The Vagillionaire Build

[skippy]

I drove this Jeep into the shop exactly one week ago yesterday, so far I have completed:

Plated unibody
raised gas tank a metric crap ton
fitted and welded the subframe
T case swap including swapping input shafts
pulled rear axle
14 bolt is in and linked up and done
cut rear wheel wells to hopefully clear 37s


My goal is to to get the front axle pulled and the new 60 in and linked up by this weekend. that leaves me 2 weeks to work through the small stuff before we leave for EJS

The work is done between 7-9 at night after work and 6 hour days on the weekends.

HOLY. CRAP. When you set out to do something, you don't screw around.

It turns out that's why his name is skippy. I always thought it was because he really liked peanut butter...

Seems I need to manage my time better. And build a shop, learn to weld, fabricate, etc...

There is too much reading in this thread and not enough pictures.

 

[skippy]

feel free to stop by and take some!!!

If I knew where it was I would. Its not at your house according to the previous pictures.

Do it, Troy! I want to see pics, and Ryan is awful at documenting stuff in his own build thread.

 

[skippy]

Someone text me tonight around 830 and remind me to take some pictures.... I am so busy working I totally forget to take pics

I also got the front axle out last night and pulled the rear 14 bolt back out to final weld and paint it. Since the subframe is already welded in place and the front axle brackets are already installed Its a matter of mocking up the front 60 and measuring for the radius arms I am hoping to have this thing a roller by the weekend

I finally found the WJ I helped my bud Dan build. It's probably too late, but some good ideas in here

Nice!
Here's what it progressed to...

On Joint Effort.

Are those 37's? Got any other pics? I spent a lot of time working on that thing.

 

[jeepin4x4james]

Those are 36's... My buddy bought it. It has since been flopped on the driver side and a bit worse for wear... I'll have to dig up more pics, all I had on my phone.

 

[I Lean]

There are now just as many pics of someone else's WJ in this thread as there are of Skippy's.

 

[N-Smooth]

I texted him tonight to remind him to take pics and he was all "blablabla I'm already home blablabla"

 

[skippy]

You text me at 930 not 830 like I requested

That was the blablabla part. Hey I was busy working on my Jeep at 8:30
