Engine heads have been plained, cleaned, and inspected. Equipt with dual Reed Moral Dcoe 40 carburetors, making this a complete mechanical set up with no computers (ECU) making this as simple and easy to work on if needed.Brake, and suspension: Using 235 75 R15 MT on a 2.5 lift. New brakes, rotors, calipers, pads, bearings, drums, bushings, tires, wheels, adapters, brake lines, tie rod ends, ball joints, (upper and lower) rides very smooth and reacts as it should.Exterior was repainted using TCP Global liner paint thinned by 15% for a smoother feel which is very durable for back country driving.
