MARK HARLOW Custom Stretched Jeep CJ-5 - SEMA 2022

[wayoflife]

This awesome CJ5 was built by a guy named Mark Harlow and for The Battle of the Builders which will air on the History Channel. As the story goes, he parked this Jeep 11 years ago after, I believe his daughter, Autumn was born prematurely at just 24 weeks. Needless to say, it was a project that he promised himself that he would rebuild and 6 years ago, got going on it. Today, it really is a sight to see!

That is pretty cool

I like everything about it except you’d spend all that time and money and put the cheapest tire you can find on it

Performance aside they don't even look good.

Nice…

 

[GP NOIR]

Leafs the front and coils in the back?

I like how he lowered the top of the tub.

The work looks immaculate!

Hmmm, that front license plate looks like an old 4Wheel Drive Hardware logo. They were based in Columbiana Ohio and made the best fiberglass CJ bodies I've ever seen back in the late 70's, into the 80's & 90's. These things were absolutely tanks compared to others I've seen. Made old style Bronco bodies as well. Always wanted to build one someday when I was younger but they were bought by 4 Wheel Parts years ago & quit making a lot of stuff, including the fiberglass bodies. PiginaJeep is familiar with them. He had a friend that worked there that did work on my Jeep. Still some stores out there but the Columbiana OH distribution hub was closed a couple years ago.

That looks sick!

 

[Bullwinckle]

Solid looking build.

 

[Silvanus27]

It’s a work of ART!!
Candy Apple Red is one of the best of the custom colors ever formulated!

 

[Colorado4x4]

Bad to the bone! It would look better with some Trail Grapplers though

 

[Mike Pierson]

Best rig of the pre-video in my opinion! Love this thing!

 

[Brute]

Where?…EJS?

2023 Easter Jeep Safari Potato Salad Hill Rollover (Driver was OK)

Driver was shaken, but ok. Jeep fired right up and was able to drive out of the ditch and he continued to wheel for the rest of Easter Weekend.https://www.wa...

Damn shame…glad the driver (I’m assuming it was Mark Harlow) is ok

 

[OverlanderJK]

Ruined in seconds by being an idiot. Perfect.

 

[Jsouder53]

I sure hope he is okay too! I bet if he had some better tires he would’ve made it lol

I showed this to the wife this morning... told her that's our next trail to hit in Moab. She didn't find it funny.
