JKU on tons, v8, 41.5" iroks at Motobilt.com

motobilt · Apr 25, 2016

We started with a 2wd used JKU as we know we are swapping the drive train, axles, suspension.
The Axles were pulled then the body was lifted off the frame.

The next step was cut off all the old mounts that we were no longer going to use.

Re:

Gonna be a new frame or mods for the old one?

We are going to make modifications to the existing frame. Lots of cool new products should come from this build.
Thanks,
Motobilt

The drive train was removed then the brackets were cut off they were then cleaned up.

I approve this build simply because you are ridding the world of a 2wd wrangler.

We are using Chevy 1 ton axles in this rig. Shown below is the GM 14 bolt FF rear axle. We are using a full blown competition truss on this axle. It consists of a HD inner truss over the differential which ties into a pinion guard via a bolt on bridge. Next is the full length truss which ties into the interior truss. This setup is extremely HD! You can also see our bolt on disc brake brackets for the 14 bolt in the pictures along with the HD Motobilt Diff Covers
