    Retro Wrangler inspired JKU build

    Thanks for your interest. I finished fitting the cage. Other than that I'm a little behind due to some family commitments but I'll be back on the project hopefully this weekend. I found a donor for the bed and tailgate. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    There are a couple of answers to that. First, the people here are awesome and I wanted to share. Second, once I'm done I plan to drive this all over the southwest states, exploring ghost towns and back roads. If you have a suggestion for a better place to post I'd be happy to try that too...

    GoldiesGarage thanks for the questions. Yeah, the package deal from RPMExtreme is pretty complete. Basically just need to add exhaust and driveshafts. I agree that the extra room up front could be useful. Since the package comes with a new radiator, I'm going to wait until I have that mounted...

    The reason I need a new engine - low water crossing on county road in the hill country west of Austin. "Low" water wasn't low enough after the rains. I made it half way across the river.
