So, that must be a '59 quadrunner in the back?
The FC-170 Forward control those things are cool I too would like to have one. I have that on my to build before I die list.
Man, that is too cool, I've never seen one before, was it a military only vehicle?

Fifthpro, where the hell did you find that thing? Put it down before someone gets their eye put out!
Right after that guy built that "thing" he prolly called all of his friends and family out to see it like it was the best thing ever. LOL. Sweet fab work on the hood can barely see the welds.
i've seen rigid choppers but never a jeep i bet that thing rides like a cadilac
oh and i love the pitman arm drop

Hate to see how it does on a RTI ramp...might get a repeat of the hummer. It IS bigger than mine though.....
I don't think it needs a snorkle either...

JonB, glad you got over here. Do you have any more pics of the CJ? This forum sure has flooded with CJ's as of late.
