Are you sure that's not a Dana 30 in the front, and not a Dana 35?

You cant be serious about this whole thing...are you?

Nice

Personally not my cup of tea.. but it's not mine. I do appreciate the hard work that goes into a "one-off" project like this though.. it's not easy to do. As long as it's safe I say go for it!!

While I admire the hard work and knowledge you've put in this - I'd love to see a good CJ body on that frame!

It's your time, it's your money.

Everybody's doing the tiptoe dance and trying to be politically correct, but I'll go ahead and say it. That looks like an order of *** with a side order of what the hell and a shouldn't have done it to go.

effin badass!

Looks cool, I had a friend out a chevy vega bosy on a ford bronco frame with 35's it was cool as hell. Good Luck!

Dude, if you want to do it then you should. But I think it is the most ugly thing ever and I don't cuss but when I saw the body on the frame I had a bad word in the back of my head. But you should have plenty of power!

Have fun doing what you want to do!

Update the thread man, more pics. We may poke fun at you, but we still want to see what you've come up with.

Your giving the rest of us New Yorker's a bad rap building that thing! Did ya trade the trailer screen door for the metro? Ok all kidding aside, it's not my thing but to each his own. Let's see more pics. What size tires are you going to run on that stump jumper?

Sorry about being awhile since I updated. Since the last update, I have the body mounted to the frame at 4 spots, and got the rear bumper welded on. Then, I backed it into a portable garage for the winter. Trying to save up money so when Spring hits, I can go at it again.

I plan on running 33's on it. Any bigger and I would have to change out at least the axle's.
