 Nice ride - with all that modification you could own a Escalade or two. It's a Jeep thing - you wouldn't understand unless you own one!

Glad ya'all like it! I spent alot a time money and busted knuckles buildin the sob, but, its been a labor of love.
As far as MPG it gets around 12 on the hiway and about 8 around town... It stays parked alot.
The rod rack mounts on the upper part of the rollcage. the rods stand up in the back. (I usually have the back seat out).

I bought a 59 CJ (much to my dismay) with no engine and blown 5:88 gears front/rear. The previous owners which were numerous put a 455 pontiac engine in it. I put changed things around and replace what was there with 3:73 gears and built a 350 that had about 400 h.p.
Never registered it because I thought it was a death trap. Sold the engine for good money, and sold the jeep seperately to a young kid in Taunton and his grandfather.
