Jeepers Keepers 2.0 - Skip to page 10

[green50gt]

Well, it happened, or at least I think it happened.  I found a keeper.  It wasn't exactly everything I was after, but it was most of it.  1000% Rust free, Automatic, LJ, Good miles, Not Khaki, but it is not a Rubicon.

I shipped this in from Fort Worth Texas, and wowsers it's clean.  It will be a rebuilt title, but really has nothing more than bumps and bruises here and there.  It already has one of those fancy Smittybilt bolt in cages in it - I freakin love it!

I do have a couple different build directions, but really I am hanging tight a bit as I may have a life changing job change/relocation, so I can't have a Jeep up on stands for 6 months....  (Although I do have the axles up for sale..  :🙂 )

It may be no surprise, I have been talking about putting tons under a Jeep for a while, and that's really the direction I would like to go.  I have a set of 4.30'd 99-04 Super Duty axles secured, however I am being pushed to go 05+ for the front 60 and 11+ 10.5 for the factory rear electric locker - but those are only 3.73's, and more expensive.

So far the axles, wheels tires, side steps, bumpers, and spotless rust free Impact Orange front fenders are for sale..

Pics for now.

Nice find! It's from Texas, it's definitely a keeper.
When do you find out about the job/relocation??

Thanks!  Umm, just waiting for them now to see if they can make the monies happen.

Stripped.

Highlines or no? Steel or aluminum? Those are honestly my favorite flares. I have the steel version. They've taken a few good hits and keep coming back for more.

High lines.  They only make steel anymore.  Yes me too this is probably my 11th or 12th set.

I cant imagine that the steel ones weigh much more as little material as there is? You should have kept that last set of aluminum ones you got from me.

You'd be surprised.  Well I mean they looked great, but they weren't high lines.  🙁  I needed more travels.

Fair enough on the high line point .

Cleaned her up a bit, pulled the sway bar in preparation.

Here is the new design finally for the Marked Designs bumpers.  45 at the back to aide in winching applications...  clears factory sway bar also.

With all this time home this means that it was finished yesterday and sold the day before?  :-X

Where's that improved on fairlead mount. Figured you'd be showing that off as well.

The optional one?  We still have it.  99% of people go for the basic one.  Haven't built any aluminum bumpers so haven't built any of those in a while.

Put one on real quick just for giggles.  Hopefully it warms up and stays dry and I will get these test fit and the hood cut up.  Don't think Ill paint the hood but definitely the grill.
