Well it’s been quite some time & the Jeep has since been sold to one of our good friends! It is awesome that it has stayed within our group. It made one trip to Drummond with us this past spring where our Buddy officially caught the bug!!!!
Needless to say this is where the Green Latrine would be transformed into what he is now.
Here is the Build up of what is now know as STKYGRN!!!
We started with a full strip down of the interior.
That’s when we found out just how bad the tub was...
so we then began to cut out and replace with new sheet metal. Man I hate body work
We used a liner called ROC-it I believe to seal everything back up
We then started to work on the armor.
Next was time to build/weld the cage! One of my favorite parts!
Next we installed the rear & front bumpers we made slight modifications to the front

then the real cool stuff showed up!!! ECGS HP60 & COMP 14bolt!!!
then we began to truss both front & rear with Artec Industries kits!
then it was time for the custom full-hydro ram&skid to be built an welded up!
we then started on the rear suspension.

Wheels & tires showed up and went on!
We then did a motor mount lift and build the orbital mount for the hydro system
Then came the front hi-lines & stretch mini boat sides & flak armor next was the inner front fenders
the chassis was painted and ready for driveshafts.
we then fit the full aluminum top and soft top

Very cool Jeep. I would like to know more details. Especially who's parts you used. My Jeeps are both older short wheelbase Jeeps and that is what I'm interested in. I'm seriously considering stripping my YJ, and building a full coilover conversion.
I really like GenRight, except for the cost. Would be great if there is some American made alternatives.
I used Barnes, and M.O.R.E. parts for the spring over conversion. Plus shop fabricated parts.

We we returned from D.I. We quickly got back in the shop and tore down to get everything to powder coated!!
then we decided to hit the entire tub inside and out with the ROC-IT liner again
it was then time for finally assembly
And here we are the final product of this phase lol!!! Please welcome STKYGRN!!
.
Well here are the stats... 02 TJ w/4.0L, auto & 3.8.1 atlas. Running an Artec parallel lower,triangulated upper 4link setup w/1 7/8” heim joints & 2” .250w link arms, w/14” ORI’s on all 4 corners w piggybacks up front. ECGS HP 60 up front with 5.38s and an ARB, out back is the BIG DAWG ECGS comp shaved 14 bolt with a spool. It’s running on KMC Grenade 17x9s wrapped in 42x14r17 Irok bias plys! Full GenRight catalog lol(but for real not joking). GenRight full carbon fiber hood,Lux rock lights, Warn 9.5 cti w/synthetic rope, Novak conversion Rad & electric fan combo. SwitchPros 12 switch kit. GenRight Alien crawler tank.

I CANNOT take all the credit on this build.... Much appreciation goes out to Elroy231 & STKYGRN’s owner & my Father(Albino Gorilla YJ) for all their help & support along the way! There is NO way I could have pulled this build off in the short amount of time we did. We started 8/25/20 and finished 11/27/20 with a 1week test & tune trip & 2 full weeks of down time awaiting parts. Once again it could not have happen without you all! You guys rock [emoji120][emoji1306][emoji482]
