This Jeep is built as a Rock Crawler/ Trail Rider but can be driven daily just fine. Very good condition overall. Everything works, nothing is broken. Engine/Transmission Transfer case, Axles are in absolutely great shape, nothing is leaking, no light on the dash. Engine was rebuilt 10 years ago when I got it and I put about 15K miles on it. Jeep was used only as fun vehicle for Rock Crawling/ Trail Riding. Outside has a little bit of damage on the sheet metal from trail riding. Inside is one of the best kept interiors you will find on this model. 

The body has been substantially modified for Rock Crawing purposes. The front radiator frame has been cut off and a custom has been built. Has a front radiator from Jeep XJ. Hidden Winch custom installation. The front wheel wells have been substantially enlarged in the front and the front axle moved forward about 2”. Washer fluid reservoir has been moved under the hood. Stock rocker panels were removed and the bottom of the doors were trimmed 2”. Custom rocker guards were built. The rear wheel wells were also enlarged and the rear alxle moved back 1 or 2”. The spare tire pan removed and gas tank raised. Hitch receiver frame was modified and receiver moved up 2”. Bumper covers trimmed. Underneath the Transfer Case cross member was modified to be flat removing the drop gaining 2” of clearance thus moving the transfer case up 2”. Rear axle has been rotated so the pinion points at the Transfer Case. Reinforcement Brace added to rear axle. The shock mounting on the rear axle has been modified for greated articulation. Custom Suspension lift is about 5-6” and is set up to run on 33” tires. Transfer Case has been swapped to the 242 HD. Spartan lockers in both axles. Front axle shafts were swapped with custom U-Joint axle shafts. Front and rear axles were trimmed from low hanging parts. There is a Front Trail Camera. Hood vents were installed on the hood. Factory Sunroof. There are also other numerous small modification to make the Jeep perform on the trail. All the mods have been completed about 10 years ago and the Jeep was taken on the trail numerous times per year. Any “Bugs” in the vehicle have been ironed out. 

Jeep currently sits on 35” tires for road driving. For full suspension articulation on the trail it needs 33” tires. I ran it with 33” Super Swamper TSLs.
