LAST ACTIVE IN: Iowa

DRIVER BIO: “ACE admin obsessed with DSMs. With big plans for the car and absolutely no intentions of getting rid of it, I am super excited to see this build all of the way through.”

VEHICLE BIO: “I got the car in early 2018, and since then I have been working on building myself a good platform to start modifying. Essentially, I finished bringing the interior mostly back to OEM since I love the look of it. It took a while to gather the parts I needed. Next, replacing the old turbo and getting the transmission fixed. From there I want to do wheels, coil overs, full respray (same color) and a few other bits and pieces.

FEATURED VEHICLE OF THE WEEK

1972 Jeep CJ 5
owned by Jordankade

VEHICLE BIO: “My father bought this Jeep for my first car. When that didn’t pan out my mother wanted me to get the F-150. Dad didn’t trust me with a v8 (good choice) and for my first car, I got a Jeep Cherokee (Box body before Obama). I worked on that for a year before crashing D.O.C (damned ol’ Cherokee) in the ice. After that, we fixed the control arm that I had ripped clean off and my father sold it (under my nose) then gave me this. When I got it I couldn’t fit into the CJ’s smaller body, so we put the seats on the farthest setting by cutting and welding. I knew very little about stick so we went out to the mountains and drove and drove. After I kind of got the hang of it we threw a 3 1/2″ lift and LED lights on. I thought I would hate the Jeep and nothing would compare to my Cherokee, BUT DAMN! Have just the original inline 6 in there now to make it roll and we’ve stopped there. But trust me more mods are coming soon! Now to how we got the Jeep, we named it Pumba (got the name from the tow hooks on the front and his ability to blow an exhaust off or ‘fart’). My father got this Jeep when I was about 10 for a pretty high price. It had holes and rust but my dad and I loved it. We got the Jeep from my dad’s close friend Martain who sadly passed. Pumba has gone to Jeepfest in Jasper, Georgia a total of three times. The last two times before this year it was on a stock lift and snow tires. My father loved to show Jeeps and could give ones with a 12-inch lift a run for their money. But as he is getting older he can’t fit in them or sit for a long time before cramping. So he got himself a rock buggy and I got my original first car.”

BUILD STATUS: Not complete

COLOR: Green (originally cheese yellow)
