-Transfer case needs a new input seal that was quoted at $300CAD from a transmission shop here.

-New 3/4ton GM steering box.


Frame/brakes:

-2.5 body lift

-frame has been strengthened with 3/16” steel C-Chanel running length of suspension mounts to handle the power from the new LS engine.

-The frame has been seem sealed and then freshly undercoated after work

Body:

-Front and rear SMF bumpers are powder coated black. Front bumper has 9.5ton Warn winch with remote, rear has swing away full size spare wheel and tire

-Warn locking hubs.

-Front end rebuild includes new (drag link, inner and outlet tie rod ends, inner and outer wheel bearings, Axle Ujoints, ball joints, new spindles and hubs, fresh alignment etc.).

-No expense spared.


Interior:

Freshly restored a couple weeks ago with bed liner over the new floor pans

-Carbon fiber body wrap on the instrument panel

-Painted steering column.

-New Autometer gauges.

-Water proof seats are surprisingly comfortable, but can be changed out very quickly if you want a different style.

-5 point TCI harnesses (just lap belt can be used for daily driving if you want).


$25,000 in quality, name brand parts alone in this Jeep.Labour just to do basic engine swap is quoted locally at $8,000-$10,000 plus parts.

You can’t build this Jeep for less even using cheap parts.


Most parts on this Jeep don’t even have 100km on them.


This is not a show vehicle but a really nice and fun to Drive daily driver for a great price. A real head turner and thumbs up type of vehicle. In my option and with quotes I’ve gotten $2000-3000 would really make this Jeep a show stopper, but Ichose to allow these final decisions to be made by the proud new owner.
