Welcome!

This is my first blog post, so I figured I would share a few images of my current rig. It has been a work in progress for several years. The Jeep is completely funded by me through part time jobs and buying and selling car/parts. I haven't been able to wheel as much as I would like because I spend so much time upgrading parts and changing the way things are setup. The Jeep was nicknamed "Black Betty" after the Ram Jam song. It is a 1988 Wrangler (YJ). As it sits now it has a Jeep straight six 258 (4.2L) bored .030 over with a Jeep HO 4.0 head and MPFI (multi-port fuel injection). The transmission is a Torque-Flite TF999 from a 92' YJ and is mated to a Dana D300 transfercase with an Advanced Adapters clocking ring. The axles are from a 1985 Chevy K3500 1 ton truck. The front is a Dana 60 the rear is a Corporate 14 Bolt w/ disc brake conversion. The front is 4 linked with Sway-A-Way 2.0 x 16" coilovers (SAW). The tires are 38 x 12.5 x 16.5R Interco Super Swamper TSL SX's on H1 Hummer rims with inner/outer beadlocks. I will go into more of the details on Black Betty in future posts.

  1. Bad Ass.

    Reading those specs was a bit overwhelming but I can definitely relate because I tinker with my bikes all the time and my friends never know what I'm talking about.

    Hopefully we'll see some action shots once mud season hits?

    keep posting.
