Jimmy wanted a build thread so here goes.

Mike is a well known friend of ours who has been in and out the game for awhile. Here are the earliest pics I can find of his Jeep when it was a Jeep:
1 tons, 383, 40 TSL's, 4link front and rear

So after about a good week of after hour shop work here is it; plan is coilovers, propane, fully buggy. low and simple...as Jimmy says "the anti-Ben build"

The front will come off soon when motor mounts arrive. The guys are trying to decide front or rear cooling. He already has a Jeep liberty hood and narrowed grill.
 
thanks for posting these up... this is really a budget build... using what we have, and just getting out on the trail... but built w/ quality enough stuff that will hold up....
 
JImmy and Mike got the front hacked off and started coolant lines to the rear. Also the hood and grill are cut and ready. pics:

Well it was a roller for awhile at the shop
-then moved outside the shop
-then loaded on a trailer and moved to Mikes house where it sat for years until he finally sold it


Don't forget Randy Morris is on a 10year build!

I wasn't thinking of this rig. There used to be a buggy on 49 irocs and rocks that used to ride around GR around 2005 ish and I thought the owners name was Mike
