Sorry for no updates. Planting season is rapped up and we will be done with first crop hay this week. Then it's back to the jeep.

Here is where i'm at on the body.. I've got just one mount to make on the passenger side. Then I'll start putting the floor in and building the rest of the cage.. My brother and I keep going back in forth about how to plate the side... One idea is to fill the cut outs between all the stand...

Been on and off this last few weeks. Got the tub all welded up and mounted on the frame. Have two more mounts to make and then I'll be working on the role cage.

checked the engine this weekend and yes it is a 258. Would have been disappointed had it turned out someone swapped in the 232! Thanks again for the heads up cause I wouldn't have checked to make sure till I needed to install parts, lol

Short night in the shop, but I did manage to get the stand off pipes I need to connect the top and bottom rails done.

I did vin code look up on it, and the vin code says it came originally with the 258, but I will verify tonight. Will it say 258, or 232 right on the block?

Depending on the year it could be a multi function switch. Or your light switch is self.

I know one thing for sure, there are a lot of similarities and a ton of difference between building a jeep that you wanna take down the road, and building a race car you wanna go fast in a circle! lol

Cleaned up the frame and staring mocking up the new body. My plan is to recreate the tub and fender frame using roll cage tubing. It's been coming along very well. Got all my pipe delivered about a week ago and have gotten the tub bars bent, just have to weld in the stand offs and get...

With my little helper by my side I got the body separated from the frame. I was able to save some of the tub, and will use the rest as a template to rebuild off of. I will be reusing the hood, firewall, transmission tunnel, and front grill. The rest of the body I will be remaking myself.

After I got it running right again, I started taring into the body and realized in a hurry she needed a major overhaul...

Well it's been 16 long and painful years since I last owned a Jeep. Finally got one a month or so ago. I've been working on it since and thought I would share it will you all. Here is what she looked like the day I picked it up. She came with lots of newer parts already installed. Aluminum...

Thanks, my 75 is now a project... I'll start another post in the appropriate location

Hello everyone, Well a little about myself as far as jeeps go.. When I was 17 I sold my pickup and bought my first Jeep. A 1948 M38A1. Being a farm kid I was pretty good at wrenching and dropped a 350 Chevy in it. Swapped the axles for set out of a 1975 CJ-5, and drove it all summer.. Winter...
