Green Hell...the Never Ending Project

Ok so far so good, been a little more than 6 month with this set-up, it’s working pretty well. I did about 35-40 wheeling trip and no major issu. 1 u-joint in the rear, a new ps pump, a small repair on the frame and o lot af burned gaz. I’m now running a Spartan in the front and I love it. Now I hope I wont start breaking axle.

So the project for 2013 are:
Spare tire and carrier with a new bumper
Side steps (rock slider )
And maybe a E-locker in the rear.
Costum rear flare

 

Here a little update, new rear bumper with corn protection, also i built a fix hd tire carrier.

 

Nice! I've really enjoyed your build.

 

little flex situation

You can also see the side-step i made last week end
There also the tire carrier that's been made

 

Looking good johneyboy.

 

Ok after one year off hard wheeling time to think about swapping a new frame. I've repaired it 3 time in last 3 month and this weekend while looking under it i found tha frame was breakingoff in the middle. So a friend a mine was having a costum built frame that was originaly made for a Willys using the same suspension set=up as me. I just need to add a 7 inch of lenght on it and it will be perfect for my jeep. My girlfriend want to get involve this time in the built so i will this time i will post more picture. For the moment i have this from yesterday.

 

Started to work on the frame yesterday.








Girlfriend sayshe want to pass more time with me, she ended with a grinder in her hand.

 

Ok yesterday finished stripping the old frame







Here's all the part i'll keep to swap over the new frame

 

Man, you are ambitious. My last build started off as a simple frame swap, 2 1/2 years later I was done.

 

yes, but the new frame has been buit for war (it's was originaly built for a willys with coil spring).

Now my girlfriend is working with me si i'll post more picture than last year.

 

Saturday progress.







Front arm bracket are spot weld for the moment.

 

Rolling chassis

 

Finished welding and grinding

 

Looks good. Do you need to use a fishplate at the joints where you added length to the frame? I have seen that done before.

 

Hum it could be a good idea, but the guy's who welded the frame wasn't on his first one and he don't think i need some.

 

Yesterday i starter working on the engine mount...one is done the other i need another bushing i had a hard time trying to get it in the tube but finished by bending it so it's not usable.

 

Looks good johneyboy. You are making a lot of progress already.
