sorry, no real pics of the build up, i cant find them on my computer, when i find some, i'll post them
anyways, butch has always had a truck, but was currently without, but he did have 2 jeeps, and didn't want to get rid of one. he also wanted a trail rig that he could daily drive with no worries. so he just decided to take all his wants and needs and combine them....
so the tj was chopped in half, frame extended 2 feet, a set of 60's tossed under, the tub was shortened 36'', 3 link front, 4 link rear, foa coil overs all around mounted to trailing arms in teh rear with a set of fox 2.0's mounted out back filling up room till he can afford the triple bypasses it was made for. alot of tube and plate work thrown in for good measure, a bed made to resemble an old willys pickup with some butch and joey flare aded for good measure, a built 5.0l mated to a c6 with a reverse manual valve body and a twin sticked 205. the factory seats recovered in black with harley orange piping and stitching, alot of aluminum accents, and a whole bunch of little detail work that will make anyone go off in the their pants upon closer inspection. this thing is absolutely ridiculous.
ride height is still not properly set, as the correct springs have not arrived yet. it will sit 3-4 inches higher, and will eventually be riding on 40's as opposed to the 37's it is now on as money allows.
