Well, for a little update... I picked up the Jeep as planned on Saturday, much to my surprise, it actually started right up and drove onto the trailer. I spent some time looking it over, it looks like it has a buick V6 already swapped in with some long tube headers and holley carb. I also got 2 extra hoods, a tailgate, windshield, and a bunch of extra parts for it. I ended picking up an original MB (military grille) for it as well while driving back to Roseville. Right now, I know I want 44's front and back, probably use stock waggy springs with a spring over, build a custom front drop box and rear bumper so I can stretch wheel base a few inches. I also picked 2 gallons of original olive drab flat army paint from a surplus shop. When the dust settles, I'm picturing sick army jeep on 35 or 37" MTR's with black wheels and roll bar. I'm still considering flipping it for some extra cash, so trying to keep the build cost down to a minimum. Pics to come!
Sounds like a cool rig. 
You can't beat the good looks of those flatfenders. 
You have a newer one than I have though, Mines a 43'. 
My plans are pretty straightforward. I have a CMFI 4.3L V6, bolting up to a SM420/Toybox/Toyota t-case, and some Toyota axles I have laying around. 
Should be a capable crawler when it's all done.
How do you want yours to be when it's all grown up?
