second video available showing the pre-turbocharged Wrangler SR10 running the quarter mile in 12.93 seconds.
