Homegrown Jeeps Built For Wheeling - Jeep Shots - Four Wheeler Network
To give the Forest Pearl Green XJ better legs for traversing the Colorado backwoods, a 61?2-inch long-arm suspension was installed. Custom bumpers add protection, while a set of chromoly front axleshafts and 8. 8-inch rear axle increase confidence on the trail. To spin the 33-inch BFG KM2s, Yukon 4. 56 axle gears were installed. The JK is equipped with a 3-inch Synergy Mfg. The 10,000-pound winch is nestled in an ARB front bumper, while a LoD rear bumper carries the spare and accessories out back. Ace Engineering fenders, skidplates, and AEV Pintler rims with 33-inch-tall tires finish out the list of mods. An NV241 Rock-Trac transfer case was transplanted from a Rubicon Wrangler and has ‘shafts Tom Wood’s Custom Drive Shafts attached at the outputs. Up front, a high-pinion Dana 30 axle is stuffed with an Aussie Locker, while a Ford 9-inch rests outback with a Trac-Lok differential. The custom suspension is said to be around 8 inches of total lift. This is more than enough to easily clear the 36-inch bias-ply IROK tires. The ’48 Willys CJ-2A (green) and ’48 CJ-3A belong to Glade Meredith of Show Low, Arizona. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
