I started this build last winter as something to work on when I got pissed at my buggy build or was waiting on parts. The goal is to have something streetable that I can run mild trails with, do some exploring and tow behind when we go camping. It is a Mieser inspired frame that I widened enough to run waggy axles without outboarding the hangers too far. I also stretched it a little to allow the use of YJ springs for a more comfortable ride. Wheelbase is around 92". Power is a 2002 4.3l backed with a 4l60e and a dana 300. Axles are waggy front 44 and Isuzu rodeo rear 44. 35" tires are the plan with 4.88's in the axles.
I decided to stick to leaves for simplicity and a more classic look.
First pictures are of the frame going together.
I drilled a piece of flatbar to locate the hangers where I wanted them for wheelbase and used it to build the center sections off of, both rails were build next to each other to retain symmetry.
