Does anybody know anything about this big ass XJ / Scout mix. Hickory area.

So I'm thinking hard about a trade offer for my ZJ on 1 tons and coilovers for this Franken-Jeep. Wanted to see if anyone knew any more info on it.

Owner says it's a 73' Scout frame and chassis, XJ body, 383 sbc, TH400, twin sticks, 60 and 14 bolt. Sitting on 42's. Haven't gotten much other info than that. Want to get a better scoop before I make a 3 hour trip to Hickory from Raleigh to check it out.

Nothing to add that will help, but just saw it on CL. Got some good parts on it, just peel the camo and wheel it!!

I'd at least take a couple leafs out to keep it from rolling when barely getting offcenter.

Frankenjeep for sure... kinda cool but I'd be real careful to inspect what kind of weird engineering happens to get that together.

Yes, I'm very curious how they attached a unibody XJ to a frame. I know any swap vehicle will most likely have wiring rats nests from hell too.

Looks WAY too tall for my taste and sounds heavy.

I would send a PM to OlJeeps on here. I know that Metalwerx did some work on it, and maybe he could give you more info.

Will do, thank you

Yeah if you ask me its akin to stacked frames.

I've seen it at the Mud Pits a few times in the past... (Year or more ago) and it seemed to do well, had plenty of power... definitely didn't have much flex.
