Project 2.0

**tjjared413** · January 4th, 2015, 11:01 PM

Ok so the time has come to make some changes to the jeep after our trip to St. George I wanted a buggy that was lighter and had better visibility.

The plan is:

Pulling the tub off and tubing it out
I'll be keeping all the drivetrain and the suspension mounts to save time
I'll be rising the t-case to get a flat belly
I'll be keeping the jeep hood and grill
The chassis will be 50 or 52" wide
The goal is to add space to for the dogs to ride on the long roads to trail heads
Sold the rear air shocks and going with 14"2.0 coilovers

Here is what it looked like before this rebuild

Pulled the cage

Dash pull and tub is about ready to come off

**tjjared413** · January 4th, 2015, 11:12 PM

I am hoping to be done in like 4 or 5 months

**The Man With The Plan** · January 4th, 2015, 11:13 PM

In time for Rock Junction.

**Chris Halvorson** · January 5th, 2015, 12:22 AM

Looking good Jared.

**dcastell** · January 5th, 2015, 08:43 AM

The tear down part is my favorite. You get so much progress done real quick. We can push each other to get the rigs done. What are your plans as far as the cage/style?

**tjjared413** · January 5th, 2015, 09:09 AM

Tear down is so easy! lol i was just talking about this VS how long it takes to get it up and runing and yes we can i am calling out few of the other slow guys on here to get theirs done as well! ill be going for a 2 seater top part of the cage but with add space at the belt line area. i really like the jims Garages chaissis but mixed with som goat build lines

i am calling out Chris Halvorson and Jeepindna in a challenge or a race loser buy beers! first one on the trial wins! (your welcome)

**clemsonkrawler** · January 5th, 2015, 09:29 AM

I wish I had stuck to this idea when I tore mine down years ago. Good luck with the build.

**wesjrock** · January 5th, 2015, 11:19 AM

What about Russ? Your not gana call him out??

**tjjared413** · January 5th, 2015, 11:47 AM

**mushroomax** · January 5th, 2015, 04:03 PM

slow asses

**tantonio** · January 5th, 2015, 04:23 PM

We knock that shit out in like what 2 weeks Max?

**bluexj** · January 5th, 2015, 05:02 PM

That's about what it took me to build mine but it was every spare second to do it.

Fine! I'll call out Russ!!
Russ I'm calling you out! Looser has to drink a shot of fire ball for every week they're behind the winner!

**Chris Halvorson** · January 5th, 2015, 06:20 PM

Make Russ snort whiskey...that is always a good time.

**Wally** · January 5th, 2015, 07:31 PM

FWIW, my buggy is 50" wide and while it does work well in tight spots I really wish it were closer to 54" wide. Making room for two dogs and two adults in a 50" wide chassis will be tough without adding 10" or more to the back.

Yeah your right, not set on width just yet have kinda started a chassis and it's at 50" but it will not be hard to adjust

I agree. Can't wait to see what you come up with Jared!

Oh and snorting alcohol is a great way to feel like your nasal passages are on fire for the rest of the evening. At least that is how I felt when I was talked into trying it a few years back.

**tjjared413** · January 6th, 2015, 01:10 PM

thanks Aaron, ill be calling you and setting up a time to see how much the new 2.0 weighed vs the old set up of 4400 lbs

**WideJ** · January 6th, 2015, 09:10 PM

Perfection takes time my friend. When you need me to show you how to weld, give me a call.

Yeah Wes, you're right. That was a little harsh. Maybe we should start with something small, like helping him learn how to tie laces, so he can finally get out of those velcro shoes. :derp:

**tjjared413** · January 13th, 2015, 04:32 PM

after you show me how to tue my shoes ill show you how to work on your buggy after you lose this bet!

**The Man With The Plan** · January 13th, 2015, 04:39 PM

I'd just be happy if you learned to type and spell.

**J Kimmel** · January 13th, 2015, 06:11 PM
