This is an Arizona titled (clean and clear) 1949 Willys Pickup built on a stretched 1997 Jeep Wrangler frame. There are many many details that went into this build and I will try to list them here, but may miss some or forget some. Any really interested parties need to come see this truck first hand and ask questions. The truck drives great on-road and is extremely capable off-road. It has plenty of power, and turns heads everywhere it goes. Everyone loves it from Rednecks, to Hippies, and everyone in between.
Built as a Jp Magazine project Vehicle there are 8 or 9 3-4 page articles on the build. To see them Google: "Jp Magazine Wicked Willys" or "Wicked Willys Ultimate Adventure" for more info on the truck and the UA trip.
The Engine is a 505ci stroked and bored (.030 over) '67 Dodge/Chrysler RB (440) with an Eagle Rotating Assembly, Edelbrock Heads, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock Fuel injection, Headers, an MSD ignition, Crane Solid Lifter Roller cam, and so on. A Premier Power Welder high amp alternator. Transfer cases are a Dodge NP203 Range box rebuilt with parts and an adapter from Offroad Designs and rear 32-spline outputs. Driveshafts are from Tom Woods.
The front axle is a GM King-pin Dana 60 with 35-spline G2 chromoly axles, a Detroit Locker, 35-spline Warn Hubs, 4.88:1 G2 ring and pinion.
The rear axle is a pre-1987 GM 14-bolt with G2 Gears, a Detroit Locker, and an ORD disc brake conversion. The frame is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler that was a theft recovery, lengthened it to accommodate the Willys' factory wheelbase. The front suspension uses a three link from Synergy Manufacturing. The front axle has a truss/bridge that is MIG welded to the axle tubes and bolted/TIG welded to the differential casting. The rear suspension is a 4-link from Synergy Manufacturing that uses a Synergy axle truss/bridge for the upper, triangulated links.
Suspension uses Old Man Emu shocks and Old Man Emu springs for a ZJ Grand Cherokee front and a LJ Wrangler rear.
Wheels are 20-inch Trail Ready Bead locks (there are 5, one has never had a tire). Tires are 42-inch BFGoodrich KX Krawlers (there are 5 one has never been mounted to a wheel). Wiring on the rig is care of a Painless Performance wiring harness. The truck has a roll cage mainly composed of 1.75x .120-wall DOM tubing. This cage is also tied to the frame, rock sliders, and the functional headache rack. Information comes from Autometer gauges including a GPS driven speedometer. Fuel comes from a 13gallon primary tank and a removable keg for auxiliary fuel for those longer drives. Up front a Warn 8274-50 can be used for recovery. Steering comes from a Redneck Ram ram assist and a modified stock replacement pump. Wilwood brake and clutch master cylinders on a Wilwood pedal assembly. Lokar gas pedal and throttle linkage. Crowe seat belts. 2.5 inch dual exhaust and Flowmaster 40 series mufflers.
