Time for an update on the ol jeep " nothin serious" it's beat around the trails of the northeast for 6 years , gonna lower suspension, add propane, rear seat, new motor mounts, second power steering pump instead of electric over hydraulic rear steer, and new cage

I took 4 speed out and put c6 in for my wife and step son, they always had a hard time grinding gears on hills...should be more user friendly, I also have a set of 42 tsl's I may put on instead of the 44 boggers, I will post pics along the way of the rebuild, this rig has doubled as my log skidder / utility rig as well so it will have high lift jack and tool box storage as well
 
My tentative plan is to pull the ac delete pulley off and add a pump there, but I haven't evolved that plan any further yet, the electric over hyd. Works fine but it draws a ton of juice and I want to alleviate the charging system
 
No awesome progressions but a lot of needed upgrades so far , motor and c6 are back in with new motor mounts, relocated battery into the engine bay so the rear seat can go back in, mounted and plumbed the propane and thats about it under the hood, removed fuel cell and battery from back and will now start mounting rear CJ seat and two propane tanks

The little stuff takes time but hopefully it's back on the trail for the RCQ at raush creek next weekend
 

The propane makes this motor run 100% better and the c6 makes it crawl and and super simple to operate, I should have ,added these changes years ago cuz it's like a whole new rig, I plan to build a new cage yet maybe 4" lower as well makin it a total of 10" lower than its previous state
