Talking Jeep Build for Easter Jeep Safari

Wow, a pretty cool rig with some substantial changes from stock. Thought some might be interested in the fabrication and substantial alteration that happens to the Jeeps. It didn't used to be like this but the Jeep "community" has gotten more skilled and sophisticated in terms of engineering and fabrication capability.

This "used to be" an LJ (TJ Unlimited, the stretched version).


Replaced the stock axles and made their own out of various components


TJ Unlimited build

  • 40" tires
  • custom roll cage
  • custom high-strength axles
  • custom hood / front fenders





Finished rig.




Measuring to custom cut the axle housing




Custom steering knuckles




Tacking in the roll cage for fitment.




Rough part of town when they steal your axles, not just your wheels.
