Post by: kvom on July 20, 2020, 03:48:10 PM
Decided that for future wheeling the other Jeep is built enough to follow Kevin around.   ;)

Some specs:

Started life as a '97 TJ and was converted to a Pro Mod WeRock rig by Bandlands back when.  Only Jeep parts left are a few feet of frame at the front and the body sheet metal.  All DOM tubing for cage and frame.  Boat sides.  Hard half doors with recent soft upper halves.

3-link front (has brackets for 4 link), 4 link rear.  7075 arms with recent joints. 

6.0 LQ9 LS motor with stock cam.  Something over 320HP.  Camaro oil plan and Corvette serpentine gear. Oil accumulator. I had the electrics completely redone this year, so all relays are on the dash.  12V and USB sockets.

Dual battery setup with automatic isolator.  Remote battery terminals on both sides.

Dual radiators with fans controlled by ECM. 

Turbo 350 3-spd auto transmission with reverse manual valve body.  Winter shifter.

Atlas 4.3 transfer case

Front axle is a Rockcrusher d60 4.10 gears, new ball joints.  CTM joints.  Hydro assist.  Suck down winch with in-cab control.  Welded tie down brackets.  Detroit locker.

14-bolt rear axle.  Welded tie down brackets. Detroit locker.  Cutting brake.

GM 3/4-ton brakes.

Radflo coilovers and bump stops on all 4 corners.

15 gallon fuel cell.  Engine runs best on 90 gas,

39" BFG red stickies on Trailready aluminum beadlocks.  These hold air on the trail but will leak down when stored.  I usually run at 10 psi. Spare is on an old steel 6-lug beadlock that I redrilled to 8-lug.  It mounts on a removable carrier on the rear frame.  Tread measures 18, 18, 15, and 14/32.  Spare 18/32.

8274 Warn winch with rope and in-cab controls.  Rebuilt in last two years.  Front suckdown winch with in-cab control.

4-point harnesses on both seats.  Seats are old but quite comfortable.

CB

Removable steering wheel

Swag box on rear shelf

102" wheelbase

You say, "Started life as a '97 TJ and was converted to a Pro Mod WeRock rig by Bandlands back when"

When is back when?

And do you know what the up and down wheel travel is?

Back when was in the very early 2000's.

There are limit straps on both axles;  don't know more than that.

I bought the rig in 2009 from the guy in Bremen who goes through rigs frequently, and there were two other owners before then.  As you likely know, it started with a completely different driveline (Northstar engine, 700R tranny, Stak TC).

Not to @Ronniej

Sale ad posted 15 months with no takers, and had 3 people call this week.  So it'll still be seen on GATR rides.

Sad to see it leave.

Change the steering first and then run it and take it from there. Maybe do some touch up painting to cover the surface rust areas.
