American Racing polished aluminum 15-inch wheels with manual-locking front hubs are wrapped in 33" x 12.50" BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A raised-white-letter tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is fitted with Nutmeg vinyl high-back bucket seats up front and a bench in the rear, matched to the door panels, upper dash, center console, and Rhino Linings flooring material.

Power is directed to all four wheels via a floor-shifted five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The chassis benefits from a four-inch suspension lift and uses solid front and rear axles. Steering is power-assisted.
