The original rust free steel body was separated from the chassis, disassembled to bare metal, sand blasted and painted yellow. Everything else on the truck besides the yellow surface paint is powder coated or rhino lined. Meaning all the black surfaces on this Jeep are durable powder coated,weatherproof undercoated, or rhino lined (no black paint).

The engine, transfer case, transmission, steering gear box, differentials are all freshly rebuilt. From there everything has been replaced with better new parts. The original 304 engine has been hot rodded to perform. The internals (pistons, valves, cam) are all modern and new. The intake is Edelbrock aluminum, The 650cfm 4 barrel carburetor is Holly Truck Avenger. Lots of chrome accessories, polished headers, new radiator & cooling system, and Petronix electronic ignition.

This Jeep has two fuel tanks; 15gal rear and 10gal under-seat tank. Steel fuel lines throughout and manual tank valve for on-the-go fuel tank switching. A set of side ram/step bars have been fabricated (powder coated) for this Jeep to provide extra side impact protection. The Jeep wears a new set of American Racing 15x8 steel wheels with a fresh set of 30” BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires. The brake system has been upgraded with a complete Steel Brake System kit, with disk all around, large rotors in front, new larger master cylinder, and steel lines through out. The new suspension consists of serviced leaf springs, polyurethane sleeves, bushings, and body mounts. Shocks has been upgraded to a complete adjustable Rancho RS9000 kit with 5 levels of adjustment.

The entire interior surface of the truck (cabin, engine bay) has been rhino lined, for durability and easy cleaning. All hardware (bolts, screws, nuts) on the entire truck has been replaced with either chrome or stainless steel new hardware. The rhino lined interior, brand new Besttop weatherproof seats, make for easy cleaning after adventuring. The diamond plates have been added for future protection to the vulnerable rear corners.

Wherever you look on this Jeep, everything has either been replaced, recoated, or improved with durability and longevity in mind.

This brand new just finished Jeep has currently only 65 brake-in miles. It drives like a beast with a lots of low end torque, tight but maneuverable suspension, excellent turning radius, squick-free and comfortable drive you would expect from a brand new truck.
