I bought this thing a while back – I think it was originally built in 2014 by the Hensley brothers. Looks to be mostly .120 wall tube cage from what I've cut out or repaired over the last year and a half; sub frame is 2x4 rec tube. I bought it out of St. Louis about a year and a half ago. Was advertised with a 5.3, had a 4.8. Tranny was shot- had a cracked case, broken sprag and was misassembled; doubler linkage was bad, both pinion bearings in the rear third member (straight axle then) were out, drive flanges were nearly stripped out up front, etc. I scrapped the rear straight axle and third member and replaced with a fresh steering axle. Two of the Kings were bent /damaged and spring rates were way off.
I have been completely through this thing; about all that isn't new or redone are the chassis and links. Probably missing a few things below, hit me up with questions.
Was set up for a short guy, dropped the seat and moved back; I'm 6'2" 250lbs and am comfortable in the pit.
I am looking to either sell or trade. I would like to build another V8 LJ or maybe V8 a JK; just looking for something that I can take out more than a couple times a month and maybe drive between trail heads. Not a lot of trails worthy of this big bitch in Kansas.
