Description

I bought this jeep as a daily driver, nd have wound up replacing nearly everything on it. Here are the basics- AMC V8, anual 4-speed, -inch suspension lift with 35's (less than 1,000 miles), inch, ustom bumpers.
First, he condition of the tub is actually quite good for a 77. Some rust around the lower wheel wells, ut other than that it is solid. Inside has been painted- appears to be a thin coat of bedliner. Outside has a few dings, ut is in good shape. It is a fine specimen for the year. New seats, ront and back. New bikini top. Soft top looks to be a few years old and has some wear, ut is solid.
ALL MECHANICAL WORK HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DONE. Here is what I have added, ixed, r replaced:
  • Water pump
  • Fuel pump and fuel filter
  • New champion aluminum radiator
  • Exhaust gasket, il pan gasket, nd oil pump gasket
  • Transmission, ncluding mounts and skid plate
  • Crankcase
  • Driveshaft
  • Complete suspension- springs, hocks, way bar, tc.
  • Complete wiring kit- no more wiring gremlins!!!
  • Utility rack on rear
  • Bedliner on bumpers and fender flares
  • Plasti-dip on front quarter panels and tailgate for a nice two-tone black appearance.
  • Diamond plate rocker panels and rear corner.
  • All total, have invested about $9,000 in this jeep so far. I can provide all invoices and service records, ncluding a reference at the shop that did the work.
    Here is what needs to be done next, n order of priority:
  • Wheel bearings (1 month)
  • Power steering (1-2 months)
  • The rear end has a locker welded in place that needs to come off. (1-3 months)
  • Motor conversion- the motor in it is the original and it purrs like a kitten, ut leaks oil. I drive it daily. I was planning to replace the motor in the next 6-8 months.
  • Radio and speakers (whenever)
  • A/C (if that is a priority to you- I run the bikini top in the summer and the fan with the soft top in the winter and that works for me).
  • Once this list is done, his Jeep is safe, eliable, nd a solid asset. It is a head-turner. I have never had this jeep off road. Except for the time spent in the shop, t's been my daily driver. It stays covered in the rain. If you're looking for a solid project that someone else has started and done THE RIGHT WAY, nd want to take it the final mile, his is your Jeep. I hate to part with it, ut my employmentsituationdemands it.
