ill have more pics up for everyone tmw, and i should be driving the jeep tmw.

oh and while i was doing all this, i also put a heater core in a chevy corsica and fixed the steering on a 78 jeep cj-5

 

lol it amazes me how you can

A. get parts / donor cars for free / mad cheap
B. Fix anything / Do anything

 

nice job chb, how exactly did you convert the 2wd into 4wd?
i noticed in the last photo you just attached it?

 

yea i had to pull off the tail end of the 4wd trans and put it onto the 2wd trans (removing the tail off the 2wd trans) it bolted right up without any problems.

supersize- im a mechanic you wouldnt believe the people who just gimme stuff to get rid of it, most people dont have money to fix it, or just want it gone, so i hustle them cheap. or since i do alot of work for them cheap, they just gimme stuff.
and my knowledge i mostly taught myself, you can do the work i do,if you shut your mouth watch and learn and if you dont understand something ask. also books explain alot

 

i been reading up on stuff, watched a few vids, im pretty sure i know how to change my fuel filter now haha

 

hey guys great news "SHE IS ALIVE" everything came out great, i drove it around for about an hr then took her off road and went trail riding for about 2 hrs, i had to pull the red ford ranger out 3 times he is on 32''s , we drove through some ruff stuff, by my jeep handled everything real well, didnt have any problems.


while i was under the hood and doing all this work i did a little water proofing, i sealed up alot of things and i extended all my breather hoses.

 

lulz, thats great, i love 4wheeling. get soem video... GJ on the build

 

well guys we had a great christmas 6hr trail ride, and i did get my jeep buried, i also got a video from my cousins phone of a toyota that got stuck and my buddy pulled him out, im gonna be loading a few pics and the video for ya.

 

 

here is a quick video my cousin took, next time we gonna ride in the daylight so we can get better videos. this guy was an idiot, he kept talking so much crap about how bad his truck was and it wouldnt get stuck, well 15 mins into the ride he was the first one to get stuck lol.
