Vortec-Powered Custom Jeep

It is powered by a 6.0-liter V8 with performance modifications and an uprated cooling system, and the driveline is completed by a TCI 4L80E four-speed automatic, an Atlas transfer case, and upgraded axles. The truck rides on a Teraflex long-arm lift kit and Rock Monster beadlock wheels with 40″ Mickey Thompson tires, and further equipment includes a Warn front winch, a black removable hardtop, high-clearance fenders, blue-finished bumpers, Holley Sniper EFI, and off-road lighting. Cab appointments consist of heated bucket seats, a Bluetooth audio receiver, a heater, and a roll bar. Dubbed “CJK8”, the build was covered in an edition of 4BY4 Tech.

The body was recently finished in white, and it has a black removable hardtop with Freedom-style panels as well as a bikini-style soft top, removable half doors with soft uppers, and a steel CJ-specification hood, grille, and tailgate. Other reported equipment includes removable aluminum fenders, removable rear mud flaps, Baja Designs lighting, HID headlights, a receiver hitch, a Warn front winch, and a narrowed Warn rear bumper.

The JK Wrangler chassis accommodates a Teraflex long-arm system with six-inch lift springs, adjustable Fox internal bypass shocks, Fox bump stops, forged track bars, and torsion sway bars.

Rock Monster beadlock wheels are mounted with near-new 40×13.50″ Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.

The cab features heated and reclining Mastercraft bucket seats with under-seat storage compartments along with four-point harnesses and a roll cage that also serves as a compressed air reservoir. A switch panel is found ahead of the transmission and transfer case selectors, and further details include a Tuffy locking center console, an overhead CB radio, a Maradyne heater, and a Bluetooth receiver linked to Alpine speakers.
