Runs great, fun to drive, very capable 4-wheel drive vehicle, just never completely finished some of the wiring.
I had someone finish swapping the steering wheel and column.
I never finished the wiring, driving lights work but not turn signals, windshield wipers or dashboard gauges
This is what I added or had added
5.7 Liter Chevy (350) from a 98 Chevy Van, engine and trans had 29k miles when installed
Odometer shows 62469, not sure how accurate that is, put a few thousand miles on it with this engine
Auto Trans 4L60E from same 98 Chevy Van, with computer, etc.
Front axle Dana 50 with 5.12 gears from A Ford Truck with ARB lockers
Rear axle Dana 60 with 5.12 gears from A Ford Truck with ARB lockers
37-inch Goodyear Wranglers on 17-inch rims
Old Man Emu leaf springs and Rancho Shocks, great comfortable ride
Atlas Transfer case 4.3:1 ratio, twin stick shifter
Center console has a switch in it to turn off all power, I use it as a simple antitheft.
Seats are Iron Horse with five-point harness
Family rollbar installed, windshield to rear of tub
I've now installed my blue soft top with doors.
Not as pretty but equipped similar to ICON FJ40's and 1978 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Velocity Restorations but for a lot less $
I'll update pictures when I get a chance and the weather is better.
