Cabin  beside us in Moab.
Thought you Cherokee and Jeep fans might enjoy this rig.
LS1

As i recall???
60's front/rear
4.56
ARB f/r
35's
atlas

He's been to Moab 3x. He uses his wife's grand cherokee V8 to haul the rig on a flatdeck from Michigan :o

Anyways, it was pretty kewl. i liked it...a lot ;D

Looks like a great rig.

In addition to all the obvious stuff that he looks to have done a nice job with, I've always liked those "safety thimble" type end that he has on his winch line. Won't even begin to fit into the fairlead, less likely to snag on things, and forces people (no matter how lazy or new to recoveries) to use a shackle instead of a hook.  :)

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Did you get the guys email? I would like to ask him some questions about the engine swap and the roil cage.

Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.

i did not but i am sure if you looked for Michigan off road sites, you could track him down that way.

Nice !  almost looks like the one built by Rusty's off road.

I only wish I could afford to build up my Comanche similar to that , c'ept a built 5.0 Ford would do  , or maybe , since I'm kinda product loyal , a Mopar crate engine of some kind.  Sadly , unless I win a lottery , the Comanche will remain as a dd and get driven into the ground.

That is cool. I was just thinking the other day how my MJ would benifit from an LS1, since it got spanked by the new TJ in G.P. with a 350 on snowy hillclimbs.
Now I have to look into it more, get out the plasma.......................................................
