The plan:
YJ tub and Frame with CJ grill and hood.
Vortec 5.3 / SM465 / Atlas?
leaf spring all around
Ford 9 rear, 35 spline
Ford 9 front, 35 spline (this depends on time and money)
40" tires, H2 wheels

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
you wouldn't like 40" tires. if i were you i would go smaller.
there is always a reason some things are in a junkyard!
wtf? Is that one you guys got?
Boats and hoes
Stumble in to the liquor store
With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
what a mess.
Teardown is complete. Now it's time to cut and grind all the crap off the frame and to scrap / blast all the glue (they glued the carpet on) off the body...

Just out of curiosity how did yall lift the tub off the frame?
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"

I did it myself with an engine hoistOriginally Posted by afroman006

... question? probably already been asked... why not just put a new motor and trans and such in lyndas jeep with a new grill and hood from the CJ???????
Because that would be too logical, and girls don't think that way.
Because we can sell it for about $4000 and we won't be using ANYTHING on it and we wouldn't be able to sell any of it parts if we did take it apart. The body has too many dents too.Originally Posted by J Cooper
I bought the tub and frame for $650. That's $3350 to spend on parts that I would be out if I started from Lynda's.
Plus - the one I bought came with spare front axle parts, I can replace her broken shaft now. I also have a D35C shaft to sell. The body is in better shape also...
Make since yet???
