This is my wife's Jeep she is as big of a gearhead as I am and has a history of racing jeeps back in the day.

when we purchased it, it had a tow bar bumper on it. it spent the first part of its life behind a motor home, then it sat in an airplane hangar for 20 years!

I took it apart and replaced the wear items and cleaned and painted the frame and axle.

after everything was cleaned up and ground back to stock I fabricated a new bumper, I like stock appearing but with a twist, no bumper bolts!

I had to replace the radiator so I added a recovery bottle.

I repainted the springs and installed new shackles and bushings, I also installed a red head steering box and a drop pitman arm.

I cut down an ammo can about 6"

I added an eye bolt to the latch and Pat has a padlock that she can secure the box when she is out shopping.

it made a great console and cup holder it was powder coated with wrinkle satin black. the thread in the seats fell apart so I had Danny reupholster the seats with a pattern to match the new back seat.

I couldn't believe it either! I found this sitting on a car lot in town.
