Mattilacken Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) So i where in my cabin for the Easter and a thought got stuck in my mind. The grand that I started as an off-road project years ago would need an other engine.. a viper engine and what if I could make a viper IRS rear end work.. and of for sure I need a 4x4… pulled it out of storage and started messing about.. but I settled on Skyline GTR rear axle and front differential since they where way better fit so far.. engine fits ok. And yes this one will be one low heep. And think of it more like a viper with Jeep body than the other way around.. maybe I should enter this to the CBR? Great tourer! 😂 I see this as a plausible concept Jeep would made back in maybe 1995? Wheels are five spook “iroc” from Pegasus which would resemble similar Jeep wheels of the time. Don’t be shy, please comment, ideas are welcome! Edited April 17, 2023 by Mattilacken 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I have been doing som CAD work on this.. since i have cut the wheel arch back in the day for big tires i need to adress it. So I sketched this up.. Thpughts? Would be rougly 2 inches wider than stock on each side and the front arch comes upp about 2mm to drop the nose more as its in the pictures.

stitchdup Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I like it but maybe have the front fender stop at the bumper top, and pull the sides of the bumper out to meet them? it would match the back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Made some changes to the flares and decided to more or less extend the side sil plate instead of adding a "box" sil. Bumpres are up next on this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
