Jeep Wrangler R/T, Pro-Touring Lite

[aosborn]

Finally got some decent photos of my latest project. It is a 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ that has been gutted of the 4wd and fitted with modified C4 Corvette suspension. It is about 600lbs lighter than a stock TJ, is about 6" lower and wider. It is sitting on 17" x 11" rear wheels with 275/40 17 Kumho Exsta XS tires and 17" x 9.5" fronts with 245/40 17" tires. It has a full 4" of bump travel with the QA-1 adjustable coil-overs and rides very well. The gas tank is 4 1/2" off the ground at ride height, and has a reinforced skid plate for protection. Right now it is running a modified Jeep 2.5 liter engine and a custom 2wd 5 speed transmission. The stock transmission mount/skid pan was replaced with custom chassis X bracing that incorporates the new transmission mount as well as torsionally stiffens the chassis. The interior sports Sparco seats on custom mounts, custom hand brake for rally cornering, and a custom shifter. So far it has survived lapping day at the track, about 3000 road miles, and a river crossing at speed! Hope you enjoy it!
