Well i had two options! Option 1- Spend 2/3rds of my budget on upgrading the 90, to get it on 37's and a V8 OR Option 2- Buy this project.

Having listened to the collective "Jibba Jabba" around several camp fires, it became evident that 2 things were key for my next Project;

1- No girly axles! So you Jeepers better be right with these Dana60's

2- An engine that didnt consume heating oil and sound like a tin being shaken with ballbearings in. I hope i get, at least 35 to the gallon outta this V8!

It needs a few tweeks, things i want to change. But gotta say a fine job has been done on this truck, so far. Getting a truck to this point, is at least 2 years steady work.

I'll set up a Workshop thread when the "Big Red" is sat on the drive.

Yes and i do blame Jez for sniffing this out. Oh and JJ and KingCJ....In fact all ya'll

KOV 13 methinks? "Team Birty Dastards"

Well done...enjoy...

As a new birty was a little surprised to find a green badge at breakout
especially in the hands of such a skilled trials setter out - who didn't flinch even with a TJ balanced over his head, at gate 5, with a completely inept drive at the wheel
lovely truck and I'm sue the lights can be changed

Well Candy my old mucker you've got a cracking Jeep there, but very shiny I must say. No doubt after getting it dirty you'll be washing it with nappies and tucking it in at night

Proper nice truck mate

Nothing wrong with that

Warthog · « **Reply #15 on:** April 29, 2012, 10:29:47 AM »

Tis rather shiny

DO you think it'll look better in a nice Green Oval shade of green

Or maybe matt black? Eh BD!

wildwood · « **Reply #16 on:** April 29, 2012, 11:24:25 AM »

A rather nice green I found and bookmarked about 2 years ago..... have yet to push the button on tho.....

Tis still shiny tho...... but in a manly M715 Nukizer sort of way

So this one got a proper engine then? None of that chip fat stuff.

wildwood · « **Reply #22 on:** April 29, 2012, 12:55:28 PM »

Has only 4 cylinders ...............

but beside it another 4 cylinders in a manly V formation

headers down to a cherry bomb and 1 pipe to rear....tis quiet enough for the road but at anger throttle level you'll hear it across a field....... tis very nice......

Asylum · « **Reply #23 on:** April 29, 2012, 10:51:29 PM »

All I'm gonna say is..............its about time!!!!

Nice truck hog but as I'm an old sentimental bugger it will be sad to see the good old 90 go
