Re: The Hijack Zone - Zombies Welcome
Hey Vert,
Cool, did you pull the body off or get it that way? not bad for $100
Guess what I did today, went to East Moriches and the guy didn't have the body off so Charlie and I wound up doing it just to get it home today. Not too bad it took us a total of 2 hrs start to finish. The kid selling it was pretty much lost, basically watched while we stripped it down. He had been trying to take the tub off the frame with the steering column, shifters, brake lines etc still hooked up... EEK
But anyhow here she is
And here is my old girl that is donating her body ;-)
I wound up flat towing the frame home LOL. It was $75 to rent a trailer and $108 for a tow bar to own, The tow bar won hands down. We did get lots of strange looks pulling just a roller, stayed off the highway just took backstreets to avoid SCPD
The new pistons, rods etc came in for the 383 which is going to be the new power plant for her

Nothing like 400hp in a YJ wrangler to break parts......um um I mean have some 4 wheeling fun with lol.
There is already a 1" body lift for it but I don't know if I am using it. I'm going to get a Rough Country 2" lift kit and that might be enough.
It cost $700, but the tires are 30 x 9.5 x 15 90% tread, plan on repainting the rims and selling on CL for $400. Aside from that I am going to scrap the engine =$100, Cat=$25 . Sell the 4 cyl engine+ tranny on mine $800, the rear + front $400 then scrap the old rusted out frame for whatever. Total $1725+ less the 700 for the frame the grand should cover the chevy adapters bell housing conversion and clutch .
All in all the hot rod Jeep conversion with new chassis, Just about FREE Hehehe
