build thread

I joined the GXOR family . I picked up my 2008 Lexus GX470 in Dallas, TX and brought it back home to Oklahoma City, OK. Details of the rig: -130,000 miles -TB/WP, Front Brakes, Radiator, and Alternator were all replaced within the past 5K miles. (Update: TB/WP done incorrectly, had to have it...

Well here goes my attempt a build thread of sorts, I've work on a lot of jeeps but never have posted up much for them. Long story with different FSJs and flatfenders;) involved lead me to building my daily instead. Bought this 85 Wagoneer almost 8 years ago and been driving it to work ever since...

Since we have all been shut in, I finally started working on my BJ73 that I got last year. I figured I would add a build thread here (I started in March) for some updates on the newest addition to our stable. It is a 1987 BJ73 from the the windshield registration and license plates it looks...

Disclaimer: not a real taco cart. So here goes. I picked up this Tacoma from TRD270 last year and intended to use it as a mountain trail truck with the occasional side duty of getting groceries. But, I just couldn't leave well enough alone. Project goals: not-so obvious solid axle swap on...

Well first of all, I'm brand new to this forum and brand new to the willys jeeps. I've always been into xjs and zjs. I decided I was ready to build something with a frame for once and a willys mb crawler has been my dream jeep for a while, so I sold my xj and started acquiring parts. I found a...

I've been spending a lot of time of the jeep lately and thought I ought to post some pics. Here's a pic of the jeep as it was before my ambitions got a hold of me. First.....not pictured. I ditched the fake beadlocks and swapped the ol 35's for some 37's and alloy rims. Then I...

I've wanted a little Flatfender for a LONG time, I have probably looked at 30+ over the years but haven't been able to find the right one, at the right price and in the right condition. Well, that all changed last week when a co-worker mentioned that he knew a guy that had a tub and some other...

Picked up a 01 TJ chassis a few weeks ago. It had been mostly parted out and was basically a tub, frame and engine. Picked up the missing body parts, Poison Spider fenders, sliders and corners, transmission, skid plate etc and decided on 60's. Already had a Super Duty60 with 5:38's and A ARB...

Howdy fellow off-roaders! I've always enjoyed building and driving Jeeps. Over the years have built several CJ's, YJ's, TJ's, JK's, XJ's and MJ's. However, my love has always been J-10 Honcho's. I love the desert, and off road racing, especially vintage (1980's). So, I have built a 83 Honcho...

got the techs home along with some new shoes. now to get them installed and do the 12 valve swap.

Well I finally got started on the new buggy

Greetings fellow RME members! I would like to introduce my Jeep: I purchased the Jeep July 18th, 2014 with 16 miles on the odometer. This is the first new vehicle I have owned, and has proven to be wonderfully fun and comfortable to cruise around in both on and off road. I look forward to...

Well the time has come and I have finally pushed myself to build a buggy. I've been wanting to build one for years so I finally pulled the trigger. Not to mention that my wonderful wife pushed me to do it as well. This will be a rec wheeler with the capabilities to race when I want to. Probably...

Now that I sold my last buggy it's time to get the new one done. It's wheelin season here in St Geoege. With Devin at the reins on the build we will see how fast we can hit the trails. For the most part everything we need to finish the build is sitting there waiting to be installed. Sent...

So after daily driving the JK for a few years Heather decided that she wanted a car again so we sold the JK picked her up a nice BMW and got her a nice 2004 TJ to wheel. Since I already have my new Promod buggy to build This will be a quick and easy build and nothing to extreme so here is the...

I'm swapping a cummins into a 1988 GMC 1 ton crew cab dually. Im also converting it to single rear wheel. However i'm already halfway through this project so Ill help get you caught up. I had my eye on a old gmc that belonged to a rancher friend of mine. I asked if he would consider selling it...

I've decided its ok to justify a single seat buggy since I own a 2 seat buggy already. I don't have many parts so it will take awhile gathering all the little things. I only had 200' of DOM, 14B, smb 350(mock up), and a broken turbo 350 when i started this. The plan. A new project. Need 14 b...

So I thought I would start a build thread. The Willys was advertised on KSL as a 1948 but it is actually a 1951 CJ3A. There are several numbers on the Willys I found: Tag: 451-GB1 28496 Engine by Water Pump: 4LR190690 Engine embossed on block: 908756*15, the star is actually one dot in the...
