Felipe Aparicio's 1991 Jeep Wrangler Renegade
Felipe's YJ Renegade is stock, purchased last year, and he will never sell it.
"Haven't done much to it, but I plan to put a 2-1/2" lift on it, and obviously bigger tires.
Other than that I am perfectly happy with it as is. The reason I send a pic of it is because I
have not seen this particular style in any magazine yet, they are hard to find. Hope you enjoy
it as much as I do." - Felipe

Jamie Edger's 1988 Wrangler
"My jeep is pretty basic, it has a 3-inch body lift and 32x10.5 BFG's and
some vinyl graphics I had made at a local sign shop. I know real Jeeps are
built not bought, but I have only had it for a month-and-a-half. I am ready for a
tranny upgrade as of about 4 hours ago, 1st gear just shot right out of the tranny housing." - Jamie

Edelbrock 650cfm Carb, the heads are polished and ported, it has a Competion Cam, bored .040

kit and custom driveshafts from my Dad."

run a 4.56 gear ratio and the front has a Detroit Locker as well. It has a 2-1/2 Rancho lift on
it, and a 3" Trailmaster body lift. It has 33x12.50x15 TSL Super Swampers.
