This was to be my next step in the project before it was put on hold.


I kept papers and receipts on most items purchased and shop work done.
Much more in the build that I most likely forgot. Too much to remember

Used, not abused. Previously a capable road legal Overland vehicle used to explore off road trails and back country environments across the lower 48.
Made cross country trips from NH to Moab UT, Mojave Desert CA, Rockies CO, Sedona AZ, Osceola Florida, etc just to name a few.

As mentioned above, unfortunately I had to abandon the project this spring due to unexpected situations and changing priorities.
While there is a lot of money invested in this project,
I am both realistic and aware that when we sell our projects we don't get what we put into our builds.
Looking to get a fair and reasonable price considering the sum of its parts. Entertaining all reasonable offers.

Any questions feel free to ask. I can provide more pictures if needed.
Make this project your own, or use these parts for a great project of yours already in progress.

Here is what the Jeep looked like immediately after the roll:
