my new jeep |
Please tell me you are going to restore it to original and not put some massive tires on it. |
sorry for the small cell phone picture. this is the motor im gonna put in it. a chevy 383, from dads sprint car that is no longer legal at the track because of new engine mod rules. :roll: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...lla1/my383.jpg |

too late :lol:. not that big 35's maybe a little bigger. frames gettin boxed, bodies gettin restored, bucket seats, and the motor and trans are gettin pulled because they dont work, im keepin the axles the way they are. |
Why would you put big tires under a willys is beyond me... If you want to go rock crawl, get a newer jeep that is better. Willys should be restored. And imo, if you were going to put big (er) tires on it, dont go above 35. I still say you should restore it. Oh and what axles are on it now? I dont know, but i seriously doubt they would hold up to a 35 or bigger on any real wheeling. |
i just got it 3 days ago i havent fully looked it over. but i do know its all original. my dad has a 1953 willys jeep frame and running gear with a fiberglass body. he has 38" tsl sx's on his stock axles. he also has a chevy 350, and the stock 3 speed. |
Do you have any pics of his? and has he ever wheeled it? |

no and yes. he lives in eastern washington rite now. id ask him to text me some pics but he has an old cell phone. i will search through my photos and see if i can find a decent picture of it. |
sweet! its yours, do what you want with it! :D |
fordzilla-jeep-chevy i dont get it?:shock: |
Let me know how those axles live up to that 383 and 35's:roll: Plus, the 4 wheel 9" drum brakes will be sweet too! But to give you an example of a cool willys build that is cheap AND reliable, my buddy came up with this recipe: scout II chassis shortened 24" toyota axles, welded diffs and 4.10s homemade high steer toyota 22r, 5speed, and toy t case 36" swampers full cage fuel cell, etc. 4 link rear with coils He built the whole thing for about $2500 and it follows my BUILT early bronco everywhere, plus its street legal and rarely breaks parts. You could sell that 383 and build the whole jeep easily;-) |

2 years ago i had a 1978 ford ranger 2wd. i took the bed off and put tires off the front of a 4x4 tractor. (i do not know the size of them). and the local orv park use to 4x4 mud drags every weekend. since no bed and tractor tires i would throw mud futher than the truck would go. long storie short everyone started callin my "fordzilla the crowd thrilla" :roll: and yes i know there was a guy on that tv show carpacolypse that had that one guy witht he same nickname. but i didnt come up with it. |
