Yup, that is an option for sure......

Most of the concept is there, but I think they missed the mark on style...sorry...picky.... Honestly, take the shape of the stock bumper, trim/kick the ends like the AEV bumper, enlarge the wheel radius....that would be about perfect.

Honestly, I wish a company would just make a simple light rear bumper. Nothing fancy, it could even look mostly like the stock bumper. Improve the clearance at the corners slightly. Modify the clearance scallop in the middle to match a larger tire radius. Add some simple tow hook supports. Use...

Yup, I think the main point is that diesel trucks, especially manual transmission versions, are VERY tolerant of taller gearing.

200,000+ views....holy cow.....

Thanks. Good luck on your project. Are the 39s and 3.55s perfect, no. Is it workable for most things, yup. Start in 1st and 5th is only for 60-65+mph.

Learn? It's not THAT hard really to do stuff like an axle shaft, belts, etc. A clutch in the boonies is probably a bit of a stretch in general, pour some Coke on it and hope for the best....

Is the main part of the new top molded in one piece? Just wondering because of my 3-door long wheelbase research project.... Thanks.

I would concentrate on things that will help you get back to town..... -PRINTED FSM in the vehicle at all times. -Code reader, see the FSM for details on the codes -Serpentine belt, that fails and your pretty much dead in the water theses days....alternator, power steering, maybe the cooling...

Today I installed the Spartan locker in the front axle....fun..... Hey look, Willys unit bearings! I REALLY like this feature about my front axle disc brake conversion. Basically.... Pull the 5 lug nuts Pull the two bolts for the caliper, 19mm Pull the 6 nuts at the spindle, 9/16 Then bingo...

If you where careful you could use stock curved glass for those windows....well, minus the slider. Personally, I want it simple simple. Clean 'panelwagon' sides and a single rear door. I would rather see a single full rear door without the factory pop-up glass. Then you could use the stock...

How many problems does the non-flat side of the JK introduce?

Do you use any kind of backing strip to reinforce the bolted seam? Any seal between the two panels at the joint? Cool stuff! The modular top approach could also solve the window/no-window arguement. You could even run a window on one side and no window on the other....

The 'perma-flow' process can convert regular biodiesel in to VERY cold weather tolerant bio-diesel. I think in the original trials they ran it down into the -40-50F range.... I talk about it here more...

If anyone knows jeep tops its you! I like the idea of the modular top. How do you attach the panels together? To be honest a bolted joint makes me slightly nervous in the long term, but the factory top is basically just glued so what do I know. I agree that a modular system that would allow...

While I think something could be done with patches, welding, and bondo that is not the direction I want to see this concept idea go. Using the jk8 body parts gets you almost there. The challenge is making the custom top in a way that it will meet or exceede the longevity, quality, and features...

$114,000 vs $41,000 I think I see a small issue. Spend another $73,000 on the Jeep and then lets have another comparison. 6.4 hemi? go-fast suspension? any axles you could dream of? 3.0 diesel? The options are just about limitless.

Yup........boring old white. I guess it pulls off the simple commercial vehicle look the best. White body matched top and black flares...

So far just plain white is winning in my head....boring I know....

One other note.... How is the caster on the front axle? Those scout axles are notorious for having almost no positive caster. Did you take that into account when you did the shackle reversal?
