The Body:
I purchased the jeep for $700 the body was OK for Alaska postal jeep standers. Ruff by any other means I installed two windows in the hard top. Put TJ rear fender flairs fabricated custom wheel wells for bigger tires. The rockers are protected by poison spider armor. The rear tail light are LED flush body lights. The body has a one inch Daystar Polyurethane lift. All the original rubber bushings have been replaced with polyurethane. The body is in pristine condition the outside is white, The interior is hurculinded black. I have a touch of blue in places for some definition. I have to say I think it looks real classy with a little twist.
Under the Hood:
The Engine was designed and blue printed by me and my friend Clint that owns Rocky Mountain Cylinder Heads. It’s the original 4.2 block that has been balanced and bored .40 over. The Cam is a Competition Extreme Cam. The head is a 4.0 out of a mid 90 jeep. It has had extensive machining the water jackets were drill out and free plugs added the spring seats enlarged to handle Z71 spring which were required with the cam the factory rockers were replaced with Yella-Terra Roller Rockers . It’s fuel by a mid 90factory MPI. The motor is cooled by a Be Cool Radiator. This includes the factory in tank fuel pump custom fitted into the original gas tank. The electric power is derived from a red top optima battery. I mounted a York AC pump for on board air. The hood is held up with a hot rode hood raise kit.
The originally AMC999 transmission was bad. I had a AMC727 built with a shift kit . To put the tranny in gear I have a B&M sport shifter. Behind that is 4:1 Klune-V then the original Dana 300 with custom brackets to allow the twin sticks to come out of the factory hole. All of this is held up by a custom belly skid plate allowing of optimal clearance

The rear is a Dana 44 out of a scout. Custom disk brakes, 4.88 gears, ARB, superior axle shafts,

Suspension
Rear is custom built. The leaf’s are Rubicon spring over springs. They are nestled into the frame allowing for no spring hang up. The rear axle perches are fabricated to allow no U-bolts under the axle. The lift is very clean. The untrained eye would not catch the fabrication it took to make this happen.
Front has been transformed into a coil spring 4 link set up. I used Rubicon long arms, custom made the frame buckets. If you didn’t know better you would think its factory
