I am jeepless right now for the first time in 10 years. I went from two rigs to none in a little over a year. Anywho, I was thinking about starting a budget build. I am open to suggestions....I am a bit partial to the CJ7, but not deadset on it....I liked the dash and visibility of my CJ, and was a bit turned off by the lack of such visibility in my TJ. I was very impressed with the abilities of the TJ and felt like coils were pretty freakin sweet (both CJ and TJ were locked at both ends). I have all the tools (minus a bender). I would like to do something like the guy from NY, I can't remember his name, but I believe its a stretched green willy's body on a ford bronco frame. Hell of a nice guy, we have wheeled with him a couple times. Very capable rig, I am not sure if he custom built the frame or not (This dude is everywhere, so most of you guys have probably met him or seen his rig). I am cool with going with "whats available" as far as parts go, ie. engine, axles, tcase, tires, body.....I figure if I am in no real hurry, I could just pick up parts here and there. It will probably end up costing me more in the end, but I would get the satisfaction of building it myself and plus it would spread the cost out over time, rather than having to put out all the money at once. Anyone know if I could get a vehicle titled, if I built it myself? I will try to attach a shot of the rig that I like.
