1600 pounds? Holy hell that thing is going to be quick! I'd love to swap an LS into my CJ7.

Loving this build. What do you plan to do to tuck the rear tires in? I'm guessing you will narrown the rear axle. Will you run fender flares or try to get it all inside the tin?

I have another set of back wheels for it, but everyone says they love it like it is. I will most likely put drag radials on the other set

Great build man, and congrats on the new company. Small business is the steady pulse of America. What kind of company is it? Just getting mine started. Realized I couldn't afford my Aventador on a Sys Admin salary...lol.

The OD green looks awesome . Im looking to do something similar with a 56 ****** overland wagon/delivery . I have a weird thing for roll bars though.
Very nice build!
