This is my '88 XJ 4x4. It has a
4.0, AW-4 auto, and 3.54 gears. Options include A/C, tilt wheel, and
cruise. Mods include 3" Rough Country lift, Lowrance Globalmap
100 GPS, Dodge rear spring packs, 4 wheel disk brakes, adjustable on
the fly proportioning valve, and other little gadgets. The '88 is
now retired, after having served me between 120 and 300 miles a day
(depending on whether I worked or not) for a year, then getting
abused off road. The body stayed pretty straight until I laid it
over on its side one night, which required a new door and fender. |

My '94 XJ 4x2. It originally had
a 4.0 HO and AW-4 auto. It was pretty stripped down, only having a
tilt wheel, A/C, and nice tinted windows. I bought it as a
rebuildable wreck, intending for it to be my daily driver. That was
before I picked up my '88. It became a part's rig which kept my '88
going, and made me some money on the side. |

'86
Grand Wagoneer. Original equipment was: 360 V-8, 727 Automatic,
NP-208 transfer case, Dana 44 front axle and AMC 20 rear. Options
included A/C, tilt wheel, power windows, power locks, tilt wheel,
cruise control, power leather seats, and power mirrors. Click for

'81
Toyota SR-5 4x4 Pickup. This truck was kept almost bone stock the
whole time I owned it. I bought it with a wood bed (as most Toyotas
in New England come.) The only options it had were a tilt wheel and
power brakes. The only modifications I performed were a frame bob,
new bed, frame repair which included a redesigned crossmember and
shock mounts, and long travel shocks. I trimmed the lower front
portion off the front fenders and made a custom bumper and brush
guard. I had room for 33" Kelly Wild Spirit tires. The pictures
are out of order...it was right after I swamped the Toy that I made
the custom snorkel. You, too, can have one for $15! |

'87
Suzuki Samurai. It came to me bone stock in need of a paint job. As
you can see, the paint job turned out great. unfortunately, my
Samurai wound up shiny side down a couple of times. Within a few
days of the paint job, I had the Samurai lifted with a spring over
lift, and custom brush guard and front bumper. I ran this Samurai
with the same 33" Kelly tires that I later put on my Toyota. I
also installed a GRS-I transfer case gear kit. |

My 1985 Jeep CJ-7.
It had a 258, T-5, and tilt wheel. It was a near basket case when I
got it. The transmission was out of it, and the Model 20 rear axle
ate the pinion gear. I hunted down a Scout II with the help of a
friend, and installed the Dana 44 in the rear of my CJ. The body tub
was in need of some serious help, with the floors being almost nonexistent.
After installing the Dana 44, I bolted on extended shackles and a
set of 33" Kelly Wild Spirit tires. This was the first vehicle
I used those tires on. They did get passed around a lot though! |
