    wow. nice jeep!

    the power lines are always a great place for hillclimbs. To bad Ohio is ______

    All that torque!

    Got any more details on the drivetrain?

    It brings back memories of a ' 79 Cj-5 w/304 me and my father restored. but I never thought of putting a Detroit in it.

    have fun,

    Hey! That pic looks like it was taken at Disney, Ok! I go off-roading there with my Jeep quite often.

    Cool Jeep, man.

    Let me know next time you go. I'm planning on being there the 28th of this month, as long as the weather isn't too bad.

    I've got a 93 Jeep ZJ, 5.2L V8, 4.5" lift, 33x13.50 Super Swampers, and pretty much otherwise stock. I'm really happy with how it performs.

    Here's a pic of my Jeep hitting the mud pit at D-Day adventure park in Seneca, MO:

    Hey Bigin

    I have been working on Detroit Diesel powered equipment for 34 years, but yours looks like the most fun
    Nice build.

    the best part of it for me was that the hummer and the new dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 barely made it up the hill on their own ... the chevy I was pulling broke his transfer case trying to get up...they tried winching him but he just kept pulling them toward the edge... so I said I'll try to get him closer for you guys.... was pulling him ok so I just kept going till he was at the top....... I love this diesel
