Long story short. This jeep has lots of stuff. Most of it is completely custom. I have lots of cool buddies and family that has helped me along the way to design and build this Jeep. The custom parts far out number what is left of the stock parts. At least it still looks kinda like a TJ

4 link rear
Summit Machine flex joints
14" Fox 2.0 coil overs

That covers the big stuff. So much to list. The pics can do the rest of the talking. Let me know if you have any questions or want any more detailed pics and I'll see what I can do. Sorry for the random order. I just grabbed a few out of the many that I have.

Some footage from Moab a few weeks ago. I ended up popping my goodyear MTRs this summer. I got the warranty replacements from discount and sold the set. I hit up agility customs and ordered a set of 40" maxxis Razr MTs. They seem to be a pretty good tire. Definitely not as good as my sticky creepy crawlers, but still pretty good. Probably about on par with my MTRs or KM2s. They do have a really flexible carcass though. Maybe I'm just used to having 8 ply D-rated tires and these are C.

My Mastercraft seats have been great, but I really despised how much of a pain it was to access the rear seat/storage. It was time to make a change. I got the driver side mounted which took longer than expected. The mounting tab pattern on my mastercrafts is 1” wider than the PRP. Their website says 14” but my seats are 15”. Weird. No worries. Just a minor setback.

I then got sidetracked and decided to mount my automatic brake pedal assembly I picked up a few months ago. No more floppy clutch pedal.
