New guy with and interesting find (Overlander Build)

I vote for the old school too! :drool:

This is one of the most unique jeeps in the entire USA. Its been a long time coming, so stoked to see this! :bow:
 
Sweet. Ready to see this one on the road.
 
Update time:

The time has arrived!!! I am heading up to Brian's in the morning to bring it home. He has purposely not sent any recent pictures so I can get the big reveal! To say I am excited is an understatement. I know Brian will be excited to get the garage space back so he can get to some of his projects. Future plans are some seat time, maybe attend a Jeep gathering. The wife wants to take it on the Hot Rod Power Tour. I will be sure to take some pictures.
 
Sounds like good times ahead for you and your wife. Have fun with it.

Silver Lake, MI is always nice the first week of August....just sayin'!


 
Congratulations! I've followed this fantastic find and build from the get go and you have a wonderful Jeep. One observation I noticed in the short video. The upper coolant hose looks like it has taken too sharp a bend and is slightly collapsed where it turns south to the motor. If it's not an optical illusion you may want to revisit the fit on it. Other than that get some reveal pics posted so we can enjoy it too.
 
The day has come and gone, and with it the Jeep has too. This has been a labor of love that took longer than expected to finish, but that happens when you travel for 3-4 nights a week for work, and have a family to balance as well. As promised, here are some pictures of it finished, as well as some specs.IMG_0437.JPGIMG_0438.JPGIMG_0439.JPGIMG_0451.JPGIMG_0443.JPG

The motor is a 1989-1991 industrial 4BT
Holset Turbo, liquid to air aftercooler
Steed Speed centered exhaust manifold
Richmond 4+1 trans
Dana 300 Transfer
Air Conditioning

Hope you like it as much as I do.
 
I'm not much on oil burners but I like this one. I can also appreciate the amount of work that goes into a conversion.
 
Awesome. I am so pissed at myself that I forgot this build was only 45 minutes from my house and I never checked it out in person. Only realized it when just before I checked this thread out I was on Rausch Creek forum and saw same username on taptalk. Dang, dang, dang.......
