Kevin Durborow's 1991 Wrangler Kevin Durborow's 1991 Wrangler Kevin Durborow's 1991 Wrangler Kevin Durborow's 1991 Wrangler

Kevin Durborow's 1991 Wrangler "Suny K"

"How to start...well, two-and-a-half years ago, Suny was just a little stocker. After three lift kits and three sets of tires, it now rides on a Rubicon Express SOA conversion with factory rear springs at all four corners. The rear is buggied and has a custom rear shock set up. Rancho RS9012 in the front and 9010 in the rear. The tire of choice is BFG muds on Rockcrawlers. A Ramsey 8000 and a Lock Rite up front is good enough for me. Enough Talk, Let's Go Wheeeeeel!" - Kevin

CLUBS: PA Jeeps, Blue Mountain Jeep Alliance, The Jeep Registry, United Four Wheel Drive Ass., and Mid Alantic Four Wheel Drive Ass.

Jeep friends to look for: Kyle Butcher's "Wildly Impractical", Anita Calhoun's "Nita's Jeep", and coming soon, Seth Brendal's "Pea-J".
