3 years ago I was bored of my Cherokee buggy (will post some pics of her later) Friend of mine has a line on newer 14b and Snowfighter 60 for $1500. I let the guy sit on them for a while. I ended up scoring the axles already cleaned up with some links for $1000.
Few weeks later stumble upon a set of 42” Iroks and Stazworks wheels for $1200.
Has them laying around for a few weeks, tossed around the idea of just gluing them under my Cherokee but had the itch to do a full new build.
Scoured CL for a cheap CJ7 or YJ, ended up finding a 74 DJ5 for $400 with title.
Brought it home and started eyeing everything up.
Tossed the factory frame and running gear. Built a copyish frame of the factory out of 2x3 3/16.
The plan was to keep it low as possible. The grille was too tall and would have hit the ram mount at what I wanted to be full bump.
I ended up sectioning 5” out of the grille and it got me to where I wanted to be.
