    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    Continuation from my last post. I got it driving the next week so I could get to school and back. It was working great and I was ecstatic. However… nothing was painted, and it was late fall 2024, and of course the snow started to fly. So here I am driving to school on bare metal, and I was...

    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    I’ve never made a post about my Motobilt front half with the three link, sooo here you go. I decided to lop the front of my Jeep off on a Friday afternoon right after I got out of my classes. The goal was to get it driving again by Monday so I could get to class. I don’t know how I did it, but I...

    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    Found a set of full doors for a steal and I cannot believe the difference it makes on the highway. Holy cow. So much more comfy and convenient, especially in drive-throughs. I’ve got some prototype door skins on order from @Fluxor, so it should blend in a bit better than the cop-car vibe of...

    I thought I had seen the flak jackets somewhere. Once I test fit them, I’ll post the results here. Thanks again Klay for letting me be the guinea pig.

    It’s a 39” kanati and it is extremely cumbersome to remove. I probably won’t ever use it, it’s just in there incase I get stranded. In a realistic situation I blow a tire I’ll limp it home and order one that matches my other 4 40” Patagonia X/t

    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    Found more random pics for the cage and my old bent sliders. Greatest way to get the cage out was witching it from the roof I was going to start up a tow truck but the battery was dead on the old wrecker I wanted to use. so roof was the best choice and that was after pulling it out with a...

    Next up is my cage. I also went a little bit of a different route on this one. I went with the company XO-Fab—Anthony Diss was awesome to work with. I was able to get a few measurements of what I wanted, and he adapted his traditional cage to work with my requirements. I wanted the fastback...

    113.5” , I think. It’s always around 112.5 to 114 It seems to be different every time I try and measure. I do move my ride height around all the time which is also the cause of the variability

    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    This was one hell of a week. April 19th, 2025—I was out in Sand Hollow playing around on a trail called The Maze rated 8 and snapped my rear output shaft. Yes, I know it’s the stock one. I just haven’t justified putting in a slip yoke elim and getting a new driveshaft because I so badly want to...

    So how I’m going to do this is post as many pics as I can, which I think explains better than I can type and then I’ll try and make posts about particular questions or integral parts of my Jeep

    Swiss Cheese a TJ-6 Story

    I’ve been telling myself for years I’d finally get this written down to help organize and explain how and why I did certain things with my Jeep. Quick backstory: it’s my first car—I got it when I was 15—and I’ve never stopped loving the damn thing. I front-halfed and back-halfed it while daily...

    There is no load rating by the letter of the law, But I am more than confident that the frame and bumper can take tenfold of what the factory can. I tow wave runners out to the lake about a 3 hour drive and it does just fine, I do turn compression up on the shocks but that is it. Attached is a...

    From the back of the seats to the bumper is entirely custom tub so my rear axle bumps higher and has more room which also means I have room for more crap under there. If you wanted to see that routing done on a stock tub you can look at the GR Jeep gallery
