I like it. Looks like it was done right.
It's up here in Canada, eh. Just a few hundred miles west of me. Been advertised for sale for probably over a year now.
Would that be a lift or an Eagle drive train under it.

The leaf spring up forward is visible. It cannot be an Eagle IFS. They likely took a Scout or CJ frame and sat the body down on top of it.
I found the expired for sale ad. It didn't mention what frame was under it, but did say "quadratrac".
Oh, and it's powered by a GM drivetrain (Olds 350 and TH400).
Olds 350 is a great engine. Especially for offroad, since it makes more torque sooner than a Chevy 350. But as pretty as the car is, I wouldn't want to ruin it by taking it off road.

Where is that? In Cranbrook?
Way out west in Nanaimo.
It's probably a CJ7 frame. It could also be a shortened Wagoneer or J10 frame.
A TH400 Quadratrac is the Jeep drivetrain used in FSJ's and a few CJ7's '79 and '78. It is an AMC bellhousing, GM TH400 guts, and a strange Chysler 2WD outpat shaft that sticks way out specifically to mate to a Borg Warner full time transfer case. The rear bolt pattern was the same as any other TH400, but it was clocked differently. The whole casting appears warped to one side.
Some other Jeeps used GM TH400s with BOP to AMC adaptor pieces and a rear texas pattern adaptor, different output shaft, and Dana20. The AMC TH400 is a completely different casting only ever used with that specific transfer case.

If it has 6 bolt wheels, it may be from a J10, Wagoneer, or FS Cherokee. If 5 bolt, probably CJ.
Given the chosen drivetrain it's probably from a pre '71 Wagoneer. They used to have Buick 350s and those parts would be needed to put in the Olds motor. Only year TH400 trans that would hook to the Olds motor (with the earlier BOP adapter ring) was '73 that came stock with a quadratrac. (first year of quadratrac and last year of Buick nailhead TH400 in Jeeps)
I have one of those transmissions and QT (but I have only the AMC and Nash 327 adapter rings for it) but it's in my core for sale pile.
I saw a not quite finished rambler wagon like this on ebay a long time ago. It reminded me of a lifted Eagle, pretty cool looking.
