The previous owner did the conversion using a 2005 Dodge Ram and getting most of the conversion parts (ECM reflash, harness, etc...) from Hotwire Auto. After purchasing it, I had Burnsville Offroad fix a few things to make sure everything was right. I replaced the water pump and radiator hoses in April 2011 (@52,719 miles) with OEM one. It turned out to be a bad clamp but since I had already undertaken the project, I decided to finish it. The original water pump, gasket, and radiator hoses will come with the Jeep. I also did an oil change at that time.

It needs nothing except for someone else to enjoy. It is in excellent condition with no rust whatsoever since I never drive it during winter (in storage from Nov-Apr). --->Photos can be seen here<--- and more can be taken upon request. Located in Minneapolis, MN but don't let the distance get in your way, Jeep trips rule! I may have missed a few things, so if you have any question or need further information, feel free to ask.

Dude, if I had the need and the dough, your stuff would be very high on my list. For anyone thinking about this or his other rig, I can vouch for this guy. Lawrence builds rigs the right way and takes care of them. My wife would kill me if I put one more in driveway though ... except for the early Bronco that she has her eye on.:Wow1:

Here's a bump for Lawrence. A few years ago, I purchased a Kimberly Kamper from him. The trailer was in great condition just as described. Driving from Reno to MN. and back took me around 75 hours. Lawrence was very easy to work with and both parties were pleased.

Hmmm...An LJ with a Hemi. Any frequent buyer discount Plan in place?

I will add this re: Lawrence, his heated garage was spotless. He takes very good care of his home, property and toys.

The drive wouldn't kill me, I'm only 3 hours away!!

My wife on the other hand, would kill me! Unless I sold every other Jeep I had and then some, before bringing that home!

Good Luck with the sale! Very nice TJ!

:sombrero: Judging by your recommendations and your resume of "mods", I would never buy a modified (extensive) jeep, but yours I would ina heartbeat-

As much as I would want an LJ--I'm pretty happy with my JKUR, but

I wanted to compliment you on your obvious "for sale" jeeps and good luck, somebodys gonna be "LUCKY"--
