Re: a different 4x4
Cool build! I dated a girl in High School that drove a Brat. That little sucker was great in the mud. She lived way out in the boonies. Her dad never believed the "we got stuck" story!!!

Re: a different 4x4
it had a custom exhaust on it before. 1.75" at the heads into the Y, and 2.25" the rest of the way back, and a Magnaflow straight through muffler at the rear....

I used to hate those Brats but I kinda dig this one. They are getting old/rare enough now to be cool.

Re: a different 4x4
yeah, the Brat's in really nice shape are sometimes going for prices 4x higher than "book value" even my insurance company is paying from a values book called "Cars of Interest" for my other Brat.. (Not an offroader
)BlueJeep has the cage and front bumper on it now, and the fuel cell put in the bed, literally

Re: a different 4x4
it's moving under it's own power now...
