that is so bad ass! @hookandcanman

Thanks...there is still some things I'd like to do to it but lately I can't stop GASSing for {censored} I otherwise can't afford

I really want a jeep now! but I'm more a sports car fiend.

This is a guy from my local car club. Him and a couple buddies are union pipe fitters, they built this thing from the ground up out of their garage...This is probably one of the most badass rigs I've ever seen. It is truly amazing in person. He's got an 8.1L big block in it, Rockwell 2.5 tons (with 5 ton axles), four wheel steering, doubler transfer cases, and god knows what else...just check out the vid...

That's {censored}ing bad ass

If you're going to do it, go for the gold


Those Rockwells are insane There was a guy down here in Texas that put em on his Cherokee and tore his uniframe I'm guessing your pipe fitting buddies are a bit smarter than that dip{censored}.

[Rameumptom]

I'll have to scan in my images of my 75 and 85 CJ's. So much fun. Wish I hadn't sold them.

I am too, almost every car I've owned was a sports car of one type or another, but there is just something undeniably awesome about Jeeps

moreso than any other car, they are an extension of your personality

I want Rockwells so bad, there just is no cheap way to do it. Between the cost of the axles, and conversion peices, plus the mounting and suspension fab, I have not been able to figure out a way to do it for less than 4-5 grand. It'll happen eventually though...

I've seen 2 YJ's with Rockwells. They both made me stiff.

They'd twist that c channel yj frame QUICK!

What size tires you running? Grab a set of Early Bronco axles which are roughly the same width as stock, upgrade the front u-joints to the beefier modern versions, outboard your spring mounts, weld on some new perches/shock mounts and you should be good.

I've boxed and reinforced most of the frame already, after I repaired the rusty rear frame horns.

It's got 39.5 white trash specials (Buckshot Mudders) on it now. I'm probably gonna go down to 36's or so and pull the tub spacers ( {censored}ing hate those things). Havne't decided on exactly which tires yet.

It had already been "upgraded" by the PO when I got it for a song once he ran out of things to half ass and rig up on it. It's got good parts on it, they're just cobbled together. I very rarely drive it on the street, so I'm not concerned about keeping it street legal at all. .I was considering going with some full width D60's or something like that, but mostly just waiting for the right deal to come along.

It's got an EB 9 inch in the rear now, but it's showing it's age. Miraculously it's still running the D30 in the front. For some reason the PO rebuild the 30 with stout aftermarket axles and diff parts, so it's managed to hold on. Every time we take it out we place bets on when it's gonna grenade, and although it doesn't sound the best and the engagement slider has been welded in place:lol:, it's still rolling along. It's like a Jeep miracle.

I've upgraded the rear shock mounts to modified Ford F350 units, after numerous failures of the stock type.

My friend has a 95 YJ. Granted he tears it up, but that thing has 140k, and is on it's 3rd engine, 3rd tranny, and 4th transfer case. {censored} Jeeps.

Damn, you running that thing with a high pinion drop out?? Or you got those high angle cv's? I always had problems with the rear shaft on my CJ. Was like 12" long or some {censored} if I remember right.



and 39's on the D30 That's bad ass dude. I never broke mine either, but only ran 33's.


Anyway, hell yeah on the D60 idea. Full width ftw

[clay_finley]

I'm in. I've got a '93 YJ with 195k miles and the 4.0L inline (best engine known to man).

no high angle stuff, no CV's. I'm pretty sure the transfer case has been clocked a bit, cuz the skidplate has been notched, but it doesn't hang down any lower than the skid does. The wheelbase has been extended, but only by a few inches.

Have you seen the RockJock 60's? Thats a sexy {censored}ing setup, but alas, too expensive for my broke ass.

'02, they still made the 4.0 I think. Yours have the I6???

 

 

They put the I6 in em all the way up to the new JK model when they put the 3.8L in em. I have no clue why they put in the 3.8, except maybe to deal with fuel economy law changes?

 

The 4.0L was a tank, and yeah, it usually sounds like its about to die after you put more than 90k on it, but they keep going.

 

I worked at a Jeep dealer, now I work at a Chevy/ex-Hummer dealer. I miss Jeeps. Hummers suck so bad comparatively.

[ChihliDog]

In. My bone stock '01 Cherokee. Sure, the front brakes get annoying but no big deal to change the pads twice a year. 130k and runs like new. We did put wheels on it from a Wrangler, the original ones were crap and warped. These look better, anyway.

 

[eldercaddy]

Hmmm. I think my jeep is the toughest of all jeep that mentioned here. I am using it for 25 years until now. And I think it will be has many birth days. LOL

[Hardtail]

That's not a jeep, neither are the 4 door wranglers. Just saying, you'll never get a jeep wave in those.

 

 

Always hated Jeep people ... every time I see a jeep club wave makes me want to put him in the wall

[theAntihero]

My parents owned a 76 Cherokee when i was growing up, by far the biggest POS ive ever been around.

In the end my father sold it for $100 with catastophic issues. The guy that bought it ended up using it as a snow plow, and in the end literally rolled it of a mountain top.

What's wrong with the 4 doors Wrangler? I'm saving for one at the moment...

hey you know what, those 4 door chargers are really cool little vehicles that really carry on that name's legacy too (actually, 4 door or not, I can tell you the ones with the 5.7 are not too shabby )
