I was in the area so I stopped by to see Brad and Josh (unstuck)at The Rad Jeeper yesterday morning. I had heard they had just finished a ground up restore on a CJ-5 and I wanted to see what it was about. The timing was perfect, they were just getting ready to move it outside and start the next project and this one was finally "done".
It was fun to see an old jeep that had so many new parts. And it really stood out. From the 2 minute story they told me about it is that is belongs to a guy whos buddy had passed away and left him this old jeep. It was kind of personal to him to have it cleaned up and fixed to remember his past friend. So it does have a cool story behind it too.
Brad did mention that they are eye-balls deep it work all the time. He is looking into getting a larger building somewhere in town. In the back waiting for more work were a few FJ's (I understand that stands for Foreign Jeep
) and a few other cherokees. It was raining pretty hard so I did not venture out for those photos.
On with the pictures...
Engine bay was so clean you could eat off it.
Looks like a brand new jeep
Body Armor front and rear bumpers chosen by the customer.
On the side Brad has his own personal crawler he has been slowly working on. But I wanted to take a photo of the crusher corners that are made by The Rad Jeeper. They looked as clean as anything I have seen aftermarket.
