My New (to me) Jeep build thread
So I just picked up this little treasure, got it from the neighbors garage sale 100% stock in great shape for $1.50.

My brother had a shop full of spare parts so I got to work. Sorry for the crummy pictures, camera was acting up

Here it is in its glorious unmolested form



Crappy stock flex = :thumbsdown:



Got together some lift components and some bigger meats



Lift installed with rollers



new meat



Surious traction



Wheeled it this way for a few minutes and kept breakin crap so I picked up a deuce n a half CHEAP ($Free.99 :smokin: )



BEEF!!!!



Jeep on jackstands, kinda looks like Mykes junk :f2:



New axles and bigger lift read to roll under it



New axles and mega lift on



Old junk, will be in the for sale section soon



Put back together



Humpin the deuce

Re: My New (to me) Jeep build thread
Oops... maybe its a little TO tall



I had a hard time finding rimz/tires to fit those axles, so once again I had to go bigger, found a sweet deal on some k'nex axles with a sweet wheel/tire combo



Stretched it a few MM while I was at it



Testin out my new clearance



Nice departure angle



Still lousy flex



Tried to add some cage protection but couldn't find the right parts



Kinda copied Avanteone's idea and put a cooler on the back



Got some protection up front



I realized I needed some more power to turn these tires, so I threw a big block motor in with a blower and NOS



Lookin purty good



Happy Owner



Was dancing on the roof, thinking about jumping off, but then I remembered what happened to Horus



Time for some tasty treats! WOOOOO

I have a legit chopped lego Jeep I made when I was a kid, it also has actual springs in the axles...so I can flex it. hahaha

flexing is over rated when you have big mudders
