Vehicle: Kirk currently drives
a 1982 CJ-7 that has been slightly (ha ha) modified. Starting at the front, he
swapped in an A.M.C. 304 w/
TBI fuel
injection, backed by a T-18
a trans to
a (gasp) stock Dana
300 T-case. From
the T- case the power goes to a Dana 70 rear w/Detroit locker, and a Dana 44
front with an E-Locker. The modifications don't stop there as he has built
extensive body armor from front to rear (and underside!), along with a
roll-cage that NASCAR would be proud of! And to top it all off the rig rolls
on Hummer bead lock rims with Hummer issue tires that have also been modified
thru the use of a grooving iron. In case he gets this beast stuck, he has
opted for a 9500lb. Warn winch with synthetic line. He has wheeled on various
trails in
Arkansas (Superlift in Hot
Springs), Colorado
(Great Sand Dunes,
Tenderfoot Hill, Clear Lake),
Texas
(Red Sands in El Paso),
Illinois
(Rockport), I
ndiana (Attica, Red Bird,
Wilstem and French Lick) and Michigan
(Silverlake Dunes
).
This just in! Kirk has recently added onboard air to his list of goodies!
