New xenon 6" flares, you can see the old ones were a bit narrow for the tires and also starting to fade.
One of the bar speakers blew when I got it so I replaced both with 6.5" polk and replaced the 4x6" fronts with 5.25" round, also polk. The stereo (not the one pictured) is a clarion with blue tooth, usb and all that fancy stuff.
All four shocks are new bilsteins and gave it a fresh alignment after.
The pics of the engine bay were taken after the swap was completed and unfortunately not as clean anymore, though it's not disgusting and just has some road dirt typical of daily driving. Snow has been on the ground here for just over a week and that's the only winter it's seen since I've had it. It'll be off the road by Monday when I get my new winter rat registered and all that good stuff.
The B&M hammer shifter in the pics was in there when I got it and the cable snapped the second time I drove it. Replaced the cable and it was no good either so ended up replacing with a Lokar linkage operated one. I'll get pics of that up when I make the console look pretty (should be by next weekend), unless you're not real concerned with that then I'll post pics of it as is.
It has a soft top which I've never put on that'll be included.
4-wheel disc, 3.73's and posi on a ford 8.8 rear swap.
Jim Brink did the swap and still runs another LSX Jeep.
There is a scratch on the corner of the hardtop and one on the passenger door which are visible in the pics. Otherwise the paint and body are in great shape for being nearly 12 years old. The engine/trans are out of a 2004 Escalade (about 30K on them now), not real sure about the manifold and accessories though.
I'll see what I can do about a vid but all I've got is a cheap point and shoot camera.

I'll probably be posting it on the jeep forum this time around...
I've had it stored all winter but the snow is leaving and it's going to warm up soon. Going to do a couple little touch ups and clean it again when the weather hits 50's. But if someone wants it, it's still up for grabs. Don't be afraid to make a serious offer.

Does this still have 4 wheel drive? why box it up for the winter, wouldn't this be like the BEST winter vehicle?
Also what kind of mpg do you get in this? Very interesting jeep!
I'm guessing it's pretty quick? sounds mean?

The trans is a 4L60E, the engine/trans were pulled together. Transfer case is the original with a H/D upgrade chain. If you're looking to do any super serious off-roading I'd probably swap it for something stronger but it works fine for regular driving and occasional mud/snow. But then again, if you're doing serious off-roading I don't know why you'd want such a nice jeep to start with. Plenty of beater jeeps out there to give further beatings.
Still has working 4X4, I took it off the road because I didn't want it getting salted up since it's never seen salt before and I knew I was going to sell it.
It gets about 14-15mpg which is pretty standard for jeeps even with the stock drivetrain.
It's very quick for what it is. Sound is rather mellow, didn't want it super loud, they're already loud enough with the wind noise (squares aren't exactly aerodynamic).
Yes it's the same one that was on here a while ago. I only drove it for around 5 months. I have a really terrible problem keeping vehicles, I just get bored quick and move on. I'm actually going to buy my 17th vehicle next week (I'm 24). This time I'm going for something cheap and practical (Saturn SC2, blah). Have too much $$ tied up in vehicles to be a poor college student!
Weather has been terrible here so I haven't got around to cleaning it and doing my final touch ups.

I looked into converting it to a six speed since I've got a T56 kicking around but from what I read they don't hold clutches very well and the adapter has to be custom made, is pricey and not easily done. Some people have got away with using the factory manual from the jeep but they don't hold much power. They tend to break quickly behind a V8.

Whipped up something for the console and installed a digital gear indicator. Had to do some adjustments to the shifter but it's all back together and good to go. Forgot to bring my camera with me where I'm storing it to get video so just took a couple quick shots with the phone. Will get video up by end of week.
