Cool 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

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

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

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......

Re: JEEP | Rubicon X

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