I will get some better pics in the morning .It's coming out pretty good for a old woods jeep.

[K-Town Quad Boy 08]

what size lift is on it.
and what motor is in it?

[sparkplug01]

It has a 304 with the edelbrock performer intake and 650 carb mild cam for torque .It has a spring over axle lift with 4.5 inch super lift springs.so it's right at 8 1/2 inches right now.next week my daystar 1" body mounts come in it will have 9 1/2.When finished it will be sitting on a set of 40 gound hawgs.

[big-daddy]

thats a bad angle on that rear driveshaft, need to lower the transfer case cover and shim the rear axle.

[sparkplug01]

It not hooked up yet.I'm waiting on a transfer case drop kit and I have a cv axle that will go in it.

[Young Gun]

Thats gonna look badass on 40's

[sparkplug01]

I hope it does i have a load of time in it.but right now Just trying to find all the parts I need to get it finished .

[qt314nfla]

wow jody it looks great.  you and the family are going to have a blast in that!! 

[sparkplug01]

Ya i hope so.as soon as I can get this one finished I am going to start looking for another one for kari.and do it the same just with a hard top.Still need to get the tires for this one.If you know anyone looking for a nice set of 33x12.50 tell them to call me

[EigerGuy]

nice looking jeep im building a car now and a jeep seems like a nice mud project :ThumbsUp.gif

[blupits04]

ya my next project will be a 59 chevy apache pro street.

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

 She is movng along very nice!!! Great Job!!!

[blupits04]

thanks scott

[Justbilly]

Looks great!  For a simple woods jeep, consider replacing the running gear with some 1/2 ford front and rear.

Little less Snap Crackle POP! when you finally have to spin those tires.

[blupits04]

1/2 ton isn't much better than whats in it now.If I swap axles it will either be to 1 ton or get me another set of 2 1/2 ton rockwells like my last toy had.If you drive it right you want break axles anyway.I have never broke one yet,and have always played pretty hard with them.

[Justbilly]

I agree. I run 2.5's and 70/60's on my past and present "projects"
Was just suggesting, for the light weight 9" and 44, is a good combo for just a woods cruiser.

[blupits04]

ya it is.but if I go all out it will be 2.5 i have a friend that is getting with his buddy at trucksgonewild  finding out about the military for me right now.thanks

[retiredw3]

Man,

   That's going to be a mean machine.I love jeeps.I have an 06 Wrangler I bought new.I also pull my Sportsman 400 4x4 on a 4x8 trailer with it.

[blupits04]

I've had a bunch of jeeps i'm just fond of the cj-5's.When this one is finished I will buy a new tub for it and start work on a new tub to make this one like new again.but right now it will be just a woods jeep to ride around in.That way my diesel stays nice.

[Hawgin4x4]

when you have it apart coat your whole frame with por 15..it will help prevent the rust..we have done it on a bunch of show trucks..it looks good because its black..


i gator-guarded the interior of my sammy..look awesome..if you do that and dont like the roughness of it look at raptor liner..

[blupits04]

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

 I love it!!! The roll bar ROCKS!!!  I WANT ONE

[blupits04]

Just give me a call any time.that was just a fast job I run out of metal and haven't had time to get anymore.As you can see I still haven't got the steering or breaks hooked up yet.I'm back to working 7 days a week for a while but it's not bad to all be done at home with no help.If you want a roll bar call me I'll hook you up with a better looking one thank this one.see ya Jody

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

10-4 Did you get the PM about the Cherokee?

[blupits04]

Ya we already had one of those about 2 years ago.Hated it.Just looking for something bigger.We'll keep saving and one will pop up some time.You know how hard it is to please a woman.lol Thanks scott

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

 Sent ya a email about the expedition.

[blupits04]

Ya I tried to get kari to come get it today but she dont want to put that much and her truck on getting it.I dont know.she only wants to put up 1500 to 2000 plus the truck.If  you could get it at 2000 plus tax tag and title she would already be down there.

[SWAMP_DONKEY]

 Sorry Brother If I could I would have already done it. As it is I was putting 6k in your trade even though it is a stick.

[blupits04]

new pic with the whole inside and roll bar after the gator gaurd.still long ways to finish though.

[EigerGuy]

looks great i hope when i build my jeep it will come close in comparison to this one

[Mudneck]

Nice

I got the Jeep bug as well.

Just bought 2

[blupits04]

Good luck I also bought 2 jeeps when I started this one .then I parted the other one out and have made enough money off it I have paid for both jeeps and just about built this whole jeep off my profits.I now have around $1200 out of pocket in it and almost done.working and 4 wheel disk brakes right now and getting the power brakes all in so people will quit telling me I have wires hanging.I need brakes ,fuel lines,exhaust put on,and wire the motor and light back up and we will be riding.Just dont have time to work on it much working 7 days a week and T-ball 4 days a week in the evenings.but one day I will have it done till I get 1 ton for it.

[yfz450psycho]

NICE PROJECT GOOD LUCK POST SOME FINISHED PICS

[blupits04]

I will post more pics soon.I have been working 7 days a week so little time for the jeep and I have T-ball 6 days a week now.but I also have a nice 53 willys I just picked up for a friend till he can get the money for it.Has the F head motor and I drove it home for $700 very nice body,little rust but not bad for a 55 year old jeep.I'll get pics of it soon to.
