Ain't nothing ever easy. Glad you were able to work it out the way it sorted out.
A more modern frame would be a good choice to base your truck off of. A good foundation for your build will pay...

Good deal! Congratulations on everything working out.
Let me know if you need any help. I'm not too far away.
On welding most anything, I like to run as hot as I possibly can. On my Miller, on anything that isn't Sheetmetal, I run the heat all the way up to the max. Then I adjust the wire speed to match my...
Can't wait to see it up close!
Here is some video from Moab of some stock-ish Heeps taking on the terrain.

That level of destruction makes for good stories.
My car trailer also serves as a frame rack and body panel stretcher. The crease in the rocker will be the toughest part to shrink, but building heavier rock sliders would fit the bill better for the...
When in doubt, hit the gas! Great job!
A step back never hurts, just don't be like me and step all around it, and not pick up a tool. Now that I have the driver's side floor board primed, so it is a matter of buckling down and start...
Go the other direction, or underdrive. The doubler will make a 2:1 to a 4:1, making the vehicle idle straight up and over an obstacle.
Looking good!
What is the going rate for the re-flash? I like the low end grunt of the 6.0 gasser, and have toyed with the idea of dropping one in the wagon.
That's what you find here. Run into the ground mechanically, but rust free. What would scare most northern buyers is the fact that there were no titles issued on '80 and newer. Before moving here,...
All of my personal stuff, and the M38A1 came from Illinois, so they were salt victims. The Wrangler was a local item, but a design flaw to the frame is that there are no drains at the bottom. Mud...
I choose to section a frame by cutting an angle for more surface area. I put fish plates on the inside of the frame to disguise a frame repair on my own rigs, but on a heavy duty repair I would put...
If I were in the market for a bed, I would gladly pay around $500 for a bed that isn't destroyed. The floor looks to be solid and not beat to death, so that is a good starting point. The fenders...
You have yourself a keeper! I managed to marry a girlie girl who might break a nail. She likes to ride with on going to town, and doesn't mind the dust being kicked up off the floor of the heep...
That's terrible luck on the windshield, but you made up for it on the win column. The real feat was getting the Misses up under the dash to pull wires. I don't see that ever happening at the rust...
I figured your ride was washed out. It came a pretty good storm that Saturday afternoon.
Extra beef doesn't hurt a thing. Looks good! 203/205 doubler should get you up and over nearly any...
Sounds like a plan.
Come on ahead. Now if we can get Pelago to bring a few rifles with him, the county Sheriff's shooting range is across the road. He can school us on precision marksmanship.
I'm located about three miles from the gate. We'll have to get together for a drink at the camp.
On the weekends, folks come from far and wide to run at Coccoloco Mountain OVR park. There are insanely expensive custom buggies to the low buck Bronco II with the winders knocked out.
Bring it on over if you ever go rock crawling on the mountain in Jacksonville, AL. Just an idea if you don't want to tackle it.
