This has been a 5 year project and is now complete. This is one of the most detailed Jeep YJ builds you will ever see. And the Jeep theme has been kept throughout the process by sticking with Jeep based parts and accessories. Instead of ripping out the straight 6 in favor of a Chevy v8, I decided to build a custom Jeep stroker engine that runs beautifully and has plenty of torque. It was built to tackle most moderate/difficult trails while still being able to drive comfortably down the highway. This is a seriously capable rig and is not a toy meant for a first time driver. Here is a list of the modifications done. This is not a complete list but is fairly extensive. For any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
