I think I read Shannon’s red Jeep/buggy from top truck had a 10 bolt in the front.
Apparently there are a couple I was merging together. First was Rick Pewe’s which I guess inspired another one by Sebastian Varas in Chile.
Classic Willys Builds - The Past Spawns Modern Jeeps
We’ve featured plenty of custom 4x4s in these pages, and a lot of them are Jeeps. But here are three rigs that will make your head turn, and hopefully for all owww.motortrend.com
I’ve never met either gentlemen but cool looking Willys/Ford GPWs and part of the culture that inspired my jeep hobby.
You mean Pinky? Yes it did. It has a Spidertrax 9" in it now.I think I read Shannon’s red Jeep/buggy from top truck had a 10 bolt in the front.
Always partial to this jeep. But then again I'm biased
Didn't this jeep run the klune underdrive with a 4cyl and the warn/black diamond bolt on coilover suspension? I remember seeing it compete in cedar city 2001ish?Yeah probably it... I was thinking a red body with yellow tube work and wheels or vice versa for some reason.
Yeah I think so. Especially having the Warn XCL I think it was calledDidn't this jeep run the klune underdrive with a 4cyl and the warn/black diamond bolt on coilover suspension? I remember seeing it compete in cedar city 2001ish?
Yes. Tri county gearDidn't this jeep run the klune underdrive with a 4cyl and the warn/black diamond bolt on coilover suspension? I remember seeing it compete in cedar city 2001ish?
I was in college back then with my CJ7 on 35" boggers and I thought Sam Patton's Jeep was the most INCREDIBLE rig I had ever seen. I remember going to Tellico and watching Chris Durham's CJ10 and thinking those guys were gods. I also ate ramen for a month so I could afford to put a shackle reversal on my Jeep.We must have been buying the same magazines.
I think the first 2 I bought were the ttc where Sam Patton won and the petersons with the jeep I think you're talking about on the cover. I remember a bright orange tube chassis, red body with flames and big coil overs. I dug a Pic of that jeep up a little while ago, but I don't feel like doing it again
Edit: nevermind, I guess I saved it to my phone.
you know i would have been at that comp also holy chit the local landcruisr group asked for some help with the event and drove over from cali.. one of the coolest rigs i saw there was walker evens 4 link front end with the links going forward under the front winch and not back to the tcase.Didn't this jeep run the klune underdrive with a 4cyl and the warn/black diamond bolt on coilover suspension?

Mostly all lap belts too😂, Spotters hanging off the vehicles and the crowds all over the course. Safety 3rd back thennot a helmet in sight
for sure and cutting edge was head sets, they were the helmets of the day. hahahaMostly all lap belts too😂, Spotters hanging off the vehicles and the crowds all over the course. Safety 3rd back then
The early '00s were a crazy time, the old site was so active, with lots of cool things going on.
White Knight was a big fav of mine, as was Dan D.
(I tried to find a better picture of Dans buggy, but ummm, oh well.)
if i recall it was on the cover of fourwheeler in 1997 and that rig had a shackle reversal up front and was the bees knees.....I think I read Shannon’s red Jeep/buggy from top truck had a 10 bolt in the front.
I read on Facebook recently that that JR’s old Bronco will be going up for auction. I can’t remember what group it was in. I’ll try and dig it up.not one mention of JRs portal bronco?
that was always my favorite
