I have had this Jeep for 10 years now. It was my daily driver for about 6 or 7 and was off the road for about 3 or 4 and is now a project vehicle.
This pick was back in like 98 or 99.
i took it off the road because i had a kid and didn't want to put an infant in an 86 CJ but of course i couldn't sell it. So it sat for about 3 years or so - started it here and there - then decided to just fire it up and drive it.
It lasted about a month before the 5th piston welded itself to the cylander wall. So i pulled it and had it rebuilt.

The rebuilt motor runs great. I have some plans to get an HEI distributer and Truck Avenger Carburetor to finish off the motor nice.
The transfer case is currently frozen. I haven't shifted it in years and right now it wont budge. i also think i'm having some problems w/ the front hubs. So 1st and foremost, is to get these issues taken care of.
Future Plans Include:
Poison Spider full rollcage
Poison Spider front Flat fenders
Poison Spider front and rear Stingers
33" Mud Terrains
5 Point Harnesses up front
Beard Kid Size Racing Seats in the back w/ harness
redo the body
- line interior of the tub w/ bed liner
- restore body back to original look w/ original graphics
- restore original white rims and add baby blue beadlocks
And when all this is said and done I'd like redo the suspension w/ an 8" coilover conversion in the front and a spring over axel in the back.
These things are obviously going to take some time. Especially since my Grand needs a suspension first.
