What do you do with a rig built to do it all? You take it out and play with it; when it’s time to go bigger, you pop it up for sale! Meet the Jeep built to take on Rock crawling, desert pre-running, winter wheeling, and, only if you have to….mud!
A full tube chassis and all-aluminum Aqualu tub that’s stretched and dovetailed has a 19-gallon fuel cell to give you more time on the trail. This rig is custom from the ground up, and it’s about the easiest rig to go out and have fun in. Here’s the deets.
Based in Carmel, New York, this 1960s Jeep Willys is owned by Charlie Melchner. It has a 434 small-block Chevy built by Pat Musi; 604 hp with 480 ft lb torque; modified with Holley Multipoint EFI at all heads. TH400 Reid Case from Maximum Transmission. The axles are Spidertrax Pro Series 40 spline, 530 gears, high pinion 10 inch in the rear. Custom steering and Wilwood brakes; Hero 3 speed case and Tom Wood Drive Shafts, PSC full hydraulic steering. Tires are 43 Sticky Super Swampers mounted on 17” TrailReady double beadlocks.
