Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I'm selling it before I finished it. This project has been in the works for a long time and I really hate to see it go, but it just doesn't fit in my lifestyle at this point. When I started this, the plan was to build a dual purpose trail/street rig that I could use as a driver and take the family out to the trails. Long story short, I got a deal with Polaris to race RZR's, so I'm going to concentrate on that for a while. I'm afraid the Jeep would just sit in the shop gathering dust and depreciating. So, it's time for it to find a new home.
Frame is notched and plated for A/C compressor (included).
Front is a three-link with mechanical linkage to be safe on the street. I'm amazed at how well BTF designed this part of the build. I am really happy with how it turned out. 14" of front travel.
Rear is traditional 4-link.
This thing sits crazy low. It's sitting at full bump in all of the photos. Ride height should be about 5" higher than that.
The items listed below are all brand new, never been in the dirt (except the tub, which is in great condition).
Here's the parts list:
Blue Torch Goodies
BTF Labor Items
Rear Axle Setup (labor items)
Front Axle Setup (labor items)
Grand total - $32,877.25 - not including hundreds of dollars in shipping
I'm sure there are a handful of things I have left off. I will edit this post if I think of any of them.
Here's what I think it needs to be trail/road worthy:
No, I am not interested in parting it out, so please don't ask.
No trades.
I am also not interested in you telling me I paid too much for something on the list.
Price - $25,000. As you can see, that's almost $8000 less than I have spent on it and everything is still absolutely brand new.
