JEEP | Rubicon X

Some years ago (2003 if memory serves) I had a JEEP CJ with a warped
body, some leftover NASCAR parts and a weekend with nothing to do...

Instead of trying to fix the body I discarded it and modified the rollcage to
fit the JEEP frame to create a rock crawler / dune buggy.

Nowadays I would definitely build a custom suspension, allowing for more
suspension travel. Back then I just wanted to build something quickly for
motivation purposes :uhoh:

I never bothered to make it dirty, but will do so as soon as I get around to :runaround:

Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking!

It is amazing what you did with that nascar chassis. It looks like it could also be a good desert buggy.

Seems you had some fun with that :thumbsup:

It's like looking at one of those transforming picture optical illusions - one minute I see a jeep and the next a NASCAR and then a jeep and then......

Hehehe....COOL!!!!

I think it looks wonderful!

That's a great idea, weather it a little & it'll look even better.
