Many Jeeps in one

madjeeper · 10-07-2009, 06:45 AM

I'm curious to see if anyone has built a Jeep out of many different parts jeeps ie. CJ 3 body, Willys p/u nose, Comando doors something like that. I'm sure they are out there. Maybe waaay out there. Lets see some pics too. I have always wanted to do something off the wall like this. Johnny Cash style "one peice at a time" Any takers?

CJ7's and YJ's have a lot of interchangable parts. I have seen CJ's with YJ front clips and vice versa. YJ and CJ doors are interchangable as well as the hard tops.

Eh mine is more drivetrain oriented... but:

D300 t-case from a CJ
JK front turn signals
XJ rear leaf springs
CJ-style rear tail lights
Chevy front D60
D70HD from some kind of motor home

Cost, simplicity, stability, no need for swaybar, and was super easy to set up. I originally built it trying to get it done in like 7 months before my wedding... that didn't happen but I don't regret the leafs yet. With a traction bar they are great. I do need to get some with a bit more lift and that will help my shackle angle and have an arched spring at ride height so it should ride pretty good. The only issue I have now is over big bumps it jolts you like hell but that is because I set them up for maximum downtravel(It will droop damn near 14" straight down.
