1978 Jeep project, it started out as a rusted out 78, I had an 84 CJ7 so most of the tub, rollbar, dash are retrofitted, the main reason is the 84 body from the doors back is cleaner and had 3 point belts and rear seat. This vehicle is not perfect, it has been driven for over a year but im running out of driveway space. It has a hardtop and doors that is painted silver but the paint doesnt match the jeep itself but pretty close, they were painted later. I also have the factory Jeep Soft top in great condition all windows are clear not yellow. It has a 304 V8 with a 3sp transmission 84 wide axles. The gas tanks on the rear are black not red.

The Bad - Gas guage, temp guage, oil pressure guage doesnt work, (had stereo installed think they nocked off the wires) Hood has a crease in it from forgetting to latch it down, not bad but noticable. Needs a 4bbl intake or original 1bbl carb put back on, has 4bbl with a 4 to 1 bbl plate to work on the stock intake but still runs strong, have pulled the front tires off the ground on a hill. KC lights on the front bumper are not wired but switch is instlled. The front blinker lights come on with the brake lights but it might have something to do with the wiring harness to tow with. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING LET ME KNOW, I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS AND TAKE PICS IF NEEDED.

The List: Best of proving grounds

Fri, May 22 2015

Proving grounds are where automakers and enthusiasts alike go to push their vehicles to their mechanical limits. The Rubicon Trail, located in the Sierra Nevada, is the ultimate off-road test, while Germany's Nurburgring is a grueling 13 mile road and track course.

New spy photos of the next Jeep Wrangler reveal a backup camera

Fri, Feb 24 2017

The new Jeep Wrangler JL is on the way, and we have new spy photos that give us our best look yet. The few vehicles seen in these photos all appear to be the four-door Wrangler Unlimited model, but we know the two-door and pick-up versions are coming as well. No word on when the new model, code-named JL, will debut, but don't expect to wait too much longer before Jeep finally finishes pulling off the wraps. While the Wrangler still is covered in test car camouflage, the "diaper" coverings have been removed from the side. But we still can't tell how the new removable roof and side panels will fit. One new nugget that we can spot is the spare-mounted backup camera. At least the Wrangler is keeping its rear-mounted spare. The overall shape hasn't changed much, but there would be pitchforks and fire in Toledo if Jeep strayed too far from the current design. Like the Porsche 911, the Wrangler's general design is permanently etched in stone. The grille is exposed on a few shots showing the new back-canted seven-slot setup that recalls the YJ generation of Wranglers. The windshield on the new model now appears to be fixed and tilted at more of an angle. Like we said, small changes.
