The story: In October of 2001, we purchased our first Jeep - 1992 Jeep Wrangler Islander that we called "Izzy". Izzy was built for the intention of rock crawling with similar modifications as you'll see below. On October 1st, 2003 - Izzy was in an accident (on highway) and was totaled. We bought the rig back from the insurance company and began searching for another Jeep. In December 2003, we found another Jeep that we call "Izzy II". We spent the next winter months swapping parts, new parts, and some new ideas from the original Izzy onto Izzy II. The following information you will read, will be about the newest Izzy II modifications.
