Rick Russell has built his ultimate 4x4 -- ALL from aftermarket parts. The
"AJ-8" (Aftermarket
Jeep) is an aluminum bodied
Bobbed-Scrambler for street and trail. It basically has
the wheelbase of his CJ-6, but with late model doors and fenders. This AJ8
is set up for rugged trail riding, not extreme
rock crawling. This is the type of vehicle that can be driven from Los
Angeles to Moab for a trail ride through Pritchett Canyon Trail. The cab is
air-conditioned and the suspension is set up to provide off road performance
and a comfortable ride at highway speeds; thus making it a versatile vehicle
for camping, fishing or exploring remote roads. This vehicle
received its final assembly during the 2003 Easter
Jeep Safari in Moab.
