Well I have always wanted an AMC Jeep and
after 4 months of Searching I found her.
This is my first Jeep, but I did own and
restore a 1969 AMC Javelin SST. I
can't really say how much I have put into
"Jennie" I spent $5000 on her to
get her home, and now have upgraded the
Suspension. It had a 1.5" Shackle
lift, I upped that to 2" Greaseable
shackles just to stop the rubbing. I plan
on doing the wrangler spring swap this
summer. I put in a Motorcraft Carb, HEI
Distributor, the Contour Electric Fan with
the Flex-A-Lite Variable controller. New
Shocks, and some gauges, New Valve cover
gasket, drilling and tapping for the
aluminum cover this summer too. I also
have front and rear bumpers made by The
Dirtworx, he makes some killer bumpers and
they are worth every penny. Lastly I
pulled everything from the tub and
herculined it. Lots of plans just gotta
wait on the $$ and the wife's
approval..lol Well the weekend of the
18th of Sept 09, I swapped out the worn
springs and put in a set of Superlift
Superride 2.5 inch springs with a set of
Currie RockCrawler Grease-able shackles.
That gives me a about 3 inches of life and
a hella lot better ride. I also put on
the Dirtworx front bumper and now it
matches the back one.
