And ao it begins.
I've had this jeep in the moth ball for over 5 years.
finally just said that's enough time
it's gonna be a monster 1 ton custom build.
I'm going to start off posting some pics of how it's all starting.
it's a bittersweet thing. I started off paying a dude some serious cash $25K to do a bunch of work. He ripped me off thus being in the moth ball for the last 5 years.

So now it's down to the frame and being completely done but in a professional shop in Phx AZ.
So here it is now with a new Moto Bilt Vack Half Kit, and a Front Half Kit.
Along with the Belly Plate and 4 way Triangulation suspension.

Cute pup! I assume she will be taking care of any welds on the underside given her position... lol

Cool project and ready to see it unfold. Always room for more TJs around here 👍

Id have to agree, plenty of room for more Tj builds. Njce frame yoir starting with. I see alot of potential here. Shitty that the other shop screwed you over. These builds take enough money and time with out shady people doin shady things. Glad its out of moth balls and in the hands of someone who can provide you with quality work.

This is cool! Big fan of traditional, older short wheelbase, simple Jeeps.
Need much more TJ, YJ, CJ builds here.

Thanks...
I'm gonna deck this one out to the proverbial 9's!!!
It will be a very capable rock climbing machine. Dropping in a GM big block 454.
With ECGS Axles front & back. There won't be much left of the Original Jeep.
 
I would suggest drilling a couple of drain holes on the bottom at the lowest points of the frame, the primary reason they rust out there.

A great idea....
That will help the water drain out after driving in a creek or river..

This is going to be nice, the axles look really well done
ECGS did a fantastic job. You should see how massive the rear Axles are. These guys really do stellar work. I almost wanted to make them into 2 separate coffee tables with glass tops. Just because they are like Art!
