MY JEEP IS UP FOR SALE.  ALL OF MY PLANS HAVE STOPPED FOR THE JEEP AS FOR I WANT TO START ON A WHOLE NEW PLATFORM (YJ).  EVERYTHING AND A LITTLE MORE GOES WITH THIS THING.  THE DASH PAD, DROPPED PITMAN ARM, BRAND NEW CENTERFORCE STAGE 2 CLUTCH (NO DISC), THE NEW KM2'S AND RIMS, AND WHATEVER OTHER SMALL PIECES I HAVE FOR IT.  IT DOES HAVE IT'S TREE RASH FROM PLAYING.  IT HAS BEEN MY DD AND TRAIL TOY SO TREE RASH AND SCRATCHES ARE TO BE EXPECTED.  IT'S A JEEP THAT'S LOCKED AND LIFTED....  $6,400obo takes it home.  It might be pricey to some but take into consideration the new panels, tires, rims, and other mods. 

 

 

This is my project/daily driver.  I know these two don't go together but I make it work.  I purchased this back in 2006 for under $4,000.  It came with the AMC 304, T176, Dana 300, stock axles w/ lockrights front and rear, 4.88 gears, one piece rear axle, 4" suspension lift, and 34" LTB's

Here's when I purchased it

I've since tried to make it decent (one color).  Took it to a horrible body shop guy in Ogden, KS.  But I have learned from this mistake.  I do take my jeep offroad but never have anyone with a camera who is willing to hop out and take some pics. 

Here's some more recent photos of the build....

Nice CJ. I have a CJ that I have been building up for the past 4 years. Nothing beats a well built JEEP! If you get a chance,..check it out and let me know what you think. Keep up the good work and have fun!
