i have no idea why i bought this, but its sweet,
it showed up on my social media for dirt cheap, after my friends were off work we were off to get it,

later on that night we showed up and did a quick exchange, it was dark out and hadnt even seen it in the day light.

currently its on 35" boggers, the rear are cut and is set up for mud racing
slightly modified, has a rollerized  small block chevy 350 bored .010 with arp studs. rebuilt turbo 350 with high stall torque converter 
b&m megashifter, twin stick 205 transfercase, radius arm links front and rear, down travel limited to zero by limit straps,

locked dana 44  full width 4.88 gears , over knuckle steering,  locked 14 bolt rear 4.88 gears, rear mounted radiator and a roll cage


it is FAST, i don't doubt i can get the front tires off the ground 

my plans are to run it this winter, remove the limit straps, get longer shocks and let the suspenion get a work out.
i will be putting 39.5" super swampers on it to do some snow wheeling (yes... a tracker on 39.5" tires :nutherround:  may have to move the flares a bit but nothing major)

in the summer i will change the shocks back out and reinstall the limit straps and boggers 
there are a few mud races held around the area here that i would like to attend

more pictures to follow

how long is the rear driveshaft?

 
its inbetween an tj drive shaftshaft an xj driveshaft in length if accuracy counts haha

i crawled under the thing in the daylight today and the forsale add wasnt totally true........it does not have a twin stick 205....... it has a northwest fab 203/205 doubler!!!!!!!!
slightly dissapointed that it wasnt a split 205, but EXTREMELY excited about the doubler,

my buddy decided to gift me the northwest fab tripple shifter toomplete it and make it go front wheel drive or rear wheel drive

Cool low buck rig with some not-so-low buck parts.

 

I used to mud race when I was younger, but not in a dedicated rig.  Ran my K5 Blazer, with a 350 for a while, and later a 454.  Tough to be competitive in a daily driver, but I won my class on occasions.

 

A hood and some type of cover over the rear would be nice before mud racing.  And hopefully there are windows in those doors haha.  HP, big tires,  and wheel speed work in the mud.  I never would have considered a doubler, I thought the standard low range in the 205 was enough reduction.
