1 ton/V8 87 Wrangler

[beav350]

I REALLY hate to sell her, but life is dictating it!

1987 Wrangler-clean title
She's not really a Wrangler anymore, here's why....

-Chevy 350, recently overhauled, tight cylinders & crank
-new Edelbrock 600
-headers, dual exhaust, no cats
-mild cam for low RPM
-HEI
-SM465 4 speed, 1 ton of course, tight
-NP205
-corp. 14 bolt rear w/ Detroit
-Dana 44 HD (8 lug) lincoln-ed
-Spring-over w/ 2 inch lift pro-comp springs, 1 inch lift shackles
-Painless wiring throughout
-Summit fuel cell tucked up high & armored
-Bestop waterproof seats
-35"X15.5" TSL Swampers, 80%
-4.10 Gears (sufficient crawl ratio w/ the 205 & 465)
-Body armor: front custom bumper, 4" x 4" 1/4" thick angle iron for rockers
-Autometer guages: Tach, temp, & oil pressure
-Warn 9000 winch
-Rancho 9000's on custom mounts for max flex
-Warn hubs
-Rhino-lined interior

There's a lot of hidden engineering in this baby, & things I've left out.

Problems:

-clutch is getting close to retirement
-no top: hard, soft, Bikini or otherwise
-hard half doors, no windows (uppers)
-Eventually I planned to get a CV shaft for the rear, she could use it


$7500, over 15K into it.

My boyfriend & I are looking for a modified Wrangler but are unsure just how modified to go with. Is it street legal or street safe?

It is street safe, but legal depends on where you plan to register it. Due to the V8 motor it can't easily be registered in CA. I had it registered in Weld county Colorado, no smog there, so no problems. I got pulled over driving it in San Luis Obispo, CA about a year ago en route to Pismo, & I got a fix-it ticket for no mud flaps (the tires stick out completely from the tub). The only street safety issue is the detroit in the rear & mud tires, on ice you have to be very careful with the throttle or you'll be facing the wrong way on the street very quickly.

Can you post a few more pics? That thumbnail is pretty small. If you could show the suspension set-up & the motor that would be great. Thanx.
