Mosquito Pass & Wheeler Lake

March & April of 2014
Replaced the engine with another AMC 360. Its bored 30 over with an RV cam, upgraded springs and stainless push rods, its rated at 310hp. Also had my 727 auto completely rebuilt, only the case is being re-used.
100% of the "hard parts" have been replaced.

At the end of summer 2012 I finally snapped an axle shaft in my rear Dana-60. So I've upgraded to a GM 14 bolt rear. Also changed tires again and went back to a radial, 40" Nitto Mud Grappler Extreme Terrain tires.
I like them .

Las Cruces, NM end of March 2013
First two are in my drive way right after finishing putting in the 14Bolt rear and mounting
new beadlocks and Extreme Terrain 40's.

Poachers Loop, Granite, CO June 2012

Near the end of Poachers Loop out of Granite, CO. This is right after I cut my rear flares in half and removed the slider bars from the front fenders. Just another new look.

After splitting one of these tread to rim on literally the 3rd trail they ever saw I sold the MT/R's and bead-locks. Went to Maxis Creepy Crawlers.

Spring Creek July '11

After almost 2 years of basically sitting, the next evolution is starting. The full roll cage is gone, replaced by a Half-Cab/Bulkhead & stock roll bar... As you can see in the pictures below I custom fit some TJ door uppers, with new skins, to fit the CJ and the CJ8 half cab. You just have to cut of and re-weld the guide/holding pins a little, then they fit fairly OK. More pictures to come!

With the new 42's and new bead locks
