Woodbridge, New Jersey, United States
Feel free to email: raylenermmenning@turbonutter.com .
A great example of a unique, well thought out, professional rebuild of an Iconic American Classic. This one off
incredible jeep was built utilizing the “K.I.S.S.” theory (“Keep It Strong and Simple”).
The power plant chosen for this project is the venerable Small Block Chevy V8. The NEW 355 CI Engine with vortec
heads produces 375 Ft. Lb. of torque. Built by The Jasper Performance Division of Jasper Engines, it features a 3
Year / 100,000 Mile Transferable Warranty. Just tuned with a 600 CFM Edelbrock Performance Carburetor. It features
a Dual Plane Aluminum Intake Manifold for increased torque!
The Ignition System utilized is the MSD 6-AL. An Optima Deep Cycle Red Top Battery was used as it is ideal for
trucks with winches and provides ultimate starting and deep cycle power to keep you from getting
stranded. A compact High Torque starter fits in nicely and works great.
The Exhaust Features Coated Hooker Headers with true dual custom bent and welded pipes all the way back.
Power is transferred through a TurboHydramatic 400 Transmission with a B&M Ratchet Shifter. This is mated to a New
Process 205 Transfer Case used to turn a 14 Bolt GM Corporate Military Rear Axle w/ 4.88 Gears and a Locking
Differential. The Front Axle is a Dana 44 Posi Tract with Manual Locking Hubs and an ARB high tensile nodular iron
Differential Cover, w/
Magnetic Drain Plug and Magnetic Dipstick to fill and check oil.
Front Brakes are massive Chevy Truck disks w/ vented rotors. Rear brakes are massive drums common to many 1-Ton
Trucks. All Brake Lines done with Stainless Steel Line. The HydroBoost Brake Booster system provides incredible
stopping power.
All Major Drivetrain components were chosen for Strength, Reliability, Availability, and Simple Maintenance without
ridiculous future expense!
The Professionally Built Custom Crafted Chassis utilizes stock GM truck components with the original Jeep frame cut
and notched in. Gussets and strengtheners were also used providing Much More Strength and Rigidity than a 1-Ton
truck. Stainless Steel and Grade 8 Fasteners used throughout. No Lift Kit was used or needed for this Jeep to sit
over 14” Higher than a stock Wrangler. Wheels are 8 Lug, 16.5” Diameter x 12” Wide. Tires are 38” High
Super Swamper TSL’s. Front and Rear Bumpers were Custom Fabricated using ¼” thick box steel. A 12,000 LB Winch
was incorporated into the design of the Front Bumper w/ a Stinger Winch Guard and Auxiliary LED Light Bar. The Rear
Bumper is made with a Receiver Hitch for Accessories and Towing.
Fabricating the Tilt Front End required 2 Jeep Hoods and the front grill to be spliced together, addressing the
stretched wheelbase. Front Fenders were Hand Crafted from aluminum and the flat tops were well thought out for
their utility and strength.
What sets this Jeep apart from other custom builds is that it still retains it’s Factory Original Paint on the
Body and Half Doors (included with sale). Rare Top Quality glass slider windows are included with the half doors.
No Rust & No Accident Damage EVER!
The Interior is also Factory Original and in Excellent Condition at almost 30 years old! The Upholstery, Dash, &
Carpet are in Amazing Shape! Custom Weatherproof Floor Mats are included and fit nicely. Premium Auto Meter
Tachometer and Speedometer Gauges w/ Carbon Fiber Faces were Neatly installed in the Original Dash. All other
Gauges are Original Jeep and operate well! Heater and Blower work extremely well. Audio System uses a JVC Head Unit
w/ Dual 4” Coaxial speakers in the overhead sound bar and 6”x 9” three way speakers mounted in movable
speaker enclosures with plenty of extra speaker wire. The rear speakers were made to be placed on
the outer rear fenders of the Jeep for surround sound at campfires and gatherings.
Comes with Complete fold-able Soft Top Assembly and a tan soft top.
A Rare Combination of Simplicity and Drive-ability not found in most other modified Jeeps. It will drive easily
over sand, climb up hills, and keep up with traffic on the highway. The stretched and widened wheelbase truly
delivers a better ride than a stock Wrangler. Equally at Home, at Work, On Road, or Off Road with No Modern
Electronic modules to get you stranded in this Jeep.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
Watch this 9-year-old drive Jeep Wrangler off-road [w/poll]
Wed, 28 May 2014This nine-year-old girl might be better at rock crawling than some people twice her age. But is it worth putting her in danger to do it? According to her father on the Jeep Experience Facebook page, her name is Faith, and she has been offroading with her family since she was two. At nine years old, she's now driving her dad's Jeep over the rocks by herself.
As you can see she's belted in and under her father's direct supervision and guidance. She shows immense confidence for someone her age and follows her dad's instructions on exactly what to do. Although, this could still be a very dangerous situation if something went wrong.
Previously, we saw a similar video with a six-year-old on a motorcycle driving on public roads through the desert. Voters decided by only a six-point margin that the adult should be in trouble for letting the kid ride the bike. Here, we have a slightly older child driving a vehicle off road. Where do you fall in this case? Is it still wrong to hand over control to a child? Let us know in the poll below and scroll down to watch the video.
Jeep gives a trio of customs an encore showing at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014While Jeep certainly had some new customs on display at this year's SEMA show, it wasn't afraid to recycle a few that people might have missed from earlier this year. The maker of many beloved off-roaders already displayed the Jeep Cherokee Dakar, Maximum Performance Wrangler and Wrangler Mojo at the 2014 Easter Safari, but they all made it to SEMA for an encore.
Based around the Trailhawk, the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) imagines an even more off-road-capable version of the crossover. The concept wears a mix of Silver Steel Stain paint with Flame Red graphics and rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tires. To back up the rugged look, the Dakar is fitted with rock rails and skid plates protecting the oil pan, front suspension, fuel tank and other underbody parts. It also sports prototype parts from Jeep Performance Parts, including a lift kit and fender flares.
The Wrangler is one of the paragons of off-roading, and as the name suggests, the Maximum Performance Wrangler concept is meant to be the ultimate example of what it can do. The custom features locking Dana 60 axles front and rear, a 4:1 Rock-Trac transfer case, prototype 4-inch lift kit and 37-inch Mud Terrain tires over beadlock wheels. To stay on the trails well into the night, a bar of LEDs is mounted above the windshield. And finally, the Mopar Blue exterior kind of makes the vehicle look like the world's toughest blueberry.
