Toyota FJ Cruiser is, sadly, being retired soon. But not without launching an Ultimate Edition, which comes with a whole bevy of awesome TRD upgrades. A freshly re-tuned version of the TRD suspension has been added, as well as some TRD Bilstein race shocks, and some new race coil springs that raise the front of the FJ a bit, in order to improve the attack angle. In addition, there’s a new quarter-inch-thick aluminum skid plate in the front, new 16″ bead-lock wheels with BF Goodrich A/T KO tires, rock rails, and a roof rack.

Our Kapuso, Johannes Concordia, sent us this shot. Can you guess what German car is behind them?
Dodge adopted the “Scat Pack Club” moniker in 1968 to collectively refer to its performance models and encourage camaraderie among enthusiasts. This time, around, Mopar is using the name for performance packages available on the Challenger, Charger, and Dart.
Each package will be available in three stages, each offering additional performance enhancements for the 5.7-liter V-8s in the Challenger and Charger, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the Dart.
Modifications include “optimized” engine calibration and freer-flowing intake and exhaust systems. The V-8 cars get more serious hardware–including new camshafts and ported-and-polished cylinder heads–in the upper stages, while the Dart gets suspension and brake upgrades. All three Scat Pack cars also get unique graphics and custom interiors with Katzkin leather. The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and the Scat Packs will arrive at Dodge dealers in early 2014.
