I love the advances of the rebuild, but that old body looked so damn cool all beat up. Nothing else like that here.

I'm running a 12" WB and it looks fine to me.

Don't worry, I already have a good start on the new body

Take a look:

We had a booth set-up at a local Jeep show and This is the damage after just 2 days of wheeling

In all the truck ran great with the new tranny set-up and the CG didn't seem to move at all. it's just as stable as before but with a lot more ground clearance. The only issue I had was that I kept twisting the drive shaft yoke off the tranny. It was just too much torque for one DS. fortunately one of the guys at the show had a steel DS and that fixed the problem.

Now next item is a winch

the T-case you built is awesome, as well as the suspension setup. overall a very cool truck

you've inspired me to build something and then beat the sh*t out of it, seems very liberating. I've always been to careful with my rigs

karlos · 08-06-2008, 02:06 PM

Realistic carnage, I love it! Nice job on the rebuild!

51WillysJeep · 08-07-2008, 06:23 PM

Is all I can say..!!!!!!

Brainstain · 11-13-2008, 08:28 AM

Damn, that is too awesome. Could some sliders be in the future?

SlickRockSpider · 11-13-2008, 10:18 AM

How long does it take you to make another body. I love the carnegie.

I'm thinking that the next body may have tube front bumpers and sliders and maybe some more cage. Not sure yet.

I can make a complete body on a couple days. I'm guessing about 12 hours total but I never timed it.

bigwill5686 · 11-13-2008, 06:10 PM

You need to do a full on exo cage around that jeep man

The Real Dogman · 11-13-2008, 07:42 PM

An exo on that rig would sacreledge(sp) Rock bash the hell out of it!!

SnoopMaxx · 12-26-2008, 02:01 PM

The rebuild and that transfer looks absolutely Astounding

bajabada$$ · 12-26-2008, 08:24 PM

Big Bill · 12-26-2008, 10:27 PM

Unbeliveable, you are a true craftsman. The body fab is first rate and also the framework and transfer case

WOW!

JamieB · 12-27-2008, 12:09 PM

Thats looks awesome! Thanks for the carnage pics.

ohsoslow · 12-28-2008, 12:21 PM

The time line was great but that seems like a lot of time spent for one comp and my entertainment, but thanks
