Oh, and the jeep.
Was a wrecked 2004 Wrangler that had frame damage, so I sourced an undamaged frame and installed it under the tub.
The jeep was finished in 2010 it took about 9 months start to finish.
There isn’t another one exactly like it anywhere.
It runs very strong, will go just about anywhere you point it, and will run as fast as you want on or off the road.
The suspension is very soft and handles bumps with ease. On the rocks, it flexes well and climbs like a cat.
The jeep does not like days with 100 degree temps, it has never overheated, but shouldn't be left idling in the sun, it will immediately cool off once the rev’s are up or going down the road. This has never been a problem for me, but want any prospective buyer to be aware. It also needs to run on high octane fuel 93 or better, if you want the engine to be at it’s most potential, it will run fine on less, but the timing will need to be brought back a little.
I have no idea of the miles on the running gear, but it was mostly a rock crawler, so no where near it’s age. The engine axles, transmission and transfer case were in my old CJ-7 for about 7 or so years. It was never a daily driver at any point, always trailered to and from the trails. It has been in car shows and competition events, always attracts attention.
I am not using this jeep to it’s fullest potential and think my little 2003 TJ Rubicon is more useful. I hate to sell it, but my priorities have changed. Please ask any questions or request specific pics. My description above is pretty accurate, but may have left off a few enhanced items. Will edit as they come to me.
Shipping is the buyer’s responsibility, payment must be in full before the jeep leaves my possession.
