About the Car
This vehicle is a compliance Australian sold 1997 TJ Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep was sold by Leo Muller Jeep in Brisbane in 1998 all log books are included, + original owners details including phone number and photos from when it was first purchased.
I have a full photo album from the day it was bought from jeep to now showing the full rebuild.
The Jeep was a one owner until Nov 2007 when I purchased it the Jeep was white in colour and was almost standard with very little modification if any.
In March 2008 I had the Jeep repainted in Holden VE Kpow FX Blue/Purple, I was happy with the new paint but got bored quickly so I decided to pull it off the road for a total Rebuild in November 2008 with a open budget ,
The rebuild started and was done properly, the paint was done by a good friend in 2K Dodge Viper Race Yellow (yes its self painted and this was a home respray and was done with great care and detail and time using almost 8 coats of colour the existing paint was stripped down to the factory primer and re primed using Metalux All Stage 2K primer. some areas of the Jeep were snad blasted all bar work including roll cage was blasted and powder coasted even under body parts as decided.
All bar work, front and rear bars including sliders and roll cage were blasted, powdercoated gloss black and then painted in a high gloss black, so if u scratch them it wont scratch through the powder coat mainatining a black look.
I purchased all later model parts most of which were shipped from the US in a 450x450 square wooden box
I had a quadratec order arrive, it was a new AEV Tummy Tucker, New AEV engine skid, NEW daystar upper Johnny Joint Adj arms, Lower Currie Adjustable arms.
I replaced all rubbers and seals and repaired any under dash wiring that had aged or been man handled in its pervious years, I had the interior re trimmed and made a range of custom applications and enhancements.
The suspension was lifted and replaced in which is all New product and what wasn’t new has been restored and rebuilt I also did a full under body rebuild.
I decided to make some upgrades to the motor area to complete my fantasy in which I purchased a stroked 2006 4.7 L motor and a 4spd Auto to replace the original manual the car originally had this came with all updated 2006 wiring including computers including dash wiring air bag modules etc
This car may be compliance as a 97 but the only thing left on it from that year is the Tub, doors and chassis every other component that builds a car is either NEW or 2006 upgraded.
The car is low Km’s very well built, extremely capable and a real machine you will not find a TJ built this custom and in this condition at a better price.
This car is built to beat the competition on and off the road; it’s built as a head turner on the street and mud wrestler off road. Not that i would ever take it off road.
During the build I have taken detailed pictures and notes I can advise you on where to buy and how to go about saving money on products you may want to add in the future.
I advise everyone to come and inspect but buying sight unseen you won’t be disappointed you will be thrilled give me a call as i have all the time in the world for genuine enquires, please if you dint have the money dont lead me on, if you like something about the car and you have a general query then email me and i will give you details if u genuinly want to see the vehicle, test run it or discuss it then give me a call or text 0412989469
