Black Bruiser
Today I picked up another jeep.
From what I was told, it was owned by JCR offraod and one of the employee's got it for whatever reason. He then sold it to his good buddy who I bought it from. It has JCR sticker all over it and some dots connect on Greatlakes4x4. Wasn't really a selling point, but still a cute little tale to go with it.
Well this will be kind of a recovery. There is a lot wrong with Bruiser.
Specs
4.0
auto
8.25 open
NP242j Select track
JCR front bumper
JCR rear tire carrier
JCR rock sliders
3 inch Rough Country lift will full leafs
Quick Disco
31in Goodyear Wrangler MTRs with full size spare (<3 these tires)
Rubicon Rims
Tomorrow I will be taking pics when it's not 1:22am.
TO DO LIST!!!
-Rocket panels (RUST) (I really am putting ROCKET panels.)
-Rear 1/2 panels (RUST)
-Fender Flares (knock offs? Makeshift? Clean up the edge? tbd)
-Fix Passenger headlamp
-Fix passenger side bumper light
-Fix Cruise Control (bad switch/fuse?)
-Make inner fender walls front & rear...
-Clean it.....

I'm thinking of ditching the tire swing, tucking the 1/4s and making a new bumper that wraps around and matches the sliders.
It's a lot of weight and it will sell for some big $$$
