Just when you think you have something unique.

All running and runs way beyond expected. Engine runs cool, tranny shifts awesome, no leaks and killer exhaust. Finished up some other small things that were on the list. 1 being an airbox instead of the open element air filter. I ended up using an Airaid box that I had planned for my FJ62 but...

Under the hood is finished. Buttoning up the dash, new driveshafts, then off to the muffler shop

Console is late9 90s GM. Got the fuel tank finished and ready to install. Using a GM in tank ump with the Corvette return style filter.

Finally got the ac finished and put the front clip back on. Working on the tranny cooler and finishing the electrical.

Wired the fan module, installed the new windshield, finished the Hydro boost plumbing with all AN fittings, and got the front clip ready to put on. Waiting on 1 ac fitting to finish the ac plumbing and clip goes back on. Still fiddling with the tcase, shifters and the fuel tank should be showing...

Engine is in and electrical and plumbing has started. The Jeep harness although greatly improved on by Chrysler in 87 is still poor engineering at its best. Electrical power for the body has to travel via way too small of wire according to the load all the way from the passenger fender to the...

Thought about that, but finding a nice Razor Grill is next to impossible these days. The core support is the same though so half the battle is won.

Started a build thread on MUD under Jeep section Project Woody

One thing led to another and with the factory aluminum bumpers off already I decided to have them chromed to backdate the look of the wagon some and give the bumpers some protection from the elements. All brackets and hitch parts were sent to powdercoating at this time as well. This truck isn't...

In the process I pulled the windshield, dash, and most of the interior for new modified parts. The dash was rebuilt and modded to accept flush mount tweeters. A console was sourced that fit the 89 style, color matched and a speaker system was installed along with new head unit and amplifier. The...

Now the pretty part....Crate LS3 with some performance parts and some bling. I went with Camaro accessories for their compactness and easy of install. The Wagon will have ac, with cruise and Tap Shift functions working as well.

Now comes this...after deciding that garage clean up and oil trails all over it was time to fix the drive train. I researched the LS family of engines and decided to go the 430HP version and do some mods to it to get it to 450hp and still be reliable and keep overall driveability. I am using the...

This first update comes from 3 months later with lots of mods done. 4" BDS springs with Hydro shocks, deleted track bars and sway bars and added 33" BFGs. This was the way it was going to stay for a while as it was my driver and I really enjoyed it, but everything leaked, it ran like a 144hp 360...
