Monster Jeeps Attack New Mexico
|
Wide axles and big tires make for some interesting lines in Farmington. Generally, you have to straddle holes that swallow smaller Jeeps. Phil Beauchamp spun around in his awfully tall, stretched, garage-built '73 CJ-5 with the help of rear steering. Phil's Jeep sports an AMC 360 loaded with Holley Pro-Jection. Power spins into a T-18 manual transmission and an Atlas 4.3 transfer case. Both axles are narrowed 2 ½-ton steering Rockwells stuffed with the standard 6.72:1 gears and Detroits at front and rear. They're hung on owner-built three-link suspension front and rear for a wheelbase of 113 inches, which fits 44-inch Swampers on 15x10 MRT wheels with bead locks on the inners and outers.
