Why does that paint scheme say International Scout to me?

I kinda like it, think they'll go $25,995?

[duncanstives]

I like it but it needs more lift, some trimming (done well enough to match the rest of the vehicle and with a nice set of flares) and some 33s... It would be awesome :D

Kind of looks like they put in the crappy durango ifs? Hard to tell... Also that would make no sense since it would be a difficult swap...

No suspension was swapped.

Certainly a lot of work in this rig, but I am not fan

[budojeepr]

Heart and "sole"? I fain swoon. Shoot the journalist as an example, buy the Wag.

[Gurinski]

Imo the paint, wheels and interior are wack. It seems they were trying to get away from the original look as much as possible.

[ChiefEd]

AND, IMHO, it woulda popped way more with a wide track style body, all fenderflary an whatnot...That Narrowtrack just looks so.... NORMAL...

[krek]

It's not exactly how I would have built it... but it is well worth $25,000 in my humble opinion.

[newtojeeps]

I don't think it could be registered in California :D

[FSJ Guy]

That's an excellent price! Wow! I wonder if they'd repaint it, however. Not my style.

Heck, if it showed up in my driveway, the Subaru would get sold in a heartbeat and I would drive the wee out of it. You know a bunch of ya would... :thumbsup:

Wood grain would go right over the white paint too...

5 lugger...blech :pIf someone parked in front of your house and gave you the keys, you know what will happen. :D

[Greenfish]

I like it, looks cool and I get its pretty reliable too.

That's what I was thinking except for under the back turn signals.

HATE the interior, though.

[KyooMac]

While nice, and yes if the keys showed up at my front door I would drive it like I stole it, but I would miss all the oil leaks, and noises that I can't figure out where they're coming from.

[cfg7613]

No Thanks !

I don't think it could be registered in California :D

Actually, I bet it could.. just as a Durango, not a Wagoneer. New parts in an old car seems to be looked at as a good thing. :rolleyes:

for what it's worth, I like it. Interior too. lol

I'll be doing something similar with Levi, but with the old-school dash instead of the new one. I wonder if they could do it with the new Durango.. and the 6.4L Hemi with MDS.. :D

[jeepjseries]

Not saying I wouldn't drive it if someone gave me the keys, but I would rather have the 14,500 dollar rig listed on Oklahoma City's craigslist with the GM power plant.

[CJ the noisemaker]

Not my cup of tea...


Now if it was a Jeep Bronconeer (351/E4oD), I would drive the snot out of that!

:p

Weren't there two of these built? I remember one with wrap around taillights.
