Craig's CJ7 "BONDO BUGGY" has 258 inline 6 with K&N and straight out exhoust. The engine has been water proofed, along with the rest of the drivetrain. I have a t5 trans with a dana 300 transfer case. All heavy duty u-joints going to a dana 35 and a dana 44. New fuel system, new cooling system and rhino lined inside. Cb, cd player with 8 speakers. I lifted it, 4 inch suspension, 1 1/4 shackle, 2 inch body, and everything in between I fixed or changed too. From the sway links to the bushings to the longer brake lines. I bought this jeep for $500. I have done all the work myself, i'm only 17. I also did the body and paint job. I plan to keep it the rest of my life and never take it to a shop.
