We debuted it at the MN4WDA Spring Convention April. We will also have it at various events up until the C4C. Tickets will be available at those showings.
It started as a wrecked YJ. The tub was wasted, the motor was blown. It was just in really rough shape, but the frame was perfect. We really went all out on it. Here are the specs.

We are very proud of this thing. It has taken alot of time & work. But it will be worth it in the end. One lucky person will drive away with a really cool lookin' jeep, for only $10.00
You can see many of the dedicated people in the pics. We certainly thank them for all of their hard work & dedication to this project. There are a few people who have spent a huge amount of hours on this thing. Jeff has literally hauled it all over the cities to various shops. Brian spent huge hours painting it for free. Lame designed & bent the show cage & fenders. Ken donated the new shocks & center console. Thank you to you guys. We certainly could not have done this without you. Thank you also to Bubba (who really had the idea) & the North Shore Wheelers, for their help & the donation of the new motor.

I know I have forgotten people, so for that, I apologize. I will post up as
I remember.
As you can see, this build is far from done. We still have alot of parts to
install. We will post up as things get done. We are also continuously looking
for more things to add to it. It will be completed by the Crawl 4 the Cure,
ready for the new owner.
To view the jeep in person here are a few of the places you can see the Jeep:
5/19: Car show in New Richmond, WI
5/25-28: IROHVA/ Gilbert, MN
6/9: Park Jeep Day, Burnsville, MN
Well, it's been kinda quiet around here for a while, but the C4C Jeep has been
busy. Memorial weekend it was on display at the Gilbert park. Last weekend it
was shown at Park Jeep Day at Park Jeep. In between all of that it has been
pampered over at Burnsville Offroad. They have added many new items to it. Front
& rear bumpers from Fab Fours. The new interior. A new Bestop soft top. Brand
new exhaust. New aftermarket steering wheel. The list goes on & on. Again we
owe all of this to Burnsville Offroad.............................Thank You
There are still some things to come, even a matching spare tire & wheel. But
I think you'll all agree that this is one totally kick ass jeep.
Can't wait to see it live check it out now
with a few pics of the build starting last October.
A little wax.... & who knows
The front clip is gone
And now a word from our sponsors
There goes the old tub, Monster Garage style
Weel, that was easy
Bare & ready for the sandblaster
New tub, ready for a cage
Voila, there it is
Very clean design
Stripping the old tub
Installing the dash, in the new tub
placing the drivetrain in the freshened frame

Everyone's hands must be cold
Carrying the new tub over
Installing the new tub
Installing the new cage
Perfect fit
Interior is pretty well wrapped up
Needs tires & wheels tho

It's in the details
A custom C4C radiator
At the car show in New Richmond
The Themes of the show was red, so we certainly fit in
The next stop will be Gilbert for Memorial Weekend
At park jeep day, we had quite a good turnout.
Note the new ORO Lite Dots that Offroad Only donated!
We just have to show this off: It's a 6.1L Hemi conversion in an `07 Jeep JK. This is Burnsville Offroad's specialty. If you ever get a chance to see one in person, you'll be truly impressed.
Here it is the day of the big give away. The jeep raised over $15,000 for the MS Society.
Here are the happy winners picking it up.
Congrat's Elizabeth & Jason!
Update: We borrowed the jeep to display at the Sportsman Show in St. Paul in January. It still looks great but, you can sure tell the new owners are using it for it's intended purpose!
