Title: Project X
Post by: AV.NINE on April 06, 2015, 12:25:32 PM: I bought this jeep with 150,000kms on it about 5 years ago, just a nice little stocker:

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/3C54AE39-5003-44F0-A5C2-6D6079C645B5_zpsqbfz8lw8.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/3C54AE39-5003-44F0-A5C2-6D6079C645B5_zpsqbfz8lw8.jpg.html)

Then came the one tons (Dana 60 and 14 bolt, 5.38 gears, locked, coilovers, etc.) most important was the 75hp shot of nitrous on the stock 4.0L:

Raced in Canada, won some comps, it did well:

Then I rolled it and twisted the frame:

Post by: AV.NINE on April 06, 2015, 12:26:13 PM: So then I started re-building:

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/A1ADFF6F-982E-4B45-A492-5F82D934C5ED_zpshrvkdb1c.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/A1ADFF6F-982E-4B45-A492-5F82D934C5ED_zpshrvkdb1c.jpg.html)

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/2AAFAD79-FCBE-428E-93C7-D38E59530B63_zpsagfyatdl.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/2AAFAD79-FCBE-428E-93C7-D38E59530B63_zpsagfyatdl.jpg.html)

And threw in a 6.0L 4l80, np241, etc:

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/5799AA61-1B06-4331-9D80-559EBC880AA4_zpsh2rblyri.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/5799AA61-1B06-4331-9D80-559EBC880AA4_zpsh2rblyri.jpg.html)

And snakeskin green paint, cuz why not....

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/330ACD7B-8765-48AF-9F9C-404A850B4DFD_zps0fxape0z.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/330ACD7B-8765-48AF-9F9C-404A850B4DFD_zps0fxape0z.jpg.html)

Then rolled it 4 times in 2 races (sweet 2wd endo video from Busted Knuckle):

Post by: AV.NINE on April 06, 2015, 12:26:45 PM: Then naturally, decided more tube and bigger tires are in order. I borrowed a friends bender and got to work:

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/3FE6458B-1049-4CF3-9827-C4AC978D3C3D_zpskzswghyw.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/3FE6458B-1049-4CF3-9827-C4AC978D3C3D_zpskzswghyw.jpg.html)

Then decided I hate that design, and started again:

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/031C4E01-AFF7-4950-ADEC-E4AD5B6EB00F_zps31dg3nak.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/031C4E01-AFF7-4950-ADEC-E4AD5B6EB00F_zps31dg3nak.jpg.html)

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/52D6C812-AEC0-4609-958C-1D9D18B76C46_zpsd14ltysl.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/52D6C812-AEC0-4609-958C-1D9D18B76C46_zpsd14ltysl.jpg.html)

(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t201/av9inch/Offroad/EB5A2BEF-02B7-4F12-9780-04C998E571B3_zpszvvcqvgu.jpg) (http://s161.photobucket.com/user/av9inch/media/Offroad/EB5A2BEF-02B7-4F12-9780-04C998E571B3_zpszvvcqvgu.jpg.html)

This is as far as I have got so far. My first competition is at the end of may. Lots of work to do before then.

Post by: cjust on April 06, 2015, 01:19:27 PM: You have to be out of your mind crazy to build a wicked cage like that!!! I absolutely love the new design. Can't wait to see more progress!

I love where this is going... Hopefully the green paint gets laid on this skin again!
