Thanks for viewing our video of this Custom 1964 Kaiser Jeep Forward Control M677 4 wheel drive restoration restomod that took over 5 years to build starting in 2017. The vehicle was found in Northern Alabama and was shipped up to our restoration facility in Rutland, Massachusetts. The vehicle is based off a forward control Jeep FC170 & FC150 but is a double cab that was a factory custom order for the Marines and Navy and was about 400 ever built which makes this vehicle extremely rare, today only about 50 known to existence. The original drivetrain was a Cerlist 3 cylinder supercharged Diesel engine with about 80 horse power that was a complete failure but later in its life was pulled out I believe in the 1980's and a Ford 6 cylinder was installed out of a Ford Maverick. We installed a 4.0L Jeep Fuel injected 6 cylinder engine with automatic transmission out of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee as well as the entire drive train. The vehicle has upgraded Dana axles front & rear with disc brakes, Performance header with ceramic coated custom exhaust system, aluminum radiator mounted in the bed, Lifted about 4 inches over stock 3 link front coil suspension, period correct Rancho shocks, Electric power steering, LED Headlights, Custom bumpers with a Warn 8274 Winch up front, Bfgoodrich Mud Terrain tires with Detroit steel wheels. The body was left with its natural patina paint but was a very rusty candidate to start with with over 1 year of metal work. The interior was completely restored with distressed brown leather, custom dash with Autometer gauges, F150 rear foldup bench seat, and color matched raptor lined floor for a durable finish. The M677 is setup for offroading and overlanding with its custom bed mounted tent setup from Overland vehicle systems.
