Vehicle Detail

For serious inquires please text or call me 270-535-0908 I want to address a couple items, then I will get into the good stuff. It does carry a rebuilt title. We bought the jeep in 2003 with 82K miles on it. It had a rebuilt title when we bought it. I had a reliable body guy look at it before I purchased it, and at the time he could not find any issues with the jeep. We bought it and drove it about 90K miles. The 4 cylinder got weak and with the wifes go ahead I started the journey of doing a full frame off rebuild. Once the body was off and I was taking the measurements for the LS1, I found that the frame rail above the front axle was leaning in and was not going to allow for the motor to fit. So we ordered a brand new frame from mopar . We also decided to replace the front axle. I didn't want to take any chances on alignment issues. We ordered a new dana 44 from G2 axle with a Detroit truetrac diff and 4:10 gears. The frame and front axle together rang in at 4960.00. The only piece of the entire drive line and chassis that comes from the original jeep is the rear axle housing. The rear axle is a dana 35. It has been upgraded with chromoly axle shafts and has the teraflex disc brake conversion. I have been asked several times as to why the rear axle was not completely replaced. Simply with the amount of money we had invested into the build we decided to spend a little to make it stronger and replace it with a dana 44 or a ford 8.8 later on. This build was extremely expensive (I have all the receipts) and extremely labor intensive. I did 95% of the work in my garage with a little help from friends and a local shop to finish up the exhaust. So with that being said, the branding of rebuilt is just that and means nothing at this point. The only original parts body,tub, some interior pieces have about 170K miles on them. Its rust free, and has the original paint on it. I didn't want a fresh paint job and a flawless body. I personally feel that the scuffs, door dings, and bumps compliment the armor nicely. The build was finished in spring of 2015 and I have put approx. 1200 miles on it since then. The jeep drives out great, no vibrations at all even at highway speeds. It is super quick and a blast to drive. It definitely will not disappoint. Drive Line LS1 5.7L 350HP 60K miles,from an 03 Corvette. Sold to me by contemporary corvettes. 3499.00 NSG370 6Speed 32K miles from 05 Wrangler 1400.00, NP231 was upgraded with super short slip yoke eleminator, Has been completely rebuilt new chain seals bearings and with all new hardened components.
