Garage built cj 4-door

[Bart]

It's looking great. You are building the rig I've been thinking about for years. Glad to see it moving along like that. You've done a great job making it look proportional. Nice, very nice.

yes I am using the mag run flats thanks for your reply I Did a lot of research and measuring and figured it out who would have thought 6 hours to mount 4 tires but its done and I appreciate all of the input I'm getting

THAKS ALL

This thing is sweet! I love the idea of a long cj with a small block and big tires.

couple more pics messing around with a rear stinger sure makes it look long but i think it fits thought id use it for my hi lift tool box and ice chest

Thanks for sharing!

love the jeep great idea and I really like the front tube fenders and the pitbulls. Looks awesome, I guess just trails only rig huh? I may have missed but what kind of power are you going to have? sweet rig, like it better than the new ones.

 

[cj14]

Thank you It has a tbi 350 sm465 203/Ford205 with 513s should do well had a buggy started to miss being able to drive to the trail then drive home

Here are some pics shock towers steering gear and one of the seat mounts and the added floor still just ruffed in but it will work to test almost together hope to test it on Saturday

Well pulled her out of the garage tonight took it around the block then parked on my sons truck to start measuring clearances. Couple of things to finish up but all an all I'm very pleased with it. Taking her to Reno Rocks June 16/17 then on the 19Th heading to Rubicon for fathers day weekend. So here's some pics

That thing is awesome, I love the wheelbase and interior room! Looks like the perfect balance of being a family rig & hardcore trail rig! Nice work, can't wait to hear how it works on the trail.

That stretched FJ40 isn't bad either...

 

[cheepin]

Love it!I also like the stretched FJ.

bump stopped the rear added an1.5 inch steering assist ram made all the difference now sitting still at idle i can turn the wheels lock to lock the wheels stay were i point them when I'm in the rocks now

I don't know how i have missed out on this build. I just went through the whole thread, this thing is awesome. Welcome to the site as well. I can't wait to see more.

Looks awesome! Congrats!

Hindsight being 20/20 would you do it again? are you happy with the results? I have 2 old jeepsters that I want to "splice" together and wonder what you would do differently?

My plan is... SBC\700r4, full cage, D44 front and rear runing 35" tires. I have it down to the frame now, needs brake lines, fuel lines, all new floors, all the wiring.... figured now would be the time to do it if ever. I want a rig that has room for the family and gear, can drive to the trails and tear it up off road....

 

[cj14]

Well went to Rubicon with my kids and there familys for fathers day Was a wonderfull weekend All the rigs did very well the jeep amased me though for its initial run Still open in the front Wewent from Tahoma to Buck Island and back with no problems Heres some pics

very cool build.

 

[cj14]

yes swoop69 i would not hesitate i love it not one single 3 point turn on the con the 125 inch wheel base had me scared after a 106 inch buggy its a cadillac and evidently a head turner got lots of compliments

 

[cj14]

whoops some of the pics didn't load

Thanks. I will start a build thread once I get going on this. I got my engine running this weekend. no exhaust, just stock manifolds.... nice and loud...

here is a photoshopped idea of what I am after. I like how your second set of doors is not full width, I think I will do something similar....
