Gotrocks Buggy Build. Engine transplant!!

I will.  I haven't looked, but didn't you say you were going to build a buggy?

Yeah, thats on hold for now.

Little side note, but I did get rid of my R6 and did a partial trade for this sweet Rubicon.  I know I've gone against all my toyota roots, but the price was amazing and the fact that he wanted my bike as a partial trade sealed the deal.  My wife loves going wheeling but when the weather is bad, she doesn't dig the buggy.  I still plan on putting in a rear premie seat from PRP but until our daughter is old enough she isn't going wheeling.

The Jeep was owned by a former Jeep engingeer back in Detroit.  He moved out the the northwest, but on his way out he took the Jeep to Moab for its maiden voyage with is current build.  When he was there, he flopped it and hasn't touched it since.  So I bought it with a few trail scars (all bolt all parts) and it only needed some TLC to make it look nice again.

The jeep only has 29,000 miles but it has:

-RockJock 60's f/r
-Walker Evans Coilovers front
-Quarter Eliptic Rear
-4 linked f/r
-anitrock swaybars
-5 42 Iroks with Walker bead locks.

Its an awesome family rig that just needs some TLC.  Our new company will be making some new products for the jeep and it will be a company display rig/weekend wheeler.

Thanks.  I wouldn't own a jeep if it wasn't HAHAHA

I still have plans to rebuild my FJ-40 some which is the closest thing that Toyota ever built that was like a jeep but definetly better.

I've been missing a jeep ever since I sold my TJ since it was my first vehicle.  I have had far more toyotas (14 or so) but the Jeeps still hold a place in my heart.
