3 year build...if it can it has....

So I started with a 2008 JEEP Jk Sahara 4 Door.Green with brown hard top

I bought it new and put about 247,000 miles on it in 4 years so I decided that I would keep it rather than buy a new one and just use it as a platform to build what I want.

First thing to do was to strip it completely down, body off and every nut and bolt catalogued.

First night under the JEEP I noticed that the rear main seal was leaking....

I made a call to a local shop I trusted to have them rebuild the engine and dropped it off the next day in McAdenville, NC.

9 months and 41 trips later my JEEP was dropped off at my house on a rollback with the rear full of parts. They did not rebuild the engine. Tried to just do the heads and paint the rest of the engine, valve springs were different sizes and my brand new sprintex supercharger was sitting on top of the engine....Not running.

The wiring harness had been cut, intercooler tank broken and the orings were either cut or missing all together.

My brand new mishimoto radiator was beaten and drug across the shop floor. Had to be replaced.

My 4 inch long arm kit was in pieces in the rear of the JEEP and my brand new tube steps were bent from them putting the lift on them.

So what are you wanting to do? Have it fixed? Or sell it?

 

Hate to hear they treated you so bad! Sounds like a pretty solid build.
