Out with the old (most of the jeep is gone)

Today my old jeep body, frame, and roll cage left on a trailer bound for Kansas. The new will be the Jim’s Garage chassis which should be here at the end of January. Look at how empty the garage looks!

Teardown time!

I’ve finally decided that I’ve gone as far as I can with the full body and original Jeep frame. I started disassembling the Jeep so I can start building a tube chassis onto which I’ll put the same drivetrain, suspension and axles. First I pulled the hood and fenders, then removed all of the wiring and the dash.

Pretty good street rod look going in the picture below :)

Then we pulled the body tub off .

Then I pulled the transfer case, transmission and engine.

And this is what someone needs to buy, along with the tub and roll cage. A one of a kind Jeep frame, complete with all four-link brackets attached. Engine mounts for SB Chevy, and a custom exhaust from manifolds to the back of the jeep.

Trip to the Cliffs, Nov 19th, 2011 – Part 2

Last post was the pictures, and this is one is for the videos. I had forgotten my gopro camera on this trip, so everything you see was shot from cell phones. Not the greatest quality but it did work. I made a video of each rig that was on the trip, just pieced together clips from the day. I think the two funniest parts are Scott moving a tree off the trail (by ramming it with his jeep) and half way through my video, I put my jeep on its side. The back-story is that we had watched a side-by-side (UTV) run up and down the hill and he flopped it on its side at least once. I didn’t want to be outdone.

I was awoken early on Saturday by a text from Scott saying there was no waffle maker. I thought it was a joke as I had asked the night manager when we checked in if they had a waffle maker. … Continue reading
