Got the frame lengthened, the body cut and mocked up. 12-valve is pulled and going for tear down and rebuild. Should be getting good now.

If they're tearing into the Cummins, I'm hoping they take the opportunity to build that engine right   {letseat}

I'm pretty sure with as deep as MBRP is into the diesel market, they will have a nice power plant working.

Agreed. A Cummins-powered Jeep is a beautiful thing.

WTF is that hanging under Doug's picture...is that a portal for the drive shafts? Good luck when that slams into something or snags a rock...

Its a transfer case prob a profab its a mud bogger thing. That jeep is built for the mud. No need to bash it cause its not lcog. Guy prob spent alot of time and money in it. And even though its 34' its different. {popcorn}

Still oogly. Swapping Jeep bodys on fullsize truck frames tends to be hard to pull off cleanly.

Jimmy Joints FTW   :D

Quote from: MBRP Tech 1;811910
Here are some pictures of the Summit Machine "Jimmy Joints" The high misalignment design provides 60 degrees of total misalignment. We are using 1 1/4" for the large ones and 3/4" for the small ones.

(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss176/coopers68/Rattletrap%20Pics/HeimJoints.jpg)

This is a size comparison on the 1 1/4"s

(http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss176/coopers68/Rattletrap%20Pics/Heimjointsize.jpg)

We also have the steering arms from North West Fab. They are a springless design which is adjustable for king pin preload vs. using a spring for that.

It is way too high IMO. Looks like it should have rockwells and monster truck tires on it. Hope they bring it down before it's all over :P

Looks like there's no drivetrain in there. That Cummins will make her sit a little I'm sure.

So why not just use a 3.0L Diesel from a totaled jeep instead?  just sayin'.. other than yes the cummings I-6 is a beast. . now find an Allison tranny to bolt up and it'll be a Jeep god
