OLDSCHOOL 1974 JEEP CJ WITH LOTS OF UPGRADES. FULL FIBERGLASS BODY INCLUDING FENDERS AND HOOD. EQUIPPED WITH AN AMC 360 C.I. V-8 WITH AN EDELBROCK INTAKE AND CARB. NEW WITHIN THE LAST YEAR 3 ROW RADIATOR, ENGINE RUNS RIGHT AT 165-170 DEGREES EVEN IN THIS HEAT. FENDERWELL HEADERS WITH OLDSCHOOL PURPLE HORNIES( PAINTED HIGH HEAT GRAY) SOUNDS GREAT. HYDRAULIC OPERATED CLUTCH CONNECTED TO A 4 SPEED GRANNY TRANNY ( SM465) WITH A NOVAK ADAPTER TO A DANA 300 TRANSFER CASE WITH TWIN STICK OPERATION. REAR DRIVESHAFT IS EXTREMELY SHORT WITH A DOUBLE CARDAN (CV JOINT) CONNECTED TO A DANA 44 WITH 3.73 GEARS. FRONT IS A DANA 30 WITH 3.73 GEARS AND A POWERTRAX LOCKER. FRONT HAS DISC BRAKES WHILE THE REAR HAS STANDARD DRUMS. HAS SAGINAW POWER STEERING SETUP WHICH IS EFFORTLESS. 15 X 10 AMERICAN RACING ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH 35 X 12.50 X 15 B.F.G. ALL TERRAIN RADIALS. 3 INCH SUPERLIFT SUSPENSION SYSTEM. WARN 6000 LB. WINCH 4 DAYLIGTHER STYLE LIGHTS AND A BRAND NEW ( STILL IN THE BOX) BESTTOP TOP AND DOORS. IT IS CURRENTLY PA. INSPECTED. IT DOES NEED SOME FINISHING TOUCHS TO BE COMPLETE. THE LIGHTS ( 4 AUX. LIGHTS) ARE NOT WIRED UP. I HAVE THE COMPLETE HARNESS WITH FUSES AND RELAYS WITH SWITCHES JUST NOT INSTALLED. I WAS FINISHING THE INSTALLATION OF THE WINCH AND WAS TESTING THE OPERATION PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE CABLE AND I BELIEVE ONE OF THE SOLINOIDS IS STUCK CLOSED. I WAS USING THE REMOTE AND THE WINCH WOULD CYCLE IN AND OUT AND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STUCK IN THE IN POSITION. ( THE WINCH MOTOR WAS JUST COMPLETELY REBUILT, OVER $200 ) THE STEERING BOX MIGHT NEED SOME ADJUSTMENT. IT IS EFFORTLESS TO TURN BUT DOES SEEM TO HAVE SOME FREE PLAY WHILE AT A STEADY CRUISE. JEEP WANDERS EVR SO SLIGHTLY. THE REAR PINION ANGLE SHOULD BE CHANGED ( HAS A SLIGHT VIBRATION UNDER LOAD ). I ADDED ABOUT A 4 DEGREE SHIM TO RAISE THE ANGLE BUT SHOULD HAVE MAYBE A 10 DEGREE SHIM OR REWELD THE PERCHES TO CORRECT THE VIBRATION. THE PAINT IS NOTHING FANCY BRIGHT YELLOW, BUT DOES HAVE SOME DIRT AND FISH EYES MAINLY IN THE HOOD AND FENDERS,( ITS A JEEP ) I PUT THE RENEGADE STRIPES ON AND THEY LOOK GREAT BUT ARE NOT PERFECT ( COUPLE OF WRINKLES IN THE HOOD SIDE STRIPES ). INTERIOR IS 2 FIBERGLASS BUCKETS RIGID MOUNTED, NO SLIDERS. INTERIOR HAS BEEN PAINTED WITH PLASTICOATED BEDLINER. IT DOES HAVE A WORKING HEATER WITH A 2 SPEED BLOWER. I WILL BE POSTING MORE PICTURES ONCE THE AUCTION IS RUNNING. I AM LOCATED 1/2 MILE OFF INTERSTATE 81, EXIT 100. MY ZIP IS 17963. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. On Jul-19-10 at 11:23:02 PDT, seller added the following information: I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE WINCH AND HAVE FINISHED THE INSTALL. IT WORKS VERY WELL NOW, OPERATES NORMALLY IN AND OUT ALONG WITH THE FREE SPOOL MODE. THE TOP IS NOW INSTALLED, AND I HAVE POSTED SEVERAL PIC'S OF THE UNDERSIDE. THE FRAME IS BOXED FROM THE REAR CROSSMENBER ABOVE THE AXLE ALL THE WAY UP THE THE ENGINE MOUNTS. A LITTLE PAINT & DETAIL WORK AND THE UNDERSIDE WOULD LOOK VERY GOOD. I ALSO ADDED THE V-8 EMBELMS JUST 'CAUSE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO PUT THEM ON. THEY ARE JUST INSTALLED WITH 2 SIDE TAPE, BUT ARE CORRECT FOR THE JEEP. WITH A LITTLE TLC THIS COULD BE A REALLY GREAT RIDE.
