Awesome Jeep with a 351! How cool is that?
I use the matching Supra decal to tie the two together ...

That jeep pic is sawweettt.
Towing with a lifted cj you are a brave man.
I would gess the full width axles and 3/4 brakes would help alot.
I stopped working on this (1958 Chevrolet Apache) to start on the boat. Maybe when the boat is done, I'll put a hide-a-hitch on this and upgrade the bags in the rear so I can tow the boat with it. Guess that means the color scheme I had picked out for the boat might have to change so they can match :)

Not going to lie, with it set up like I have it that motor is just plain amazing! I'll get people on the trail all the time asking what motor is in it. When I tell them it's a 351w they are really surprised. With all the new big FI motors being put in crawlers, and the sound of this one is DEEP. When I tell them the motor came from a Ski boat, they are normally cracking up and call BS until I pop the hood. That's always fun to watch their expression to read PCM Marine Power on the valve covers.
Thanks man. I'm loving the all black truck. I'm normally a Ford man, but that truck is awesome. I'd rock that bad boy.
14-bolt rear end with 4-wheel disc brakes. Tows like a champ. But since I mounted my rock crawler bumper flush with the back end, the hitch does sit a weeee bit high. Even with a drop hitch it looks silly.
NICE! More pics?
I'll upload some more of the 58' when I get home. I don't have any other pictures of it on my work computer.
Haugy, here are a couple more pics of the 58'. Used to be all red, got bored and decided to try an egg shell black look. Those aren't the latest pics though. I don't have any recent ones, but it now has red chevy rally wheels with 4" white walls on it.
