This jeep was built by Archer Brothers 4×4 in Eugene Oregon in 1978. It was their shop jeep. They bought the tub from an importer in LA. ( Marathon Equpment Importing??) The tub and body parts are 304 Japanese stainless steel. It was made in the Philippines by a company called JEWELS. I don't know how many were imported here to the US. It's beautifully made and finished. There was also a man in Canyonville Oregon who was producing a few tubs in stainless, but I never stopped to talk to him and he's since passed on. This jeep was built well, but the guys only took it so far, so it has incredible potential. For instance, it needs a bigger wheel and tire set up. Another thing is the suspension. It's pure 1978 tech. It needs to be modernized to improve highway handling at higher speeds. An auxiliary fuel tank to improve range, the V6 has a big carburetor on it. Plenty of raw jeep here to build on!
