| Class 2 hard body jeep
Here is the start of my class 2 build. Aluminum homebrew chassis with a custom skid made for my transfer case from Rob at SMW. Body is a new bright 4 door made 2 look like a brute compliments of the purptr8r. Also painted by him. I made a forward mount motor plate to work with my chasis. Running currie axles in grey with grib fab lockers and od/ud gears, locked up rear shafts, vanquish vvds. Vanquish links, supershafty red velvet shocks, holmes servo, holmes br mini, brood motor, wild boar hd shafts, vanquish methods with orange omf rings, and wrapped with voodoo klr's. I am gonna run the comp series bumper from SCALERFAB and there servo winch. "GOD SPEED" Last edited by nerby149; 02-10-2016 at 07:33 PM. |

Well, hasn't been a update in a long while, last night with the help of Dana (dna4engr) & Derek (Superdrty) got the lights all wired up in truck, still have to clean them up and mount them to body, also was able to order a spare vanquish wheel witch will be here tomorrow, for anyone that didn't know you could by just one, just put in your notes at the end of order you only want 1 and they will refund you for the 2nd one. Also got my custom roof rack from scalerfab, turned out awesome with the integrated light bar mount. Will post pics later today. "GOD SPEED" |

I can't believe this thread doesn't have more comments. Awesome build. Very nice custom setup on the homebrew chassis. I had been wanting to see a front motor mount in that chassis. Really impressive build. Keep it going!

| Re: Class 2 hard body jeep The forward mount on this truck took a lot of time to be able to get it to work with cms and front servo winch and leave the 4 link setup, lots of trial and error, I do however on another truck with my carbon homebrew chassis have the toyzuki forward motor mount and only had to add 1 hole to my chassis to make it work.

Nerb, great set up. Something is a tad off IMO. I have a suggestion. Stretch the front axle forward a tad and trim the fenders in just a bit. The fenders look to square lol. Trim them in and end them with a slight angle or round them. I prefer an angle. I think these 2 simple things would make her look the part. Otherwise great job my brother |
