Some of our completed builds are in the "pop-outs" of this tab of you'd like to see examples of our work and knowledge.
We are the best at what we do in building quality 76 to 86 Jeep CJs. (See below Jeep and pop-out tabs and decide for yourself)
That said, we have seen the quality of replacement parts deteriorate to unacceptably low standards. This makes "building" a "new" Jeep to not be worthy of the labor required to install, re-install, and then make the parts worthy of our quality expectations, my name and the cost required.
Our newer philosophy as this now 8 year business evolves is to work with the best clean original Jeeps we can find and heal them with our vast supply of original used parts and changing only what needs to be changed.
Asian bodies, body anels, cosmetic and mechanical parts are often not worth the box theyre in.
Many premium US companies are selling parts and services that don't fit, and have been outsourced to the lowest bidder.
Our past customers have called our builds "art" which flatters me. It is fun when you have sources worthy of the final product. When the components aren't worth the labor then it feels shoddy as the labor expense is even higher than it should be. This isn't fun and doesn't feel good.
This business is about feeling good and freedom.
If you want to talk about this, please feel free to call. I really do not sit at a computer much or want to tap on a keyboard.
Sincerely,
Rudy
Beautiful (full build) Jeep Scrambler delivered 9/2013 (Note all pictures on the site can be expanded by looking for the "+" sign)
I'm very pleased and proud of this decal install. This was effort of the installer and us, not the manufacturer of the decals.
Beautiful customer requested Sherwood green paint...
Original AMC Chrome Laredo wheels and center caps...
Rock Hard 4x4 Sport Cage installed to cover the 2 rows of fold and tumble family seating
This may not look like much but this is Tuffy box with custom armrest (taller than stock so you can actually lean on it) and stereo with 4 speakers and all wires hidden under the floor so the interior is not clutered with wiring. This takes a hard day to accomplish.
Custom Linex Sherwood green color tint lifetime floor protection with UV fade guard
Note the Linex mask off for the tailgate hardware. It allows the hardware to turn easier. Details ;)
Non rusted original desert floors...
Full stock-like manual transmission to auto conversion, Laredo gauge upgrade (tach and clock), Leather wheel and tilt column.
290 HP 5.7Liter Crate Engine with serpentine kit, polished aluminum and EFI installed as if it came that way from the factory.
Custom engine tag
Gorgeous underside. 20 Gallon original fuel tank, One piece axles, Poly bushings, New grade 8 hardware, Stainless lines and Full dual stainless steel exhaust
Aluminum radiator, polished transmission cooler with stainless fittings.
That is the short story and here it goes to FINALLY ship...
Not my best photo but I am very proud of this one of a kind Jeep and hope it provides a lifetime of safety and fun for its one of a kind, heck of a guy, owner.
The day before delivery which was while Colorado was having all the flooding. The Hippy and I saw some peril firsthand on our adventure.
Personally delivered to Colorado so I could finally meet the great guy I'd been talking to on the phone for almost a year in restoring his one of a kind Rudy's CJ.
Don't forget the trip home with new hand picked rot free CJs after 5000 miles in a week. Thank goodness the Hippy is an excelent co-pilot! ;)
