I have always had jeeps and an FJ40 in the past just seemed like I was always packed to the gills. So when I moved to Utah I sold my grand cherokee and purchased this beast for a song, $700. It had about 220k on it but ran pretty good I was looking for a vehicle that had lots of avaible parts. After i picked it up I stuffed 33" Cooper's under it with very little fender triming. I wheeled it a few times, even in Moab. It barley survived Moab due to a flash flood. The creek I had just crossed an hour beforewashed out and when I went to cross it I lost the whole front under water. Gas and Brake pedals were under water trying to keep it running. I got lucky that someone pulled me out. After that the tranny blew every ounce of tranny fluid. After a filter and fluid change. Drove it 4 hrs home no problems. I started aquiring parts to work on over the winter. I purchased a 6" lift springs for the front and ORD shackle flip kit for the rear and 2" bolck to keep level. Had some sliders built (think I got hosed The guy used cold rolled steel instead of DOM) and just found a front Warn winch bumper to throw on the front after a few modifacations(made for ford). Looking to get some 37" military tires. I removed the third row seat and built a platform back there to use as a sleeping platform and to store a full size spare along with the factory ultimate spare. I am looking to build a expedition style Jumping Jack trailer. Plans seem to never stop but I will post more pics as more trips come by and modicications.
