Jeep Wrangler R/T, Pro-Touring Lite

Damn you aosborn, I have been thinking about this for years. As silly as this may sound, you have made my dream Wrangler.
Do you have a build thread or any info on the front end conversion?
Awesome job.

Thanks for the comments, I had been thinking about it for years as well, and was just sure someone would beat me to the punch.

I have a few photos of it under construction, but not a sequence of how it was done. To be quite honest, this car was built as a proof-of-concept just to see how it would A) Perform. I knew it would be a super handling maching and wanted to see just how good it would be, and B) Appeal. I wanted to see what kind of response it received to possibly justify going into production of completed chassis to be for sale in the open market.

I have spent hundreds of hours developing this car, and have learned much. I have come to the conclusion as I get more miles on this thing, that I don't care if people like it or not. It is a blast to carve up a back county road glued to the corners with the top down, the windows out and the stereo up! It really is like a motorcycle with comfortable seats and storage, and to top it off, there is no other car out there like it. Isn't that what its all about?



Future plans for this car is for more power, but I am seriously leaning toward a turbo 4 cyl instead of a V8. Heck, a small displacement, heavily boosted engine was good enough for Group B rally cars back in the day, then it is good enough for me!

I already have on the drawing board, plans for the next one. It will again feature a low stance with full independent suspension, but this time with a high horsepower turbo engine, tons of suspension travel, gravel rally tires and AWD!
