The Jeep recently had the whole front axle replaced with new componenets, plus longer 5.5'' springs up front to allow for better travel/articulation and compensation for front bumper/winch.

Carpets were shampoo'd and a fresh coat of wax applied. New valve cover gasket, thermostat!

Also brand new catalytic converter and rewelded exhaust!

Disclosure - I'm working on finding an oil drip. The water pump leaks, but I have a replacement in the garage ready to install.

haha - if it helps:
BUILT BY: JEEPERJOHN,
MODIFIED BY: WEBDOG and myself.

oh yea - reason to sell: Looking for a more self-contained vehicle for my style of adventure camping/offroading. Someone is getting a good deal here

You never look, but I've easily put $12,000 into it. Have all receipts and records!

Your rig looks like a great build. My guess is there are many reasons why it hasn't sold, including:
Crappy Economy, ignorance of jeeps or motor used (my story, I just have never had any experience with them, toyotas yes, jeeps no), fear of blue?

Oh yeah BUMP!:sombrero:
