So as with my last couple builds, its been a while lol.

Been messing with this on and off for about a week. Bought a crawler king and the axles aren't wide enough for what I want so ill be looking for some AR60s.

I decided to build this more comp oriented instead of daily driver/weekend trail rig mainly because I didn't want to buy shorter tires lol.
So I cut the rear fenders.

Followed by a sheet style chassis rail.

Decided I wanted to do more with the chassis, so I picked up some 1/2" square tubing and welded it up.

And split it down the middles.

Looking good, I'll be following your build, it's the same Hasbro Jeep as mine, "New Project ( for me )".

Frizzlefry, "My 70s GI Joe Jeep", also did a comp cut on his Jeep.

X2 , Iv'e had mine for year and always thought about doing this.

SirChirpAlot · 01-11-2016, 12:11 PM

I would like to build one of these later on.

ScalerLover · 01-11-2016, 02:04 PM

Thanks guys, Ill check out those builds you mentioned.
I bought this body almost 2 years ago when I was getting back into building, I bought up about 6-8 1:6 bodies then sold everything again. This one stuck around for some reason lol.

Hopefully this time I stick around and keep building, got a couple other bodies already in line after this one.

67mustang · 01-11-2016, 02:25 PM

Looks good. If it has big tires...I am all for it.

ScalerLover · 01-16-2016, 10:43 AM

Little more work done today.
Plated the frame rails in the insides of the cuts.

Then decided to do something about the current floor/firewall being the hacked state that it is in.

So I removed it and replaced it all with sheet metal.

And then added a new trans tunnel.

ScalerLover · 01-16-2016, 03:27 PM

Couple more pics for today.

Body mounts made and welded on.

And just another to see how its gonna sit.

kgb424 · 01-22-2016, 07:47 PM

what skid plate are you going to use

are you going with a motor forward plate and transfer case

Like a lot of the other Jeeps like yours

kgb424 · 01-23-2016, 10:07 AM

I almost bought a Hasbro Willy's, there was a couple that were reasonable

But I went with the Humvee cause it is something different

either way the chassis would cause me problems I still can't figure out the layout

So I don't have to have shock loops welded on later

And I can't draw worth a shit, I have drew out a few shock loops

but nothing seems right

spankbomb · 01-23-2016, 01:45 PM

Curious what you do with the old school seats as I have three of these to play with in the future.

Just going to make a steel skid.

mjderstine · 01-24-2016, 12:34 AM

It's mine now

Still focusing on my IH CXT and trailer build but I have some plans for this thing

AR60s, SSD breadlocks and RC4WD Rok Lox. I wanna use a Holmes 27t combined with a RC4WD 16:1 planetary transmission (along with the RC4WD transfer case it already has).
