I finished my ’88 GW it has an ’87 hood and grill and wiring harness. I rebuilt the burned up original engine. Bored 60, ground crank and new everything else.
Other than machine work I did everything myself in about 2 months, but one of the months I was waiting for I wiring harness that never came, so I was in a holding pattern.
I did the paint (color matched the hood and grill plus a little trimming on the grill) and straightened the rad. core support (could have done better on that, or better yet I should have replaced it) myself. I also adapted the pig nose where there was a final type before.
I think it’s about 10 footer, but I never claimed to be a paint and body guy, or engine for that matter, but I do it cus I enjoy it.

Thanks, I put a lot of work into it, it’s my new tow rig for my little Jeep. It will be taking me camping and towing my car hauler with my TJ on it to go Wheelin.
I cant afford a big diesel powered rig, so I thought what better to pull a Jeep, than a BIGGER Jeep!!!

:D
