Leeds, Utah, United States
Project "Terra Crawler"
Interior: Started with a perfectly straight, rust free California body and frame and built the ultimate trail riding vehicle from there. - Custom roll cage that is tied into the frame in multiple locations with clearance to use a factory hard top or Bestop Soft Top (which is comes with). - Mastercraft Baja RS heated front seats that mount to the cage, along with a Mastercraft Rubicon bench in the rear also mounted to the roll cage. - Entire interior was LineX coated for easy clean out. - Autometer gauges, weather proof toggle switches Sony marine speakers and amp, CB and Icon HAM radio, and custom aluminum panels round out the custom interior in the front. - Behind the rear seat, just above the 13 gal fuel cell is a rack that can be used for an ARB Fridge (not included) or tie down storage for bags and tools. - Dual fire extinguisher mounts just behind the driver and passenger. - LED interior Dome Light - Working heater with foot dump and windshield defroster vents Exterior: Starting from front to back. - Custom "Rust" paint job. Yes, this is not actual rust, it is a paint by BASF that uses a metal based primer and a rusting agent is sprayed on then it is matte clear coated over. It not only looks like rust, the texture and feel makes it feel like rust. - Custom EVO front bumper powder coated Matte Black which houses a Warn 10k air cooled winch and two LED spot lights from Trucklite. - TruckLite custom mounted headlights - Custom rock sliders 100% tied to the frame. - Custom Front tubular fenders - Custom Rear body armor, fenders and rear corner guards make out of 1/4" steel plate.

Took a solid year to build it up before taking it out to play. The paint job started out in Black, which you can see from the images was featured in JP magazine, also taken on the Ultimate Adventure and a few other Moab and Rubicon events. It was an Army Green for a short period of time, then we went to the all rust that it is today. We love this vehicle and take good care of it mechanically, but that does not mean that we did not wheel it as it should be wheeled. It has been on its side a few times and rolled over once. Each time we sourced new body panels and parts and fixed back up as if we were taking it to a car show to win a trophy. The same mechanic that takes care of our race car takes care of this vehicle, which means after almost ever event we go to, we strip it down, clean it up and replace anything that did or could go wrong with it on our next trip. So all the heims, springs, shocks, drivetrain/driveline parts are in race ready condition. Exterior has a few trail marks on it, but nothing that does not make this vehicle the most looked at trail vehicle no matter where we take it from Moab to the Rubicon and everywhere in-between. The only reason we are considering selling it is to start a new project. This is by far the longest I have ever owned or kept a vehicle, and that is saying a lot as I have owned more vehicles in my life than I have had birthdays (and I'm almost 42). We are not in desperate needs to sell this, so please do not low ball me. If we end up keeping it, I'm fine with that. I believe there is a buyer out there that will appreciate all the hard work and design that has been put into this vehicle that will pay what is the right price for uniqueness as well as a trail rig that is just this side of unstoppable no matter what trail you point it at. Any questions, please feel free to ask. |

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup
Wed, Mar 18 2015The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
Jeep recalling 75,000 Cherokees over air-conditioning lines
Tue, Oct 27 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued a recall for an estimated 75,364 examples of the Jeep Cherokee in the United States. The problem stems from an air-conditioning line, which may have been installed to close to the exhaust manifold. "Under certain operating conditions," says FCA in the statement below, "this may pose a fire risk." Thus far, however, the company says it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents." The owners of those 75k Jeeps (as well as another 18,000+ in other markets) can expect to hear from their local dealers to have the problem rectified. However the manufacturer also advises owners to watch out for indicators like air-conditioning loss or a dashboard warning light and contact their dealers if necessary. Related Video: Statement: Air-conditioning System October 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 75,364 U.S.-market SUVs to inspect and replace, as required, their air-conditioning lines, as required. FCA US launched an investigation after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received two customer complaints involving smoke and fire. The Company discovered air-conditioning lines on some vehicles may have been installed in close proximity to their engines' exhaust manifolds; under certain operating conditions, this may pose a fire risk. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The recall is limited to certain 2015 Jeep Cherokees. Additional vehicles are affected in other markets. They include an estimated 7,571 in Canada; 4,018 in Mexico; and 6,942 outside the outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which FCA US will provide free of charge. . Customers who observe air-conditioning loss or any other concern, such as a dashboard warning light, should contact their dealers. Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
