This Jeep was a basket case when I got it but I saw the potential that it had. After 5 1/2 years of work this is what it turned into.The transmission is a T90A 3-speed with a column shifter.The transfer case is a T19. All of the running gear is original. It has a locked dana 44 rear and an open dana 27 front with 5.38 gears. With a combination of a 2 1/2" body lift and a 3" suspension lift the 33X12.50 BFG all-terrains look kinda small. Underneath is just as clean as everything else with a lot of new parts, paint, and undercoating. The interior is lined with duplicolor bedliner and fresh paint. The seats are from Summit Racing and my grandson's car seat fits perfectly. Inside it has AM/FM/CD, 500 watt Jensen amp, 10" subs in the back and Pioneer TSX 6920s under the dash, 40 channel Uniden cb that's been tweaked, 300 watt ceramic auxillary heater, polished diamond plate dash and pedals, full 6 point roll cage, wipers upgraded to 2 speed electric, locking security console from Quadratec, and a large storage trunk in back full of recovery gear, tools, and first aide equipment. I've got tractor lights mounted underneath for night time trail riding.
I built the cowl scoop myself from sheet metal and fiber glass because I could'nt find one that I liked. It is cut out and fully functional.
The headlights are H-4 halogen APC lights with cool blue bulbs and the tail lights are old school blue dots lol.
The engine is the original 134 cu. in. 4 cyl. with a little elbow grease, paint, and chrome.
I took this pic with the spare tire off because it hides several hours of work that was put into the stock tail gate. I built the swing out rack from heavy duty 3/4" steel tubing. I used the same material to make the light hoop on the front bumper. We built the bumpers at a place I was working whenever I got disabled (not work related). I built the rock rails in my garage at home where I also did all of the body work and paint. The gas hole is hidden beneath the right tail light. I used the fuel tank from a 1989 Suzuki Samuri and it fit between the frame rails perfectly.
I'm not sure what color you'd call this, it was supposed to be a reddish copper but the gold and silver flake changed that. When I took pics in the garage it looked orange but the ones taken outside look right lol. Oh well, I liked it so I used it and layed on 6 coats of clear to protect it from get'n to many scratches from brush on the trail.
