I need to have 1 jeep . To do everything & yet be a 1940s flatty. Have the HP to keep up with JK-JLs on Hwys, truck bed to do truck things, store a rooftop tent overlanding, total build cost be under $15k not like $60k for a stock JT + $20k upgrades. By the way im only 21 years old. Been into Vintage jeeps for last 8 years. This build has just started as of 9/8/22 with help from Greg Henderson for the powerplant & Nova Winch.
