1978 Jeep CJ turbo Rat Rod/ Hot Rod Roadster
I’m listing my Turbo Rat Rod/ Hot Rod Roadster Jeep Pickup. It started life as a 1978 Jeep CJ7 that slowly evolved in to what it is today. That said It’s time for something different, I daily drive it almost every day as long as it’s not going to rain. With that said it’s a real head turner a great conversation piece. I get complements on it every time I drive it, there is never a time when I don’t pull into a place or walk out to leave that someone is not taking pics of it or wanting to talk about it, so if you’re someone that does not like a lot of attention this is not the vehicle for you. I went with an old skool 32 fordish Steampunk Rat Rod Theme with a 4.2 258 Turbocharged I6. The transmission is a T150 3 speed with a dana 20 transfer case Yes it’s still 4WD! It has the dana 30 front end with disk brakes and amc 20 rear end with drum brakes. It has manual steering and manual brakes that said if you plan on turning up the boost you may want to convert to disk brakes in the rear it gets up to a 100+ fast. It has 15×8 and 15×10 wheels the front tires are new. As for the frame and suspension the frame has been stretched 21 inched the front suspension has been moved forward 7.5 inches and lowered 5 inches the front of the frame had been notched to clear the front axle it also has a rock crawler style shock hoop. The front leaf springs have a custom shackles and shackle mounts and Frenched rear spring mounts. The rear has a has a 2 inch drop block and it gives it a nice raked effect. As for the body the tub has been shortened to 61 inches narrowed 6 inches and channeled 2.5 inches. It has custom paint job no real rust it just painted to look ratty that said the paint if not perfect it not meant to be it has chips and scratches. It has a custom windshield frame with a crank out windshield the windshield and side windows are polycarbonate and are built prof up to a .45. The hardtop is a modified Aluminum Sears top for a willys cj3a. It has a custom roll bar that is tied into the frame with the rock sliders. The speedometer is out of a willys aero however it is way off and does not read correctly neither does the fuel gauge. The doors are off a YJ and have been converted to 2 piece doors so you can remove the upper part when you remove the roof. 48 Willy’s tailgate. The bench seat is hand made. It does have a radio however you cannot hear it over the exhaust. With that being said it’s very loud though it does sound amazing, however if you plan on driving it on the interstate for long periods of time (Above 70MPH) I would suggest installing an Exhaust Insert though it’s not too bad with the center of the roof installed. It runs and drive Great. It is very fast and will pull very hard when in boost. It handles really well that said it does ride like a jeep it’s not a Cadillac. It’s a Blast to drive your never not smiling when you drive it. That said everything is new or rebuilt I have only listed a few key parts. It’s always garaged it’s never seen rain.
