Ed Fisher of Hyde Park, Utah, is at it again. You've seen some of his other Jeeps in these pages, as his projects are always interesting. Ed recently called and told us he was buying a salvaged JK to build that had a small ding on the passenger side. Our curiosity about why a JK with a "small ding" in the side would be salvage was satisfied when the Jeep arrived. The passenger side was caved in from the rear of the front door back. Not to worry, Wolford Collision Repair in Logan, Utah, quickly had the Wrangler back to perfect condition.
Ed had Mount Logan Off-Road do the rest of the work and ended up with an exceptional JK Unlimited. He's taken it to Moab a number of times and reports it works the best of any Jeep he's owned. During the photo shoot, the JK performed very well and impressed us. This Jeep has turned out to be one of those projects where all the parts work together to create a special vehicle. The photos tell the story.
 Ed decided to keep the 3.8L...  Ed decided to keep the 3.8L V-6, but warmed it up with a True Flow intake, JBA headers, and a Rancho JK exhaust system. The stock JK power steering pump runs a PSC ram assist. |  Mount Logan built the custom...  Mount Logan built the custom frontend featuring a Currie RockJock high-pinion 60 center and Dynatrac outers. The RockJock center features 5.38 Sierra gears and an Eaton Detroit Locker. Mount Logan fabricated the aluminum tie rod and drag link. The PSC ram is mounted above the tie rod. A Teraflex adjustable track bar is behind the drag link. |  The Currie RockJock 60 high-pinion...  The Currie RockJock 60 high-pinion rear end has 5.38 Sierra gears and an Eaton Detroit Locker. Taking a page from Rancho Suspension’s book, Mount Logan ran the triangulated upper control arms back, while the long lower arms go forward. We raised our eyebrows seeing this configuration thinking of the extreme pinion angles encountered during axle movement, but in this application, the JK works great. We might even try a JK project with this design some day. |

Tom Wood's Custom Driveshafts built the front and rear CV propshafts. |  The 2.5-inch Sway-A-Way air...  The 2.5-inch Sway-A-Way air shocks make for a clean installation and work well. Currie AntiRock swaybars front and rear are adjustable and work, on-and off-road. |  Mount Logan built the long...  Mount Logan built the long control arms using Currie Johnny Joint flex joints front and rear. |
