Monster Jeeps Attack New Mexico
|
Ed Westerbeck calls his lengthened '78 CJ-5 the Rock Taxi. No one wanted a ride after this. Even the 20 inches added to the middle couldn't keep Ed's wheels down on this climb. In that extra space, you'll find an AMC 999 auto tranny mated to a Dana 300 transfer case with 4:1 low gears. These twist a locked '78 GM junkyard Dana 60 up front and a '94 Ford van Dana 70 rear with welded spider gears. Both axles sport way-low 6.17 gears. All of this is powered by an AMC 304 from a '69 Matador. Ed added Javelin 390 heads and an RV cam, and he's working on a TBI system. The front and rear garage-built four-link suspension allows fitment of 15x42x16.5 Swampers on Hummer bead locks. View Related Article
