To finish up this thread I sold the Willys a couple months ago when I decided to do my 1 ton swap. I couldn’t afford to spend money on two Jeeps. The guy who bought it wanted to build a mud truck for his new wife as a wedding present. He kept me updated as he continued to build it. He said his wife loves it and I think it turned out pretty decent myself. I’m glad someone could keep the project going.
He wasn’t done yet. I watched the reveal video and they started it up and pushed it out of the garage. But maybe he’s using a new custom Bluetooth driveshaft.
