Full disclosure, I am a new car (Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram & AEV) dealer my family has been for 46 years. We also own a BMW Motorcycle dealership . This is my personal rig, I don't advertise here but some members know me and come my way for deals. I just don't want anyone thinking I am peddling stuff for my dealership here. I started building this rig to go camping with my then ten year old daughter but by the time it was complete she had lost all interest. The engine has about 5000-6000 miles on it. No leaks anywhere.

The Jeep was built after a complete restoration and custom paint. Our intent was to keep it all Mopar. There are tons of details that I won’t recall unless I am standing next to the rig.
The engine is a 4.6 stroker balanced and blueprinted by Chad Golen at Golen Engines it was broken in on the dyno and runs Kinsler racing SRT4 balanced injectors. Aluminum radiator, high output alternator, Durango Police power steering pump, JBA stainless steel headers, magna-flow stainless exhaust.
The stock axles were rebuilt after being media blasted and trussed and sleeved. The axles are locked with ARB comp lockers and twin ARB compressor.
The front axles sport a big brake setup from Blaine at Vanco (know in the JK circles as Black Magic) dual master cylinder and stainless steel brake lines.
The body was completely stripped and media blasted, e-coated and with PPG Bonatti Gray(Land Rover paint code LAL) The roof is white.
The panels that were cut were all seam welded to accommodate the 17 inch AEV TJ Pintler bead-locks shod with 35” BF Goodrich KM2 Mud-Terrain.
The vehicle has a custom Recaro interior with goose gear cargo management, Atlas transfer case, linex inside and out up to the lower quarter.
The cargo compartment also houses the National Luna dual battery setup, 1200watt inverter, 50 quart ARB fridge/freezer, dual burner stove and oven. An air tank is included for quick airing up. All auxiliary and high demand 12volt accessories are wired through the S Pod.
Rock Krawler long arm suspension with custom valved emulsion twin stick shocks. JKS bump stops
Deaver military wrapped rear leaf suspension.
Tom Wood’s custom drive shaft
Warn rear bumper and tire carrier.
ARB roof rack and Hella driving lights with Rigid Industries chase lights and Rigid back up 10” LED lights
LED turn signals
JCR rear armor all linex
ARB front bumper
Warn XD 9000 winch with ASR synthetic line
ARB Intensity 9.5 inch spot and flood driving lights
Currie currect lync and Currie sway away quick disconnect.
James Baroud Discovery Extreme XXL roof top tent in black and Awning with side panels
Brown dog polyurethane motor mounts
Iron rock off road front and rear trusses
Genright Extended range fuel tank (30.5 gallons)
Safari snorkel mounted to a custom rivet plate on the “A” pillar.
This rig is a beast and it will take you wherever you point it and bring you back in comfort. NO rattles or squeaks.
Greg Henderson formerly of AEV and owner of Frankenbrute did most of the fabrication on the XJ
I haven't had the time to drive this rig and I haven't taken a trip in it since Jeep Jamboree and Expo East 2016.

Price $35k or best offer.

check the chart it gives all around great performance with the 35s and gets decent mileage.

Gear Ratio Guide for Larger Tires
A chart showing optimal gear ratios for lifted vehicles with larger tires to obtain the best power ratio.
When ever you change tire size from the original size to another there will be a direct effect on power and drivability. We have developed this chart to help you select the optimum gear ratio to put your performance back where you want it.
Using the chart below, first determine your original gear ratio and tire size and follow to the intersection that should be your approximate RPM at 65 MPH. Next find your new tire size and follow that across to the closest RPM to your original and that will be first choice.
If you are interested in a change that will give more power or better fuel mileage use the color coding as a guide.

Highway Driving, Good Fuel Economy​
Daily Driver, Best Overall Performance Most Power and Towing, Reduced Fuel Economy​
This chart is based on 65 MPH and a gear ratio of 1:1, on a manual transmission in 4th gear. Please NOTE: If you have an automatic transmission your RPM will higher due to slippage in the transmission and the torque converter. With an overdrive transmission your RPM in overdrive will be 15% to 30% less than indicated.
