I guess after seeing me not worry when my door hinge rubbed the sandstone makes this understandable. And yes J-trucks are awesome.

Oh and my wife is not thrilled but right now It's just an "experiment" I've already removed an inner fender to look into narrowing the front almost 18".
Absolutely. You treat your JK like it owes you money. I love it!
I love the idea of taking off the bed, shortening the wheelbase to like 105-110", throwing on some cheap 37's, welding up the diffs and just wheeling it.

It will be a little more in depth but that's sort of the idea.

I've got mis-matched gears right now and it needs steering and drivelines and a bunch of other stuff
As of right now I've already started hacking on the front end to narrow it and it looks like it won't be too bad. It helps that it's good quality steel that built this truck.

Yes and yes. I've wanted one of these trucks since I saw the one in Tremors.
Make it so.

Don't get your hopes too high about progress this will be slow and I will not be investing any money so for a while it's just going to be sheet metal work.

which welder do you have? Are you set up for gas?

It's a Lincoln Pro-mig 140 and all I'm missing is the bottle and mig wire for my gas setup. This bottle should be taken care of in a couple weeks though.

sweet. That should do the trick. I have a friend who restores VW busses and sells them for $60k+ and that's the setup he uses.

You already have one, I saw it. Don't be greedy.
F'real. Some people...

I was actually going to sell it to Davy a couple years ago and just never got around to working it all out. Too late now, my mind is made up and I've already done some cutting on the front end.
