I finished this Jeep 2 years ago and have used it mainly during hunting season since and a few camping trips. Very low miles on restore. I have a lot of time in this Jeep as I started building it at the axles. Everything was new when it was built. Everything is either new or rebuilt to new. I will list what it has starting from the ground up. 

-Dana 44 scout II rear axle with Yukon 5.38 ring and pinion, ARB air locker, moser axle shafts and disc brake conversion. (All parts were new)
-Dana 44 Chevy front axle narrowed to match scout rear end, parts mike inner knuckles aligned and welded. No sleeves or welded joints in the tube like most people do. Yukon 5.38 ring and pinion, ARB air locker, moser chromoly axle shafts, ford hub assembly for 5 lug with disc brakes, warn premium hubs, hi steer steering arms, cross over steering. (all parts were new)
-Rubicon Express spring over springs front and rear custom anti wrap bar on rear axle 
-Custom shackle reversal on front end
-reinforced and boxed frame 
-drive train industries drive lines 
-Dana 20 transfer case 
-T18 4 speed transmission

-body is rust free and was a straight body so no bondo. linex bed liner on underside, inside of tub and in engine compartment. Grill, windshield frame, dash is powder coated gloss black, fenders hood and tail gate have a powder coat primer then paint and clear coat. The rest of the body is Pontiac red with a ton of clear coat so one could wet sand and buff it out if needed.

-comes with soft top pictured, bikini top, and half soft doors. will also include what ever misc spare parts I have laying around

I am sure I missed some things so feel free to ask questions. Everyone that drives this jeep can't believe how solid it is with no rattles or squeaks. It drives extremely well for what it is. I have drove it on the interstate and it handles great at speed. No death wobble or vibration. Like I said this was not a junk yard build everything was new when built and I have most receipts to back it up.

Autoblog Subcompact Crossover Comparison | Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, Jeep Renegade, Kia Soul

Tue, Oct 15 2019

LAKE LEELANAU, Mich. — Consumers, and consequently automakers, are increasingly moving away from sedans and into crossovers as drivers seek more space and utility on roads heavily populated by larger and taller vehicles. While the various crossover segments are dominated by bigger, more expensive, family-oriented vehicles, those at the very bottom of the size and price ladder are a little different. The diverse selection of subcompact crossovers are targeting an equally diverse selection of buyers who need something sized to fit into their urban and suburban driving lives — not to mention their budgets. Some sort of active, outdoorsy lifestyle is almost always intended. Enough of these small crossovers have popped up that we thought it high time to pick some popular competitors — the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, Jeep Renegade and Kia Soul — and pit them against one another in a four-way comparison test. We tried to spec them out as closely as we could in terms of price, with the Jeep standing out as the sole outlier with a price over $30,000. Following in the footsteps of our midsize pickup comparison test, we drove up to Michigan's pinky, where weÂ’d eat, sleep, and breathe these four crossovers to figure out which came out on top based on our 100-point ranking of objective and subjective metrics. Autoblog Subcompact Crossover Comparison View 36 Photos Certainly, there are more choices available than this four (a Subaru Crosstrek in particular was not available at the time of our test), but we think the HR-V, Kona, Renegade and Soul are a representatively diverse collection of popular choices. Without further ado, here are the results of our test, starting with fourth place. Related: Autoblog's Midsize Pickup Truck Comparison Test Fourth place: 2019 Honda HR-V AWD Touring – 72.2 points The Honda HR-V is the second oldest vehicle in this comparative set behind the Jeep Renegade. We first tested it in April 2015. More so than its Jeep counterpart, the Honda feels its age. ItÂ’s dated inside and out, the infotainment tech is in dire need of an update (yes, even though it was actually recently updated), and the CVT feels at least a generation behind most others currently available. And that powertrain is the biggest issue that held the HR-V back from a better score in our comparison. Of the four vehicles, it has the least power, which makes the CVT even more of a nuisance.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
