Vehicles Story
I bought this Jeep while doing a job in Trenton NJ; it was sitting in the back of what appeared to be an abandoned lot covered with years of dirt and grime. I spoke with the owner (who emerged from what appeared to be an equally abandoned looking garage/shack) and bought the truck for $250. It took me about a year worth of hard work and 4 donor vehicles to get it completed. I grabbed the 360 V8 out of a '73 J-Truck, the suspension out of a nicely lifted rusted-to- death '78 CJ5, the T-18 4 speed, transfer case and Dana 44 out of an '86 CJ7, and various other parts from yet another junk CJ7. I handled all the paint and bodywork, which ended up being more than I bargained for...it apparently was rolled at some point in its life. I picked up a Holley Pro-Jection fuel injection kit for it at a local car show, added dual exhaust, a winch, and 33' TRXUS Mud Terrains. This truck was a monster off-road and a handful on the highway. Definitely one of my favorite projects to build and then whoop on.
