I'm not sure I can pull together a build thread but can give you a few of the details.Originally Posted by criket
It's a complete custom build using a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ body/frame. Original engine/trans/transfer case and axles/suspension were all ripped out. Under the hood is a Chevy 6.0 Liter out of an 01 chevy 2500 bolted up to a 4l60e transmission and NP231c Transfer Case from a S10 blazer. The transmission and transfer case ware built to withstand the power of the enigne. The transfer case received a slip yoke elimintaor kit and custom rear drive shaft. He decided not to use the 4l80e normally found bolted to the 6.0 liter to save on weight and so he could still use the NP231c transfer case. Up front is a Dana 60 spooled with 5.13 gears and custom lift/suspension with 18" fox coilovers. The rear is a GM 14 bolt open diff with 5.13 gears and leafs assisted by 10" coilovers.

You mean 4L80E. The 1500s had 60s
The entire Jeep is custom work. The only thing stock on it is the frame and the body. He fabbed up the motor mounts for the 6.0 liter engine as well as a custom transmission crossmember for the transmission and transfer case. Converted the rear end to leafs/coilover suspension and rebuilt the GM 14 bolt axle and had a custom rear drive shaft made. The entire front suspension was totally ripped out and built from the ground up around a dana 60 axle (long arm suspension) with a new front drive shaft and custom lenght coilovers. The lift wasnt purchased as a kit that you bolt on like our XK's. This took months and months of building. Just the engine swap alone makes this a custom build.
Sorry about the mix up. I updated the original post.

That 6.0 liter is pushing out some serious HP/TQ! Wait til you hear it!
Well I'm sure he will still have a blast. We can watch him do all the crazy hill climbs. Ill follow him down a few black trails but nothing crazy.
