Finally nearing completion of this project, nearly 9 years later (14 years if you count the amount of time it has sat since the old straight 6 went poof.)
Several detours on the way, dragged it from Houston to Albuquerque, then a storage unit for several years - then my garage and buying up an engine/axles/parts etc - then sat again (my great intentions on working on it gave way to too much work at my real job) - then to Kansas to have it "professionally" rebuilt/finished - then back home when that deadended - then up to Matt at Rockware late last year for a definitive completion.
Here is how it will end up:
Stayed with the OEM frame as it was in great shape to begin with
GM Goodwrench crate 350 with L82 cam - 80's TBI
NV4500
Atlas 4.3 2 speed case
Front D60 with an ARB 4.56 gears
Rear Currie 9" HD housing - 9+ Race Case - Detroit
4" Deaver Leaf Spring SUA
Rancho Shocks
Refurbished Warn 8274
35" MTR's on chrome wagon wheels
CV Driveshafts
Rockware front and rear bumpers and sliders
This is my wife's CJ. And she wanted something that looked old school but was pretty bulletproof on the trail. She intends to daily drive it some as well.
She intends to put the period correct Renegade sticker package on it as well.
Thanks to those involved in this many year project. But special thanks to Matt Peterson and his crew at Rockware in Colorado Springs. Professional, extremely detail oriented, but tolerant of all our fussiness.
