Here it is Ebay. I am forced to sell my jeep project due to unexpected lose of job. This is an almost finished jeep projectof mine an whoever wins the bid will have to finish it. I will try to describe to the best of my Knowledge an be very specific. I bought this jeep from an elderly lady last year who had just lost her son. He was building this jeep before he lost his life. The man who had started this project cut no corners with this jeep. Everything he had done was right an top notch. When I purchased the jeep it already had a new fiberglass body tub, a like new sealed an boxed frame, rebuilt front an rear differentials, complete new Skyjackerliftan rancho suspension, arebuilt Chevrolet Turbo 350 transmission, a rebuilt Dana Transfer case an drivelines. All the under dash wiring was done an so was the tilt wheel steering column. It came with 38.5x12x15in tires,[the tires hold air but only good for off roading cause of dry cracks].Since I purchased the jeep I had a shop open up the engine, transmission, transfer case, an front an rear differentials to make sure everything was new as I was told upon purchase. Everything checked out. Unfortunetly I didn't get build paperwork for engine, transmission, t-case, an differentials when I purchased the jeep cause the lady didn't know where her son had them filed. So I don't know what size crank an cam or the gearing on the differentials. The shop said all internals where new with 0 miles on them. The Engine is a #3970010GM 350 4 bolt main, it has TRW .030 pistons, all internals are new, cam, crank, bearings, etc. The heads are new World heads with roller rockers.The heads alone are worth $1500. Engine has MSD ignition, edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley Pro injection throttle body an Wrapped Hooker Headers. I have spent thousands of $ buying all new parts for this jeep. All new steel fenders, front bumper, hood, window frame, grill. New fender flares, all lights an light assemblies are new. Newer style full roll cage,[ rhino lined]. New dash done in bed liner, reconditioned gauges, all new glove box an door, grab handle, all warning lights are new, mirrors are new along with all new stainless hardware.

New leather seats, all new glass throughout. New steering box an shaft,[ needs finishing install]. New master cylinder, new radiator.New hatch handle w/keys, top was done in black bed liner. Undercarriage of jeep was sealed in por 15 an bed liner. I was building this jeep for driving around town an to concur any off roading.
Things that still need to be done, I have all new door rubber an seals an two sets of doors but they need work to be done. It needs exhaust to be finished, all front wiring to lights an engine needs to be done, { I don't have wiring for engine, front lights, or throttle body}. Needs seat belts, Needs shift linkage for trans an transfer case, an 4wd shifter. Needs power steering pump, alternater, needs all hoses, an some brake lines finished.The paint was done a year ago but unfortunetly some of the clear coat has come off, an it has acquired some scratch's being pushed in an out of my garage. This jeep is 97% done an ready to be driven. Unfortunetly I wont be able to finish.My reserve will be set low but I cant afford to just give it away so please no insulting offers. There is so many thousands of $ into this jeep an I know ill take a loss. I will have my jeep listed locally also an reserve the right to end auction if sold locally.
