We shot photos of Lilith on the north banks of the Missouri River in Parkville, MO were
the river itself is the state line that divides the states of Missouri and Kansas
Jeep Wranglers have been on the road since 1986. They are the descendent of the WWII
jeep made by Willy’s Kaiser-Jeep and American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the mid-
1940’s through the 1980’s when AMC was purchased by Chrysler in 1987.
Shannon is the proud owner of Lilith, a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4 that she purchased
from Olathe Dodge in May of 2022. She features a 285 HP 3.6 liter V6 engine with
an 8 speed automatic transmission a suspension that has a 3 inch lift. She has Fuel brand
rims and 35” Cosmo brand Mud Kicker tires. Her factory paint color is “GOBI” as in the
color of the GOBI desert which stretches across the borders of Mongolia and China in
central Asia.
Shannon and her husband Martin have spent some time off roading in the Jeep. They took
her to Kansas Rocks (off road) Recreation Park in Mapleton, KS . They had to deflate the
tires a bit to run through various levels of basic, intermediate and extreme trails along with a
group of other vehicles and thrill seekers. They even did a small drop off from a rock. Lilith’s
doors and roof come off to create a unique open air , uninhibited experience. In fact her all
weather capabilities were put to the test once when it was rained on overnight when the roof
was off.
The Lilith jeep got her name from the video game character “Lilith” in the Diablo IV
game series . The avatar was both the inspiration for the jeep name and for the red accents
on the jeep. Lilith is primarily used as a companion utility vehicle to “Sinner” a 2009 Dodge
Challenger that was a featured on the cover of EMPSC Issue 17. The Wrangler is used to
transport items and props that are used when the Challenger is being displayed at car shows.
However lilith does participate each fall in annual Trunk or Treat events.
Shannon says that some mods that have been done to the jeep are halos with red accents, a
custom sound system, skulls with red eyes on the front bumper and a toy duck collection on
the dashboard. Future mods may include raising the lift on the jeep up to 6 inches as well as
more lights.
