That's awesome man, looking forward to seeing that thing in action.

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.

So not much custom work is what you are saying, still nice though

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.

My little brother says he will be there this time with his TJ. He also mentioned that the toyota and wrangler that we were creek wheeling with a few weekends ago were also coming. We will see if it actually happens. He's all talk.
But myself and Pat with the lifted Grand Cherokee will be there for sure.

Looks like we'll have a big group for Saturday. I know on Sunday it's at least me, tim and another one of my friends... plus hopefully Jacob
It looks like uhaul will rent me a full trailer with the XK as the tow vehicle. If I don't close on the house, I'm thinking I'll grab the trailer friday morning, head to your place and then come back here and pickup the wife before heading to RC. I'm going to do my best to be there, so right now I even have a contingency plan
Is anyone else planning on camping?
