Jeep Wrangler Crawler/Trail Rig

[Bigjeepzz]

I started this Wrangler about 4 years ago and just about destroyed it. I pulled it out the other day and figued I would do something with what was left. Here is where I am starting. It is going to end up with coil-over shocks, 4-link rear, 3-link front, and all sorts of other goodies.

I chopped all the nonsense I didn't need off the frame and I added the brackets I needed for my control arms. I also fabbed up the shock hoops to accept the coil-over shocks.

I got the front suspension fabbed up and glued in place. This build is going to look like it is crawling (articulating suspension). I still need to build the steering box and drag link to finish the front suspension. Once the chassis is built I will start on the body. Thanks for looking.

Another awesome build to follow along with and I can't wait to see it finished! You are a heck of a builder of these crawler Jeeps!

Thanks Doug and Manny.

I got the rear suspension completed tonight. It is starting to come together. I need to finish painting the engine and get it glued in place and the front steering still needs completed. I hope to work on it tommorrow. Hopefully I can finsh the chassis completely and start working on the body. Thanks for looking.

That is cool so far. Where did you get the coilovers and the beadlock rims ? Did you make them youself? Looking forward to seeing it finished.

I resin cast the beadlocks rims and I make the coil-overs out of aluminum tubing. Thanks for the comments.

Well like I stated the chassis is complete, minus the drive shafts. I had to scratchbuild the pitman arm and glue it to the steering box. It actually came out better than I thought it would. I am going to get a chance to work on the body tonight to fix a few mistakes I made in the past. I am hoping to lay some paint on the body tommorrow. We will see how tonight goes. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks to Doug, a good friend, I was able to decide what color to paint the Jeep. I got the body painted and I also built the swing-out spare tire carrier. I also got the winch painted and glued up front as well. Hopefully I can get some time to fab up the cage and start wrapping this build up. Only time will tell, thanks for looking.
